El Camino Health

2026 Comprehensive Article Update

I am an working on behalf of El Camino Health and would like to propose the following updates to ensure the article reflects current operations and recent facility expansions. I have provided the proposed text in sections with the corresponding citations for independent editor review.

Proposed Lead Section

El Camino Health is a non-profit healthcare system in the Silicon Valley and the South Bay, comprising two not-for-profit acute care hospitals, multiple urgent, specialty, and primary care locations and virtual visits to provide broad access to medical care.

Notable Services

El Camino Health provides a range of services, notably cancer care, cardiovascular care, maternity care, mental health and addiction services, orthopedics, pulmonology, urology, and women’s health. The Women’s Hospital at Mountain View underwent a $149 million expansion and renovation to its Center for Women and Newborns which was completed in January 2026. The expansion includes a separate Obstetrics Emergency Department, care for high risk pregnant mothers, 52 private patient rooms and a new neonatal intensive care (NICU) with private rooms, allowing parents to stay with their newborns.

The Norma Melchor Heart & Vascular Institute at El Camino Health is a long-time early adopter and inventor of advanced technologies and treatments for heart disease including: preventing heart disease and stroke, heart rhythm and A-fib, stroke care and cardiac rehabilitation.

In 2024, the Heart & Vascular Institute was recognized as the fourth best heart-focused program in California and one of America’s 100 Best for Cardiac Care for the fourth year in a row by Healthgrades, an independent evaluator of clinical quality for hospitals.

The Scrivner Center for Mental Health and Addiction Services offers a wide range of services including specialized care for youth and young adults through the After School Program Interventions and Resiliency Education (ASPIRE).

History

The first hospital in the group was started by a group of Los Altos physicians who wanted to build a facility to be more convenient to residents of Santa Clara County. A measure to form a hospital district was put on the ballot in 1956, and it received overwhelming support to establish the El Camino Healthcare District, a separate governmental tax district which funded the construction of the hospital with $7.3 million in bonds.

In 2009 it bought the former Community Hospital of Los Gatos and renamed it El Camino Hospital Los Gatos. Since September 2017, the CEO has been Dan Woods.

Innovations

In the late 1960s, El Camino Health collaborated with Lockheed Martin to develop a computerized physician order entry system. The system was implemented in the early 1970s and became the precursor to one of the first electronic health records. Cardiology pioneer Thomas Fogarty founded Fogarty Innovation in 2007 on the campus of El Camino Health. It is a medical innovation incubator designed to help startups develop their ideas and bring forward new technologies that improve patient care and lower healthcare costs. The nonprofit Fogarty Innovation hub at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View has incubated scores of companies and trained industry and regulatory leaders. In 2009, Popular Science Magazine named it “the most technologically advanced hospital in the world,” thanks to advances in areas like robotic science, such as the “cyber knife”—a robotic type of radiation therapy used in surgery that can excise tumors very precisely, and can sense movements of the patient’s body like breathing and adjust itself in an extremely accurate way.

El Camino Health participated in the development of MitraClip, a medical device that uses a catheter-based approach to repair the mitral valve in a beating heart. MitraClip has revolutionized therapy for mitral regurgitation and received Food and Drug Administration approval in 2013. In 2014, El Camino Health was one of first hospitals in California to perform a new, minimally invasive aortic valve procedure using the Medtronic CoreValve System.

In 2019, El Camino Health's interventional pulmonology program was the first in the world to perform a robotic lung nodule biopsy commercially. Since then, El Camino's Ganesh Krishna, MD, has published findings showing that the use of robotic-assisted technology leads to more accurate diagnoses and more successful removal of hard-to-reach lung nodules.

In 2019, El Camino Health became the first hospital in California to perform bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, a minimally invasive procedure for severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In 2023, El Camino health partnered with Fogarty Innovation and Flosonics Medical to pilot and later be the first in the world to adopt the FloPatch, ultrasound technology to treat patients with sepsis.

Also that year, El Camino Health launched The Taft Innovation Fund with a gift from philanthropists Pamela and Edward Taft to continue investing in cutting edge technology and research to advance healthcare.

Quality Care

El Camino Health was the first hospital in the Bay area to be designated nursing MAGNET hospital by the American Nursing Credentialing Center, the professional accreditation body for health care quality and professional nursing practice worldwide. El Camino Health is currently seeking its fifth MAGNET designation. U.S. News ranked El Camino Hospital #16 (out of 413 hospitals) for Best Hospitals in California and #2 for Best Hospitals in San Jose (out of 13 hospitals).

IMazing

Request to add Features section — COI disclosure

I am disclosing a conflict of interest: I work at DigiDNA, the company that develops iMazing. Per Wikipedia's COI guidelines, I am not editing the article directly but am instead submitting this request for review.

I am proposing two changes to the iMazing article:

1. Addition of a new "Features" section covering seven topics: backup and data management, media and file transfer, messaging and personal data export, app management, security (Spyware Analyzer), iMazing Mini, and enterprise features (iMazing Configurator).

2. Removal of the existing "Description" section, whose content is fully absorbed by the new Features section. Keeping both would create redundancy and weaken the article's structure.

All claims in the proposed section are supported exclusively by independent third-party sources, including Macworld, 9to5Mac, iMore, MacStories, MacRumors, iDownloadBlog, MacTrast, and Amnesty International. No primary or official iMazing sources are used for factual claims. The tone is neutral and descriptive throughout.

The full proposed section with inline citations is available below for review. I welcome any corrections or adjustments before inclusion.

Thank you.

Nir Eyal

Updating Eyal's page with up to date information

1. Lede paragraph

The lede paragraph of the article should be updated to include Eyal's two latest books; add these two sentences at the end of the lede paragraph:

Personal financial management

The first home finance software application

Disclosure: I am the son of Gerald Rubin (founder of MECA Software) and a former developer at the company.

Specific Change 1 (Correcting the Origin Date/Company): Please change: "PFM started in 1983 with the founding of Intuit. Scott Cook and Tom Proulx, the company's founders, witnessed the rise of the personal computer and saw an opportunity to develop personal financial software."

To: "Modern PFM software emerged in the early 1980s. In early 1984, Micro Education Corporation of America (MECA) (a subsidiary of Marketing Corporation of America), led by Gerald Rubin, released its flagship product, Andrew Tobias' Managing Your Money (MYM). Andrew Tobias announced the software's release on the Today Show on March 19, 1984, and initial distribution began that month (documented in Compute! Magazine, Dec 1985, p. 134). Intuit's Quicken (originally Kwik-Chek) followed later that year, with a launch scheduled for October 1984 (Inside Intuit, Taylor & Schroeder, p. 28)."

Specific Change 2 (Adding Technical Innovation): Please add the following text after the mention of MYM: "The development of MYM was notable for its use of a proprietary language called SEESAW (System Elegantly Enmeshing Screens And Worksheets). Created by Steve Wagar and Jim Russell, SEESAW allowed a user interface layer to sit directly atop a spreadsheet engine, enabling complex relational logic across different modules of the application. This technical environment served as an early training ground for several industry leaders, including Rob Glaser, who was approximately the 250th employee at Microsoft before founding RealNetworks."

Requested update based on recent independent sources

I have a conflict of interest regarding this subject, so I will not edit the article directly any further. I would like to request a neutral update based on recent independent coverage.

A possible approach would be:

• updating the short description from “Belgian television producer” to “Belgian entrepreneur and ice-cream producer”;
• adding a brief, neutrally worded note that Philippe Bogaert is the founder of Ralph & Roxy's;
• briefly mentioning the recent coverage of the Brussels Airlines partnership;
• keeping older material concise, for example by only noting that he is the author of Exit Permit! (2011).

Possible wording:

Philippe Bogaert (born 1971) is a Belgian entrepreneur and ice-cream producer. He is the founder of Ralph & Roxy's, a Belgian artisanal ice-cream brand based in Walloon Brabant. In 2026, the company received wider media attention after Brussels Airlines introduced Ralph & Roxy's ice cream on its long-haul flights.

JEGS Performance

COI Edit Request

Following up with a specific edit request: In the "History" section, I propose adding a historical image of the original JEGS building (1960s), which is available on Wikimedia Commons:

Original JEGS Performance building in Columbus, Ohio, photographed in the 1960s

This image would provide historical context to the company’s founding period. Additionally, I propose adding a current headquarters image in a later section for balance:

JEGS Performance headquarters in Delaware, Ohio, photographed in 2025

Both images are freely licensed on Wikimedia Commons. Please let me know if this placement or formatting should be adjusted. Jaq78 (talk) 13:11, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Fix broken reference for acquisition (Performance Racing Industry)

I’d like to propose fixing a broken reference in the lead section.

The current citation for “JEGS acquired by private equity firm” appears to be a dead or non-resolving link.

I suggest replacing it with this working third-party source:

This source is independent and directly supports the acquisition statement currently in the article.

Please let me know if any adjustments are needed. Jaq78 (talk) 11:35, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Improve sourcing for NHRA racing statement

I’d like to propose improving sourcing in the "Racing" section.

The current reference used for NHRA-related participation appears to be either a primary source or does not directly support the statement about competition history.

Would it be appropriate to replace or supplement this with a third-party source that provides independent coverage of Team JEGS’ racing activity or NHRA participation?

I’m happy to suggest specific sources for review if helpful.

Please let me know what would be preferred. Jaq78 (talk) 11:38, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Done BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, an independent reliable source would definitely be preferred. That said, if you're requesting an edit, you need to be specific, something along the lines of "add citation XYZ to the end of sentence ABC". BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Following up with a more directly NHRA-focused source for the "Racing" section.

The sentence:

"Team JEGS is the motorsports division of JEGS Performance, primarily involved in drag racing and competition within the NHRA."

I suggest adding the following citation to the end of this sentence:

This source provides independent coverage of Team JEGS participating in NHRA drag racing and supports the statement in the article. Jaq78 (talk) 14:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Improve sourcing by replacing primary/self-published references

I’d like to propose improving sourcing by replacing or supplementing some primary or self-published references currently used in the article.

Specifically: - The "JEGS Story" / About page is being used as a source for historical claims - The JEGS Foundation page is used for charitable contributions

While these may be accurate, they are primary sources and may not meet Wikipedia’s preference for independent, secondary sources.

Would it be appropriate to: - Replace or supplement these with third-party coverage (e.g., industry publications, news coverage, or independent profiles) - Retain primary sources only for straightforward, non-controversial facts

I can suggest specific independent sources for review if helpful.

Please let me know what approach would be preferred. Jaq78 (talk) 11:39, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Not done: Request is redundant to above request. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 13:25, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Improve sourcing for NHRA participation statement (specific citation)

I’d like to propose a specific sourcing improvement in the "Racing" section.

The sentence:

"Team JEGS is the motorsports division of JEGS Performance, primarily involved in drag racing and competition within the NHRA."

currently appears to rely on a primary or indirect source.

I suggest adding a supporting independent citation such as:

This source provides independent coverage of JEGS within the performance and racing industry.

If a more directly NHRA-focused source would be preferred, I’m happy to propose alternatives.

Please let me know what would be most appropriate. Jaq78 (talk) 13:40, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

A more directly NHRA-focused source would be preferred. Doesn't have to be anything too fancy, just something that explicitly discusses Team JEGS and drag racing. DiscoursesonLivvy (talk · contribs) 23:10, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Improve lead section wording and sourcing (neutral tone)

I’d like to propose a revision to the lead section to improve neutrality and sourcing, in line with Wikipedia guidelines.

The current lead includes phrasing that may read as promotional and relies in part on primary sources.

I suggest replacing the opening paragraph with the following:

"JEGS Performance is an American retailer and distributor of automotive performance parts and accessories. The company was founded in 1960 by Jeg Coughlin Sr. in Columbus, Ohio. It expanded from a local speed shop into a national mail-order and e-commerce retailer. In 2022, JEGS was acquired by private equity firm Greenbriar Equity Group."

This version aims to: - use neutral, descriptive language - remove potentially promotional phrasing - rely on independent, third-party sourcing where appropriate

Please let me know if adjustments to wording or sourcing would be preferred. Jaq78 (talk) 13:43, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Not done: I think this would render the existing History section too redundant. DiscoursesonLivvy (talk · contribs) 23:16, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Add independent sources to support notability

I’d like to propose adding additional independent, secondary sources to help address the notability concern noted at the top of the article.

I understand that demonstrating notability requires multiple reliable, independent sources that provide significant coverage of the subject.

I can provide several examples of third-party coverage of JEGS High Performance from industry publications and news sources that discuss the company’s role in the automotive aftermarket and motorsports.

Would it be appropriate to add a small number of these sources to support notability? I’m happy to propose specific citations for review if helpful.

Please let me know what would be preferred. Jaq78 (talk) 12:42, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Add independent secondary sources to History and Racing sections

Following up regarding the article’s notability and sourcing concerns, I’d like to propose adding several independent secondary sources to the existing “History” and “Racing” sections.

These sources provide direct coverage of JEGS High Performance and Team JEGS from established automotive and motorsports publications.

Possible sources include:

• Performance Racing Industry – coverage of JEGS and the company’s role in the performance aftermarket industry
• Drag Illustrated – coverage of Team JEGS participation in NHRA drag racing
• Additional NHRA-related coverage discussing Team JEGS drivers and competition activity

I believe these sources would help strengthen independent sourcing and support the article’s notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

If preferred, I can follow up with specific proposed citations and exact placement suggestions for review. Jaq78 (talk) 14:02, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Done I added the first two sources, but used a source from The Drive instead of the PRI source, as it had more information, as well as adding a source from Autoweek to the racing section. I also removed the notability tag, as I feel that notability has been sufficiently established. If any editors here disagree, feel free to revert and we can discuss it here on the talk page.

Massimiliano Versace

Requested update to lead and sourcing

I am the subject of this article and am requesting changes through the talk page in line with Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest guidance.

I request these changes:

1. Update the lead to reflect my current role at Analog Devices.

2. Replace weak/self-published references where stronger independent sources exist.

3. Restructure the article into a more standard biography format:

* Early life and education

* Academic and research career

* Neurala

* Analog Devices

* Selected honors

Suggested replacement lead:

'''Massimiliano Versace''' (born 21 December 1972) is an Italian-American artificial intelligence researcher and entrepreneur. He co-founded Neurala, a Boston-based artificial intelligence software company, and later became Vice President of Emergent AI at Analog Devices. He previously directed Boston University's Neuromorphics Laboratory.

Reason for request:

The current article appears to rely in part on weak or self-published sourcing and does not reflect my current role.

~~~~ Maxversace72 (talk) 11:55, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Here are sources supporting the requested update:

• Analog Devices identifies me as "Max Versace, Vice President of Emergent AI": https://www.analog.com/en/careers/ai-careers.html
• Boston University Bostonia identifies me as director of BU's Neuromorphics Laboratory: https://www.bu.edu/bostonia/summer13/versace/
• NASA describes Neurala's manufacturing/inspection work as derived from Mars-rover-related AI research: https://www.nasa.gov/technology/tech-transfer-spinoffs/from-mars-rovers-to-factory-assembly-lines/

If helpful, I can propose a more fully sourced revised lead and body outline based on these references.

~~~~ Maxversace72 (talk) 11:57, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. The lead looks good at a glance. If you'd be willing to propose a fully sourced and revised lead, as well as specific changes to the body, that would be very helpful. Cheers, DiscoursesonLivvy (talk · contribs) 01:46, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks you! Below is a fully sourced proposal focused on the lead and a few concrete body changes.

Proposed revised lead:

Massimiliano Versace is an Italian-American artificial intelligence researcher and entrepreneur. He co-founded Neurala and is Vice President of Emergent AI at Analog Devices. He previously directed Boston University's Neuromorphics Lab.

Proposed body changes:

• In the Career section, replace the opening paragraph with:

Versace co-founded Neurala in 2006. A 2017 TechCrunch article about the company's $14 million Series A described Neurala's focus on edge machine learning, and a 2024 NASA Spinoff article described the company's visual-inspection software as having evolved from earlier NASA-funded rover work.

• Also in Career (or in a short new subsection), add:

Analog Devices identifies Versace as Vice President of Emergent AI.

• For the Boston University material, I suggest keeping only the most directly sourced claim:

A 2013 Bostonia profile identified Versace as director of Boston University's Neuromorphics Lab and described the lab's NASA-linked autonomous robotics work.

Source cleanup request:

• Replace current ref 8 (Google News mirror) with the TechCrunch citation above.
• Remove or replace refs 9-12 (YouTube/personal-site sourcing) where they are being used for biographical claims, since stronger sources now exist.
• I have intentionally not proposed changes to the unsourced awards/early-life material in this request, to keep the request narrow and easier to review.

Thank you again.

Prosody (music)

Proposed additions: Definition and constructional elements (COI disclosure and edit request)

Hello. I would like to propose two related additions to the article, one of which responds to the existing assessment note that the article does not clearly define its subject. Per WP:COI, I am disclosing that I am Shane Adams, the author of the book cited as the source. I am not editing the article directly and am requesting that an uninvolved editor review the proposed text and decide whether it is appropriate to include.

My background: I am an associate professor at Berklee NYC and a founding instructor at Berklee Online, and the cited book is published by Berklee Press. The first proposed addition offers a concise definition addressing the article's current lack of one. The second expands coverage of the broad definition of musical prosody (already attributed to Pat Pattison) by enumerating specific constructional elements and providing widely recognized song examples, without duplicating or displacing existing content.

I welcome any edits, trimming, or rewording an uninvolved editor feels would improve neutrality or fit with the rest of the article.

Proposed addition 1: Definition paragraph, to be placed at or near the start of the article

The term prosody, from the Greek prosōidía ("song sung to music"), traditionally describes the alignment of a word's natural linguistic accent with non-textual elements of a musical setting, such as rhythmic and metrical accent and melodic direction. In this narrow sense, a setting exhibits good prosody when stressed syllables of a lyric fall on stressed beats or prominent melodic notes, so that the sung text approximates natural speech. Contemporary songwriting pedagogy has expanded the term to describe the alignment of lyrics with any musical element that contributes to the song's meaning or emotional effect.

Proposed addition 2: New section, to be placed after the existing paragraph citing Pat Pattison

Science of Identity Foundation

Edit suggestions

I have promised to assist SIF in working to improve this article, which I hope to do in collaboration with the engaged editors here. Looking through the article, I believe there are some pretty uncontroversial improvements that could be made. Hence, some suggestions:

1. Infobox

I suggest we start getting the infobox referenced. Suggest to add these references:

• Founder
• Founded at
• Type 501(c)3 organization
• Tax ID
• Headquarters
• Website

References

2. Intro

I suggest we remove "A secretive group," from the introduction, as this general claim is neither referenced there nor covered in the article.

3. Intro

Instead of the phrase "A secretive group", I suggest we add "Since 2019," for context and to avoid wp:recentism.

Looking forward to any questions or concerns so far. Many thanks, /Urbourbo (talk) 10:13, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I agree with the suggestion that instead of the phrase "A secretive group", I suggest we add "Since 2019," for context and to avoid wp:recentism, and as previously mentioned "secretive group," claim is neither referenced there nor covered in the article. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 05:27, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

I've restored "secretive". I agree that it needs to be addressed in the article body. Please read the main references at least. --Hipal (talk) 17:22, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be more in line with WP:LEAD to remove the "secretive" claim as long as it's actually not supported elsewhere in the current version of the article? /Urbourbo (talk) 23:01, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Apologies for my not adding some basic coverage to the article body yet, based upon the main references. It appears to be an aspect of their notability. --Hipal (talk) 18:41, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

I have moved the references for "secretive group" to the article body, and found theology section appropriate.

I have summarized & paraphrazed the relevant content from NY Times: The Science of Identity Foundation, a secretive offshoot of the Hare Krishna movement... Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 02:20, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks both for constructive responses here. Given the strong source support, I can't argue against including "secretive" in the body text, and I appreciate the (indirect) attribution ("has been considered"). However, is it really and objectively a prominent enough trait of the subject to merit inclusion in the lead as well? Perhaps we could reach consensus to satisfy with the mention in the Theology chapter? Thanks, /Urbourbo (talk) 13:50, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Reading up on WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV, I believe that the "secretive group" opinion needs in-text attribution to stay policy compliant. Hence, my suggestion would be to switch the phrase "SIF has been considered a secretive organization" to: "SIF has been considered a secretive organization by authors in The Atlantic and The New York Times".

Also, I can't find support in the references for the second half of that sentence about SIF obfuscating its views. Hence, unless I'm missing anything here it seems we need to remove that part of the sentence, also considering that Butler's relation to islam is already mentioned earlier in the same paragraph. Thanks, /Urbourbo (talk) 13:05, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

I suggest reading more of the sources to start. This article has a long history of editors removing proper sources (See Talk:Science_of_Identity_Foundation#Potential_refs) in order to steer the POV against policy. --Hipal (talk) 17:58, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Well, I used obfuscate is in the context of denying, from the New Yorker article. i can add that ref.

I guess, disavow is better based on the sources. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 21:25, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Circling back to my WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV question here. Any feedback on my suggestion above from May 5 would be appreciated. I believe your responses only related to the second part of my latest message. Thanks, /Urbourbo (talk) 16:07, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Can you be more specific about what statement is your concern, and possible suggestions. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) RogerYg (talk) 16:37, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, happy to clarify. The point I'm trying to make is, that the "secretive" phrase is an opinion rather than factual, and hence needs to be attributed in the text, per WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV. But I'm now realising that in order to suggest more specific wording that makes sense, I need to understand which of the sources that support "disavows" - but some of the sources were paywalled. Any chance you could clarify which source you drew that from? /Urbourbo (talk) 17:51, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi /Urbourbo,

Actually, I agree with you that "secretive group" is more of opinion, rather than factual, and therefore I suggest adding a qualifier: purportedly secretive group

We could also use reportedly or supposedly.

Regarding "disavow", I used the New Yorker article, which mentions that Butler denies the charges of homophobia and Islamophobia.

The New Yorker What Does Tulsi Gabbard Believe? By Kelefa Sanneh, October 30, 2017

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/11/06/what-does-tulsi-gabbard-believe

Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 18:04, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Whose opinion is it, and how is it presented? We should be careful not to change the pov against sources to meet coi requests. --Hipal (talk) 18:28, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Many thanks @RogerYg, to add "purportedly" as per your suggestion sounds like a reasonable solution to me. Would it work to change these phrases:

• "Since 2019, the secretive group has come under [...]"
• "SIF has been considered a secretive organization that disavows [...]"

...to:

• "Since 2019, the purportedly secretive group has come under [...]"
• "SIF is purportedly a secretive organization. They have disavowed [...]"

/Urbourbo (talk) 20:21, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Proposal rejected for reasons stated. This article has a long history of editors attempting to ignore or downplay references. Let's not continue that.

And please review past comments of this very topic. --Hipal (talk) 00:13, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Just to be clear, I have already accepted that several reliable sources have described the organization as secretive. I am not suggesting that these should be ignored or downplayed, and it's good that this is now supported by inline citations.

My suggestion was simply to add attribution in the text so that the characterization is clearly tied to the relevant sources. However, I was also happy with @RogerYg's alternative suggestion to use the word "purportedly" instead, or another similar wording that clarifies that the characterization originates from sources.

I'll leave it to uninvolved editors to determine whether attribution or a similar qualifying formulation would improve the wording. /Urbourbo (talk) 21:13, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

You're both wasting time by ignoring the past discussions. --Hipal (talk) 22:35, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Reliable sources, not anonymous editor's personal views, determine whether content in those sources is factual or opinion. The notion the group is secretive is stated as fact in the sources. Cambial — foliar❧ 23:47, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Regarding my point 1 above on sourcing, I'll add these with a coi edit myself soon unless there are any objections or concerns here. /Urbourbo (talk) 23:01, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Now done. /Urbourbo (talk) 13:50, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

4. Association with Tulsi Gabbard

In this final section, I suggest to repeat the year for the same reasons as above. I.e. at the end of this sentence: "SIF has received a great deal of media coverage due to Tulsi Gabbard's strong ties with the group" add "since 2019". Thanks in advance, /Urbourbo (talk) 14:01, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Okay, yes adding 2019 makes sense. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 06:54, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
