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.

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!

Category "Non-state actors" added by User:The$park

What's the purpose of a new category Category:Non-State_Actors ? Is it meant to be a sub-category of Category:Donald Trump litigation ? 2001:4998:EFFD:519:54AD:F184:595A:2C42 (talk) 23:02, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fairly confident that this new user (The$park) who only makes changes via mobile app is contributing nothing but noise. Reverting addition of category. Dakleman (talk) 07:13, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wishlist for July 2017

Assuming the judge OKs the Joint motion (docket 40), nothing changes for almost six weeks. This is a dry period common to all the emoluments lawsuits. As the first-to-be-filed lawsuit, should this page have content about latter lawsuits? Do we want some sort of timeline of past and future-scheduled events for this pending lawsuit? Richard Painter has been on television often. Has he commented on this lawsuit? Other notable coverage? Dakleman (talk) 15:38, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Judge recusal?

I heard there was a recusal by the judge on the grounds of a relative or someone close to the judge having been hired by Robert Mueller. I trust my source but have yet to see any public domain corroboration. Supposedly, this is why nothing happened on 04. August 2017. If anyone has seen any back-up on this that passes muster under Wikipedia guidelines, he or she might update this article. --Achim Hering (talk) 02:32, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No documentation of recusal for cause, appearance of bias or suggestion of one is on the docket.^[1] On 2017-07-07 the former judge, Ronnie Abrams, agreed that based on personal circumstances of the DOJ lawyer that the parties' jointly-agreed schedule made more sense than the judge's initial plans. On 2017-07-11 a new judge took over. At the time, it looked like the schedule motivated the unexplained change in judges. On 2017-08-04 the plaintiffs filed a response to the DOJ motion to dismiss. The first hearing scheduled in the case is a 2017-10-18 hearing on that motion.^[2] However, on 2017-08-01, Reuters reports that the former judge's husband, Greg Andres, was hired by special counsel Robert Mueller. This in-process hiring does seem like a proximate and likely reason for a voluntary recusal three weeks earlier, but there remains only conjecture and speculation as the judge has remained mute.^[3]^[4] Dakleman (talk) 05:36, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
