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)

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.

Lead Section/paragraphs seems gigantic?

Is all of that information a concise summary of the body of the article? MaximusEditor (talk) 23:15, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

"He has expressed interest in Henri Bergson's concept of élan vital and Joseph Schumpeter's creative destruction. Additionally, he said that his initial inspiration to get into traditionalist philosophy was his reading of George Gurdjieff, when Dugin asked him to explain during a meeting they had together in Rome.[451]" -- "He said his inspiration to get into philosophy was his reading, when someone asked him to explain during a meeting." I feel like that should either be "which someone asked him to explain", or "when someone asked him to explain it" 71.47.252.144 (talk) 13:33, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the wording can be a bit difficult to follow there. I added "this" instead of the "it" you suggested, which may help. —ADavidB 02:40, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under the 'Connection to Jeffrey Epstein' it should include that he did release a trailer, for which there should be a link. This is the only footage of the 15 hours which has been released and is therefore important. Here is the link for the trailer: https://nypost.com/2021/10/19/jeffrey-epstein-told-steve-bannon-im-a-supporter-of-times-up/ 2001:1C01:4213:4200:58A3:6A9C:157F:BC (talk) 20:39, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: NY Post is not a reliable source for U.S. politics. See WP:NYPOST. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:25, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Political Prisoner

Bannon has self-identified as a political prisoner [1] [2]. Should this be mentioned?

Trump had also previously self-identified as a political prisoner. Talk:Donald_Trump/Archive_171#Political_prisoner. GobsPint (talk) 23:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typical right-wing behaviour, Playing the victim. --Denniss (talk) 12:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is a non political international encyclopaedia please refrain from American partisan discussion. If it's a fact people around the world might want to know what he says about himself. Whether he actually is one or not is a matter of opinion/debate so probably doesn't belong here or an opposing quote saying why he isn't would be a good way to add balance to the article. 94.1.209.125 (talk) 13:24, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add A Fact: "Bannon: Trump to prosecute Garland, Monaco, Smith"

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

Steve Bannon, a Trump adviser said that a second Trump administration will prosecute Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and special counsel Jack Smith.

The fact comes from the following source:
