Me too. Is there some possibility of putting up a warning notice, either above or within the article? The trasncript of the email I received can be found below:--Flubberty (talk) 23:24, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Kindly Confirm ownership of your E-mail by contacting Sigrid Rausing via email for claim. You can also read more about Sigrid Rausing via the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigrid_Rausing

I put a warning in the article. I don't know if this is the right thing to do, advice appreciated. Keith Henson (talk) 05:01, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Warning was reverted without comment. I asked on his talk page and got "Can't think of a way to "warn" prospective readers without bringing undue attention to the message. I don't think it's our responsibility anyway. -KH-1" This kind of abuse of people and Wikipedia probably needs attention at the policy level. Not sure how to get this considered. KH-1 may be correct in that there isn't any solution. Keith Henson (talk) 16:02, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

This article needs a few sentences to explain where her philanthrophy comes from (see Hans Rausing). Gordon Meadows (talk) 11:18, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
