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!

Was edit moved?

I recently added a large edit to the section of the article titled "Religion and LGBT rights" but now I can't find it. The edit history says nothing at all was removed, so I'm wondering; was my new edit relocated to a new portion of the article? Ryan1783

It's all still there within in an "LGBT rights" section. —ADavidB 14:41, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should his use of the word loadstar be mentioned in this wiki article? 82.21.133.132 (talk) 18:46, 7 September 2018 (UTC) I think you mean lodestar. Eccekevin (talk) 01:28, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The sidebar with information about Pence lists his address incompletely. Instead of "Number One Observatory Circle, Washington, DC," It should be "1 Observatory Circle NW, Washington DC 20008-3619" according to the USPS zip code lookup site. Bonitakale (talk) 13:59, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I don't think it's needed. It lists his residence, not his address. We don't need his full address for this. Fetchie Mankala (talk) 16:44, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Hot-Pence

This orphan needs a home: Glen Pannell. Would the fine people here help to decide where he should go? R2 (bleep) 15:30, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stuck it in a see also section for now. I'm not really sure it belongs in the body-text of the article. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 15:35, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

APEC speech bombshell

In light of media reports and with consideration of genuine vs fake, the single-largest reportable fact in the speech read by US Vice President Pence on the Cruise ships chartered for the Papua New Guinea APEC event may well have been the foreign military aid bombshell; the Vice President stated that US taxpayer-funded expenditure of 2018 totalled MORE THAN THE THREE PREVIOUS CONSECUTIVE YEARS, combined. Certainly this should be mentioned in the article?126.3.17.188 (talk) 16:56, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
