Hi, I have a declared conflict of interest with this topic. Since the merge of Blancco Ltd. into Blancco Technology Group, the article text no longer reflects the neutral, referenced draft that had previously been proposed here: User:Fairweather12/sandbox - Wikipedia. The content of the new page (e.g., stating that Blancco is a British company) is also not accurate.
I would appreciate it if an uninvolved editor could review that sandbox draft and update the article accordingly. There were no objections or negative feedback on the draft over the past several weeks.
Thank you! ~~~~ Fairweather12 (talk) 10:35, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
- Removes all mentions of Regeneris alongside a number of good citations.
- Relies too heavily on non-reliable primary sources.
- Is promotional in tone. Encoded Talk 💬 18:24, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hi there, thanks for taking a look. I've reedited again to strip out any promotion and readded in the Regeneris history and some of those citations. hoping you can take a look again. Thanks! Fairweather12 (talk) 12:55, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
Not done The certifications section is too promotional and non-encyclopedic, per WP:NOTDIR. For certifications to be considered notable, we'd need someone writing about the company achieving the certifications. The HQ and product line need to be independently sourced. While there's usually no argument that a headquarters is where a company says it is, it's good practice to ensure that everything is backed up. If product info can't be sourced, that's an argument for saying it's not notable enough to be in an encyclopedia. Locations are easier. To get around independent sourcing shortfalls, I've just been suggesting we write "The company lists offices in ...", and for that we can use an about us or contact us page. STEMinfo (talk) 19:49, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, really appreciate the feedback, thanks. I've added more context about the locations and removed the certs and product sections. Please may you review? Thanks!

Edit request: update genre, member name spelling, and add missing 2021-2025 releases
edit| The user below has a request that an edit be made to Bloom Twins. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 533 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
Note: I am the band's management (Lcuk Artists) and have a declared conflict of interest (see my user page). I am not editing the article directly and am requesting the following changes be reviewed and implemented by an independent editor.
1. Infobox — Genre: Update "Genres" from "Dark pop" to "Dark pop, electronic". Sources: Armada Music Publishing's own artist page describes them as fusing "dark-pop sensibilities with electronic and alternative influences"; Beatportal and EKM.CO (June 2025) describe them as a "dance-pop duo." No independent source found drops "dark pop" entirely, so this broadens the field rather than replacing it.
2. Infobox — Member name: Update "Sonya Kuprienko" to "Sofiia Kupriienko". Most existing citations in the article use "Sonia"/"Sonya" Kuprienko. This spelling appears in recent official release metadata, e.g. Freegal Music's catalogue credit for "Alive" (Damian Lazarus feat. Bloom Twins), sourced from the official release. Flagging the discrepancy with older sources for awareness.
3. New content (2021-2025): The article hasn't been updated since "DayDream" (2021). Proposed addition to the Career section, with sourcing for each release: "High On Beat" with Jan Blomqvist (June 2021, first Armada Music release); "Opposite of Crazy" on Purple Disco Machine's Exotica (Oct 2021); "Drunk & Loud" (Aug 2023) and "Beats Not Bombs" (Sept 2023, with War Child); EP Transformer (June 2024); Armada Music Publishing signing (2025); "Alive" with Damian Lazarus (April 2025); "Mama Maria" with Reinier Zonneveld (June 2025); "Cross the Border" with Klangkarussell (Oct 2025). Full source list with links available on request, happy to paste it inline if preferred.
Thank you for reviewing. Lenka at Lcuk Artists (talk) 17:27, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

- 3. New section, to be added after "==Night for Ukraine benefit==" and before "==Discography==":
- ==Later releases (2021–2025)==
- In June 2021, Bloom Twins released "High On Beat" with Berlin-based producer Jan Blomqvist, their first release on Armada Music.[1][2][3] The same year, they featured on "Opposite of Crazy" from Purple Disco Machine's album Exotica.[4][5] In 2023 they released two singles addressing the war in Ukraine, "Drunk & Loud" (10 August) and "Beats Not Bombs" (21 September), the latter released in partnership with the charity War Child.[6][7][8][9][10][11] Both tracks, along with four others, were compiled on the EP Transformer, released 14 June 2024.[12][13] In 2025, Bloom Twins signed a publishing deal with Armada Music Publishing[14][15][16] and released further collaborations with electronic producers Damian Lazarus ("Alive," April 2025),[17][18] Reinier Zonneveld ("Mama Maria," June 2025),[19][20] and Klangkarussell ("Cross the Border," October 2025).[21][22]

- 5. Extended plays table: add one row after "Winter's Tales": Transformer, Released: 14 June 2024; Label: Armada Music; Formats: Digital download.
- Let me know if anything still needs more sourcing. Lenka at Lcuk Artists (talk) 20:52, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

I would like to request the addition of a new section, focused on the firm’s leadership. The information and sources are below, along with suggested text. Please feel free to edit as needed to meet Wikipedia’s standards.
Leadership
Since the establishment of Bodman’s Chair of the Executive Committee position in 1975, four individuals have served in the role. Richard Rohr was the first to hold the position, serving for nearly 25 years. He was succeeded by Larry Shulman[1], who served until 2009, when Ralph McDowell assumed the role. McDowell served until 2018, after which Shulman returned as Chair[2]. In 2020, Carrie Leahy succeeded Shulman as Chair of the Executive Committee[3].

Requested maintenance updates: ownership wording, product naming, logo, and unsourced operations claims
edit| The user below has a request that an edit be made to Boldon James. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Summary of request: Update parent-company and product naming, address the outdated logo, and trim unsourced operations claims The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 533 requests waiting for review.Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
Hello, I have a conflict of interest with respect to this article and associated topics (declared on my user page: Fortra, Boldon James, and Vera Security). These are limited maintenance requests aimed at accuracy and sourcing.
1. Ownership wording in lead, and current product name
editIn the lead, please update the sentence about the 2020 acquisition to reflect the later rebrand:
| − | The company was acquired in June 2020 by | + | The company was acquired in June 2020 by [[Minneapolis]]-based software developer HelpSystems, which rebranded as Fortra in 2022. |
In the Products section, please add the following sentence at the end, to reflect the current product name:
- Boldon James' data-classification software is now marketed by Fortra as Fortra Classifier Suite.[23]
Reason: The lead correctly notes the 2020 HelpSystems acquisition but not the subsequent HelpSystems-to-Fortra rebrand. The Products section describes the product range only in legacy terms and does not mention the current Fortra product name. This is a narrow update: it keeps the article's existing history framing while making current parent-company and product naming clearer and sourced.
2. Outdated logo
editThe infobox/lead area currently shows File:Boldon James - A HelpSystems Company Logo.png, captioned "Boldon James - A HelpSystems Company Logo". That branding predates the 2022 rebrand and is no longer current. Please remove it, or replace it with a current logo if a suitably licensed one is available.
Reason: The image preserves outdated parent-company ("A HelpSystems Company") branding that no longer reflects the subject.
3. Operations section (unsourced)
editPlease remove the Operations section in its entirety:
Boldon James Holdings Ltd is registered in Farnborough, Hampshire, whilst Boldon James' development office is in Crewe. The company has 85 employees, 70% of which are technical staff, and has clients including Financial Services Organisations such as Prudential and Allianz, the UK and German Ministries of Defence, and defence contractors such as Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, amongst others.
Reason: This section is legacy company-profile material that is unsourced; the employee-count and client-list claims have carried a {{Citation needed}} tag since December 2019, and I was unable to locate reliable independent sourcing to retain them. Per WP:V, unsourced content may be removed, and I think removal is cleaner here than leaving long-tagged claims in place. (Additionally, and secondarily, the registered-office wording appears stale: the company's current registered office is in Altrincham rather than Farnborough. I raise this only to note the section is likely outdated as well as unsourced; the sourcing gap is the primary basis for removal.)
Thank you for considering these limited requests. Mrmctorso (talk) 20:59, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Edit request: factual review of headquarters and partnership wording
edit| The user below has a request that an edit be made to Boomerang Bet. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 533 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
Hello. I have a disclosed conflict of interest regarding this article, so I am not editing the article directly. I would appreciate it if an independent editor could review a few factual points and make any changes they consider appropriate under Wikipedia’s policies.
I would like to kindly ask for a review of the following:
1. Headquarters information
The article currently states that Boomerang Bet is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, and the infobox also lists:
“Headquarters: Limassol, Cyprus”
Could this please be reviewed and removed if there is no reliable public source supporting it?
My concern is that this information may be inaccurate or unsupported, and I would prefer the article not to include unsourced corporate-location details.
2. AC Milan partnership wording
The article currently says:
“In July 2024, Boomerang Bet became the official regional betting partner of AC Milan in Europe.”
Would it be possible to adjust this wording to more closely reflect AC Milan’s official announcement? A more neutral version could be:
“In July 2024, AC Milan announced a regional partnership with Boomerang, naming Boomerang its Official Regional Betting Partner in Europe.”
This wording seems more precise because the official announcement refers to Boomerang as the partner.
3. Alisha Lehmann wording
The article currently says:
“In August 2024, football player Alisha Lehmann became a brand ambassador for Boomerang Bet.”
Could this sentence please be reviewed as well? The current wording may give readers the impression that this is an ongoing ambassador relationship. If the information is kept, perhaps it could be worded as a past, dated partnership and supported by reliable sources. If that is not appropriate, removal may be preferable.
Thank you very much for reviewing this request. I understand that independent editors will decide what, if anything, should be changed in accordance with Wikipedia’s policies.Rita Youper (talk) 22:39, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

edit- By their very nature, awards can be subjective, in that they represent a very specific point of view — that of the individual or organization which determines who wins the award, and why. To counter this, a good practice is to limit the listing of awards to only those which are independently notable in Wikipedia. The ALM Best Firms to Work For Award does not appear to meet this definition.

Are Wikipedia editors able to update the infobox?
edit| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I'm Ross Penkala and I handle digital content strategy and discoverability for Boston Consulting Group. I'll be the point person for BCG's Wikipedia engagement, and I've reviewed the relevant conflict-of-interest guidelines.
I'm hoping that editors watching this page will update the infobox with BCG's most recent employee figures. This Bloomberg article from April 2025 references our most recent headcount of 33,000. I'm not sure where the 36,000 figure that's currently in the infobox comes from, as the cited source is not a website I'm familiar with. RSP at BCG (talk) 20:43, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
Done. Thanks for the request. I could not access the Bloomberg article on account of the paywall, but the "About us" section on your website already cited is acceptable for this statement of basic fact, so I just used that. MediaKyle (talk) 20:49, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- Great. Thanks for your help here, MediaKyle. Really appreciate it. RSP at BCG (talk) 12:58, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
Adding further details about BCG's early history
edit| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi there, Ross Penkala from BCG again. I know that Wikipedia articles are always "under construction," but right now the History section feels underdeveloped. The limited content (~260 words) comes across as a loose collection of claims about the firm rather than an encyclopedic accounting of its origin and growth. Nearly a third of the section is about Bill Bain, which feels disproportionate. And the sourcing seems substandard (e.g. I'm not sure why a Wine Festival listing is being cited when there are better sources out there confirming the same information, and at least one of the provided links doesn't even work).
I've been working on an updated draft version of the entire History section, but I thought I would start by putting forward an attempt to capture the firm's early history:
Early history draft |
|---|
|
Bruce Henderson founded the Boston Consulting Group in 1963 as part of the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company. [1][2] Henderson had been recruited from Arthur D. Little to establish the consulting arm as a department within the bank.[3] Initially, the department only advised clients of the bank.[4] Henderson hired his first full-time consultant, Arthur P. Contas, in December 1963.[5] In 1966, Henderson developed the concept of the experience curve, arguing that unit costs decline predictably with production experience.[6][7] The experience curve effect was quickly adopted in corporate strategy.[8] In 1966, the consulting unit opened a second office in Tokyo, Japan, led by James Abegglen.[9][10] In 1968, the division had grown to 36 employees and was formally named the Boston Consulting Group.[11][12] In the 1970s, Henderson arranged an employee stock ownership plan so that BCG could operate independently. The buyout of all shares was completed in 1979.[13] In 1967, Henderson offered Bill Bain a consulting role. Bain agreed and joined in 1967 at a starting salary of $17,000 per year (equivalent to $164,000 in 2025).[14] He thrived at the job and soon rose to the rank of group vice president.[15] In the early 1970s, Bain was considered internally to be Henderson's eventual successor.[15] However, in 1973 Bain resigned from BCG to start his own strategy consulting firm, Bain & Company.[15] In 1968, BCG hired Sandra Ohrn Moose, the firm's first female consultant.[16] In 1970, BCG consultant Alan Zakon created the growth-share matrix, a chart to help large corporations decide how to allocate cash among their business units.[17][18] Bruce Henderson further developed the concept, and it was soon widely disseminated among senior managers and executives.[19] References
|
As you can see, the draft above cites a lot of academic textbooks, and the claims I included are the same ones you would expect to see in an academic-style capsule history or a newspaper profile (I also cite the New York Times and Los Angeles Times). I briefly introduce the experience curve and growth-share matrix, because those are obviously important business concepts and their widespread adoption helped establish BCG and drive growth (as documented in contemporaneous NYT reporting and academic treatments). I kept all the material about Bill Bane (with only slightly rewording) but improved the sourcing. And I added a mention about Sandra Ohrn Moose since she's notable enough to have her own Wiki entry.
Throughout the draft, I provided quotes in the citations so that it would be easy for anyone reviewing this request to confirm accuracy. If these quotes seem excessive they can probably be trimmed.
I appreciate the collaborative nature of Wikipedia content creation and would welcome any and all feedback. As always, THANK YOU! RSP at BCG (talk) 23:49, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
- This is an exceptionally well-done edit request, I hope they're paying you more than they paid Right Angles. Seriously, you should offer a course on the side. Give me some time to chew on all of this and I'll see what I can do for you. MediaKyle (talk) 00:02, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
Done. I found no issues with your request, and implemented it mostly as written. I did re-arrange it a bit and make some formatting adjustments. This was a big improvement. All the best, MediaKyle (talk) 00:51, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
- Many thanks again, MediaKyle! Truly appreciate the quick response and thorough review. Like I said above, I'm trying my hand at an updated draft of the entire History section, and I hope to have another few paragraphs ready for review soon. RSP at BCG (talk) 16:05, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
Another request about expanding the History section
edit| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Ross Penkala from BCG here again. I have another request for editors to consider. I've put together a draft that covers BCG's history from roughly 1974 to 2000. This was a period of significant growth and expansion, not just for BCG but for the business consulting field more broadly (as described in books like The Lords of Strategy). BCG opened its second U.S. office in 1974 and a Munich office a year later. Further expansion continued, and the firm grew from 277 consultants to 1,000 plus with a sizable presence across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Right now the History section contains two sentences about this period, both about time-based competition—an important concept, for sure, but not the only important development during a ~25-year stretch of growth.
I think this period deserves a more thorough treatment, not just because there's relevant information "out there" that we can include, but because these developments are all notable and contribute to an encyclopedic treatment of the topic. The second sentence of the article introduction notes that BCG "is one of the 'Big Three' [...] along with McKinsey & Company and Bain & Company." The details in the draft I've prepared explain how and why BCG achieved this status as American-based business consulting firms expanded across the globe. I don't reference every new office opening, acquisition, service announcement, et cetera—just enough to provide a high-level summary that contextualizes "growth."
Growth and international expansion |
|---|
|
In 1974, BCG opened its second U.S. office in Menlo Park, California.[1][2] A year later, BCG opened an office in Munich.[3] John Clarkeson led this European expansion.[3] By the end of 1977, BCG's revenues were evenly split between business originating in the U.S. and overseas.[4] BCG soon opened another U.S. office in Chicago and by the end of the decade the firm employed 277 consultants.[4] In 1980, Alan Zakon succeeded Bruce Henderson as CEO.[5] Henderson assumed the chairmanship of the board for five years until he retired from BCG and became a management professor at Vanderbilt University.[5][6] During this period the firm opened offices in Los Angeles, Düsseldorf, New York, and San Francisco.[7] John Clarkeson became CEO in 1985,[8] and the firm continued to expand across Europe.[7] In 1988, a Harvard Business Review essay by BCG consultant George Stalk Jr. introduced the concept of time-based competition that reconsidered the role of time management in providing market advantages.[9][10] Stalk Jr. and another BCG consultant, Thomas Hout, further developed the idea in a 1990 book.[11][12] In 1990, BCG acquired the Australian consulting firm of Pappas, Carter, Evans & Koop and its offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland.[13][14] More acquisitions and international expansion followed,[15] In 1993, BCG employed around 1,000 consultants.[15] leading to new offices across Europe,[16] Asia,[12] and North America.[17] Carl Stern replaced John Clarkeson as BCG's CEO in 1998.[18] That same year, Bolko von Oetinger, a senior partner at BCG’s Munich office, founded the Strategy Institute, an independent research unit.[19][20] References
|
The draft above cites some of the same sources I used for the early history passages, but I also pulled from the aforementioned Lords of Strategy book by Walter Kiechel and Defining Management (which offers a European perspective). I reworded the two sentences about time-based competition and added better sourcing. And I once again provided quotes in the citations so that anyone reviewing this request can easily confirm accuracy. (I know that when I'm conducting research, I always appreciate being able to quickly find the referenced passage.)
I tried to link to the German Wikipedia entry for Bolko von Oetinger, but I'm not sure I did it right. Is it supposed to look like that? Honestly, any tips about formatting would be welcome. I feel like I'm getting the hang of this but I'm sure there are things I could be doing better. RSP at BCG (talk) 13:22, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
Done: Everything checks out here, and I added your text mostly as written. I tried to break up the section a bit with subheaders, but the final paragraph doesn't really fit in there -- if you want to adjust the headers, go ahead. You did the interlanguage link correctly by the way, that's what it's supposed to look like. I'll see what I can do with your other request now. MediaKyle (talk) 00:28, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
New request: Add an Operations section
edit| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Ross Penkala from BCG here again. I have another request for editors to consider: Could a brief Operations section be added to the article? Other articles about management consulting firms have sections like this (see: McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, Deloitte, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, IMRB International, Capgemini, et cetera) that provide an encyclopedic summary of core operational details. For comparison, right now there's no content in this article describing what the Boston Consulting Group actually does (i.e., the services it provides and the sectors it operates in) and where and how it operates.
I put together a seven-sentence Operations section draft below that could follow the History section.
Operations section |
|---|
|
Boston Consulting Group is a management consulting firm headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.[1] BCG operates from more than 100 offices in over 50 countries.[2] Its core business is management consulting across sectors.[3][4] The firm's BCG X unit provides AI, IT architecture, and software-build services.[5][6] The BCG Henderson Institute is an internal think tank researching business strategy and organization.[7] The firm is led by CEO Christoph Schweizer, BCG’s seventh chief executive.[8][9] Governance rests with more than 2,000 managing directors and partners who elect the CEO and sit on leadership bodies.[10] As of 2026, the firm had around 33,500 employees worldwide.[11] References

IMO, it would make sense for this content to come immediately before the Projects section, which provides specific examples of BCG's work. (It would also be nice if editors could find at least a few less controversial examples to highlight, but I understand these projects have attracted substantial media attention.)
Please let me know what you think. RSP at BCG (talk) 20:31, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Done: Looks good, I made a few changes to the references and some copyedits but nothing major. Thanks for the requests. I have a couple of suggestions for you:
- The "See also" section contains two links, and their relevance is uncertain until you visit the articles. If possible, it would be ideal to somehow include these topics in the body of the article so we can get rid of the "See also" section.
- The "Recent history" subheader is quite barren. What else has BCG been up to lately that received significant coverage?
- More photos! You work for the company, so you can probably make something happen. WP:PICYOU is a guide meant for biographies but the same principles will apply here. If you want to see about releasing some photographs, I'll try to work them into the article.
- Somewhere in the body of the article it should explain how BCG is part of the "Big Three", and how it compares to the others. This is currently only addressed in the lead, and the lead should be a summary of the body.
- Let me know if you have any questions. You're doing a great job, and I appreciate your transparency, so I'm happy to keep working with you. Thank you for your patience, you'll have to forgive me for not being super excited about management consulting ;-) ... Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 12:57, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Ross from BCG here again.
I have another request for editors to consider, this time covering "recent history"—meaning everything from ~2000 to the present. Once again, I've focused on major developments that were significant enough to generate news coverage, not just press releases. Whenever possible, I've also tried to draw from the cited sources to contextualize why these developments are historically or operationally relevant—e.g, noting that Hans-Paul Bürkner was the first European to lead BCG when he was promoted to chief executive in 2003, and that the consolidation of tech divisions into BCG X in 2022 reflected the growth of IT consulting as a revenue driver. I also added in brief mentions of DICE framework and B Capital, per feedback from MediaKyle on my last request. These topics are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia entries, and it thus makes sense (to me, at least) that they should be introduced within the body of the article. I found two journal articles that discussed DICE at length. And I used staff writer-authored TechCrunch and Forbes articles to support the B Capital sentence.
Recent history |
|---|
|
In 2003, Hans-Paul Bürkner was elected president and chief executive of BCG.[1] Bürkner became the first European to lead the firm, which at that time had around 2,600 consultants worldwide.[1] In 2005, three BCG partners, Perry Keenan, Kathleen Conlon, and Alan Jackson, published a Harvard Business Review article outlining their DICE framework, a formulation they'd first developed in the 1990s that assessed the likelihood of project success based on objective measures.[2][3][4] The DICE framework was awarded a patent nine years later.[2] In 2013, Rich Lesser succeeded Bürkner as president and chief executive.[5] During Lesser's tenure, BCG more than doubled in size to over 22,000 employees and tripled in revenue, primarily driven by its expansion into digital analytics and other new service offerings.[6] In 2015, BCG began investing in its artificial intelligence business division.[7] In 2017, BCG relocated its New York office to Hudson Yards.[8] In 2015, BCG launched the BCG Henderson Institute in honor of founder Bruce Henderson.[9] That same year, BCG supported the launch of B Capital, a venture capital firm founded by Eduardo Saverin and Raj Ganguly.[10][11] In May 2021, the firm elected Christoph Schweizer as CEO, replacing Rich Lesser.[12] In September 2022, BCG reached a deal to acquire Quantis, an environmental consultancy group.[13][14] Under the deal, Quantis would retain its brand and operate as a standalone business unit within BCG.[13][15] In December 2022, the firm consolidated its technology divisions into a single unit, BCG X.[16] By 2024, BCG X had around 3,000 employees and nearly 20 percent of BCG's revenue was driven by IT consulting.[17] References

There were certainly more items I could have included in the draft above, but I erred on the side of brevity. Please let me know what you think. Thank you! RSP at BCG (talk) 16:05, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
Proposed Updates

Hi all, I work at Bracebridge Capital and wanted to flag a few factual inaccuracies in the article.
- The AUM should be updated in the infobox and lead to $12B.[1]
- In the infobox, Kristan Barnett, Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine, and Wendy Sheu, are no longer with the firm. I suggest updating the “Key people” to John Spinney (Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer), Danforth Townley (General Counsel), and Scott Kudlacik (Chief Compliance Officer). Spinney’s title should be updated to add CFO in the infobox and the second paragraph of the “History” section.[2]
- In the lead, Gabriel Sunshine’s stake in the company is misleading, as the source cited is inaccurate. I could not find a good source for this information, so I recommend removing the sentence: “Sunshine owns a 5% stake in Bracebridge as of 2017.”
I also recommend adding the following to the end of the “History" section:
- In 2025, Zimmerman spoke at the 2025 Sohn Montreal Conference about resilient market neutral strategies and the firm's portfolio construction.[3]

- Hello, Brian. Thank you for the message on my talk page, informing me of your request. Thank you for providing full details here. I see that you are new to Wikipedia as a paid or COI editor, and as an editor in general. You did everything correctly! I will have a look at the changes you requested, implement them, and/or make inquiries for further details here as needed. I will likely have time this weekend, so check back then please.--FeralOink (talk) 19:36, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
- Hi FeralOink, thank you so much for your willingness to help. Let me know if you have any questions. Brian.rabe (talk) 18:47, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
COI Edit Request: Add United States expansion history to Expansion section
edit| The user below has a request that an edit be made to Brahma Kumaris. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 533 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
Note: I am disclosing that I have a conflict of interest regarding this page because I serve as an administrator for a Brahma Kumaris entity in the United States.
I am requesting a neutral editor to add information regarding the organization's initial expansion into the United States, which is currently omitted from the "Expansion" section. Adding this documented fact will ensure the page's history is more complete and help prevent the spread of inaccurate historical timelines online.
- Information to be changed: Add a new subsection or paragraph regarding United States expansion under the "Expansion" section.
- Proposed Text to Add:
The organization expanded its presence to the United States in 1976. Following an initial public lecture series in San Antonio, Texas, in January 1976,[1] the first official Raja Yoga Center in the U.S. was established in San Antonio in December 1976 by early practitioners including Sister Denise and Brahma Kumari Chandru.[2] The Brahma Kumaris was subsequently legally incorporated as a Texas nonprofit organization in August 1977.[3]
- Existing text to remove: None (this is a new addition).
Thank you to a neutral editor for reviewing and incorporating this historical milestone.

Proposed addition to Other sources / External links
edit| The user below has a request that an edit be made to Bremelanotide. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 533 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
Could an uninvolved editor please review whether the following link would be appropriate for an “Other sources” or “External links” section in this article, if such a section is considered suitable under WP:EL and WP:ELNO?
Proposed link:
- Peptides.io PT-141 guide – plain-language overview of PT-141/bremelanotide, including general background, mechanism, FDA-approved use context, off-label-use disclaimer, and safety notes
I am asking here rather than adding it directly because bremelanotide is a medical/pharmacology topic, and I want to avoid adding anything that editors may consider promotional, non-neutral, or unsuitable as an external link. If editors feel this link is not appropriate for the article, I am fine with leaving it out.
For transparency, I am connected to Peptides.io, so I am requesting review by uninvolved editors rather than making the article edit myself, in line with WP:COI.

Edit request — Correction to BroadwayWorld Awards wording
editHello,
I would like to request a clarification in the Awards and nominations section. The current wording references being part of a “winning cast,” but the available BroadwayWorld listings now reflect nomination status only.
I propose revising the entry to read:
2023 BroadwayWorld Salt Lake City Awards – Nominated for Best Performer in a Musical for his role as Sebastian in The Little Mermaid.
I am disclosing a conflict of interest and will not make the change directly. Thank you for your review.
