Please also ensure you use an accurate and concise edit summary.

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 Misplaced Pages, 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.

Provide Proof That Steve Bannon Participated in anyway to the 1980 Rescue Attempt of the American Hostages in Iran

In the narrative of Steve Bannon's Naval Service, the statement "In 1980, Bannon was deployed to the Persian Gulf to assist with Operation Eagle Claw during the Iran hostage crisis." is made. Please provide and require SPECIFIC proof of this reference and Steve Bannon's participation in Operation Eagle Claw. Far too many people who had nothing to do with Operation Eagle Claw claim participation in this action. TroyLWeeks (talk) 22:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Kranish, Michael; Whitlock, Craig (February 10, 2017). "How Bannon's Navy service during the Iran hostage crisis shaped his views". The Washington Post. Archived from the original on February 10, 2017. Retrieved December 6, 2017. He was an ensign and then a lieutenant junior grade, assigned to a windowless, two-bed stateroom with desks and a wardrobe area, a comfortable accommodation compared with the warren of bunks where most sailors slept. Andrevan@ 22:35, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

My point is a citation for this statement is needed to specify exactly what and how Bannon directly and purposefully "assisted" in the Eagle Claw Operation? Being assigned a junior officer and "sitting" in a stateroom maybe aboard a ship in a task force, doesn't rise to the level "assisting" in the Operation. Bannon could simply have been assigned to a ship, and by happenstance that ship was assign as part of the task force of THOUSANDS of Sailors just like him that were carrying out routine shipboard duties. Sitting in a stateroom while at sea is a routine part of a junior officer's day, he could have been counting paperclips or making coffee for this superior officer's. Again, what exactly did he do to contribute to the Operation that warrants the credit this article suggests? Otherwise, the reference appears to elevate Bannon's profile with a level of importance or valor he may not be entitled too. I would suggest digging deeper on his participation in Operation Eagle Claw and provide proof of his direct contribution to the Operation. TroyLWeeks (talk) 14:55, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

You are welcome to research it more or propose a change to the wording to clarify his role. Andrevan@ 14:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Lead photo

Aren't there any photos of Bannon that don't look like he's recently been in a radiation accident? EEng 15:40, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Not really, no. We can only do so much with what god has given us. Zaathras (talk) 18:19, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Let's keep our personal opinions of his appearance out of this. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:36, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

What are you talking about? All editing involves making evaluations of what material is most appropriate. Not that we ourselves would hold such opinions, but amongst our readers there are certainly at least a few who subscribe to the adage that, "Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone" (i.e. external ugliness may reflect a hateful personality and twisted, poisonous character, perhaps because of self-loathing). Examples of this alleged correlation are thick on the ground in popular culture, for example:

I'm sure you'll agree it's incumbent on us to avoid feeding into such prejudice by presenting a severely unflattering portrait of the subject, if other images are available that are less suggestive of inner ugliness. The question, as posed in my original post, is whether or not such images exist. EEng 21:07, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

• I think the photo there now is the best we have in commons right now. Iamreallygoodatcheckers 00:01, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Typo

Sorry, I don't know the correct way to address this with a locked article. There is a simple typo to be corrected in the Personal Life section: "In an article in The New York Times, Piccard stated her absence was due to threats made **sgainst** her by Bannon and his lawyer:" 12.222.192.42 (talk) 16:08, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I fixed it. In the future, you can use the {{Edit requested}} template with your request to get someone's attention in case a passerby like me doesn't see it quickly. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:12, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

these referenced articles are the same, with different titles. Is there a way to note that a referenced article has two titles?Scranton (talk) 17:40, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
