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.

Potential typo in section 2.3.5 Michael Flynn's resignation and suspension from television appearances

It says, "It was then reported the Conway had afterwards leaked negative stories about Spicer to the press." I assume that the first "the" should read "that."50.235.102.246 (talk) 18:13, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have fixed this. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 18:17, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What on earth does this mean?

"Conway is known for self-booking herself as a guest on various news shows."

How can you self-book yourself on a news show? Please explain how that works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.2.34.156 (talk) 14:19, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I presume it means contacting the news show and asking to be featured, as opposed to the show contacting her and asking if she would appear. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this also denotes that the President or his Chief of Staff or Communications director was not involved in the booking. Self-booked. SPECIFICO talk 20:55, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Microwave mention?

Article needs to include her claim that cookware is now spyware. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.67.209.98 (talk) 21:15, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And now it's been addressed during a WH press briefing. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/sean-spicer-kellyanne-conway-microwave-surveillance-236038 --Sdifosdfj (talk) 22:32, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the first sentence of the third paragraph, I would suggest changing "untruths" to a less euphemistic, clearer phrase such as "false statements". Isaac Grosof (talk) 08:53, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable, I've made the change. --Bongwarrior (talk) 08:58, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Recentism in White House aide section

As I write this Donald Trump has been President for less than four months but almost half the article is on Conway's glitches during the first few weeks of his presidency. Too much emphasis on gossipy, political junkie information that in the long run will likely not seem very important. Wikipedia is not a running political newspaper. Motsebboh (talk) 17:18, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The section could probably be condensed, but can we agree that everything in that section (with the possible exception of the 'Morning Joe' content), is far more important that her overweight cousin and her blueberry farm career? She is primarily notable for her role in the Trump campaign and administration.- Mr X 18:47, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. We should give due weight based upon how notable the content is, and not how much of her life was spent doing it. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:58, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ MrX: I won't dispute you on heavy cousin and blueberries. However, she did have a substantial career in the political realm before she became a Trump adviser. Motsebboh (talk) 19:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
