Significant expansion of small article to a neutral standard

edit

Hi,

I work with California YIMBY. We put a lot of time into researching a proper draft description of the organization. I know it needs to be reviewed by an independent editor, and I welcome your feedback.

The entire re-write is here: User:ChuchusGarden/sandbox.

Thank you, ChuchusGarden (talk) 19:35, 16 June 2026 (UTC)


Suggested addition: gulet hull forms and karpuz kıç terminology

edit

I have a conflict of interest because I am affiliated with viravira.co, whose gulet article was previously used as a reference on this page. I am not requesting promotional wording or an external links addition. I suggest adding a short neutral section about gulet hull forms after the “Etymology” section and before “Boat construction in Bodrum”. Rationale: the article currently discusses the history and construction of gulets, but it does not clearly explain the main Bodrum/Blue Voyage hull-form distinctions such as rounded-stern gulets, aynakıç and tırhandil. This can be supported primarily by Bodrum Maritime Museum and a 2024 academic article in A|Z ITU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture. The viravira.co source is suggested only as a supporting source for contemporary Turkish charter terminology such as “karpuz kıç”. Suggested text:


Factual corrections: Infobox and asset list

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with Versant and am not editing directly per WP:COI guidelines.

I wanted to flag several potential factual issues for editor review:

1. Infobox "Owner" field: The infobox lists Brian L. Roberts as "Owner" with a note about 1% equity and 33% voting power. Given that Versant is a publicly traded company with distributed ownership, would "Owner" be the appropriate field label? The voting power detail is accurate, but "Owner" may be misleading for readers. Perhaps this should be reflected differently, or the field removed in favor of noting his role in the "Key people" or body text.

2. IAC Inc. in "See also": IAC Inc. appears in the "See also" section, but I'm not clear on the connection to Versant beyond its role as a distant predecessor company to USA Networks, which was reconstituted into an unrelated holding company in 2002-2003. Is there a current relationship I'm missing, or might this have been added in error?

(Removed items 3 & 4 from my original post, someone already updated these. Thank you!)

Happy to provide additional sourcing if helpful for any of these items. WeekdayUpdate (talk) 19:14, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Partly done: I kept the owner field, as it is used in a similar fashion in other articles (ex: Meta Platforms, Berkshire Hathaway)   MetalBreaksAndBends   (talk) (contribs) 02:46, 5 February 2026 (UTC)


Introduction: Current status and brand overview

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with Versant and am not editing directly per WP:COI guidelines.

Two observations about the lead section for editor consideration:

1. Corporate status: The company completed its spin-off and began trading independently on January 5, 2026. Some of the introduction's framing may still reflect the pre-spin-off period when Versant was being established. Would editors consider reviewing whether the language accurately reflects Versant's current status as an independent public company?

2. Brand/property overview: The lead mentions several key properties (USA Network, MS NOW, CNBC, etc.) but doesn't include the digital properties that are part of the portfolio—Rotten Tomatoes, Fandango, GolfNow, SportsEngine, etc. Per MOS:LEAD, the introduction should summarize the article's most important points. Given that Versant has emphasized its digital assets as part of its strategy, would editors consider whether a brief mention of key digital properties belongs in the lead?

I'm not proposing specific wording given my COI, just flagging these for community consideration. WeekdayUpdate (talk) 19:24, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

I took a look at the lead, in response to the COI request. The final paragraph mixed past and future tense even though the spin-off has already occurred. I adjusted the verbs so that completed actions are in past tense and ongoing are in present tense. No substantive content changes. WhaleFarm (talk) 00:25, 13 March 2026 (UTC)


MS NOW news partnership with Sky News

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with Versant and am not editing directly per WP:COI guidelines. The article's MS NOW section covers the rebrand and programming changes but doesn't mention the multi-year news partnership with Sky News, which began October 1, 2025 — before the spin-off was completed. Under the deal, Sky News provides international reporting to MS NOW through its 11 global bureaus and 500+ journalist team. This was widely covered in trade press:

Variety: "MSNBC, Sky News Strike Deal to Bring Global Reporting to U.S. Audiences" Deadline: "MSNBC Taps Sky News For International Reports As Comcast Spinoff Nears"

The article already notes a similar operational arrangement — the AccuWeather content deal — so this seems consistent with the existing scope. Would an editor consider whether this is appropriate to include? WeekdayUpdate (talk) 03:10, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

USA Sports rights portfolio: WNBA and LOVB deals

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with Versant and am not editing directly per WP:COI guidelines. The article's sports coverage currently notes the USGA championship renewal and Pac-12 five-year partnership. Two additional independently reported rights deals may warrant inclusion:

1. WNBA: In September 2025, Versant announced an 11-year agreement for USA Network to carry WNBA games — including regular season, portions of the Playoffs, and WNBA Finals in select years — beginning with the 2026 season. USA Network will present at least 50 WNBA games annually through 2036.

Deadline: "WNBA, Versant's USA Network Set Expanded Rights Deal Through 2036" CNBC: "Versant adds WNBA media deal to its growing sports portfolio"

2. League One Volleyball: Versant struck a multiyear deal with LOVB for primetime Wednesday broadcasts on USA Network.

CNBC: "Versant strikes multiyear media deal with League One Volleyball"

Both deals were signed independently by Versant (not inherited from NBCUniversal), which distinguishes them as part of the company's post-spin-off sports strategy. Given that the article already covers comparable rights agreements in this section, would editors consider whether these are appropriate to include? WeekdayUpdate (talk) 03:13, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Reply 9-JUN-2026

  Edit request declined  

  • These deals concern USA Network and not Versant per se.
  • There are three different articles: Versant, USA Networks, and USA Sports. If the argument is that Versant is so thoroughly involved in the day to day operations of USA Network and USA Sports, and that their involvement in signing and announcing these deals was inextricable, then why are there three different articles?
  • Either the USA Network is so-linked to its parent and its own programming division that they cannot enter into deals without the others present—so much so that these companies and divisions are virtually indistinguishable from each other requiring the articles to be merged—or else they are three different entities requiring three different articles.
  • This is currently a grey area requiring greater delineation. The minimalist approach would be to choose one article to have this deal remarked upon, rather than two out of three—which might come off as promotional to some editors.

Regards,  Spintendo  10:46, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, Spintendo! I appreciate you weighing in. It does seem the USA Sports page would be the right place for that information. WeekdayUpdate (talk) 20:58, 16 June 2026 (UTC)


Follow-up: IAC Inc. in "See also"

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with Versant and am not editing directly per WP:COI guidelines.

Back in January I raised a few factual items in the "Factual corrections: Infobox and asset list" thread above. Most were resolved (thank you), but one sub-item doesn't appear to have been addressed and I wanted to flag it separately for clarity:

IAC Inc. is listed in the article's "See also" section, but the connection to Versant isn't clear. IAC's only relationship to this corporate lineage appears to run through USA Networks, a distant predecessor that was reconstituted into an unrelated holding company in 2002–2003. There is no current corporate, ownership, or operational relationship between IAC and Versant that I'm aware of.

Per MOS:SEEALSO, "See also" links should have a reasonably close relationship to the topic of the article. Unless an editor sees a connection I'm missing, would it be appropriate to remove the IAC Inc. entry from "See also"? Happy to provide additional detail if useful.

Financial performance: First-year public-company results

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with Versant and am not editing directly per WP:COI guidelines.

The article currently includes no detail on Versant's financial performance since the spin-off, even though the company has now issued two publicly reported earnings releases as an independent company. Independent trade and financial press coverage offers several concrete facts that may warrant a brief addition:

1. Initial standalone earnings (Q4 2025, reported March 2026): In its first earnings release as an independent public company, Versant announced a $1 billion share repurchase authorization alongside an inaugural dividend.

Realscreen: "Versant issues first standalone earnings report, unveils $1 bn share buyback" (March 3, 2026)

Variety: "Versant Says 2025 Profit Fell, Citing Revenue Dips in Advertising, Distribution" (March 5, 2026)

2. Q1 2026 results (reported May 14, 2026): Versant reported Q1 2026 revenue of approximately $1.69 billion (down ~1% year over year) and net income of $286 million (down 22%). Pay-TV distribution revenue declined 7.3% to $1.01 billion, while platforms revenue grew 9% to $192 million.

Wall Street Journal: "Versant Revenue Slides on Lower Subscriber Numbers and Ad Sales" (May 14, 2026)

CNBC: "Versant reports first-quarter revenue decline, with bright spots in platforms and licensing" (May 14, 2026)

Variety: "Versant Q1 Sees Profit Slip On Revenue Dip, Corporate Costs; Non-TV Operations Show Strength" (May 14, 2026)

Given that the article currently has no section or paragraph covering Versant's reported financial results, would editors consider whether a brief Financial Performance section — or a short summary paragraph within an existing section — covering these publicly reported figures is appropriate? I'm raising this as a question rather than proposing specific wording, since placement and level of detail are editor judgment calls. WeekdayUpdate (talk) 20:55, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

 Additional information needed According to COI Use of Images, you need to obtain permission from the owner of the logo before it can be added to the article. You can do this in one of two ways:
  1. License statement on company website: Ask the company to place the logo somewhere on the company's official website. Then, either on the same page or on a separate copyright page on the same website, they should include a statement that the work is released under a suitable free license, for example: "The image of the X Company Logo is released under the Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0." The recommended Creative Commons Attribution License allows the image of the logo to be used by anyone, with or without modifications, and allows commercial use, so long as the original author is credited. Once this is done, we can assist you in uploading the image of the logo.
  2. E-mail permission: Have the owner email permission with a photo of the logo attached to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org stating "I release the attached photo of the logo under the Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0." The email should say that they are the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of the photo of the attached logo (or the logo at https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58d1b3ff1b631bb1893d108d/t/59d1d7a303596e6dea32015e/1506923201611/?format=1500w), and include their full name. It may require several days to process this e-mail - to avoid this delay, use the other method above. Once the photo of the logo is approved, we can assist you in uploading it.

Request edit on 17 June 2026: Remove Unsourced Employee Count

edit

The infobox currently lists "60 [citation needed]" for the number of employees. This figure is both unsourced and outdated. I am requesting that it be removed from the infobox entirely. I am not proposing a replacement figure at this time, as I have not identified a verifiable, independent third-party source that meets Wikipedia's citation standards for this data point. LinkedIn and company-controlled sources are not appropriate citations for this field. Removing an unsourced, flagged figure is a straightforward correction that does not require additional editorial review of the broader article.

Request edit on 17 June 2026: Update History Section (2018–2026)

edit

The article's History section currently ends around 2013–2017, with only a single line noting the 2023 launch of Mixbook Studio. The following is a proposed addition covering notable, independently documented company developments from 2018 through 2026. All claims are sourced to third-party publications.

Proposed addition — to be inserted after the existing 2017 WedPics acquisition paragraph:


In October 2023, Mixbook launched Mixbook Studio, an updated photo book creation platform incorporating AI-powered design tools, including automated layout suggestions and image enhancement capabilities.[1]

In October 2024, Mixbook expanded Mixbook Studio with additional AI-powered features, including AI-generated captions, a caption rewriting tool, automated layouts for photos, and new map styles for location-based customization. The company also introduced Mixbook Movies, a digital companion format that automatically generates an interactive video from a customer's photo book order, allowing customers to share their memories digitally while the physical book is in production and after·.[2][3]

In June 2026, Mixbook launched Story Mode, a prompt-based photo book creation tool built on patent-pending AI technology. The feature allows users to describe a memory or occasion in text, upload photos, and receive a fully designed photo book. The company reported that Story Mode reduced creation time by 3.5 times and cut time to order in half compared to the standard editor. Story Mode launched initially on iOS, with web availability announced as forthcoming.[4][5]


Notes for the editor reviewing this request:


· The 2023 PetaPixel citation (ref 6 in the current article) is already cited in the live article for the Mixbook Studio launch. The proposed new paragraph uses a more complete citation format. ·The Tom's Guide article (Younker, 2024) independently corroborates the Mixbook Movies and AI tools launch.

Request edit on 17 June 2026: Add Reception Section

Mixbook has been independently reviewed and recommended by multiple authoritative consumer publications. Wikipedia articles on comparable companies commonly include a Reception section documenting third-party coverage of this kind. The following is a proposed new section.

Proposed new section — to be inserted after the History section:


Request edit on 17 June 2026: Replace Dead and Low-Quality Citations

edit

Three citations in the current article are either dead links or low-quality sources:

Ref 2 — Currently links to freeenterprise.com (defunct AMEX-sponsored blog). I have searched the Wayback Machine and no archived snapshot exists. Request: Remove this citation and the claim it supports if no independent replacement source can be identified.

Ref 3 — Currently links to blog.mixbook.com (the company's own WordPress blog). This is a primary source being used to support a product launch claim, which weakens citation quality. Request: Replace with independent third-party coverage of the same 2009 photo book editor launch, or remove the specific claim if no independent source can be found.

Ref 9 — Currently links to aabacosmallbusiness.com (dead domain, formerly Yahoo! Small Business), supporting the Citrify acquisition mention. I have searched the Wayback Machine and no archived snapshot exists. Request: Remove this citation and replace with independent news coverage of the Citrify acquisition if available, or remove the claim entirely.


Request edit on 17 June 2026: Add Product Section

The article's lead mentions "photo books, cards, calendars and home decor" but does not describe how the platform works or what the product categories are. Wikipedia articles on comparable companies (e.g., Shutterfly) include this context. The following is a proposed short Products subsection.

Correct lead scope and remove misleading network wording

edit

Paid/COI disclosure: I work for Samsung Medical Center in South Korea in a communications/brand strategy role. Samsung Medical Center is my employer. I am not editing the article directly and am asking independent editors to review this request.

The current lead says that Samsung Medical Center "is composed of Samsung Seoul Hospital, Kangbook Samsung Hospital, Samsung Changwon Hospital, and Samsung Life Sciences Research Center." I believe this wording is misleading for readers because the article topic appears to be the Seoul hospital at 81 Irwon-ro, Gangnam-gu, while Kangbuk Samsung Hospital and Samsung Changwon Hospital are separately listed hospital institutions. The word "Kangbook" is also misspelled.

Could an uninvolved editor please replace the first paragraph:

'''Samsung Medical Center''' ('''SMC'''; [[Korean language|Korean]]<span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko-Hang">삼성의료원</span></span>) is a [[Tertiary referral hospital|tertiary hospital]] located in [[Irwon-Dong]] of [[Gangnam-Gu]], [[Seoul]], [[South Korea]]. SMC is composed of Samsung Seoul Hospital, Kangbook Samsung Hospital, Samsung Changwon Hospital, and Samsung Life Sciences Research Center. SMC was founded on November 9, 1994.

'''Samsung Medical Center''' ('''SMC'''; [[Korean language|Korean]]<span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko-Hang">삼성서울병원</span></span>) is a [[Tertiary referral hospital|tertiary hospital]] in [[Gangnam District]], [[Seoul]], [[South Korea]]. It opened in 1994.

Correct Korean name and infobox image

edit

Paid/COI disclosure: I work for Samsung Medical Center in South Korea in a communications/brand strategy role. Samsung Medical Center is my employer. I am not editing the article directly and am asking independent editors to review this request.

Thank you to Spencer for implementing the previous lead-scope request.

I have a follow-up request about the Korean name and infobox. The article is now correctly described as the hospital in Gangnam District, Seoul, but the Korean name still appears as 삼성의료원 in both the lead and infobox. The infobox also still displays an image and caption for Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, which is a different hospital.

Could an uninvolved editor please make these changes?

1. In the lead, please replace:

{{Korean|hangul=삼성의료원}}

with:

{{Korean|hangul=삼성서울병원}}

2. In the infobox, please replace this line:

| native_name      = 삼성 의료원

with:

| native_name      = 삼성서울병원

3. Please remove these current infobox lines unless editors prefer to replace them later with a freely licensed image of Samsung Medical Center itself:

| image            = Kangbuk Samsung Hospital.JPG
| caption          = Kangbuk Samsung Hospital


Supporting sources:

I am not requesting any promotional wording. This request is only to align the Korean name and infobox media with the article topic. Thank you for reviewing. MaxLee0121 (talk) 02:07, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Just a brief follow-up on this pending COI edit request. If it is easier for an uninvolved editor to review this in parts, the Korean-name correction alone would be helpful as a first step:
  • In the lead, change Korean: 삼성의료원 to Korean: 삼성서울병원.
  • In the infobox, change | native_name = 삼성 의료원 to | native_name = 삼성서울병원.
The image/caption issue can also be reviewed separately if preferred. Thank you. MaxLee0121 (talk) 00:22, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
@MaxLee0121:  Done, amendments made. plicit 06:59, 12 June 2026 (UTC)


Add basic history and operations sections

edit

Paid/COI disclosure: I work for Samsung Medical Center in South Korea in a communications/brand strategy role. Samsung Medical Center is my employer. I am not editing the article directly and am asking independent editors to review this request. Thank you to Spencer and Explicit for reviewing and implementing the earlier requests about the article scope, Korean name, and infobox image. The article is currently very short and still contains only one outdated operational-statistics sentence from 2015. I would like to request a narrow factual update: add short History and Facilities and operations sections, update the infobox staff figure to match the cited annual report, and keep the existing MERS paragraph under its own section heading. The proposed wording uses VISITKOREA, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) for public basic information, and Samsung Medical Center's annual report and official website only for non-evaluative operational facts. I understand that hospital-published sources are self-published, so I am not using them for promotional or evaluative claims. Could an uninvolved editor please make these changes? 1. In the infobox, please replace:

| num_staff        = 6718
| num_staff_year   = 2024

with:

| num_staff        = 7929
| num_staff_year   = 2024

2. Please replace the two short body paragraphs after the lead with the following sectioned text:

Splitting Proposal

edit

As part of my work for Beutler Ink, on behalf of One80, I propose splitting the Philanthropy section of this article into a standalone article called George Kaiser Family Foundation. The current philanthropy section takes up a significant portion of the article, and a good deal is about the foundation's activities, which are not directed by Kaiser. There are many in-depth, third-party sources about the foundation. I have created Draft:George Kaiser Family Foundation to show what an independent article on the foundation could look like. Thanks, Stephanie BINK (talk) 17:40, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Question: The new draft seems okay to me. Would you propose leaving anything in the current section, or removing it entirely? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 18:26, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
Thanks for taking a look at the draft, Likeanechointheforest! I think keep the section, but streamline it significantly so the content is primarily about Kaiser himself, not the foundation. I've made a suggestion for how I think it should look below, let me know your thoughts!
Philanthropy

Kaiser is among those who have made The Giving Pledge, a commitment to give away half of his wealth for charitable purposes.[1][2][3][4] Kaiser is listed third on BusinessWeek's 2008 list of the top 50 American philanthropists, behind Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates.[5][6] An article in Forbes quoted him as saying "Those who have won the ovarian lottery by being born in an advanced society to loving parents have a special obligation to help restore the American Dream."[7]

George Kaiser Family Foundation focuses on early childhood education, economic and community development, maternal and child health, public and charter schools, and criminal justice programs.[8][9][7][10]

Request to updates to Political activities

edit

Hi editors, I would like to discuss the current Political Activities section on this page.

In the first paragraph, the reference uses a link to "Energy Bulletin" but attributes the article to the Wall Street Journal. The article is in fact from the WSJ, but I would like to suggest an updated reference with the correct link and a quote due to the paywall: <ref name="WSJ 2004">{{cite news |no-tracking=true|last1=Gold |first1=Russell |title=A Billionaire Takes a Gamble To Fix Natural-Gas Shortage - WSJ |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB109053110314271493 |access-date=7 May 2026 |work=Wall Street Journal |date=23 July 2004 |quote=Mr. Kaiser has told associates he plans to leave the bulk of his estate to charity. For every $1,000 he has given to Republican politicians, he has given $10,000 to Democrats, according to campaign contribution records.}}</ref> [1]

In the second paragraph, only the first sentence is verified with an NBC source; the second sentence is unreferenced and not verified in the proceeding NBC source. Can editors remove that second sentence: At one 2007 event for Obama, he raised more than $250,000.

The last paragraph had a tag placed in 2011 questioning the reliability of the source used, specifically the post from the nonprofit Sunlight Foundation. The next source, from KRMG Radio relies on that post as well in its reporting. Since this has been unaddressed for more than a decade, how should this be handled?

References

As an added note, in Early life in the second paragraph, it says "George's father". Can this be updated to "Kaiser's father"?

Let me know if there are any questions. Thank you! Stephanie BINK (talk) 18:51, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

  1. The |quote= parameter was not added. (See WP:OVERQUOTING.)
  2. The request to delete the information about the 2007 Obama event fundraiser was not approved, as the claim that the NBC source does not verify it is moot, since the NBC source's ref tag was not placed after the claim's mentioning in the prose. (See WP:TSI.)
  3. The request regarding the placement of the maintenance template in connection with claims made concerning the Sunlight Foundation was declined as not actionable (i.e., a suggested course of action was not proposed). It is recommended that, as a courtesy, the COI editor first try asking the editor who assigned the template — in this case Arxiloxos — in order to find out from them if it can be removed. Since they placed the template, they are in the best position to know whether or not the issues which caused its placement have been corrected. The COI editor can contact them directly by placing a new message on their talk page.
  4. The request to delete the referral to the subject's first name in favor of their last name is  now done.

Request to updates to Banking

edit

Hi editors, I have another request related to the Banking subsection. First, I was wondering if it would be appropriate to either move or remove the content about Kaiser's net worth from this section. While he made money from banking, details about his Forbes ranking and net worth aren’t relevant to his banking career.

Second, the information about BOK is outdated and some of it is unsourced. I would like to know what editors thought about trimming it down to just the details about Kaiser's purchase. Thanks! Stephanie BINK (talk) 21:02, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

== Revised wording to address close-paraphrase concern ==
Thank you Spintendo. You were right — in particular the nuclear-portfolio sentence closely tracked the Swissinfo/Bloomberg article, and I have reworded the affected passages in my own words. Please treat the two replacements below as substitutions into the proposal in the section above; the rest of that proposal is unchanged.
Replace the first paragraph of "Investments in nuclear energy" with:
Aegerter has described his backing of advanced-nuclear ventures as driven by climate concerns rather than returns alone. His firm's nuclear-related holdings span several parts of the sector and have included the reactor developer Oklo, the fusion companies Commonwealth Fusion Systems and Proxima Fusion, the small-reactor firm Last Energy, and the Swedish company Blykalla; an earlier investment was the now-defunct Transatomic Power.[1][2]
Replace the second paragraph of "Investments in nuclear energy" (the Studsvik paragraph) with:
Over the course of 2025 Aegerter built up a holding in Studsvik AB, a Swedish supplier of technical services to the nuclear industry, reaching 29.9 percent by June and becoming its largest single owner. Armada has said it intends to support the company's growth, both internally and through acquisitions. An Armada investment director joined the Studsvik board in April 2025.[2][3][4]
I have also re-read the other passages against their sources and believe they are now in my own words; please let me know if any remain too close. Zurich80 (talk) 08:43, 18 June 2026 (UTC)


Super Nintendo World and the Nintendo partnership

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with NBCUniversal and will not edit the page directly, per WP:COI. Flagging this for editors to weigh; I'm supplying sourced facts rather than proposing wording.

A few observations about how the article covers Nintendo content, offered for editors to judge.

Super Nintendo World currently appears only once in the article — as one of the four worlds inside Universal Epic Universe. But the underlying Nintendo partnership and the dated openings of Super Nintendo World at the other Universal parks aren't mentioned in those parks' own sections, even though each is independently documented. A reader looking at the Universal Studios Japan or Universal Studios Hollywood sections wouldn't learn that a major Nintendo-themed land opened there.

If editors think any of this belongs, here are the facts with independent sourcing. Whether to add it, where, and how to word it would be entirely editors' calls:

  • The Nintendo–Universal partnership was announced in May 2015 and is the basis for all of the Super Nintendo World areas.
"Nintendo and Universal power up for theme park attractions"CNN
  • Universal Studios Japan — Super Nintendo World opened March 18, 2021, the first such land worldwide.
"Super Nintendo World Japan will open in March"Shacknews
  • Universal Studios Japan — Donkey Kong Country — an expansion themed to Donkey Kong opened December 11, 2024.
"USJ's new Donkey Kong Country is a barrel of fun"The Japan Times
  • Universal Studios Hollywood — its Super Nintendo World area opened February 17, 2023.
"Super Nintendo World set to open in February 2023 at Universal Studios Hollywood"The Points Guy
  • Universal Epic Universe — Super Nintendo World is one of the park's worlds; Epic Universe opened May 22, 2025 (already noted in the article).
"Super Nintendo World Confirmed For Universal Orlando Resort"Deadline

Whether any of this is added, and how it's phrased, is up to editors — I'm just supplying the sourced facts and am happy to provide additional independent sources for any item. WP:COI: I have a conflict of interest and will not edit the page directly.

Edit request: Article structure - consolidating scattered content per WP:LAYOUT

edit

COI Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest with this article as I work with NBCUniversal. Per Wikipedia guidelines, I am not editing directly but proposing changes here for community review.


Summary:

I've noticed the History section contains several topics that are scattered across multiple subsections but could be consolidated for better reader navigation, consistent with WP:LAYOUT guidance. This proposal involves reorganizing existing sourced content—not removing information or adding new material.


Observation 1: Sports broadcasting content is fragmented

The article currently mentions sports broadcasting deals in passing within the History narrative, but readers looking for information about NBCUniversal's sports broadcasting would need to search through multiple sections. Comparable articles like The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. Discovery use dedicated sections to consolidate this type of content.

Content that is currently scattered includes:

  • Olympics broadcasting (mentioned briefly but not consolidated)
  • League partnerships

Per WP:STRUCTURE, would editors support consolidating existing sports broadcasting references into a dedicated subsection? This would be a reorganization of existing content for navigation purposes.

Observation 2: Content about creative partnerships could be better organized

For example, the article currently discusses the Amblin Partners relationship in the History section (circa 2015-2017). This is a significant ongoing business relationship that spans film production and distribution. There are similar examples from artists like Tina Fey, Jordan Peele, Jason Blum, Christopher Nolan, and Dick Wolf that readers might find useful under a single subhead.

Would there be interest in whether this type of long-term partnership content would benefit from its own subsection, or should it remain in the chronological History narrative? I'm genuinely asking for community guidance here, as I recognize there are valid arguments for both approaches.


Note: I'm asking for community input on whether these structural changes would improve the article's navigation, not requesting specific wording. Happy to defer to whatever approach editors prefer. WeekdayUpdate (talk) 18:25, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Factual update: Outdated ownership stakes in introduction

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with NBCUniversal and am not editing directly.

The introduction currently states that NBCUniversal has "ownership stakes in Snap Inc. and Vox Media." My understanding is that NBCUniversal has divested these positions.

Would an editor consider updating or removing this reference? I can provide sourcing for when these stakes were sold if that would be helpful. WeekdayUpdate (talk) 18:31, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

I found a citation showing that NBCUniversal sold its stake in Snap Inc., but could not find a similar citation about Vox Media. CornerLitTweak (talk) 05:12, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for finding the Snap citation. Regarding the Vox Media stake — there's been a development since this was originally posted. When Comcast completed its separation of Versant Media Group in January 2026, the Vox Media ownership stake transferred to Versant along with other digital assets (Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, etc.). Multiple trade sources have since confirmed this:
Since NBCUniversal no longer holds this stake, the reference to Vox Media in the introduction appears to be outdated. Combined with the Snap divestiture you already confirmed, would an editor consider removing or updating these ownership references in the lead section? WeekdayUpdate (talk)

"Possible acquisition of Paramount Skydance" section — WP:CRYSTAL concern

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with NBCUniversal and am not editing directly.

The "Possible acquisition of Paramount Skydance" subsection currently contains two items, both describing events that have not occurred. The sources cited attribute the claims to unnamed industry analysts and use speculative language ("may try to merge," "may merge to bolster"). No acquisition has been announced, no regulatory filing exists, and no official negotiations have been confirmed by either party.

Per WP:CRYSTAL, Wikipedia generally avoids presenting speculation about future events as encyclopedic content. I'd also note that comparable articles (The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Discovery) do not include standalone subsections for rumored acquisitions that remain unconfirmed.

Would an editor consider whether this subsection meets the threshold for inclusion under WP:CRYSTAL? If there's consensus that the coverage is notable enough to retain, a single sentence within the broader restructuring context might be more proportionate than a dedicated subsection.

Sports section: possible overview and some missing rights agreements

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with NBCUniversal and will not edit the page directly.

A couple of observations about the Sports section, offered for editors to weigh — I'm not proposing specific wording, just flagging the gaps and providing sources for whoever decides to take this on.

First, the section currently opens with early newsreel and experimental-broadcast history and then lists individual rights deals, with no short overview to orient the reader on how NBCUniversal's sports operations are structured today. Editors may wish to consider whether a brief lead sentence would help, along the lines of how The Walt Disney Company and Fox Corporation summarize their sports arms before getting into specifics. I'll leave whether to add one, and how to phrase it, entirely to editors.

Second, several major properties NBCUniversal currently holds national U.S. rights to are not mentioned in the section. If editors think any of these belong, here are the facts with independent sourcing — the wording and level of detail would be theirs to decide:

  • Major League Baseball — returns to NBC and Peacock for the 2026 season under a three-year agreement (2026–28), taking over Sunday-night and Wild Card Series coverage; reported as NBC's first regular MLB coverage in decades.
"MLB finalizes national TV broadcast deals with ESPN, NBC, Netflix"CBS Sports
"MLB Finalizes Short-Term TV Rights Deals, Adds NBC and Netflix"Front Office Sports
  • NASCAR — under media rights agreements running 2025 through 2031, NBC carries the closing stretch of the NASCAR Cup Series season, including the playoffs and championship race.
"NASCAR announces new media rights deal for 2025 and beyond"CBS Sports
  • Big Ten football — beginning in 2023, NBC carries a Big Ten Conference football package ("Big Ten Saturday Night") on NBC and Peacock under a seven-year agreement running through 2029–30.
"Big Ten completes 7-year, $7 billion media rights agreement with Fox, CBS, NBC"ESPN
"Big Ten reaches seven-year media rights deal with CBS, Fox and NBC through 2029-30"CBS Sports
  • Notre Dame football — NBC has carried Notre Dame home football games since 1991, with the partnership extended through the 2029 season.
"Notre Dame football extends TV deal with NBC through 2029"ESPN
"Notre Dame Looks to Maintain Independence with NBC Extension"Sportico
  • Golf (USGA championships) — NBC is the broadcast home of the U.S. Open and other USGA championships, under an agreement that the USGA and NBCUniversal extended through 2032.
"USGA sticks with NBC for coverage of U.S. Open"ESPN
"USGA strikes media rights deal with NBC and Versant through 2032"Golf Digest

Whether to add any of this, how much to include, and how to word it is up to editors — I'm just supplying the sourced facts. Happy to provide additional independent sources for any item on request. Flagging WP:COI: I have a conflict of interest and will not edit the page directly.

Organization question: production-partnership content, with examples

edit

Question for editors about where the article handles NBCUniversal's standing production relationships.

Content about Universal's long-running relationships with filmmakers and television producers is currently spread across the History section and the infobox. The Amblin Partners formation, the 2017 minority stake in Amblin, and the DreamWorks Animation acquisition sit chronologically within History, while the Amblin and Blumhouse stakes also appear in the Brands list of the infobox. A reader trying to understand how Universal works with outside creators has to assemble it from several places.

For consistency with comparable articles — Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Skydance both group recurring studio and producer relationships rather than scattering them through the chronology — would it make sense to add a dedicated subsection that consolidates this material? On the heading, I'd defer to editors; something neutral such as Production partnerships is probably more appropriate under WP:NPOV than anything more elaborate. Whether to create it, where to place it, and what to call it would be editors' calls — I'm raising it rather than prescribing it.

To show the kind of material that already exists and could sit together, here are several relationships, each with independent sourcing. I'm not proposing wording — just offering the sourced facts so editors can judge what, if anything, belongs and how to phrase it:

  • Steven Spielberg / Amblin Partners — NBCUniversal holds a minority stake in Amblin Partners (acquired 2017), and Universal/Focus Features distributes Amblin's films under a partnership first announced in 2015. (Already cited in the article's History section.)
  • Dick Wolf / Wolf Entertainment — overall deal with Universal Television spanning nearly 40 years; produces the Law & Order, One Chicago and FBI franchises. The deal was extended in 2023 through 2027.
"With Nine Shows on the Air, Dick Wolf Extends Overall Deal at Universal Television Through 2027"Variety
"Dick Wolf Extends Universal TV Overall Deal"The Hollywood Reporter
  • Tina Fey / Little Stranger — overall deal with Universal Television and a first-look deal with Universal Pictures dating to 2016; recent and continuing work for NBCUniversal platforms including Peacock.
"Tina Fey's Little Stranger Inks First-Look Deal With Universal"Variety
"Lang Fisher & Tina Fey Adapting 'Finlay Donovan Is Killing It' For Peacock"Deadline
  • Jordan Peele / Monkeypaw Productions — first-look deal with Universal Pictures signed in 2017 and extended in 2019, under which Universal released Get Out, Us and Nope.
"Jordan Peele Inks Rich Five-Year First-Look Deal With Universal"The Hollywood Reporter
  • Christopher Nolan / Syncopy — Universal released Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023) and is distributing his next film, The Odyssey (2026).
"Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' News: Everything We Know So Far"Deadline
The Odyssey (2026 film) — Wikipedia

Whether any of this is added, how much, and how it's worded would be entirely up to editors. If the structural change is agreeable, I'm happy to provide additional independent sources or a fuller list in a follow-up so each item can be evaluated on its own merits. Flagging WP:COI: I have a conflict of interest and will not edit the page directly.

Theme-park segment: brief mention of the Nintendo partnership?

edit

COI Disclosure: I work with NBCUniversal and will not edit the page directly, per WP:COI.

A small question for editors about the theme-park coverage on this page.

The article's treatment of Universal's theme-park operations is brief, and one independently-documented item isn't mentioned: the partnership between Nintendo and Universal (announced May 2015) that produced the Super Nintendo World areas now open at Universal Studios Japan, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Epic Universe. Comparable corporate articles tend to note major IP partnerships of this scale within the relevant segment.

For consistency, would it make sense to add a brief, neutral mention — a sentence or so — in the Universal Destinations & Experiences context, cross-linking to Super Nintendo World so the detail sits on those articles rather than here? I'd defer entirely to editors on whether to add it and how to phrase it. Independent sourcing for the partnership:

"Nintendo and Universal power up for theme park attractions"CNN

I'm happy to provide independent sources for the individual park openings if useful. WP:COI: I have a conflict of interest and will not edit the page directly.

Early life

edit

Hello! On behalf of Atria Health and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I am submitting a series of COI edit requests in an attempt to improve this biography from a Wikipedia perspective. I've disclosed my COI at the top of this page and on my profile. I've saved an expanded and updated draft here, which I will be referencing in my requests. I'll be submitting requests to propose changes bit by bit, but wanted to share the full draft for transparency. To start, I'd like to suggest expanding the Education section to also include a summary of the subject's early life. Here's proposed text for a first paragraph in the expanded Early life and education section:

  • Poland's father was a career officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. Poland became interested in medicine at the age of four, when his finger was severed by a closing door and reattached. He and his mother and siblings were in Hawaii at the time, as his father was stationed there. In his youth, Poland had a chemistry set, learned how to make gunpowder for launching rockets, dissected small animals, and studied his own blood under a microscope.[1] During high school, he was a janitor at a medical building, where he borrowed medical texts and reagents from physicians.[1]

My goal for this request is to expand the biography with missing information about his early life. I don't think any of the claims are particularly contentious and I've highlighted this text in the draft in green if the context is helpful.

If editors agree this is an improvement, could someone update the article on my behalf? I generally avoid editing the main space because of my COI. Thanks in advance for any help! Inkian Jason (talk) 18:53, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

  • The provided source is an interview with the subject himself, where he waxes nostalgic about events in his past which shaped his career choices. While those facts are undoubtedly important to him in defining his life journey, nostalgia is not really encyclopedic in nature.

Education

edit

Related to the Education section, I would like to offer replacement text for the current paragraph covering the subject's educational background. The current text has an incorrect date and uses a couple less than ideal sources.

Following is a copy of the current text:

You can see how this fits into the overall draft here. If editors agree this is an improvement, I'd appreciate an update on my behalf since I avoid editing in the main space. Thanks again! Inkian Jason (talk) 19:01, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

edit

🔼  Clarification requested  

  • The list of publications in which the subject is author ought to be commensurate with the length of the article, or alternatively, those publications mentioned by an independent WP:RS. Accordingly, please choose the 3 most important / significant to be listed.
  • When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change {{Edit COI}} answer parameter to read from |ans=y to |ans=n.

Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  15:59, 26 May 2026 (UTC)


Personal life

edit

Continuing my work on this biography, I'd like to suggest adding a Personal life section with the following content:

  • Poland met his wife at IWU in 1975.[1] Poland is also the assistant pastor of a Presbyterian church in Florida.[2]

References


My goal for this request is to update the biography with missing information about his relationship status and work outside medicine. I don't think this is a particularly contentious addition, but I avoid editing the main space because of my COI and seek help from others to update the entry on my behalf.

Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 12:56, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

  • As the subject's primary notability extends from his work on vaccines, information on the church he ministers at is not germane.

Honors and awards

edit

Continuing my work on this biography, I'd like to suggest replacing the content in Honors and awards, which is currently sourced to an official website and a speaker biography, with the following:

If editors consider this a stronger summary of recognition based on higher quality sources, then I am hoping someone can update the article on my behalf. As a reminder, I am submitting COI edit requests based on this draft, if you're interested in seeing how this content fits into the full biography.

Thanks in advance! Inkian Jason (talk) 15:12, 18 June 2026 (UTC)


Career: paragraph 1

edit

Currently, this biography has some information about the subject's career in the Introduction that's left out of the article body. In my full draft, I've proposed an updated and expanded Career section for review.

I've drafted three paragraphs about the subject's career, based on Wikipedia-appropriate sources, but I will submit one request for each paragraph to avoid asking editors to review too much content at once. Following is the first paragraph for consideration, which does not duplicate any information in the article body of the live entry:

  • Poland is a vaccinologist and expert in the prevention of infectious diseases.[1] He became a physician in 1980.[2] Poland is a professor of medicine, infectious diseases, molecular pharmacology, and experimental therapeutics at Mayo Clinic. He founded and directs Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group, which the SIUSOM has said "created the field of viral vaccine immunogenetics and the immune response network theory, helping develop novel vaccines important to public health".[3][4] He is the co-director of the Atria Research and Global Health Institute.[5] Poland has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for his research on vaccines since 1991.[6]

I'll leave it to others to decide if the current Research and activism and Department of Defense sections should be merged into a more general Career section. My goal for this request is to make the biography more complete and up to date. I generally avoid editing the main space and ask editors to update the article appropriately.

Thank you! Inkian Jason (talk) 15:39, 18 June 2026 (UTC)


Career: paragraph 2

edit

As mentioned above and seen in this full draft, I am sharing three paragraphs about the subject's career in an attempt to make this biography more complete and up to date. Following is the second paragraph:

  • Poland has been a medical advisor to four U.S. presidents,[1] including Joe Biden. World has credited him for providing "consultative advice to nearly every Western vaccine manufacturer", including Moderna and Pfizer.[2] He has advocated for mandatory influenza vaccination of health care personnel.[3] He also coined the terms "cryptic adverse events",[4] "vaccinomics",[5] and "adversomics".[6] As of 2021, Poland and his daughter Caroline, who is a licensed mental health counselor, have been studying ways to improve COVID-19 and other vaccine acceptance.[7] In 2025, Poland said the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System should be strengthened and "large, ongoing studies are needed to help researchers work out who is at increased risk of vaccine injuries and how to reduce that risk", according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.[8]

While vaccinomics has been more focused on vaccine effectiveness, the field of adversomics was again first introduced by Poland, this time in 2009, and this is more concerned about the side effects of vaccines.

I should note that this proposed text duplicates the claims made about the Health Defense Board and the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board in the live Department of Defense section, but I'm not sure the current text "This board answers to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs" is worth keeping since it is not about the subject. This proposed addition summarizes various roles the subject has held, including editor-in-chief of a notable medical journal, board positions, and other memberships. If editors find these claims helpful for his biography, I'd appreciate if someone could update the article on my behalf because of my COI.

Edit request: infobox AUM and industry update

edit

Please update the infobox:

1. Change the industry field from:

  Venture capital
  to:
  Venture capital, growth equity, private credit

2. Change the AUM field from:

  US$8.5 billion (2025)
  to:
  US$10 billion (2026)

Source for AUM: "DBS Enters Investment Partnership With Granite Asia", WealthBriefing, February 2026. Source for industry expansion: "Singapore's Granite Asia announces $250M first anchor close of private credit strategy", TechNode Global, 8 May 2025.

Thanks! Isabella4440 (talk) 20:49, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

1. Industry (venture capital, growth equity, private credit).  Done. I cited Reuters (December 2025)
2. AUM (US$8.5 billion → US$10 billion).  Not done yet — one adjustment for accuracy I would like your feedback on. Reuters (which cites the company's own statement in a February 2026 report) describes the US$10 billion as "assets under management and co-managed capital," which reads differently from a straight AUM figure. For context, Reuters reported in December 2025 that the firm managed "about $6 billion across venture, growth and credit strategies," so the jump to $10 billion over roughly ten weeks reflects the addition of co-managed capital to the total. To match the sources, I would propose the field read "US$10 billion (AUM and co-managed capital, 2026)" rather than "US$10 billion (2026)" on its own.
If you would prefer the field to show managed assets only, US$6 billion is the most recent figure I found from a reliable source. Let me know if you have a preference, since either option I proposed would technically be accurate.

Edit request: expand lead paragraph

edit

Please replace the current lead paragraph:

Granite Asia is an Asian venture capital firm that is headquartered in Singapore. It was formed in 2024 after GGV Capital split up its Asia and U.S. operations.

with the following expanded version:

Granite Asia is an Asian venture capital firm that is headquartered in Singapore. It invests across venture capital, growth equity, and private credit, with a geographical focus on Southeast Asia, China, Japan, South Asia and Australia.[1] It was formed in 2024 after GGV Capital split up its Asia and U.S. operations into two separate successor firms. The firm is led by Senior Managing Partners Jenny Lee and Jixun Foo, who together have over two decades of investment experience in Asia.[2] As of 2026, Granite Asia manages approximately US$10 billion in assets under management.[3]

Updating the History section

edit

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.[4][5]
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.[5]
  • 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.[5]
  • 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.[6]

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)


Asset management CEO update

Hello. Please update the "Asset management" section to include that in December 2025, Christopher Hogbin was appointed CEO of Lazard Asset Management. [1][2]

Notable current and former employees section

edit

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

edit

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.[1] 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.

Thank you. Fvfnyc (talk) 23:15, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Campbell Lutyens

Hello. I would like to suggest the following addition to the end of the History section:

In April 2026, Lazard announced it would acquire Campbell Lutyens for $575 million, creating Lazard CL, a private capital advisory platform that will become the firm’s third global business. [1]

Edit request: September 2025 AI Discovery launch

edit

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.[1] 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.[1][2]
