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
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.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Jeffrey Epstein was copied or moved into Lolita Express with this edit on 13:16, 21 July 2025. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.
Original police report was claimed to be 30 people, not 5, not 34, not 36
I have just read this article on his profile, and after all the court publications from the Eileen Maxwell trial,
Also watching Michael wolves videos on this subject matter, especially the missing prison video footage and the money, laundering implications that Epstein had on Mr Chump
So how come we do not have an article about the Epstein list? It is one of the hottest topics in the US media, and has been for years, yet Wikipedia has nothing. Obviously it should name people, but having no article about it is rather odd. I doubt that nobody has thought of creating it, so what am I missing? Surtsicna (talk) 21:07, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a broader article about the whole Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal? If not, I suggest creating one instead of all these multiple smaller articles. Some1 (talk) 14:41, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, I think that would be sensible to keep stuff structured sensibly.
Maybe a split can be proposed? I think the scandal itself is wider than himself and should warrant its own article. Syn73 (talk) 02:58, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For the caption on the CCTV footage, I believe this quote should be changed from "CCTV footage released in July 2025 showing the outside of Epstein's cell" to "CCTV footage released in July 2025 showing Epstein's cell block." The footage itself does not actually show Epstein's cell. Sosumiw (talk) 21:34, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The current caption is indeed wrong, but it does not show Epstein's cell block either. The area of interest is the upper left quarter of the frame - the "white" area - which is part of a common area across which Epstein walks near the start of the video. The doors are a different block of cells from that containing Espstein's.
There was a section previously that linked Epstein with Israel and Mossad. This is a case similar to blood libel and has no place in Wikipedia. Azuizo (talk) 19:10, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Jeffrey was the older of the two; he and his brother Mark grew up in the working-class neighborhood of Sea Gate, a private gated community in Coney Island, Brooklyn. 134.255.241.130 (talk) 07:29, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why aren't the close relationships with Bill and Hillary Clinton noted? Would that be because your political beliefs won't allow it? 203.30.4.27 (talk) 04:32, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the Banking section:
"Even though Epstein departed abruptly, he remained close to Cayne and Greenberg and was a client of Bear Stearns until its collapse in 2008."
The link for "its collapse in 2008" should be changed.

The mention of Mette-Marit should be removed from the lead on WP:UNDUE grounds, as has similarly been discussed on her own article. It does not seem right to me at all to list her alongside the likes of Trump, Clinton and Prince Andrew. The controversy from her meetings is nowhere near the scale of the other three cases. For what it's worth, the sentence mentioning these friendships was added recently. 80.189.57.169 (talk) 23:21, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
level-5 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
