World Obstacle

Formal COI edit request: Disputed terms OCR / World OCR, invalid AIMS.SPORT reference, and active references to a dissolved entity

We are posting from the official World OCR account and disclose that our organization is directly affected by this article. For that reason, World OCR is not directly editing the article. We request review and correction by independent editors.

This is a formal conflict-of-interest edit request concerning materially disputed statements in the article about World Obstacle/FISO, specifically where the article addresses OCR, World OCR, AIMS member status, and the current references to the European Obstacle Sports Federation.

World OCR is not requesting promotional treatment and is not asking editors to remove information about World Obstacle/FISO generally. The request is narrower: the article should not present disputed or unsupported OCR-related governance claims, AIMS affiliation claims, or European governance references as settled facts in Wikipedia’s voice.

We request review of the following points:

1. Active AIMS affiliation / membership

Current wording to review:

“World Obstacle is a member of the Alliance of Independent Recognized Members of Sports”

Requested correction:

Remove the statement, or qualify it as an attributed claim only if supported by the AIMS itself. The article should not state in Wikipedia’s voice that World Obstacle/FISO is a member of AIMS unless current authoritative evidence confirms this.

Reason:

World OCR has documentary correspondence from AIMS dated 10 September 2024 stating that there are no obstacle-sport international federations within AIMS members and that the relevant federation is not a recognized member of AIMS. If editors require verification, World OCR can provide the official correspondence between one of our law firms with the President of AIMS at that time, Mr. Stephan Fox.

2. European Obstacle Sports Federation / European governance

Current wording to review:

“World Obstacle members are composed of national member federations administering obstacle course racing in each country. Each national federation belongs to one of the four continental confederations. Each of the continental confederation offers a continental championship. As of 2022, the continental confederations are:

• The Obstacle Sports Federation of Africa (OSFA) – 12 national federations
• The Pan American Obstacle Sports Federation (PAOSF) – 22 national federations
• The Obstacle Sports Federation Asia Pacific (OSFAP) – 30 national federations with sub-continental regions including Obstacle Sports Federation South East Asia, Obstacle Sports Federation Central and Western Asia, and Obstacle Sports Federation East & South Asia and Pacific.
• The European Obstacle Sports Federation (EOSF) – 30 national federations**. Sub continental associations for Nordic Countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden) and Central Europe (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Romania) were initiated in 2022. * Sub-continental regions for Asia-Pacific were formalized the 2021 OSFAP Congress. ** Originally formed an association of European organisations prior to the 1st OCR European Championships June 10–11, 2016, EOSF was incorporated as the European Obstacle Sports Federation on 8 April 2017 at Olbia, Sardegna, Italy.”

Requested correction:

Remove or qualify any wording that presents the European Obstacle Sports Federation as an active European confederation, governance body, or sanctioning authority unless current official registry evidence confirms that it is active and legally capable of operating in that role.

Reason:

Official Irish registry records indicate that the European Obstacle Sports Federation entity is dissolved. World OCR has also contacted the Irish Corporate Enforcement Authority (CEA) authorities concerning this issue, and they are about to be audited within the next two months. The article should not present the entity as operational or as a current sanctioning/governance body if that status is contradicted or materially disputed by official records.

3. OCR / World OCR wording references

Current wording to review, and requested for correction:

Replace broad wording that presents World Obstacle/FISO as the international governing body/authority for sporting activities defined as OCR, and eliminate World OCR-related wording. Examples:

“World Obstacle/FISO describes itself as ["...the international governing body for obstacle sports and related events. Disciplines include Ninja (similar to Sasuke and American Ninja Warrior) and obstacle course racing (OCR)."], while OCR-related governance and rights are disputed by World OCR, a separate Swiss-registered international federation, that governs the OCR as a standalone sport.” "To provide more autonomous governance of obstacle sports worldwide, World OCR changed its name to World Obstacle in October 2020. This provided a more inclusive name for the core sports of Ninja, OCR and adventure racing.[11]" For clarity, the organization identifying as World Obstacle, should provide document-based proof that is was previously registered as "World OCR". For further clarity, we are not requesting a general explanation or informal statement. We are requesting document-based evidence for the claims made publicly on Wikipedia.

We would like to point out that World OCR is a separate Swiss-registered international federation, and holds documented exclusive EU-level wordmark enforcement rights in relation to OCR, WORLD OCR, as well as OCRATHLON, through an exclusive agreement with the EUIPO registrant of the OCR and OCRATHLON marks. The article should therefore avoid stating or implying, in Wikipedia’s own voice, that World Obstacle/FISO is the uncontested global authority for OCR or World OCR-related activity, because it is highly misleading and damaging to our organization. EUIPO certificates can be provided upon request.

4. UIPM/FISO dissolution and transition

Current wording to review:

“[World Obstacle has worked with the Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) on its replacement of show jumping with obstacle racing in the modern pentathlon.]”

Requested correction:

Update the article to reflect, with attribution, that the organization presenting itself as the international governing body for all obstacle sports (FISO/World Obstacle) has voted to dissolve and integrate into UIPM, with the effective date stated by UIPM/FISO as 10 August 2026. This should be presented as a UIPM/FISO organizational transition, not as proof that all obstacle-sports-related organizations, trademarks, events, or independent OCR development pathways worldwide are absorbed into or controlled by the UIPM/FISO integration group. This is an attempt to create an overreach in international sports governance, and should not be permitted.

Reason:

While the UIPM/FISO integration may be relevant from the Obstacle Discipline perspective, which is one of the 5 disciplines of Modern Pentathlon, that should not suggest or imply - IN ANY WAY - that World OCR as an organization, or that OCR and OCRATHLON as independently developing sports, will cease to exist ,and be governed on a separate pathway.

World OCR kindly requests that independent editors to:

• remove or qualify any AIMS membership/recognition claim unless current authoritative sourcing confirms it;
• remove or qualify references presenting the European Obstacle Sports Federation as an active European governance or sanctioning body unless current official registry evidence confirms that status;
• avoid wording that presents World Obstacle/FISO as the uncontested authority for OCR, OCRATHLON, or World OCR-related matters;
• attribute broad UIPM/FISO governance claims rather than stating them as uncontested facts in Wikipedia’s voice;
• add a neutral note, if editors consider appropriate, that OCR-specific governance and rights are disputed by World OCR.

World OCR is willing to provide public links, official registry records, and documentary evidence to assist independent editors. We ask that the article be reviewed urgently because the disputed statements affect athletes, event organizers, public authorities, sponsors, insurers, and sport-governance stakeholders.

 Not done. His play [...] received its Broadway debut at the Helen Hayes Theatre November 2025 to February 2026. needs a source, and the nytimes link you've provided is paywalled, so I'm not sure if it verifies the info; if you could provide a relevant quote from the source that would be beneficial, or even better a non paywalled source.

He was a writer/producer for Orange in the New Black for 3 years. Same as above. IMDB cannot be used as a reliable source for credits; see WP:IMDB. I'm going to go ahead and remove the same claim in the body article for also being unsourced.

His debut novel Miss Archer will be published by Harper Collins/Morrow in January 2027. See WP:CRYSTAL.

Editing last paragraph of wendy everson biography

I wish to remove the last paragraph on the biography section. Equinar378 (talk) 14:30, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi Wendy - I've added a {{edit COI}} tag to this request so that it'll get seen more widely. I've also just removed some of the detail in that paragraph (like the bit about UK Sport) because it wasn't necessary and was using a broken link as a citation. (To anyone else reviewing this request: please also see Equinar378's talk page where they say they indicate they are Wendy Everson, and they'd like to remove this content, which is currently sourced to archived Guardian sport blog column from 2007.)

Rana Rahimpour

== Proposed update to article (Conflict of Interest disclosure) ==

Hello. I am Rana Rahimpour, the subject of this article. I understand Wikipedia's guidance regarding conflict of interest editing and would therefore appreciate feedback from independent editors before making substantial changes to the page. The article currently focuses almost exclusively on my BBC career and does not reflect a number of developments in my professional work since leaving the BBC in 2023. I have drafted a series of proposed updates supported by reliable sources, including coverage in Positive News, recent bylines in The Observer and the i newspaper, and official programme materials from Breaking Convention. The proposed updates include: Updating the lead to reflect my current work as a journalist, broadcaster, podcaster, and psychedelic facilitator. Expanding the Career section to include my continuing freelance journalism on Iran. Adding information about my speaking engagement at Breaking Convention. Renaming the "Controversies" section to "Advocacy and threats", as it currently includes incidents relating to threats against journalists and the harassment of BBC Persian staff rather than controversies initiated by me. Updating the article structure to better reflect my career from 2008 to the present. I have prepared draft wording and references and would be grateful if uninvolved editors could review the proposed changes and advise on what would be appropriate under Wikipedia's policies on biographies of living persons, neutrality, and due weight. Thank you. Ranafromtehran (talk) 14:36, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Ranafromtehran- you said you drafted a series of updates, but I only see a general description of what you want updated, not the actual draft. Can you provide it? RedBaron214 (talk) 18:38, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Caroline Castigliano

Conflict of interest edits

I am the marketing representative for Caroline Castigliano and have declared my conflict of interest on my user page as required by Wikipedia policy. The edits I have made are factual, fully cited to independent reliable sources including The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mirror, Hello! magazine, Tatler, The Times, and Vogue UK, and are intended to bring an outdated article up to date rather than to advertise. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss which specific elements are considered promotional so they can be addressed. I am happy to work collaboratively to produce a neutral version of the article. BridesUK (talk) 12:09, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

Finally. Okay, please stop editing the article, because it's clear you have no idea what constitutes neutral additions to an encyclopaedia article. Instead, propose your edits – in bite-size lumps – on this talk page, one at a time, waiting between each one for a reply from a neutral editor. Use the {{Edit COI}} template like this:

1. Click Add topic on the talk page, and add a subject like Some proposed changes
2. In the large empty text area, type {{edit COI}} (do not indent the template with : or *)
3. Underneath this, write out the specific changes you want made to the article. Volunteers are less likely to respond to unclear or open-ended requests. Using {{TextDiff|1=Existing text|2=Your proposed text}} here will help make your intent clear.
4. At the end, sign the post using four tildes: ~~~~
5. Click on the Show preview button and have a look to make sure the request appears the way you want it to
6. If you wish to make any corrections or additions, you may do so in the edit box below the preview (scroll down to see this box); preview your post as many times as you wish, and when you are satisfied, click on the Publish changes button

Remember: this is an encyclopaedia. It is not a venue for advertising your client. • a frantic turtle 🐢 12:34, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

I would like to propose adding a standard infobox to this article. This is factual, non-promotional information of the kind included in articles about comparable designers such as Monique Lhuillier and Vera Wang. No existing text would be changed or removed.

Proposed update: Early life and career section

The current early life and career section contains several inaccuracies and unsourced statements. I would like to propose replacing it with a corrected version, sourced to a 1995 Daily Telegraph feature article (Samuel, Kathryn, "Royal Connections", The Daily Telegraph, 16 January 1995, p.15) and other independent sources already cited in the article. The specific corrections are: 1. The return date to the UK is given as 1990 in the current article. The Telegraph source states 1991. 2. The Jasper Conran collaboration is mentioned but not cited. The Telegraph source confirms it and provides context. 3. The Liberty consultancy is not mentioned in the current article. The Telegraph source confirms it. 4. The expansion to Harrods and Liberty concessions is not currently mentioned.

In 1990, she returned to the UK and opened a bespoke bridalwear retail business and in the mid nineties worked with Jasper Conran. In 1996 she launched her first high end bridal dress collection.

+

She returned to the United Kingdom in 1991 and opened her first bridal boutique in Esher, Surrey, followed by a second boutique in central London in 1993. Shortly after opening, she invited the designer [[Jasper Conran]] to collaborate on a dedicated bridal collection, released under the joint label ''Jasper Conran for Caroline Castigliano''. The collection launched to widespread critical acclaim. Its success coincided with the 1994 wedding of [[Lady Sarah Chatto|Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones]], daughter of [[Princess Margaret]], to Daniel Chatto, at which Lady Sarah wore a Jasper Conran gown; the resulting international press coverage brought the Castigliano brand to widespread attention. It was during this collaboration that Castigliano decided to launch her own eponymous collection, which followed six months later. By 1995, Castigliano had also become consultant to [[Liberty of London|Liberty]]. The first dedicated Caroline Castigliano collection launched in 1996, and the brand subsequently expanded to fifteen boutiques across the United Kingdom, including concessions at [[Harrods]] and Liberty in London.

Two proposed changes: early career correction and unsourced birth year

I have two separate proposals below. Proposal 1: Early career section The previous proposal for this section (above) appears not to have been implemented yet — the article still shows the old text. I am resubmitting it unchanged as it was previously marked as accepted.

Proposal 2: Removal of unsourced birth year The article currently includes "c.1960" in the opening line and the category Category:1960 births. There is no cited source anywhere in the article that supports this date. Under Wikipedia's Biographies of Living Persons policy, unsourced or unverified personal information about living people must be removed. I therefore propose:

−

Caroline Castigliano (c.1960 -) is a British fashion designer

+

Caroline Castigliano is a British fashion designer

And removal of from the article categories, to be replaced with Category:Year of birth missing (living people). BridesUK

New edit request: early career correction and birth year removal

Following guidance from Spintendo (above), I am resubmitting both proposals in the requested format. Request 1: Early career correction 1. Please replace the entire second paragraph of the article, which currently reads: "In 1990, she returned to the UK and opened a bespoke bridalwear retail business and in the mid nineties worked with Jasper Conran. In 1996 she launched her first high end bridal dress collection." 2.

Daily Express. https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/style/472389/Caroline-Castigliano-has-designed-dresses-for-Kate-Middleton-s-friends 4. Reason for change: The current text contains factual inaccuracies. The return date of 1990 is incorrect — the 1995 Daily Telegraph source confirms 1991. The Jasper Conran collaboration, Liberty consultancy, and expansion to Harrods and Liberty concessions are all unsourced in the current text but confirmed by independent sources listed above. Request 2: Birth year removal 1. Please remove "(c.1960 -)" from the opening line of the article, which currently reads: "Caroline Castigliano (c.1960 -) is a British fashion designer" 2. Please replace it with: "Caroline Castigliano is a British fashion designer" 3. Also please remove from the article categories and replace with 4. Reason for change: There is no cited source anywhere in the article supporting 1960 as the birth year.

Priya Thomas

Proposed updated version (fully sourced)

Hello—In line with the disclosure on my user page, I am posting a proposed update to the article. The current text is outdated and undersourced. Below is a complete, neutrally written rewrite with reliable citations (Brock News, Interview Magazine, Magnet Magazine, etc.). Paywalled sources (The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star) are noted as verifiable.

I hold the original printed reviews cited from The Globe and Mail (2008), The Toronto Star (2008), and Montreal publications (1996) in my personal archives. These are verifiable primary print sources and can be confirmed privately if required.

I am requesting review and, if appropriate, replacement of the current text by an uninvolved editor.

Priya Thomas
Priya Thomas, Sled Island Music Festival
Born	Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Occupations	Artist, scholar
Years active	1996–present

Priya Thomas is a Canadian artist and scholar whose multidisciplinary practice spans choreography, musical composition, theatre, and historical research. She has released music under her own name and under the moniker Iroquois Falls. She has shared stages with artists including Radiohead, The Fall, James, and John Cale.

Early life and education

Raised in Montreal, Thomas began studying violin at a young age and started writing songs at eleven. She completed a DEC in Fine Arts before earning a B.A. in Religious Studies from McGill University, where she also pursued Sanskrit. She later obtained an M.A. and Ph.D. from York University.

Academic career

Thomas has held tenure-stream appointments in university dance and theatre departments in Canada and the United States. From 2018 to 2021, she served as a tenure-stream professor in the Department of Dance at Texas Woman’s University. She currently teaches in the Department of Dramatic Arts at Brock University. Between 2021 and 2024, she served as the Book Reviews Editor for the peer-reviewed academic journal Theatre Research in Canada (University of Toronto Press). Her publication record centres on dance and theatre histories, with particular focus on the non-human in performance.

Music career

Priya Thomas performing at The Spitz in London

Thomas released her debut album In the Throes of the Microscope in 1996. Her follow-up, Armageddon Weather Channel (1998), was recorded with contributions from Ian Ilavsky (Constellation Records, Silver Mt. Zion, Godspeed You! Black Emperor). She later released Songs for Car Commercials (2003) and You and Me Against the World Baby (2006) on UK-based IRL/Universal Records. In 2008, she released Priya Thomas is Blood Heron (Renovation Tracks) on Sunny Lane/Universal. Reviewed in national and regional outlets, Brad Wheeler of The Globe and Mail described the record as “all guts, bones, and jugular veins,” while in his Anti-Hit List column, John Sakamoto of The Toronto Star called Thomas’s music “comically literate,” alluding to its raw textures and emotional precision.

In 2012, under the project name Iroquois Falls, Thomas released the EP Twice-Born-Once-From-A-Gun through Hi-Scores/Universal Records. Writing for Interview Magazine, Erin Brady described the accompanying video for “The Magician’s Niece” as “opening like a diary entry” and creating “an effect, coupled with the flicker of found footage, [that] is at once trance-like and jarring.”

Thomas trained in the Balasaraswati tradition of Bharatanatyam under Priyamvada Sankar, daughter of Sanskrit scholar V. Raghavan, performing her arangetram in 1983 and continuing to study and perform until 1995 in Canada, the United States, and India. Alongside her classical training, she studied Carnatic vocal music with Sankar. Her later choreographic work explores the relationship between embodiment and visuality, intersecting dance, sound, and text-based practices. In recent years, she has choreographed and directed theatrical productions in Canada.

“Request to remove outdated and incorrect content (COI)”

Hello — I am an editor with a declared conflict of interest, as I am associated with the subject. I would appreciate assistance from an uninvolved editor.

Two items in the current article are outdated or inaccurate and need correction:

The Discography section – It contains outdated material and duplicates information already present in the prose. It should be removed for clarity and accuracy. The statement that the subject “she also teaches and practices Ashtanga yoga in Toronto.”

This information is outdated and no longer accurate; it should be removed.

Requested edits:

Remove the entire Discography section Remove the sentence referring to studying/teaching Ashtanga yoga

Thank you very much for reviewing this request. Commons Arts Archivist (talk) 12:11, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done removed the discography section Perfecnot (talk) 04:39, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

---

Hello again — adding a brief clarification so the request is actionable under COI guidelines.

• Please remove the outdated “Discography” section. • Please remove the sentence stating I “currently study and teach Ashtanga yoga in Toronto,” as it is no longer accurate. • Please replace the article content with the fully-sourced draft provided above in this section.

For clarity, the exact sentence currently on the article is: “She also teaches and practices Ashtanga yoga in Toronto.” This is outdated information, so I’m flagging it here for an editor to remove it.

Thank you — and I won’t add further notes unless requested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Commons Arts Archivist (talk • contribs) 12:18, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello — just following up on the edit request above, as some time has passed without a response. I wanted to check whether an uninvolved editor would be able to review the proposed update when time permits. Many thanks for your time and consideration. Commons Arts Archivist (talk) 18:07, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Commons Arts Archivist Sorry to be late to the game here. Your request is the oldest that is not being worked. The backlog is almost 400 articles now, so every request has to be easy to understand. I can't tell without doing more work what you want to change, and it looks like some of the work was done (discography removal). Can you use the format that I describe here? User:STEMinfo/COI_edit_requests#Simple_connected_edit_request. You can ping me to review when you are done. STEMinfo (talk) 19:58, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

@STEMinfo:

Hello — thank you for your guidance. I’ve simplified my request into specific edits below.

1. Lead paragraph:

Replace with:

Priya Thomas is a Canadian artist and scholar whose work spans choreography, musical composition, theatre, and research. She has released music under her own name and under the moniker Iroquois Falls, and her practice brings together performance, music, drama, and writing.

 Done} - @Commons Arts Archivist: Responding to ping. The lead only summarizes the article, so no sources are needed. For the other items, you'll want to put the full citations inline so I can read them and review. If I can't just click on them to review, it'll take too much time. It will also help if you show the before and after text so we can see what's changing, per the code I showed you. There are over 500 requests in the queue now, and the ones that are easier to review are the ones that will be implemented first. STEMinfo (talk) 22:23, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

@STEMinfo:

Hello — thank you for your guidance. I have reformatted my request below with inline citations and before/after text for clarity.

1. LEAD PARAGRAPH

2. EARLY LIFE AND TRAINING (clarification + lineage + citation)

Current text:

4. V. RAGHAVAN CONTEXT (additional citation)

Add citation supporting V. Raghavan’s significance:

Thank you for your time and help with this. Commons Arts Archivist (talk) 16:16, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

This request gotten a bit scrambled from multiple changes relative to what was originally posted. From what I read:

• the incorrect information has been removed
• the discography has been removed
• the lead has been updated as requested
• the early life and education section is done
• the Iroquois Falls addition is done.

For the rest, Academic career, Dance and theatre are to be added; and the current Music career is to be changed substantially. Fiske (talk) 19:55, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

For the Dance section, I am not able to source the statements about Priya's training with the references given, particularly the important connection to Priyamvada Sankar. Additional or better sources are needed to nail that down. Fiske (talk) 20:14, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

In the Academic career section, I could source most of the information and I have added that. I was not able to confirm the dates or tenure-stream from the sources. I notice that an earlier version of the request had included a statement about publications - that could be sourced (without ebellishment) by added a citation of one or two of her publications. Fiske (talk) 20:23, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

I've replaced the music career section, in line with this request, and moved the dance material to a separate section. For the latter, I have tagged parts as. When those source are found, please open a NEW {{edit coi}} request. I will close this request. Fiske (talk) 20:52, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Additional sourced updates for dance/theatre background

Hello — following up with several institutional sources that may help clarify and support the remaining dance and theatre material, including the earlier question regarding evidence for theatre involvement.

Suggested wording:

“Thomas trained in Bharata Natyam under Priyamvada Sankar in Montreal, in the T. Balasaraswati tradition. Sankar was the daughter of Sanskrit scholar V. Raghavan.”

Supporting sources:

• York University / University of Toronto Graduate Dance Symposium program (2019), which describes Thomas as:

“Concurrently trained as a Bharata Natyam dancer (in the T. Balasaraswati tradition) and as a classical violinist.”

• “How Bharata Natyam Came to Montreal” (Hinduism Today):

https://www.hinduismtoday.com/hpi/2019/06/12/how-bharata-natyam-came-to-montreal/

• “Dr. Raghavan and the Music Academy” (Music Academy Madras):

https://musicacademymadras.in/old-madras-dr-raghavan-and-the-music-academy/

Regarding theatre/choreography involvement:

The Brock University Humanities Research Institute Annual Report 2023–24 includes a professional biography confirming:

• prior appointment at Texas Woman’s University,
• interdisciplinary practice across music/dance/choreography,
• and direction of The Foreigner (Helen Belay) for the Decolonize Your Ears Festival at Theatre Aquarius, Hamilton.

The report also describes Thomas as working across “musician/dancer/choreographer” practices and theatre-related teaching and directing activities.

Thank you again for your work on the article.

I am friends with Tim Ely but do not receive any financial benefit from helping this page improve. Have been attempting to improve it for almost a decade now but reverted all changes and posted them here — because that's what we're supposed to do. EXCEPT — nothing has happened since 2019 — there isn't enough activity for anyone to make changes.

I have added a significant number of references to Tim Ely's self-published blog which gives biographical background. Hoping this begins to alleviate the problems with the page. Dsgarnett (talk) 18:17, 29 April 2019 (UTC) dsgarnett

I have been in discussions with MrOllie about this page and his concerns about my involvement. My work is on behalf of the Timothy Ely — the subject of this BLP. My goal is simply to get accurate depth onto the page — including if anyone would like to add additional opinions about Mr. Ely's work.

For clarity, I help him with his Blog as well — but this is not "for fee" work. We are old friends and I bring help to him in this kind of work. That said, I am not being paid either directly or indirectly for assisting him with his Wikipedia page. (My income sources are elsewhere.)

@Dsgarnett: talk page comments like this, on a low-traffic talk page, can go unseen for a very long time, as I think you're finding out. You should instead be making edit requests (click on that link to find out more), which go into a live queue and are likely to get a much faster response. There is also a wizard at WP:ERW which helps you post a request.

I'm taking down the admin help request flag, as this matter requires no administrative action.

Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:16, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

I recommend adding the following as it uses independent sources which discuss Mr. Ely's work to help the Wikipedia reader understand his unique imagery:

Studley Royal Park

Edit request: sourced note on separate shooting rights ownership

I have a conflict of interest because I do work related to Studley Royal Shoot, so I’m not editing directly. I’d like to request consideration of the following addition to the “Public ownership” section, after the sentence noting the National Trust’s 1983 acquisition:

"The National Trust states that the freehold shooting rights at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal are separately owned by Studley Royal Shoot, which operates independently of the Trust."

This is supported by the National Trust’s page “The Shoot at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal”, which states that Studley Royal Shoot owns the freehold shooting rights and is entirely separate from the National Trust.

If editors think this is undue weight or better phrased another way, please adjust or decline. ~~~~ Sjvdm (talk) 20:30, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Nemenhah

COI edit request: neutral wording and fuller summary of 2009 AP source

Disclosure: I am a regionally elected chief in the Nemenhah and publisher of the Nemenhah Record, so I have a conflict of interest and am requesting review rather than editing the article directly.

I am requesting a narrow, source-based change to improve neutrality and accuracy.

The current article describes Phillip “Cloudpiler” Landis in Wikipedia’s voice as a “convicted fraudster.” This wording seems unnecessarily loaded for the lead sentence. The cited Associated Press/NBC source does mention prior fraud charges and prison time, but it also identifies Landis in the context of his role with the Nemenhah and includes his statements about the Daniel Hauser matter.

I propose replacing the current lead wording with more neutral wording such as:

“The Nemenhah Band is a religious group associated with Phillip ‘Cloudpiler’ Landis, who told the Associated Press in 2009 that he had been elected the group’s principal medicine chief.”

I also propose revising the controversy paragraph so it reflects the cited source more fully. Suggested wording:

“In 2009, news coverage connected the Nemenhah Band with the Daniel Hauser chemotherapy case after Hauser’s mother was reported to have joined the group a few months earlier. Landis told the Associated Press that he had never met Hauser or her son, urged them to return home, and said he could not support her committing a felony.”

This request is not asking editors to accept private knowledge. It is based on the article’s existing cited source and is intended to bring the article closer to neutral wording and a fuller summary of the source.

~~~~ Raforsyth (talk) 19:16, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Please disclose your COI on your user page as well(User:Raforsyth).

I have removed the reference to "convicted fraudster" because that was not described in the provided source.

I'm leaving this request open to see if someone else can have more luck in accessing the other sources for the paragraph you're asking be changed. I'm actually wondering if your group merits an article at all according to our criteria, but I'm leaving that aside for now. 331dot (talk) 19:29, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. I have disclosed my conflict of interest on my user page as requested. I appreciate the removal of the unsupported wording. Raforsyth (talk) 19:32, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
