El Camino Health


2026 Comprehensive Article Update

edit

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

Proposed Lead Section

edit

El Camino Health is a non-profit healthcare system in the Silicon Valley and the South Bay, comprising two not-for-profit acute care hospitals, multiple urgent, specialty, and primary care locations and virtual visits to provide broad access to medical care.[1]

Notable Services

edit

El Camino Health provides a range of services, notably cancer care, cardiovascular care, maternity care, mental health and addiction services, orthopedics, pulmonology, urology, and women’s health. The Women’s Hospital at Mountain View underwent a $149 million expansion and renovation to its Center for Women and Newborns which was completed in January 2026. The expansion includes a separate Obstetrics Emergency Department, care for high risk pregnant mothers, 52 private patient rooms and a new neonatal intensive care (NICU) with private rooms, allowing parents to stay with their newborns.[2]

The Norma Melchor Heart & Vascular Institute at El Camino Health is a long-time early adopter and inventor of advanced technologies and treatments for heart disease including: preventing heart disease and stroke, heart rhythm and A-fib, stroke care and cardiac rehabilitation.[3]

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

The Scrivner Center for Mental Health and Addiction Services offers a wide range of services including specialized care for youth and young adults through the After School Program Interventions and Resiliency Education (ASPIRE).[4]

History

edit

The first hospital in the group was started by a group of Los Altos physicians who wanted to build a facility to be more convenient to residents of Santa Clara County. A measure to form a hospital district was put on the ballot in 1956, and it received overwhelming support to establish the El Camino Healthcare District, a separate governmental tax district which funded the construction of the hospital with $7.3 million in bonds.[5]

In 2009 it bought the former Community Hospital of Los Gatos and renamed it El Camino Hospital Los Gatos. Since September 2017, the CEO has been Dan Woods.[1]

Innovations

edit

In the late 1960s, El Camino Health collaborated with Lockheed Martin to develop a computerized physician order entry system. The system was implemented in the early 1970s and became the precursor to one of the first electronic health records.[6] Cardiology pioneer Thomas Fogarty founded Fogarty Innovation in 2007 on the campus of El Camino Health. It is a medical innovation incubator designed to help startups develop their ideas and bring forward new technologies that improve patient care and lower healthcare costs.[7] The nonprofit Fogarty Innovation hub at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View has incubated scores of companies and trained industry and regulatory leaders.[8] In 2009, Popular Science Magazine named it “the most technologically advanced hospital in the world,” thanks to advances in areas like robotic science, such as the “cyber knife”—a robotic type of radiation therapy used in surgery that can excise tumors very precisely, and can sense movements of the patient’s body like breathing and adjust itself in an extremely accurate way.

El Camino Health participated in the development of MitraClip, a medical device that uses a catheter-based approach to repair the mitral valve in a beating heart.[6] MitraClip has revolutionized therapy for mitral regurgitation and received Food and Drug Administration approval in 2013. In 2014, El Camino Health was one of first hospitals in California to perform a new, minimally invasive aortic valve procedure using the Medtronic CoreValve System.[6]

In 2019, El Camino Health's interventional pulmonology program was the first in the world to perform a robotic lung nodule biopsy commercially.[6] Since then, El Camino's Ganesh Krishna, MD, has published findings showing that the use of robotic-assisted technology leads to more accurate diagnoses and more successful removal of hard-to-reach lung nodules.

In 2019, El Camino Health became the first hospital in California to perform bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, a minimally invasive procedure for severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In 2023, El Camino health partnered with Fogarty Innovation and Flosonics Medical to pilot and later be the first in the world to adopt the FloPatch, ultrasound technology to treat patients with sepsis.[9]

Also that year, El Camino Health launched The Taft Innovation Fund with a gift from philanthropists Pamela and Edward Taft to continue investing in cutting edge technology and research to advance healthcare.[10]

Quality Care

edit

El Camino Health was the first hospital in the Bay area to be designated nursing MAGNET hospital by the American Nursing Credentialing Center, the professional accreditation body for health care quality and professional nursing practice worldwide. El Camino Health is currently seeking its fifth MAGNET designation. U.S. News ranked El Camino Hospital #16 (out of 413 hospitals) for Best Hospitals in California and #2 for Best Hospitals in San Jose (out of 13 hospitals).[11]

El Especialito


Suggested updates to El Especialito article

edit

Hello. I am requesting updates to the El Especialito article because several details appear to be outdated. I have a conflict of interest because I work with El Especialito / Ibarria Media Group, so I am not editing the article directly. I am asking an independent editor to review the proposed changes below. Suggested updates: Lead section Current text:

El Especialito is a free Spanish language weekly newspaper magazine, which was originally published under the name of El Especial in the 1980s and renamed in the 1990s. It was founded by Cuban American entrepreneur Antonio Ibarria and is distributed by United States Distributions Inc in northeastern New Jersey, New York City and Miami.

Requested replacement:

El Especialito is a free Spanish-language weekly newspaper serving Hispanic communities in New York and New Jersey. It is owned by Ibarria Media Group and was founded by Cuban American publisher Antonio Ibarria. The publication began as El Especial in 1985 and evolved into El Especialito in 1996.

Reason:

The current wording includes outdated distribution information, including Miami, and does not clearly explain the publication’s history. A 2024 NewsBeat feature published by the New York Press Association states that Antonio Ibarria became publisher of El Especial in 1985 and that the publication evolved into El Especialito in 1996. It also describes El Especialito as serving Spanish-language readers across the metropolitan New York region.

Sources:

NewsBeat, February 2024, “El Especialito’s American success story”
New York Daily News, October 30, 2016, “N.J. businessman, publisher of largest Spanish-language weekly newspaper, master of reinvention”

Distribution section Current text:

El Especialito is distributed to more than 5,500 yellow news racks in thirteen independent zones. With a weekly publication of 250,000 copies reaching more than one million readers, it the largest Hispanic weekly in the US.

Requested replacement:

El Especialito is distributed weekly through its yellow newspaper boxes and print editions in New York and New Jersey. As of 2024, the newspaper prints 230,000 copies each Friday. Its New York distribution includes the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan, while its New Jersey distribution includes Hudson, Passaic, Essex, Union, Middlesex and Bergen counties.

Reason:

The current text includes an outdated circulation figure and references Miami distribution, which is no longer current. The 2024 NewsBeat feature states that El Especialito prints 230,000 papers each Friday and circulates in New York City and northern New Jersey.

Source:

NewsBeat, February 2024, “El Especialito’s American success story”

Infobox circulation Current text:

270,000 (as of 2015)

Requested replacement:

230,000 weekly

Reason:

The current circulation number is outdated. A 2024 NewsBeat feature states that El Especialito prints 230,000 papers each Friday.

Source:

NewsBeat, February 2024, “El Especialito’s American success story”

Infobox circulation date Current text:

2015

Requested replacement:

2024

Reason:

The updated circulation figure is supported by the February 2024 NewsBeat feature.

Source:

NewsBeat, February 2024, “El Especialito’s American success story”

Infobox headquarters Current text:

3510 Bergenline Avenue, Union City, New Jersey

Requested replacement:

3711 Hudson Avenue, Union City, New Jersey 07087

Reason:

The listed headquarters address is outdated.

Source:

[Please insert a reliable source confirming the current address, such as the official company website, media kit, business listing, or audit document.]

Infobox website Current text:

elespecial.com

Requested replacement:

ElEspecialitoDigital.com

Reason:

El Especialito now maintains its digital presence through ElEspecialitoDigital.com.

Source:

[Please insert official website source.]

Miami distribution Requested change:

Remove references to Miami from the article.

Reason:

El Especialito no longer has a Miami edition or Miami distribution.

Source:

[Please insert a source if available. If no source is available, this can be reviewed as an outdated statement that is no longer supported by current sources.]

Employee count Current text:

El Especialito is part of Ibarria Media Group, which employs ninety employees.

Requested change:

Remove the employee count.

Reason:

The employee count appears outdated and is not necessary to the article’s summary.

Ownership and family business language Current text:

El Especialito is part of Ibarria Media Group, which employs ninety employees and operates as family business run by Ibarria and his two sons, Anthony and John.

Requested replacement:

El Especialito is owned by Ibarria Media Group. The publication remains associated with founder Antonio Ibarria and his sons, Anthony Ibarria and John Ibarria, who have held leadership roles in the company.

Reason:

This keeps the ownership and leadership information while removing the outdated employee count. The 2024 NewsBeat feature states that the newspaper is still run by Antonio Ibarria and his sons Anthony, general manager, and John, president.

Source:

NewsBeat, February 2024, “El Especialito’s American success story”

Suggested short description Requested short description:

Spanish-language weekly newspaper in New York and New Jersey

Reason:

The current short description should reflect the newspaper’s current geographic focus and publication type.

Suggested article wording for current operations Requested addition:

El Especialito publishes a weekly Spanish-language newspaper and maintains a digital news presence through ElEspecialitoDigital.com. Its coverage includes entertainment, lifestyle, health, sports, fashion, community resources and other features aimed at Hispanic readers in the New York and New Jersey area.

Reason:

This adds updated information about the publication’s print and digital presence in neutral language. The 2024 NewsBeat feature describes El Especialito as a full-color features publication covering celebrities, entertainment, lifestyle, health, sports, fashion and exercise.

Electronic Frontier Foundation


Requesting review of significantly expanded EFF article

edit

Hi. I'm Allison and I work at EFF. The previous article about EFF was lacking key information about the last 15 years of the organization's history. I have a comprehensive rewrite that uses reliable sources to fill in the gaps and improve the overall quality of the article. You can find it here: User:AllisonEFF/sandbox.

Thank you so much for this review. AllisonEFF (talk) 21:34, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Comment: @AllisonEFF, I appreciate the work you've put in to your rewrite, but it's extremely difficult for another editor to identify what has changed, other than doing a word-by-word comparison of two side-by-side browser tabs which is not a reasonable ask. Your version almost doubles the number of citations, each of which the reviewing editor will need to check. You're more likely to get successful updates to the article by breaking your requests down into more manageable chunks, using a change X to Y format (with the relevant sources).
Tip: you might find it useful to use Template:Text diff in your requests. Schazjmd (talk) 21:51, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
Hiya Alison!- I can take a look at your edits and review what makes sense to include! I agree with User:Schazjmd, it is much easier to review change-by-change, but I'll try to take a look at your edits and see if anything immediately stands out. pauliesnug (message / contribs) 22:03, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
[Overall diff for reference] pauliesnug (message / contribs) 22:08, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
How handy, @Pauliesnug, I didn't know about that tool. Thanks! Schazjmd (talk) 22:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
Of course! In this case the diff algorithm seems to have gotten a bit overwhelmed haha, but it's a pretty awesome tool. pauliesnug (message / contribs) 22:19, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
Since you're here, would you be able to contribute a freely-licensed photo of Nicole Ozer? Funcrunch (talk) 22:08, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Changelog: Thanks for the quick replies! I have prepared a detailed xyz changelog, which shows what happens to 36 specific parts of the text from the original to the revised draft. You can see that changelog here: User:AllisonEFF/sandbox/diff. This should allow you to verify every change, including what was altered or removed and why, with sources and reasons. Take good care, AllisonEFF (talk) 17:22, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Good work. Glancing over it, it looks fairly well researched and presented. I'll see if I can throw in some edits over the next few days to help out. I appreciate the effort. ShadowLancer (talk) 12:20, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Eliezer Blum


Request for article rewrite based on sandbox draft (COI)

edit

Hello,

I am requesting a review and possible replacement of the current article with a revised draft located at User:Dschrier13/sandbox.

I have a conflict of interest, as Eliezer Blum is a family member, so I have not edited the main article directly. Instead, I prepared a draft in my sandbox that is based entirely on published, independent sources, including academic presses and major literary anthologies.

The draft focuses on verifiable aspects of Blum’s literary career, including his poetry, prose, translation work, and critical writing, and avoids unsourced or interpretive claims. All major statements are supported with inline citations.

I would be grateful if an uninvolved editor could review the sandbox draft and, if appropriate, replace the current article or suggest any changes needed to bring it into line with Wikipedia standards.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Dschrier13 (talk) 16:19, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Friendly follow-up in case this request was missed. The sandbox draft remains available for review if an uninvolved editor has time. Thank you. Dschrier13 (talk) 14:55, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
This request was marked as answered, but no review, response, or
changes to the article were made. Re-opening for consideration by
an uninvolved editor. The sandbox draft at User:Dschrier13/sandbox
remains available and is based entirely on published, independent
sources with inline citations. Dschrier13 (talk) 20:00, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
This was marked closed by me because your talk page sequence was backwards. The flow of talk page posts always moves from top to bottom; you were placing them bottom to top. That made it appear at first glance that your initial draft was superceded by two separately proposed and resolved requests. I've since resequenced it for you. Regards,  Spintendo  21:20, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
thank you for looking at this. Dschrier13 (talk) 21:26, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Elliott Investment Management


January 2026 Edit Request

edit

I would like to make a suggestion to improve the article in line with some of the discussions on this Talk page. For transparency, I am making this request on behalf of Elliott Investment Management and will not edit the article directly on these points unless the Wikipedia community agree with my ideas.

I will take the liberty of directly correcting a few typos in the article where Elliott is missing the second 't'.

The Investments section is definitely too long with no sensible order to it. I would like to suggest:

1. Putting the section into chronological order, with subsections for each decade. I have provided this order in the expandable box below using the code from the live article for all references, so if this order makes sense to others, you should be able to copy and paste the source code to replace the current section (updated as of 23 April 2026):

June 2026 Edit Request

edit

Appreciate the feedback once again Thebiguglyalien. I would like to make some further suggestions to correct information which is outdated or incorrect on the page.

1. Within the infobox, I propose that:

  • The "Revenue" and "Owner" parameters are removed. Elliott does not disclose revenue publicly, and the US$115 million figure is uncited. Meanwhile, Elliott Capital Advisors, L.P. does not own Elliott Investment Management L. P. They are separate entities operating under the Elliott umbrella, and again this attribution is uncited.
  • Could Waterstones and Barnes & Noble please be removed from the "Subsidiaries" parameter as they are portfolio companies, not subsidiaries.
  • Can the number of employees at Elliott and net AUM be updated as per the latest SEC filing in May 2026.

2. Within the "History" section:

  • Can the number of employees be updated to reflect the latest figure as per the SEC filing and to match the infobox.
  • Can reference to Hong Kong be removed as the office closed in 2021. This is supported by several independent and reliable third-party reporting e.g. Reuters.

3. Within the "Affiliates and units" section, could Elliott Advisors (HK) Limited be put into past tense (Elliott Advisors (HK) Limited is was "the Hong Kong arm of Elliott Management.") or removed as it is no longer operational. As mentioned above, the Hong Kong office closed in 2021. NML Capital is also a dormant entity, so could this similarly be changed to a former affiliate?

Thank you again to those taking the time to review! Tykonikon (talk) 10:22, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Emmanuel Roman


Edit Request - Personal Life

edit

Hello, I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Pimco. Want to provide clarification for the personal life section.

I believe the last sentence should be amended to note that “Roman has two children with his current wife, Topaz Page-Green, a model and activist.”

In this recent interview in Le Point, Roman states, “I live in Los Angeles with my wife and two of my four children.” As established in a citation previously used on the page, Roman’s partner is Topaz Page-Green.

Thank you for your consideration.

Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 15:37, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
Is there any sourcing demonstrating that the two children he lives with are the children of his and Page-Green?
If not, I would propose language that is consistent with what can be inferred from the sources, such as "As of October 2025, Roman lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Topaz Page-Green, and two [of his] children."
Please also share the excerpt from the article you cited, since it's paywalled. (I realize it's in French.) Zxm92 (talk) 18:24, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for the response @Zxm92. Below is the French original and English translation.
Given the phrasing of the article, I recommend the revised sentence read, “As of October 2025, Roman lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Topaz Page-Green, and two of his four children.” Added in "of his four" to your suggestion.
Thank you!
(French original) Vous êtes français, né à Paris, passé par Louis-le-Grand et Dauphine avant de prendre le chemin des États-Unis. Quels liens entretenez-vous avec votre pays natal ?
Ma vie est en Amérique, et je dois reconnaître que ce pays m'a beaucoup donné. Je vis à Los Angeles avec mon épouse et deux de mes quatre enfants. Je reste néanmoins très attaché à la France. Je viens d'ailleurs de recevoir, ce matin, l'Histoire de la France religieuse, en plusieurs tomes, de Jacques Le Goff (Seuil). Cela m'intéresse énormément. Je suis aussi très attaché à la peinture française et je ne rate aucun match du PSG, dont je suis fan depuis 1975, la glorieuse époque de Mustapha Dahleb et de François M'Pelé. J'ai attendu tellement longtemps qu'il soit champion d'Europe !
(English translation): “You are French, born in Paris, educated at Louis Le Grand and Dauphine before heading to the United States. What ties do you maintain with your native country?
My life is in America, and I must acknowledge that America has given me a lot. I live in Los Angeles with my wife and two of my four children. But I nevertheless remain very attached to France. This morning, for instance, I just received The Religious History of France in several volumes by Jacques Le Goff. I find it fascinating. I am also very attached to French painting, and I never miss a PSG match, being a fan since the very beginning. I have been waiting so long for them to become European champions!

@Zxm92 Thanks for reviewing! Is it possible to add "four" as I suggested in my past comment? The new source notes he has four children. Thank you
"As of October 2025, Roman lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Topaz Page-Green, and two of his four children." Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 14:22, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

COI Edit Request - 1.8.25

edit

Hello, I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Pimco. As a conflicted party, I’ll be sharing suggestions on discussion pages instead of editing directly.


The infobox should be updated to reflect that Roman has four children. See the Personal Life section of the page, and the Le Point article already cited on the page which notes he has four children.


Roman’s page contains very view details about Pimco and his tenure at the firm. I suggest adding the firm’s AUM, which is widely noted in coverage about the firm and integral to its business. Potential language in bold, “PIMCO manages $2.2 trillion in assets under management as of September 30, 2025.”


Thanks for your consideration. Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 14:06, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Partly done: I resolved the inaccuracy regarding number of children in the infobox. Details on PIMCO belong in the PIMCO-article though and not this one. – NJD-DE (talk) 17:32, 25 January 2026 (UTC)


Edit request (2026/2/2)

edit
Thanks for the response @Njd-de.
Proposing two additional edits to the page, the first would add more context about Roman’s role at PIMCO, the section is currently devoid of detail, and the second would add his philanthropic activities. Including proposed language and sources below for your consideration.
“During Roman’s tenure at PIMCO, the firm has ramped up its investments in alternative assets, reaching $200 billion in March of 2025.”
Financial Times (August 11, 2025)
“Roman has been a University of Chicago Trustee since 2015. In 2023, Roman donated to the Center for Decision Research (CDR) at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.”
Chicago Booth (January 18, 2023) Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 15:31, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Partly done I have added the information about being a UC Trustee/Donor. I did not add the part of PIMCO's investments, which are more nearly about PIMCO than Roman. Fiske (talk) 12:07, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
Thank you Fiske. Also wanted to flag that the edits made on May 12th are inaccurate and uncited. Incorrect spelling of Roman's name, wrong university, and weird phrasing + reference is pulled into the page. The Early Life and Education portion of the page should be reverted. As a conflicted party, I am seeking a third-party editor's assistance. Thanks Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 12:29, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
Those changes look like vandalism more than editing, and they are unsourced. I have reverted them.
Note - please start a new COI edit request for anything further. Fiske (talk) 14:29, 18 May 2026 (UTC)


COI Edit Request

edit

Hello, as a conflicted party, reaching back out to suggest a change to the infobox. Thank you.

As mentioned in the page and in the linked Les Echos article, Roman is married to Topaz Page-Green. I recommend moving her name from “Partner” to “Spouse” in the infobox.

The Les Echos article is in French, but the translation states, “He shares his life with his wife Topaz…” Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 17:36, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Emotional Freedom Techniques


Edit request: 2025 meta-analysis in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research

edit

Disclosure: I am Nick Ortner, CEO of The Tapping Solution, and I am named in this article's infobox as a proponent of EFT. I have an obvious conflict of interest and will not edit the article. I am submitting this request for uninvolved editors to evaluate on the merits. My COI is also disclosed on my user page.

Requested change: Add the following sentence to the end of the "Research quality" section:

A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research, covering ten randomized controlled trials with 774 participants, found that EFT reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression and improved sleep quality in people with cancer, but found no effect on general psychological distress, disease adjustment, or self-awareness.

Source: Zheng D, Lin X, Gao X, Wang L, Zhu M. "The impact of emotional freedom techniques on anxiety, depression, and anticipatory grief in people with cancer: A meta-analysis and systematic review." Journal of Psychosomatic Research. 2025;192:112088. doi:10.1016/j.jpsychores.2025.112088. PMID 40073789.

Why I believe this meets WP:MEDRS:

  • It is a secondary source (a systematic review and meta-analysis of ten RCTs), not a primary study.
  • The journal is MEDLINE-indexed and published by Elsevier; this article already cites the same journal (currently reference 2).
  • It is recent (2025), consistent with MEDRS's preference for reviews from roughly the last five years.
  • The authors declare no competing interests and, to my knowledge, have no affiliation with EFT organizations, which distinguishes this source from proponent-authored reviews previously discussed on this page.

The proposed sentence deliberately includes the review's negative findings as well as its positive ones. I am not requesting removal or modification of any existing content. Thank you for considering it. NickOrtner (talk) 19:39, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Empress of Uruguay


COI edit request: sourcing and additions

edit

I have a conflict of interest (disclosed on my user page) and am requesting the following sourced changes rather than editing directly.

1. Source the existing vandalism sentence (currently tagged "citation needed"). Proposed replacement text:

In August 2011, while on display at the Crystal Caves, the geode was damaged when a visitor broke off a section of crystals about the size of a tennis ball; the museum reported the incident to police and said it was the first such damage since the geode went on display.[1]

2. Add acquisition and transport detail. Proposed addition:

According to the museum's founders René and Nelleke Boissevain, the geode arrived at the Crystal Caves in November 2007. It was crated at the mine, shipped in a steel container from Brazil to Brisbane, and transported about 1,600 km by road to the Atherton Tablelands, where cranes were used to position it and a dedicated room was built around it.[2] The museum has said it paid US$75,000 for the geode and about US$25,000 to ship it.[2]

3. Add image. I have uploaded a freely licensed image to Commons. Requested placement: infobox, or top-right of the lead.

Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis


Proposed Updates to Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis Article (COI Disclosure)

edit

Disclosure: I am affiliated with Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis and am proposing updates to this article to reflect the company’s current structure and product offerings following the 2022 merger of SpectraSensors and Kaiser Optical Systems. I will not edit the article directly and welcome feedback from independent editors.

Proposed Updates:

1. Lead Section Current: Focuses only on SpectraSensors and gas analysis.

Suggested:

“Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Endress+Hauser Group, formed in 2022 through the merger of SpectraSensors, Inc. and Kaiser Optical Systems, Inc.

Proposed additions

edit

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback on my previous request. Based on your advice, I'm resubmitting three suggestions (1, 2, and 3) with a few revisions and MEDRS citations. I've also included three new suggestions (4, 5, and 6) in this request. I look forward to your response.

1. Pesticides in Children's Food

In June 1993, the EWG released its first major report, Pesticides in Children’s Food, which analyzed laboratory tests of more than 20,000 food samples alongside federal dietary data, to estimate children's exposure to pesticide residues. The 1993 report laid the groundwork for EWG's later annual publication, the Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce, which ranks fruits and vegetables based on pesticide contamination data.

MEDRS: The paper by the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce to pediatricians: https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/130/5/e1406/32522/Organic-Foods-Health-and-Environmental-Advantages?autologincheck=redirected

News citation for other facts: https://www.nytimes.com/1993/06/27/us/us-will-focus-on-reducing-pesticides-in-food-production.html


2. Skin Deep database

In 2004, EWG launched the Skin Deep database, which evaluates the toxicity of personal care products. Subsequently, in 2015, EWG started its "EWG Verified" trademark licensing program for consumer products that meet its ingredient safety criteria.

MEDRS: International Journal of women’s dermatology: https://journals.lww.com/ijwd/fulltext/2025/06000/safety_and_accessibility_of_commercially_available.11.aspx

3. Glyphosate residues in oat-based foods

In August 2018, EWG published results from laboratory testing of oat-based breakfast foods, reporting that 31 of the 45 products tested contained glyphosate at levels it considered harmful. While these levels were within limits deemed safe by the Environmental Protection Agency, EWG argued that the federal standards were outdated and called for stricter regulation of long-term, low-level exposure to the chemical.

4. Body Burden

In 2005, EWG published a study, titled Body Burden: The Pollution in Newborns, analyzing chemical contamination in umbilical cord blood.

News citation for other facts: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna8567514


5. Farm Subsidy Database

In 1995, EWG launched the Farm Subsidy Database, an online resource that compiles and analyzes U.S. federal farm subsidy payments. As of 2024, it documents data of more than $539 billion in subsidies paid since 1995, and is cited by journalists, researchers, policy think tanks, and other advocacy groups.

News citations:


6. California laws co-sponsored by EWG

EWG has co-sponsored multiple California bills that were signed into law. These include the Toxin-Free Infants and Toddlers Act of 2011, which limited bisphenol A (BPA) levels in baby bottles and sippy cups; the California Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act of 2020, which banned several chemicals from cosmetics; the California Food Safety Act of 2023, which banned four food chemical ingredients, including Red Dye No. 3; the California School Food Safety Act of 2024, which banned six food dyes in schools; and the Real Food, Healthy Kids Act of 2025, which defined and banned ultra-processed foods (UPFs) from K–12 school meals.

News citations:

Manaokin (talk) 01:51, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Looking at the previous discussion, I wouldn't recommend the changes at least on MEDRS related items. Part of the challenge is that many of the "studies" EWG does are not published in peer-reviewed journals, so it complicates matters on a few fronts.
  1. That source isn't particularly in line with WP:MEDDATE as it's 14 years old. There's also the issue of cherry-picking a single study that pretty much only links the website when other sources generally describe EWG as not reliable on pesticides and produce topics (which the article currently describes).
  2. The journal articles just mention they used the database and don't really give depth needed. Merely using a database in an article is not something that would mean inclusion in an encyclopedic article.
  3. Similar to 2, but this text also omits how EWG somewhat arbitrarily chose a reference level that that it seem like extremely low concentrations were a hazard. That would definitely need more sourcing if it was going to be mentioned as a whole. I know there are sources that describe that topic well, but it's been awhile since I've dug into them. In short, that topic is complicated to make sure we get it right.
  4. This also seems to be passing mention. Not all "studies" (non-peer-reviewed) done by the group would warrant mention in an encyclopedia. An equivalent would be WP:NOTCV for BLPs where even peer-reviewed studies aren't listed, and I'm not really seeing a case made for this study in the sources.
  5. This could be mentioned in some fashion, but I wouldn't use the proposed text, especially after the first sentence. I'm not proposing this as a source in the article itself, but it's an example what other advocacy groups say about this particular advocacy group's use of the database. It gets complicated quickly, so it's probably safer just to have a basic description of what the database is and avoid getting into the finer details that would take a lot more heavy lifting. It's well known enough it warrants mention though.
  6. I wonder if it's better to just have a lobbying section instead, but I'd be curious if there are sources that summarize what the group's key lobbying efforts have been instead of finding individual legislation they've been involved with? Maybe it's just seeing California, but I'm wondering why California gets a specific call out here.
KoA (talk) 03:07, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
1. Can you provide links to the sources that state the Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce is not reliable?
2. Here is a peer-reviewed 2025 study that draws extensively from EWG’s Skin Deep database to inform its findings:
Here is a similar peer-reviewed study published in 2026 that uses EWG’s Skin Deep database scores to inform its findings:
Here is another 2026 peer-reviewed study published in another medical journal that relies heavily on EWG’s Skin Deep database:
3. Here is a version of the paragraph that clarifies how EWG established its own safety levels for glyphosate residues in food:
In August 2018, EWG published results from laboratory testing of oat-based breakfast foods, reporting that 31 of the 45 products tested contained glyphosate above the level it considered harmful - a benchmark of 160 parts per billion, which EWG derived by taking California's Proposition 65 cancer-based No Significant Risk Level (NSRL) for glyphosate, applying an additional children's health safety factor modeled on the margin required under the federal Food Quality Protection Act, and arriving at a maximum daily dose of 0.01 milligrams, then converting that dose into a concentration using an assumed 60-gram serving size. While these levels were within limits deemed safe by the Environmental Protection Agency, EWG argued that the federal standards were outdated and called for stricter regulation of long-term, low-level exposure to the herbicide.
4. I would be hard pressed to find any peer-reviewed paper that goes more in-depth into any single analysis conducted by a research and advocacy organization. Instead, such analyses are typically cited alongside many other sources of evidence to inform broader scientific reviews, risk assessments, or research conclusions.
Below are four examples of peer-reviewed publications that include EWG's Body Burden study in their reference lists, demonstrating that the analysis has been considered as part of the broader scientific literature:
5. Let's leave out the second sentence if only the first sentence is fit to be included. Just to clarify, that hyperlinked "advocacy group" is funded by the commodity crop industry and is not a public interest organization.
6. Yes, that would be fine. The section can start with:
EWG has a government affairs department that frequently lobbies members of Congress as well as state lawmakers in support of legislation the organization believes would minimize human exposure to industrial and agricultural chemicals. EWG has sponsored several legislative proposals in California that have been signed into law, including Assembly Bill 1264 authored by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino) that established the first-in-the-nation law to legally define ultra-processed foods (UPFs), ....
... and list the other bills. Manaokin (talk) 02:37, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Equal Credit Opportunity Act


Request edit: April 2026 CFPB final rule amending Regulation

edit


I have a COI declared on my user page (employed by NCRC). I am requesting an uninvolved editor review and, if appropriate, implement the following addition. I am not 100% sure of the right process so I am trying to do this the right way.

The article currently describes the regulatory regime as it stood before April 2026. On April 22, 2026, the CFPB published a final rule making three significant changes to Regulation B: removing the "effects test" and stating that ECOA does not authorize disparate-impact liability, narrowing the discouragement prohibition, and imposing new restrictions on special purpose credit programs (SPCPs) by for-profit creditors. The rule takes effect July 21, 2026 (90 days after Federal Register publication). This is a substantial change to ECOA's regulatory implementation and the article should reflect it.

I propose adding the following as a new subsection under "Amendments and regulatory development," following the existing "Section 1071 small business lending data" subsection. I have not edited the article directly given my COI; I drafted this in my sandbox at User:GeographerJay/sandbox.

Proposed text

2026 final rule amending Regulation B

edit

On April 22, 2026, the CFPB published a final rule amending Subpart A of Regulation B.[1] The rule, which takes effect July 21, 2026, makes three significant changes to the regulatory implementation of ECOA.

First, the rule removes the "effects test" from Regulation B and states that ECOA does not authorize disparate-impact liability.[2] The CFPB's position is that ECOA's prohibition on discrimination "on the basis of" protected characteristics is intent-focused and does not contain the effects-oriented language present in statutes such as the Fair Housing Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, where the Supreme Court has recognized disparate-impact liability.[2] The rule preserves disparate-treatment liability, including claims based on facially neutral criteria used as proxies for protected characteristics.[3] The change reverses a longstanding interpretation that dated to the Federal Reserve Board's 1977 amendment of Regulation B.[4]

Second, the rule narrows the prohibition on discouraging prospective applicants under § 1002.4(b). The discouragement analysis is now limited to oral or written statements (including images) that a reasonable person would understand as expressing an intent to discriminate, rather than statements or practices that merely create negative impressions or have indirect discouraging effects.[3] Targeted outreach to specific demographic groups is expressly not treated as discouragement of those outside the targeted group.[2]

Third, the rule restricts special purpose credit programs operated by for-profit creditors. For-profit SPCPs may no longer use race, color, national origin, or sex as eligibility criteria.[1] For-profit SPCPs using other permissible characteristics (religion, marital status, age, receipt of public assistance income, or exercise of Consumer Credit Protection Act rights) face heightened documentation requirements, including a written plan demonstrating need and participant-level evidence that each participant would not receive credit absent the program.[3] Nonprofit and government-authorized SPCPs are largely unaffected.[2]

The CFPB received approximately 64,500 comments on the proposed rule and finalized it largely as proposed.[3] Consumer advocacy groups, state attorneys general, and members of Congress signaled during the comment period that the rule would be challenged in court on Administrative Procedure Act and statutory-interpretation grounds.[4] The rule's effect on disparate-impact liability is limited to ECOA enforcement; the Fair Housing Act, state anti-discrimination statutes, and private ECOA litigation in courts that have not foreclosed disparate-impact theories remain available avenues for effects-based claims.[2]

Notes for reviewer

edit
  • I have not included quotes or paraphrases from advocacy organizations (including my employer) in the proposed text. The "consumer advocacy groups, state attorneys general, and members of Congress" reference is sourced to factual reporting on the comment period.
  • If a reviewer would prefer this be added as a new top-level section rather than a subsection, I'm happy to restructure.
  • The existing "CFPB v. Townstone Financial" section may also warrant a brief note that the Seventh Circuit's discouragement holding interprets the pre-2026 version of Regulation B; I have not proposed that edit here but flag it for reviewer consideration.

Doing... This all seems fine to me, however, I'm not sure that merely being employed by an organization that has an opinion on a specific piece of legislation constitutes a COI. I'm going to inquire elsewhere. If it does, I'll come back and implement this. RedBaron214 (talk) 20:36, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
 Done Based on AndyTheGrump's advice here, I've gone ahead and implemented this edit request, the sources seeming to check out and the content otherwise satisfactory. RedBaron214 (talk) 02:58, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Question: Wondering if you have any other sources besides these? Ideally we'd have reliable secondary sources Likeanechointheforest (talk) 18:59, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for reviewing this request. Yes, we can provide additional
secondary sources. Here are independent third-party sources that
corroborate the proposed figures:
For financial figures (assets, deposits, customers, shareholders' funds):
  • The Trading Room (independent Kenyan financial news outlet), March 2026:
"Equity Group Holdings Achieves Historic Performance in FY 2025"
This article independently confirms total assets of KES 1.97 trillion,
customer deposits of KES 1.46 trillion, and shareholders' funds of
KES 309.5 billion as at FY2025.
For shareholding / ownership table:
  • MarketScreener (international financial data platform):
Equity Group Holdings – Shareholders
This independently lists current major shareholders including Arise BV
at 12.76%.
For Board of Directors:
  • Equity Group Holdings official leadership page:
equitygroupholdings.com/about-equity
For BCDC profit (History section):
  • Standard Media (already cited as source 5 in the request):

  Edit request declined  

  • One of the provided references is a 112-page PDF in which none of the page numbers have been appended to the request.
  • The request to list various board members/employees is declined, per WP:NOTDIRECTORY-#6.

Thank you for the feedback. We have addressed both issues below.
Regarding the Board of Directors section, we accept the decline
per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and will not resubmit that section.
Regarding the investor booklet citations, we have identified the
specific page numbers for each claim:

We have also noted a correction to our earlier submission:
shareholders' funds should read KSh326.1 billion (not KSh1.80
trillion as previously stated). We apologise for this error.
We would be grateful if you could reconsider the remaining
sections of the request. Thank you for your patience. MtKenyaReader (talk) 12:52, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
Correction to my previous reply: The heading "Overview section
figures" appeared twice due to a formatting error. Please disregard
the duplicate line. All other information in the previous reply
remains correct. ~~~~ MtKenyaReader (talk) 12:57, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
