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.

This page is not a forum for general discussion about George Soros. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about George Soros at the Reference desk.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

Biased article

This article needs to discuss criticism of Soros of which there is a lot and not just from the right. This is a man who collapses national economies - the polar opposite of a philanthropist, since such actions create poverty and put people out of work.

I expect some Soros apologist will try and have this comment deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:4c8:141a:a1b4:1:1:c0ac:1162 (talk • contribs) 01:40, 11 February 2019 UTC (UTC)

Then get off your ass and find the RSes that cover this "criticism". Until then, you're just pissing in the wind with comments like this. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 13:26, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There has been 48 separate editors over the history of this page that have called for more balance, particularly a criticism section. Approx 123 different RS material has been posted anyone can find 10,000 more merely by searching his name. Four editors have over ridden the 48 since the inception of this page. There is no editing this page unless cleared by the left wing cabal. But hey it sure is fun pretending otherwise and duping these poor folks into actually trying it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.251.239 (talk) 04:47, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"left wing cabal". The talking points of FOX 'news' strike again. Its a stale routine (yawn). Try something else like facts. May make all the difference. Best.Resnjari (talk) 05:12, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If only you folks were actually important enough to make Fox news. MIT cited the problems with WP including that one. Maybe it will show up on #fakenews for you soon. Try addressing the facts-there are 10 pages of arch9ives of editors calling for a criticism section and more balance here along with the RS material to support it. Yet, the same four gate keepers keeps it off the page.
