==White House petition==
I cannot add these important new developments to the article, since it's protected. Can someone assist?
The petition has reached the threshold for White House response, calling on the DOJ to declare Soros a terrorist and seize all of his related organizations' assets under RICO and NDAA law.
Here is the content of the petition that can be added to the article.
:''Whereas George Soros has willfully and on an ongoing basis attempted to destabilize and otherwise commit acts of sedition against the United States and its citizens, has created and funded dozens (and probably hundreds) of discrete organizations whose sole purpose is to apply Alinsky model terrorist tactics to facilitate the collapse of the systems and Constitutional government of the United State, and has developed unhealthy and undue influence over the entire Democrat Party and a large portion of the US Federal government, the DOJ should immediately declare George Soros and all of his organizations and staff members to be domestic terrorists, and have all of his personal an organizational wealth and assets seized under Civil Asset Forfeiture law.''

Edit request for buzzword removal or rewording
This edit request to George_Soros has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
In the second on his views on anti-Semitism and Israel: "He has funded NGOs which some commentators describe as anti-Israel groups."
The phrase "anti-Israel" is a very subjective one, and this sentence as is contradicts other points in the paragraph without any substantiation. Its cited sources are biased/opinionated sources, none of which have any authority in definitively defining who is "anti-Israel" and who is not.
I propose, then, that this sentence either be removed, or reworded with specifics, such as "He has funded NGOs such as <list of groups and links to their[REDACTED] pages>, which have been actively critical of Israeli policies."
I have edited the entry and added the information which I believe is important about the Macedonian issue, but my edit got reverted and suggested to first do this on the talk page.
So here I am. I think most of the resources I suggested are quite reliable and I do believe this issue is important. I would be happy to hear why my edit wasn't good enough.
It was sourced to rt.com, primary sources and blog postings. That's not good enough. Primary sources and rt.com are okay for uncontested statements of fact, but I wouldn't use them for anything controversial, and your edit was about a controversy. Using blogs as sources is just a huge no-no. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it.22:59, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. I researched more and found a "real" source. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/15/gop-senators-ask-tillerson-to-probe-us-funding-soros-groups-abroad.html. On another note, it's not really controversial subject, as the information I'm trying to add is just pointing at a fact (checking if tax payers money went to support groups that are related to Soros. I'm not even writing about if it's right or wrong. I do believe that in this objective platform, all the information should be presented so, god forbid, people won't think that someone here is operating this entry out of PR motives. I want to enter this information with this news-worthy source. Chrislifeisawesome (talk) 04:45, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi. As the editor who reverted your original edit, I'm okay with adding that controversy based on the foxnews source (is there a better source out there? Fox's reputation isn't exactly the best), although I'll rather wait and see what other editors think. Also, since this content seems to be specifically about criticism of the Open Society Foundations, perhaps it would be more appropriate to add this to the Open Society Foundations article instead? Bennv3771 (talk) 06:16, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
I agree that Fox News isn't the best, but for something like this I think it's good enough. They are a mainstream media outlet with editorial oversight and a reputation for fact-checking. The fact that they put a political spin on everything and make corrections reluctantly and don't draw attention to them doesn't really matter, because us Wikipedians can deal with both of those problems by simply being good at what we do. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it.00:30, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on 27 July 2017
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
If someone could have the patience to use proper grammar when referring to anything Soros possesses, that would be exemplary.
That's actually not true. For proper nouns "s's" is the correct version (there are some exceptions but this isn't one of them). This is also why the top sources spell it that way.Volunteer Marek (talk) 06:00, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
I just watched George Soros appearing in 60 Minutes (1998) replying to Steve Kroft that he doesn't believe in God. Kroft went on to say that "Soros told us he believes God was created by man and not the other way around; which may be why he thinks he can smooth out the world’s imperfections".
