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!

A fact from Russian interference in the 2020 United States elections appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 October 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that according to Robert Mueller, who investigated foreign interference in the 2016 US presidential election, foreign interference in the 2020 US elections is ongoing? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2019/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Russian interference in the 2020 United States elections.

There are some items in this article pertaining to China, Iran, and some minor notes on other countries. We may need to add more on Ukraine, based on this story from yesterday. Perhaps the non-Russian items should be on a separate page? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:51, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Or just move this page to Foreign interference in the 2020 United States elections. – Anne drew 02:11, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NYTimes [1] --Calthinus (talk) 13:58, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted this addition; it has been restored with the edit summary It is [comparable] because it pigeonholes russians the same way the red scare did. I don't really follow this argument. At best, it seems WP:OR. The extensive documentation in reliable sources already present in this article makes pretty clear that we're talking about something quite different. For starters, the Russians in question ... aren't communists. Listing the Red Scare here is like dropping the controversy over whether MSG is actually unhealthy into the article on TikTok. (Moreover, per the big warning box up top, All editors must obtain consensus on the talk page of this article before reinstating any edits that have been challenged (via reversion). It seems that the item should be removed from the "See also" since it was challenged via reversion, but I'll leave that for somebody else to do if they see fit.)

I don't think the Red Scare should be listed in "See also". It's a very different episode.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:17, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was sure I had seen information here about the emails to Democrats, threatening them if they didn't vote for Trump and claiming to be from the Proud Boys, and the US report that they came from Iran. I don't see that here and I don't see it having been deleted. Maybe I was thinking about some other article? In any case, it needs to be here and I will look into adding it, maybe tomorrow. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:49, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Found it - it was in 2020 United States presidential election. I'll copy it here. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:51, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is Iran part of Russia these days?--Jack Upland (talk) 02:07, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
