San Clemente, Venice


Proposed neutral update to current use and location wording

edit

I have a disclosed professional connection with San Clemente Palace Venice and would like to propose a neutral, sourced update to the article. I am not requesting promotional language; the aim is to make the current-use wording more accurate, concise and encyclopedic.

Suggested change: Please replace the current final paragraph of the History section with the following wording:

The church was restored in 2003 as part of a wider project that adapted the adjacent buildings for hotel use. The complex now forms part of San Clemente Palace Venice on San Clemente Island, in the Venetian Lagoon. The hotel’s published visitor information describes a scheduled boat connection between San Clemente Island and San Marco of approximately 10 minutes. In 2013, Permak Group acquired the property and announced a further renovation programme for the complex.

Reason: The proposed wording keeps the focus on verifiable facts: restoration, present use, location, connection to San Marco, ownership change and preservation of the historic complex. It avoids promotional language such as “private island”, “luxury retreat”, “hidden paradise” or broad size-based marketing claims, while still giving readers a clearer understanding of the site’s current role within Venice.

Suggested sources:

Request to update/expand article sections and sources

edit

I would like to request the following changes and expansions to the article. I have a conflict of interest, so I am requesting review by an uninvolved editor rather than editing the article directly. The proposed changes are supported by the sources listed below.

1. Update the lead section

edit

I would like to request the following changes to the lead section:

2. Update the Cast section

edit

I would like to request the following additions to the cast section:

3. Add a new section: Production

edit

Please consider adding the following section:

Thomas More Society


Add Mirabelli v. Bonta to litigation section

edit

Disclosure: I am an employee of Thomas More Society and am disclosing this in accordance with Wikipedia's paid-contribution disclosure requirement. I am not editing the article directly; I am proposing this addition for review by an uninvolved editor.

Proposed addition: The article does not currently mention Mirabelli v. Bonta, a case in which Thomas More Society served as counsel and which reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 2026. I propose adding the following paragraph to the section covering the firm's education-related litigation, after the existing paragraph on the Aztec and Ashe prayers settlement: In Mirabelli v. Bonta, Thomas More Society represented two California teachers and a group of parents challenging school district and state policies that limited disclosure to parents about students' gender identity at school. In December 2025, U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez issued a class-wide permanent injunction against the policies. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stayed the injunction in January 2026. On March 2, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6–3 per curiam ruling on its emergency docket, vacated the Ninth Circuit's stay, holding that the parents were likely to succeed on Free Exercise Clause and Due Process Clause claims. Justice Barrett wrote a concurrence joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh; Justice Kagan wrote a dissent joined by Justice Jackson. On March 17, 2026, the Ninth Circuit denied California's request to narrow the Supreme Court's ruling. Sources: Mark Lieberman, "Supreme Court Backs Parents in School Gender Disclosure Fight," Education Week (March 3, 2026): https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/supreme-court-backs-parents-in-school-gender-disclosure-fight/2026/03 "Supreme Court ruling in gender identity case favors parents but could test schools," Chalkbeat (March 7, 2026): https://www.chalkbeat.org/2026/03/07/supreme-court-gender-identity-ruling-favors-parents-but-challenges-schools/ Mirabelli v. Bonta, 607 U.S. ___ (2026), per curiam, available at https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/607/25a810/ SCOTUSblog case file, Mirabelli v. Bonta: https://www.scotusblog.com/cases/case-files/mirabelli-v-bonta/ Rationale: Mirabelli v. Bonta is a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in which Thomas More Society served as counsel of record on the emergency application. It received national coverage in independent education trade press, has a published opinion, and is tracked on SCOTUSblog. The article currently includes several cases of lesser national profile in which the firm participated, so omitting a Supreme Court matter the firm directly litigated leaves a notable gap. I have drawn the wording from independent sources rather than the firm's own materials and have used neutral terminology. Thank you for considering this request. KPWriter (talk) 14:56, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the disclosure. I have added a template above your request that will put it on a list of requested edits that will be seen by those not usually editing this page - they aren't likely to get to it quickly, and it's more likely that someone who regularly edits this page will take it on first, but that's a backstop measure to make sure it doesn't fall completely through the crakcs. I will note that while you suggested that this go in the "Education" section, it would be at least as good a fit in the "LGBT issues" section. I am not adding it at this point because, before addition as submitted based primarily on education-related sources, an editor should look for sources coming from other angles such as those concerned with LGBT issues regarding how the case is cast. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 15:37, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Edit Request: Updating filmography and current production status

edit

Hello. I have a professional connection to Chilekotha Films and Niamul Mukta, so I am submitting this edit request here on the Talk page rather than editing the article directly, in compliance with Wikipedia's COI guidelines.

I would like to request an update to the biography and filmography section to accurately reflect the current status of his projects, using standard neutral language as pointed out by reviewers.

Could an independent editor please update the page with the following factual details?

  • Boiddo: The psychological thriller starring Mosharraf Karim has completed post-production and is awaiting release.
  • Cholonbiler Manik: This project is a recipient of the official government film grant (Sorkari Onudan) and is currently in its shooting phase.

Please let me know what specific reliable secondary sources (https://online92-bn.thedailystar.net/entertainment/tv-movies/dhallywood/news-385446 https://www.prothomalo.com/amp/story/entertainment/tv/59b57jxpdv https://samakal.com/entertainment/article/242015/%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%87-%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%AA-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0) you need me to provide here to verify these two current production statuses so the filmography table can be updated cleanly without removing any existing citations. Thank you for your guidance! Sonet42 (talk) 16:40, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

@Sonet42:, thanks for the disclosure. I reformatted the filmography so it will be easier to add your request. However, prior to being able to do so, can you supply sources showing the release dates of the films? The sources show the one receiving a grant but no real information about either. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:16, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

  Unable to review  
Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly.

  1. The citation style predominantly used by the Michael Jones article appears to utilize ref tags. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.[a] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, the use of ref tags.
  2. These ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.)

In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards,  Spintendo  18:44, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Notes

  1. ↑ The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.

edit

The larger issues here are the use of Companies founded when not all of the information under Companies founded are actually companies that the subject founded. A large portion of them are ones where he effected an advisory role, a phrase which itself is non-descriptive. Better context should be provided as to what the subject did in each instance, and how their role was pivotal to these companies being both founded and "advised" by the subject. Without that information, this is simply a recounting of the subject's work history, which would fall under WP:NOTRESUME. Regards,  Spintendo  06:02, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

  Clarification requested  

  • Thank you for providing clarification, it is much appreciated.
  • Unfortunately however, although the added clarifications state developments which occurred within each respective organization during the time the subject worked there, those clarifications do not state specifically what it was about the subject's role in those organizations which merits the information being placed in this article. Please elaborate by stating how and in what way their role in those organizations either led to those developments or enabled those developments to take place.
  • Additionally, the claim regading Myspace could not be added to the article because a specific timeframe was not described in the suggested prose.

Hi there, is it possible to make a couple of edits?

  1. Add Liquid Death to this sentence in the Business Career --> Science Inc. section? Other startups that have come from Science include Liquid Death, DogVacay, Hello Society, HomeHero, FameBit, Delicious, Playhaven, Kyoku, and Quarterly.[1][2][3]
  2. Remove the maintenance template about bare URLs because I think the bare URLs have been removed?

Thank you so much!

  • Specific text to be added or removed: Change 3rd sentence to:

Jones was named one of Los Angeles's 500 most influential people by the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2014, 2017 and 2020 - 2024.[10][11][12][13][14]

This award seems rather WP:UNDUE for one of two sentences in the lead. I have removed it altogether as I don't see an obvious place in the body for it to go, please feel free to suggest a wording/location in a followup request. Rusalkii (talk) 08:02, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Gotcha! Would it be ok to add this to the bottom of the Science Inc. section?
Due to his role at Science, Jones was named one of Los Angeles's 500 most influential people by the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2014, 2017 and 2020 - 2024.[15][16][17][18][19]
Wikidelrey (talk) 21:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC) Wikidelrey (talk) 21:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Okay, on reflection I think this is probably inappropriate anywhere, using the rule of thumb that an award is WP:DUEWEIGHT to include if it has its own Wikipedia page. It appears to have been originally added by an IP in 2017 that also added a bunch of promotional cruft. Rusalkii (talk) 22:54, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Donald Machholz Death Location

edit

My husband’s page has the incorrect death location.

I am Michele Machholz, spouse of Donald Machholz, astronomer and visual comet discoverer.

He died in our home in Wikieup, Arizona where we resided together.

Please help correct.

Here is supporting documentation of death location: https://astronomy.com/news/2022/08/donald-machholz-prolific-comet-hunter-dies-at-age-69

Thank you. MicheleMachholz (talk) 13:50, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Donald (Don) Machholz, an amateur astronomer who co-invented the Messier marathon and visually discovered 12 comets that now bear his name, died early yesterday morning (Aug. 9) at his home — called “Stargazer Ranch” — in Wikieup, Arizona. He was 69 years old.

Proposed addition to Career section (sourced)

edit

I am proposing the addition of the following sentence to the Career section, immediately after the opening sentence (“He spent more than 9,000 hours comet hunting…”): From 1978 to 2000, Machholz authored a monthly column titled Comet Comments for the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO), which was distributed internationally to astronomy clubs and individual observers. Source: Jake Parks, “Donald Machholz, comet hunter and co-inventor of Messier marathon, dies at age 69,” Astronomy, August 10, 2022. I have a declared conflict of interest as Machholz’s spouse and am therefore requesting review and placement by an independent editor. MicheleMachholz (talk) 02:37, 29 December 2025 (UTC)


Edit request: clarification of comet discovery terminology

edit

Request:

Request: Multiple reliable independent sources describe Donald Machholz as a “visual comet discoverer,” including Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, EarthSky, and Space.com. In astronomical literature, this terminology distinguishes direct visual comet discovery from discoveries made through automated survey programs. I am requesting that this terminology be reflected in the lead and career summary for factual and technical accuracy.

Proposed wording: “Donald Machholz was an American visual comet discoverer and amateur astronomer.”

Examples of source language:

  • Sky & Telescope: “one of the world’s leading visual comet discoverers”
  • EarthSky: “visual comet discoverer”
  • Space.com: “comet observer” and discussion of visual comet hunting
  • Astronomy Magazine: “comet hunter”

Sources:

Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest as Machholz’s spouse and am therefore requesting review and implementation by an independent editor. MicheleMachholz (talk) 01:07, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Conflict of interest declaration: I am Steven Jackson OBE, the founder of Recycling Lives. I have made a full conflict of interest disclosure on my user page at User:Maperouze. Per WP:COI I am not editing the article directly. I am posting the proposed updates below for independent editors to consider. Every proposed change is supported by independent secondary sources and by the public record at Companies House.

The current article is materially out of date. The most significant issues are:

  1. It still describes me as the company's "current chief executive". I stepped down as Chairman of the group in October 2020 and exited the group fully in 2020, selling all my shares in the commercial entities and resigning as trustee and member of the charity. I have had no role with the brand since.
  2. It gives a turnover figure of approximately £25 million and an employee count of around 200, both of which had grown substantially by 2018–2019.
  3. It omits the company's third and fourth Queen's Awards for Enterprise, the EY UK Entrepreneur of the Year award (2019), the 2018 Three Hills Capital Partners investment, and the 2020 leadership transition.
  4. The founding chronology can be tightened with reference to Companies House: the charity entity (Recycling Lives Charity, Companies House 05781363) was incorporated on 13 April 2006; the integrated social-enterprise model that the press most commonly dates to 2008 was the consolidation of the charity with the commercial recycling business.

Proposed change 1: Lead paragraph

edit

Current text:

"Recycling Lives Limited is a British recycling and waste management company headquartered in Preston, Lancashire... [Steven Jackson, OBE and current chief executive, founded the company]."

Proposed text:

"Recycling Lives is a British social-enterprise group combining a commercial recycling and waste management business with a registered charity supporting ex-offenders and people experiencing homelessness, headquartered in Preston, Lancashire. The group's charity entity, Recycling Lives Charity, was incorporated on 13 April 2006,[4] and the integrated social-enterprise model under which the commercial business funded the charity's work was launched in 2008. The group was founded by Steven Terence Jackson OBE, who exited the group fully in 2020. By 2018 the group reported sales of £75 million and pre-tax profits of £7.3 million,[5] employing approximately 400 staff across 19 sites nationally, of whom around 40 per cent were ex-offenders.[5][6] Recycling Lives has received four Queen's Awards for Enterprise across the Sustainable Development and Promoting Opportunity categories, and its founder was named EY UK Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019.[7]"

Proposed change 2: New "Recognition" section

edit

Add a new section after "Charity":

==Recognition==
Recycling Lives has received four Queen's Awards for Enterprise:
  • 2010 — Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development[8]
  • 2014 — Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development[8]
  • 2018 — Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade[8]
  • 2019 — Queen's Award for Enterprise: Promoting Opportunity through Social Mobility[8]
The group's founder, Steven Terence Jackson, was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to employment and the community in Lancashire,[9][10] and was named EY UK Entrepreneur of the Year in November 2019, going on to represent the United Kingdom at the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year final in Monaco in 2020.[5][7]

Proposed change 3: New "Investment, founder exit and leadership transition" subsection

edit

Add to the company history section:

===Investment, founder exit and leadership transition (2018–2020)===
In late 2018, the private equity firm Three Hills Capital Partners invested more than £50 million for a 21 per cent stake in Recycling Lives.[5] In October 2020, founder Steven Jackson stepped down as Chairman and chief executive William Fletcher MBE also departed; Andrew Hodgson, formerly head of finance for manufacturing at BAE Systems Samlesbury, was appointed executive chairman.[6][11] Jackson exited the group fully in 2020, selling all of his shares in the commercial entities and resigning as trustee and member of the charity.

I am happy to respond to questions about any of these proposed changes here on the Talk page. Thanks to any reviewing editor for considering. Maperouze (talk) 10:04, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

@Maperouze:, I will allow another editor to review your third request, but the first two are promotional. The first has tone issues as it is written in a manner that promotes the charity. The second is a list of awards that are industry or governmental awards. We try to avoid these for company pages. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:20, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

INTRO: FOURTH PARAGRAPH, FIRST SENTENCE ADD LINK TO: "The company’s Insurance Services Office (ISO) subsidiary..." SOURCE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance_Services_Office

  •  Not done Wikipedia doesn't allow for external links in the body of the article. CorporateM (Talk) 06:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

INTRO: LAST PARAGRAPH, LAST SENTENCE Add this sentence about Verisk’s latest acquisition to end of paragraph: “In 2012, Verisk acquired Argus Information & Advisory Services, a premier provider of information, competitive benchmarking, scoring solutions, analytics, and customized services to financial institutions and regulators in North America, Latin America, and Europe.” SOURCE http://www.verisk.com/Press-Releases/2012/Verisk-Analytics-to-Acquire-Argus-Information-and-Advisory-Services.html

  •  Not done Can you provide an independent secondary source? Any established news publications would do, for example. Also, language like "solutions", listing out each country it serves and providing a long list of services offered are all too promotional. Just saying they acquired an analytics company is adequate. CorporateM (Talk) 06:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Bristol


COI Edit Request 3 May 2026

edit

Proposed addition to the Arts section.

The culture section does not currently mention Encounters Film Festival which is a significant part of Bristol's screen culture. Not sure if it would be best listed under Arts or Media but would appreicate it if an independent editor could take a look. Encounters is recognised around the world and has been running for over 30 years.

Here's a suggested addition:

"Bristol is also home to Encounters Film Festival, the UK's longest-running international short film festival, which has launched the careers of filmmakers including Lynne Ramsay, Julia Ducournau and Charlotte Wells, and has welcomed guests including Hayao Miyazaki, Charlie Kaufman, Michel Gondry and Matt Groening.[1][2]"

Declared COI: I am the Executive Director of Encounters Film Festival. DaveTaylorMatthews (talk) 19:06, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Tado°

Hello, I am affiliated with tado° GmbH and am disclosing this per WP:PAID. The current article has not been substantially updated since 2017 and containa outdated information. I am requesting that an independent editor review the following changes. All claims are sourced to third-party publications. I understand that editors may modify, condense, or decline parts of this request and am happy withy any small update possible.

Infobox

edit

Industry — change from "Home automation" to "Home energy management"


Lead paragraph

edit

Current text: "tado° GmbH is a German technology company headquartered in Munich (Germany) and a manufacturer of home thermostats and air conditioning controls."

Proposed replacement:

tado° GmbH is a German home energy management company headquartered in Munich.[3] The company develops smart thermostats, smart air conditioning controls, heat pump optimization and energy management software.[4] tado° was founded in Munich by Christian Deilmann, Johannes Schwarz and Valentin Sawadski in 2011.[5] Panasonic Corporation is a strategic investor in the company.[6] As of March 2026, tado° reported more than 5.5 million connected devices in over one million homes across Europe.[7]

History — additions

edit

The existing History text (2011–2015) should remain unchanged. The following text should be appended as a continuation, without new subsection headers:

In October 2018, Amazon invested in tado° through its Alexa Fund as part of a $50 million funding round.[8][9] By February 2020, tado° had sold over one million smart thermostats across Europe[10] and entered into partnerships with major energy providers, including ENGIE Home Services and Total Direct Energie.[11]

In January 2022, tado° acquired aWATTar GmbH, a Vienna-based provider of dynamic energy tariffs. The acquisition expanded tado°'s offering into a broader home energy management platform, combining smart heating control with time-of-use electricity tariffs that shift consumption to cheaper and greener hours.[12][4]

In 2024, tado° launched the tado° X product line, including the Smart Thermostat X, Smart Radiator Thermostat X, Heat Pump Optimizer X, and Wireless Temperature Sensor X. The tado° X devices use the Matter smart home standard and the Thread wireless protocol.[13][14] In the same year, tado° entered a partnership with Panasonic Corporation, which invested €30 million in the company in March 2025.[3][6]

Products and services

edit

The current Products section describes only tado° Heating (2012) and Smart AC Control (2015). The product line has changed significantly scince this article was created. Proposed replacement:

tado° develops hardware, software and services for home energy management. The company's products are compatible with around 95% of Europe's residential heating systems, including gas boilers, oil heating, heat pumps, district heating, underfloor heating and air conditioning from multiple manufacturers.[4][3]

The current product line was launched in 2024. The devices connect to the tado° app, which provides scheduling, remote control and energy reporting.[15] tado° products support the Matter smart home standard, enabling compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit.[13]

The tado° all also offers AI Assist, a subscription service that uses machine learning to automate and optimise heating.[16][17]

Through its subsidiary aWATTar, tado° also offers dynamic energy tariffs in Germany and Austria. The platform integrates those tariffs and also supports intelligent electric vehicle charging and photovoltaic integration.[12][4] ~2026-30276-91 (talk) 11:38, 21 May 2026 (UTC) ~2026-30276-91 (talk) 11:38, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society


Neubauer Collegium entry needs corrections and updates

edit

Hello, I am the communications director at the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society, and I would like to request a content audit to correct errors and update the research center's Wikipedia entry.

Specifically:

HISTORY

The second paragraph in this section is incomplete and outdated. Please consider a revision to update the total number and breadth of projects and specify the type of research projects the research center supports. Key facts include:

--Since its 2012 launch, the Collegium has supported more than 150 collaborative research projects with faculty representing all divisions and schools at the University of Chicago. The projects range broadly in scope and methodology, though all adopt a multi-disciplinary, humanistic perspective to address complex questions.

Apsáalooke Women and Warriors, March 13, 2020–July 18, 2021, jointly organized by the Field Museum of Chicago and the Neubauer Collegium in partnership with the Crow community, curated by Neubauer Collegium Visiting Fellow Nina Sanders.

--The multi-site exhibition presented multiple narratives of the Apsáalooke past, showcased new works by contemporary Apsáalooke artists and designers, and offered a vision for the future of cultural stewardship.

--On March 12, 2020, Neubauer Collegium Faculty Director Jonathan Lear and Apsáalooke Sacred Tobacco Society Pipe Carrier Grant Bulltail welcomed the University of Chicago community and local residents to a parade celebrating the opening of the exhibition. The parade across campus was led by a group of Apsáalooke dancers, drummers, elders, and participants on horseback, and was followed by a Crow giveaway ceremony. The event was the culmination of a multi-year collaboration among research partners convened by the Collegium – and is remembered as the last public gathering at the University of Chicago before the Covid lockdown.

CAMPUS

This section should be retitled "BUILDING" or integrated into HISTORY without a separate subtitle. Titling this section "campus" is misleading because it suggests that the Collegium has its own campus, which it does not. It is housed in a building at the University of Chicago.

An important fact to add: the Collegium was housed at the University of Chicago's Regenstein Library during its initial pilot phase (2012-2015) and launched at full capacity in April 2015 when it moved into its permanent home at 5701 S. Woodlawn Ave. Citation:

Link: https://news.uchicago.edu/story/neubauer-collegium-celebrates-opening-new-home-5701-s-woodlawn

LEADERSHIP

This section is very outdated. The first paragraph is accurate and current, but the list of the original faculty advisory board members is from 2014. The full list of faculty members who have served on this board to date includes about 100 names and changes every year. Consider removing the list and describing the makeup of the board and governance responsibilities more generally.

PUBLICATIONS

Consider adding a section to note that the Neubauer Collegium is a publishing imprint, with titles distributed by the University of Chicago Press. Books published on this imprint explore Collegium research-informed exhibitions. These include:

Apsáalooke Women and Warriors, 2020

Kleine Welt, 2020

Rick Lowe, 2023 (jointly published with Gagosian)

Joe Barbieri


Proposed update for international discography and collaborations

edit

Hello, I am Joe Barbieri, the subject of this article. I am writing to respectfully request an update to this page. The current article is a brief stub, and I would like to propose a more comprehensive, neutral, and fact-based version that reflects my international discography, tours, and collaborations (e.g., with Omara Portuondo, Jorge Drexler, Stacey Kent, etc.). Being aware of Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest (COI) guidelines, I am not editing the article directly. Instead, I am providing the proposed wikitext below for an independent editor to review. I have done my best to ensure the tone is strictly encyclopedic and neutral. Thank you for your time and assistance. === Proposed Wikitext ===

Joe Barbieri (born Giuseppe Barbieri; December 14, 1973) is an Italian singer, songwriter, composer, and music producer.[18] His work bridges vocal jazz, bossa nova, and world music with the melodic tradition of Italian songwriting.[19] == Career == === Early career and international breakthrough === Barbieri began his professional journey in his native Naples, where he was discovered by Italian musician Pino Daniele.[19] In 2003, he established his own independent label, Microcosmo Dischi. In 2004, he released the album In parole povere, which featured jazz and bossa nova influences. The album gained international traction, securing distribution across the United States, Canada, and Asia by 2008. His 2009 release Maison Maravilha featured a collaboration with Cuban singer Omara Portuondo (from Buena Vista Social Club), earning him recognition from Radio France. === Jazz influences and global collaborations (2010–2019) === His 2012 album Respiro included a guest appearance by Academy Award-winning Uruguayan musician Jorge Drexler, and was supported by tours in Paris, Madrid, and Tokyo.[20] That same year, Yamaha released a "Best Of" compilation exclusively for the Japanese market. In 2013, Barbieri released Chet Lives!, a tribute to trumpeter Chet Baker. The album featured American jazz vocalist Stacey Kent, with whom Barbieri subsequently performed at the Olympia in Paris, alongside Brazilian artist Márcio Faraco. He later honored the legacy of Billie Holiday with the 2019 acoustic tribute album Dear Billie. His 2015 studio effort Cosmonauta da appartamento featured contributions from Spanish singer Luz Casal and Brazilian mandolinist Hamilton de Holanda. Beyond his solo work, Barbieri is a producer and arranger. In this capacity, he has helmed projects featuring international world music artists, including Brazilian musicians Ivan Lins, Maria Bethânia, and Arnaldo Antunes, as well as Spanish singer Silvia Pérez Cruz. === Recent projects (2020–present) === His 2021 album Tratto da una storia vera featured a collaboration with Brazilian cellist and arranger Jaques Morelenbaum. In 2024, he released Vulío, a jazz-infused homage to traditional Neapolitan song. Following the release of his 2025 studio album Big Bang, an album of original songs, Barbieri is slated to release his first symphonic instrumental album, in November 2026. == Selected discography == === Studio albums === * In parole povere (2004) * Maison Maravilha (2009) * Respiro (2012) * Chet Lives!
