250k Donated to Newsom Recall.

[edit]

Could you add 250k donated to stop Gavin Newsom Recall in 2021. https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/07/newsom-recall-million-dollar-donors/

Adding "political donor" to the lead paragraph

[edit]

Due to Mr Soro's large and consistent donations to political organisations and figures, surely it would make sense to add Political donor to the opening of the lead paragraph. Interested to here the thoughts about this from other users. Basedosaurus (talk) 00:44, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes to this. And actually it should say "political activist", as Mr. Soros has used his funds extensively to fund political actions and activities that he supports. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StorG (talkcontribs) 04:27, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I don't think the term "philanthropist" is accurate. A more accurate and neutral term would be Ideologue. It was revealed today* that he is a major funder of the far-right, AfD-aligned magazine, Compact. While Soros does engage in some traditional philanthropic activities, a majority of his efforts apear be directed towards influencing public opinion and political discourse. Typically this is referred to as "influence broker" which implies a heavy finance aspect. *https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/progressive-mega-donor-funding-right-wing-ideas --72.72.142.125 (talk) 19:30, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

False information regarding country name

[edit]

In the article, at the subection "Central and Eastern Europe" of the section https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/George_Soros#Political_involvement there is, at points, constant mention of a country called "Macedonia". Northern Macedonia is the recognized international name of the referenced country and that should be reflected in a respectable source like wikipeda. An edit request should be put forward and a change should be made to the article, substituting "Macedonia" with "Northern Macedonia" at all instances of this country's name. 155.207.84.157 (talk) 10:36, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there no neutral (i.e non-self-reference) for his alleged contribution to charity???

[edit]

The only ref provided for his alleged "donation" to charity of usd 32b is the "open society" which was founded and run by him amd his family. Is there not a single neutral reference to support that claim??? How can we state it like a fact and support the same with ONE citation which almost reads like "I (as in soros) say so"??? 117.194.192.180 (talk) 19:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
