Warning: active arbitration remedies

The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:

You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on this article (except in limited circumstances)
Changes challenged by reversion may not be reinstated without affirmative consensus on the talk page

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

Further information

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any of these restrictions should be reported immediately to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard.
Editors who are aware of this topic being designated a contentious topic and who violate these restrictions may be sanctioned by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.

With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as obvious vandalism.
In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
Whenever you are relying on one of these exemptions, you should refer to it in your edit summary and, if applicable, link to the discussion where consensus was clearly established.

The contentious topics procedure can be used against any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process. Contentious topics sanctions can include blocks, topic-bans, or other restrictions.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Could you add 250k donated to stop Gavin Newsom Recall in 2021. https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/07/newsom-recall-million-dollar-donors/

Not one point is mentioned about his views on India?

Please add a suitable point immediately for I am new to Wikipedia and do not know how to add references! Science nerd11112007 (talk) 06:00, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request edit to fix offensive image (2023-04-05)

When one's mouse hovers over the term "market fundamentalism" (which appears twice in the section "Political and economic views"), a popup appears with a photo of a housefly on feces. I don't know where/how this image originates (it des not appear in the main article: market fundamentalism) but it needs to be removed, it is offensive and an obvious troll of Wikipedia. Jimluschen (talk) 18:12, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimluschen: I see no such image on this article, the article market fundamentalism, or anywhere else accessible from this article. Can you provide any more information about how the image appeared? Mind matrix 20:24, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh how odd. I see it when not logged in on another browser when I hover over the market fundamentalism link. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 02:17, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's the image File:Ch.megacephala wiki.jpg. Cute trick, I wonder what's invoking it? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 02:21, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

yep, turned on page previews here, same thing. I've reported it on WP:VPT. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 02:31, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 July 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please make two changes:

[[Black Wednesday|Black Wednesday UK currency crisis]] should become [[Black Wednesday]] UK currency crisis. If just the words are linked, it's clear that this is the article title, but when the whole phrase is linked, it leads the reader to suspect that the crisis has some other, more formal, name.
By September 16, 1992, the day of [[Black Wednesday]] should have Black Wednesday delinked. The phrase is linked just three sentences earlier.
