L. Randall Wray

COI edit request: Legal issues section

Paid/COI disclosure: I am an employee of Levy Institute. The article subject has not personally asked me to submit this edit request.

Requested edit: Please remove the entire one-sentence section titled “Legal issues,” added in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=L._Randall_Wray&diff=prev&oldid=1353669419

The material concerns a charge rather than a conviction and currently relies on a single local-news article. I have not found multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the incident. Please review the material under WP:BLPCRIME, WP:BLPPUBLIC, WP:BLPSTYLE, and WP:BLPBALANCE, including whether a standalone section gives disproportionate weight to a recent event.

Thank you. RiverMaple47 (talk) 19:52, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Intelligent agent

Proposal: add book to Further reading section

Conflict of interest disclosure: I am the author of the book referenced below. Per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, I am proposing this change here rather than editing the article directly. Proposed addition: I'd like to suggest adding the following to the "Further reading" section: * Nagasubramanian, Dhivya. Agentic AI for Engineers. Apress/Springer, 2026. ISBN 979-8-8688-2360-2. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/979-8-8688-2361-9 Why this is relevant: The book covers [topic — e.g., "agentic AI system design, intelligent agents,percieve-reason-act loop, safety, and enterprise deployment patterns"], which falls within the scope of this article. Independent evidence of notability/relevance: ["The book has been adopted in to 266 libraries across the country https://search.worldcat.org/title/1584648098 " I'd appreciate any feedback from editors on whether this addition is appropriate. Happy to adjust the citation format or wording as needed. Rine7986 (talk) 02:43, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Timothy W. Bickmore

Edit request: Orphan, paid-contributions, and résumé tags

Conflict-of-interest disclosure: I am Timothy Bickmore, the subject of this article. Per WP:COI I am not editing it directly and am requesting that uninvolved editors review the points below. My aim is only to help resolve the three maintenance tags, not to add promotional content.

To my knowledge, I have not commissioned or paid anyone to create or edit this article, and I welcome review and cleanup by independent editors.

1. Orphan. The page could be linked from related articles such as Embodied agent, Conversational agent, Affective computing, Rosalind Picard and Justine Cassell (my doctoral advisors), where a mention would be contextually appropriate.

2. Résumé tone and neutrality (paid-contributions tag). The biography currently reads as a chronological CV and relies heavily on my CV and Northeastern pages, which are not independent of me. I'd suggest rewriting in encyclopedic prose centered on independently-reported work, using sources already available:

• "An A.I. designed to guide humans through the end of life is already among us". CNBC. 2017-11-13.
• "Virtual Nurse Helps Patients Understand Discharge Information". HealthLeaders Media.
• "Q&A: Northeastern's Timothy Bickmore on the clinical future of relational agents". Healthcare IT News. 2012-09-17.
• "Mentioning what is hard to mention in chatbot for end-of-life preparation". Tech Xplore. 2017-09-24.

Primary documents (CV, faculty page) could be retained only for routine, non-contentious facts (degrees, dates) per WP:ABOUTSELF, rather than as the backbone of the article.

3. Independent evidence of scholarly impact. The strongest independent indicator of significance here is citation impact, relevant to WP:NPROF criterion 1. Editors may wish to source and, where appropriate, cite:

• The Stanford/Elsevier "top 2% most-cited scientists" ranking (Ioannidis et al. composite citation database), currently listed in the infobox without a citation — the underlying dataset is published and citable.
• Citation metrics from independent databases such as Scopus and Web of Science (and, more cautiously, Google Scholar).
• An NSF CAREER award (Faculty Early Career Development Program, National Science Foundation), verifiable via the NSF award database, as a research honor.

To be clear, I am not requesting that my own publications be listed, as those are not independent of me; these are offered only as independent evidence of impact to help editors clean up the article in a "keep and improve" spirit.

I'm happy to supply additional independent sources and defer to editors' judgment on wording and on whether the tags can then be removed.

The Lancet Digital Health

Factual updates to Editor and Impact Factor

Please update three infobox fields for The Lancet Digital Health.

Suggested changes:

| change editor in chief from Rupa Sarkar to Hugh Thomas

| add abbreviation = Lancet Digit Health

| change impact factor from 23.8 to 25.5

| change impact-year from 2023 to 2025

Please update the sentence in the History section that currently reads:

“Rupa Sarkar is the editor-in-chief of the journal. The editorial team also includes deputy editor Diana Samuel, and senior editors Lucy Dunbar and Gustavo Monnerat.”

Suggested replacement:

“Hugh Thomas is the editor-in-chief of the journal. The editorial team also includes deputy editor Diana Samuel and senior editor Lucy Dunbar.”

Sources:

• The Lancet Digital Health “About the journal” page lists Hugh Thomas as Editor-in-Chief and lists Diana Samuel and Lucy Dunbar as deputy and senior editors: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landig/about
• NLM Catalog gives the title abbreviation as “Lancet Digit Health”: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/101751302
• https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landig/home gives the 2025 Journal Impact Factor as 25.5.

I have a conflict of interest, so I am requesting that another editor make this factual update. Thanks! YouOnlyLookOnce (talk) 22:20, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Please write on your user page that you have a conflict of interest. See WP:DISCLOSE. pattersonuwu ^njz (talk) 00:26, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Bloom Twins

Edit request: update genre, member name spelling, and add missing 2021-2025 releases

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)

Not done for now: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Theeverywhereperson talk here ^{In solidarity!} 17:45, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick review, here are the specific changes spelled out:

1. Infobox field "genre": change "Dark pop" to "Dark pop, electronic".

2. Member name (three places where the current text uses outdated or inconsistent spellings):

• Infobox caption: change "Sonia Kuprienko" to "Sofiia Kupriienko".
• Infobox "current_members": change "Sonya Kuprienko" to "Sofiia Kupriienko".
• Lead sentence and History section ("Anna and Sonia Kuprienko"): change "Sonia Kuprienko" to "Sofiia Kupriienko" (two instances).

Source: Freegal Music's catalogue credit for "Alive" (Damian Lazarus feat. Bloom Twins), drawn from the official release metadata, spells it "Sofiia Kupriienko": https://lacountylibrary.freegalmusic.com/artist/RGFtaWFuIExhemFydXMgJiBCbG9vbSBUd2lucyAmIEFubmEgS3VwcmlpZW5rbyBTb2ZpaWEgS3VwcmlpZW5rbyAmIFlhZWwgV2F0Y2htYW4gJiBQYW9sbyBCYXJ0b2xvbWVv

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. The same year, they featured on "Opposite of Crazy" from Purple Disco Machine's album Exotica. 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. Both tracks, along with four others, were compiled on the EP Transformer, released 14 June 2024. In 2025, Bloom Twins signed a publishing deal with Armada Music Publishing and released further collaborations with electronic producers Damian Lazarus ("Alive," April 2025), Reinier Zonneveld ("Mama Maria," June 2025), and Klangkarussell ("Cross the Border," October 2025).

4. Singles table: add these rows after the 2021 "DayDream" row:

• 2021: "High On Beat" (with Jan Blomqvist)
• 2021: "Opposite of Crazy" (Purple Disco Machine feat. Bloom Twins)
• 2023: "Drunk & Loud"
• 2023: "Beats Not Bombs"
• 2025: "Alive" (Damian Lazarus feat. Bloom Twins)
• 2025: "Mama Maria" (Reinier Zonneveld feat. Bloom Twins)
• 2025: "Cross the Border" (Klangkarussell feat. Bloom Twins)

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)

MagnaReady

Request edit: post-2021 update, Patents section, and bankruptcy trim

Disclosure: I am employed by David Peyser Sportswear, which owns MagnaReady. In accordance with Wikipedia's paid-contribution and conflict-of-interest policies, I am not editing the article directly and am requesting that an independent editor review and apply the changes below.

The article currently ends at the 2021 GBG bankruptcy, which leaves the misleading impression the brand was discontinued. The changes below bring it up to date using independent sources, replace the stale 2012 patent-application reference with the granted patents, and remove debt figures from the bankruptcy paragraph that do not concern MagnaReady.

1. Trim the 2021 bankruptcy paragraph. Replace the paragraph beginning "On July 29 2021, GBG USA initiated voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings..." with:

On July 29, 2021, GBG USA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and put a substantial portion of its assets up for sale, including MagnaReady.

The existing Wall Street Journal and Retail Dive citations should be retained; only the Kenneth Cole / ABG / Sequential / Marquee / Aquatalia / Frye–Spyder detail, none of which concerns MagnaReady, is removed.

2. Add two new sections immediately after the bankruptcy paragraph and before the MagnaClick section:

Patents

MagnaReady's adaptive apparel is based on magnetic fastening systems developed by founder Maura Horton. Horton and Magna Ready LLC hold several United States patents relating to magnetic fastening assemblies integrated into garment plackets, cuffs, and closures, designed to simplify dressing for people with limited dexterity while preserving the appearance of traditional button-front apparel. These include U.S. Patent No. 9,549,580 (2017) and No. 10,278,440 (2019), both titled Article of Clothing Having Magnetic Fastening Assemblies, and No. 10,448,687 (2019), Adaptive Clothing Using Magnetic Closures.

Acquisition and retail partnerships

In March 2022, David Peyser Sportswear acquired MagnaReady, expanding its adaptive apparel business through MagnaReady's magnetic-closure technology.

In July 2022, MagnaReady golf polos were worn at the inaugural U.S. Adaptive Open at Pinehurst, and the company introduced men's and women's adaptive golf apparel carrying U.S. Adaptive Open and U.S. Open championship logos, sold through Fanatics.

In November 2023, Brooks Brothers partnered with MagnaReady to introduce its first adaptive button-down shirt using the company's magnetic closure technology.

MagnaReady-powered apparel has also been sold through national retailers, including JCPenney (under its Stafford brand) and Duluth Trading Company.

Self Simulated

Edit request: Add additional review scores

I have a conflict of interest regarding this article (see disclosure on my user page), so I'd like to propose the following change via an edit request rather than making it myself:

Proposal: In the {{Video game reviews}} table in the "Release and reception" section, add two additional reviewers whose scores are already cited in the prose:

• Retro Dodo: 8.5/10
• Daily Nintendo: 4/5 stars

Specifically, the table would change as follows:

Current: {{Video game reviews |NWR=9/10<ref name="NWR"/> }}

Proposed: {{Video game reviews |NWR=9/10<ref name="NWR"/> |rev1=Retro Dodo |rev1Score=8.5/10<ref name="RetroDodo"/> |rev2=Daily Nintendo |rev2Score=4/5 stars<ref name="DailyNintendo"/> }}

Both sources already have full citations in the prose (or will be added with named refs). Retro Dodo is listed at WP:VG/RS. Thanks for checking! Attackemartin (talk) 09:24, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

TourRadar

Edit request: September 2025 AI Discovery launch

I have a paid conflict of interest (employee of TourRadar). Requesting the paragraph below be added to the History section, after the existing June 2025 Moments/RISE paragraph. All claims are supported by the cited independent trade press.

In September 2025, TourRadar launched AI Discovery, a set of integrations linking its tour inventory to external artificial-intelligence and social-media platforms. The release included a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server giving large language models, online travel agencies and developers access to the inventory for use in assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini; a custom GPT assistant within ChatGPT for searching tours using natural language; and a Trip Recommender for Instagram Reels, built with Google's Vertex AI, that suggests tours based on a reel's content.

Lazard

Updating the History section

Hi, I have some suggestions for updating the History section:

In the Early years subsection:

• Update the last sentence in the first paragraph as follows:

Lazard Frères began to serve miners engaged in the California Gold Rush and was involved in financing it, before quickly expanding into banking and foreign exchange.

In the A unified firm subsection:

• Add to the beginning of the subsection:

The firm was involved in saving New York City from bankruptcy during the Fiscal crisis of 1975.

• Before the fourth paragraph which begins "Lazard invested in a startup...", add the following sentence:

The firm was involved in restructuring Greece’s debt during the Greek government-debt crisis.

• Add Peter Orszag's new role to the end of the paragraph which begins "On May 26, 2023,...":

On January 1, 2025, Orszag's role expanded to serve as CEO and Chairman of Lazard's Board of Directors.

References

In addition to the above, I am currently working on gathering more content to expand the section further and will post when ready. Thank you! Fvfnyc (talk) 14:18, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

Could confirm the WP:RS on request 3 for the A unified firm section. Implemented with small tweak for WP:NPOV and encyclopedic style. VacFiller (talk) 17:25, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

I don't have a subscription to Bloomberg, but I did a search of the free sources and made two edits. If either of your sources has facts that I should see, please copy an exact quote and paste it on this page. For the Rougemont book, paste it in English and include a page number.

For the Gold Rush, you seem to agree that the statement that Lazard "served" miners should be removed. Your proposed addition that they "financed" the gold rush would be interesting if I knew more. The sources say only that they traded in gold.

For the New York city bankruptcy effort, the sources say that Felix Rohatyn was a former Lazard member when he headed the Municipal Assistance Corporation. Since Lazard wasn't involved, I left that out. Julian in LA (talk) 19:32, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention here, Julian in LA. Sorry for the delay, I've been offline. I am pasting the language from the Bloomberg article which backs Lazard's financing of the California Gold Rush and saving NYC from bankruptcy:

"The rarefied world of government debt restructuring is getting tougher for everyone—even Lazard, a 175-year-old company whose executives played a role in financing the California gold rush in the 19th century, saving New York City from near bankruptcy in the 20th and restructuring Greece’s debt in the 21st."

I'd appreciate it if you could implement these remaining edits. Thanks again! Fvfnyc (talk) 16:54, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Hope you had a nice vacation.

The quote, "executives played a role in financing the California gold rush" still doesn't say much. Did they do it on behalf of the firm? Did they finance the mining companies who took over from the 49ers? Did they finance Levi Strauss so the miners would have trousers to wear? Julian in LA (talk) 18:07, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Julian in LA This source () offers more clarity as to how the company financed the Gold Rush, in the following line:

"Later, an office was opened in San Francisco and it became the agent for the French government in the purchase of gold found during the California gold rush."

Let me know if anything else is needed. Thanks, Fvfnyc (talk) 16:29, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

The existing article says that the firm advised the French government on gold buying some time before 1870. The article on Simon Lazard says that they were primarily merchants during the gold rush era, while finance was a "growing but informal part of the business." To say that the French government was one of their clients during the gold rush would require a statement with more detail than this. An obituary and a news article written a century after the fact are not the best sources. The Simon Lazard article references an English-language history, The Last Tycoons, the Secret History of Lazard Frères & Co. (2007), which would make interesting reading. Julian in LA (talk) 03:27, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Notable current and former employees section

Hi Likeanechointheforest, thanks for reviewing this page. I noticed that you removed the "Notable current and former employees" section, explaining that it seems out of scope compared to similar pages. After looking around a bit, though, it seems to me that it is common practice to include this kind of section in articles on companies, in particular large companies that are more than a century old. Considering this, and considering that this section has been on the Lazard article for almost 20 years, evolving with various editors' input, would you mind restoring the section and then perhaps opening a discussion to hear what other editors might think? Thanks. Fvfnyc (talk) 22:50, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

I'd definitely be curious to see what other editors think who might want to jump in here! Likeanechointheforest (talk) 19:12, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

I've personally not seen a section like that before, could always go in the history if it was notable enough? However, I'm not opposed to a standalone section, just needs proper sourcing. Encoded  Talk 💬 12:55, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, Encoded. I appreciate your response. I'm working on referencing and will send the new list soon. In the meantime, since I already have the input of two editors I've closed the request. Thanks! Fvfnyc (talk) 20:45, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Update in lead

Hello. I would like to suggest changing the lead sentence of the article for accuracy. Here is my proposed language:

Lazard Inc. (formerly known as Lazard Ltd and Lazard Frères & Co.) is a multinational financial advisory and asset management firm that is headquartered in the United States. The firm engages in investment banking, asset management and other financial services, primarily with institutional clients.

I believe this description is more accurate as, since the late 1800s, the firm's three "Houses of Lazard" have been based in France, the United Kingdom and the United States and currently, the firm has principal executive offices in the three countries. Based on this, "multinational financial advisory and asset management firm, headquartered in the United States" would be a more fitting description.

I would appreciate a neutral editor changing the language.
