Kenneth S. Kosik

Addition of Research section (new)

• What I think should be changed (include citations):

Research section (new):

- Addition of research section that outlines the multiple topics researched by Kosik lab.

Updated version:

Kenneth Kosik’s research focuses on the underlying molecular basis of plasticity, particularly how protein translation at the synapse affects learning and how impairments of plasticity lead to neurodegenerative diseases. Beginning in the early nineties, Kosik contributed toward the characterization of the largest familial Alzheimer kindred in the world, a large family in Colombia with dementia onset at an early age. At that time none of the current research facilities existed there. This began a longterm collaboration with Francisco Lopera in which the family trees were assembled, the neuropathological proof of Alzheimer’s disease obtained, the gene mutation discovered, the first brain imaging performed, and specialized neuropsychological testing devised. Kosik’s work with early onset familial Alzheimer’s disease in Colombia was the basis for a novel prevention trial to treat Alzheimer’s disease, and his efforts stimulated many discoveries and catalyzed research by a diverse group of experts who contributed to elaborating complex facets of this unique population.

In 1986, Kosik was one of several groups that independently discovered Tau protein in the Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangle, followed up with many studies on the biology and pathobiology of Tau. Kosik showed the loss of polarity in tangle-bearing neurons and published the first cloning of human tau, identification of its microtubule binding domain, the first description that tau splicing was developmentally regulated, the localization of tau mRNA, and the identification of a human tau promoter . He defined a role for tau in axonal elaboration and neuronal polarity, and he discovered that the inhibition of farnesyl transferase ameliorates tau pathology in animal models.

Most recently, he discovered the receptor LRP1 is involved in tau uptake and spread, which are looked upon as the basis for target identification and drug discovery. Kosik’s research has also described how RNA moves in neurons as RNA granules called droplets that contain a distinct liquid-liquid phase separated state. Furthermore, he has identified a role for miRNAs in exit from pluripotency and discovered a set of cellular programs that harbinger a neuro-ectodermal fate. Kosik has also identified one of the earliest expression dysfunctions in Williams syndrome using induced pluripotent stem cells, and his detailed studies of delta-catenin all directly from the Kosik lab revealed a remarkable set of findings.

  Clarification requested  

1. By their very nature, awards can be subjective, in that they represent a very specific point of view — that of the individual or organization determining who wins the award and why. To counter this, a good practice is to limit the listing of awards to only those which are independently notable in Wikipedia.
2. To include a list of awards here, please ensure that only awards which are independently notable in Wikipedia are listed in the request.
3. When ready to proceed with the list of independently notable awards, kindly change the {{Edit COI}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=y to |ans=n. Please note that prior text entered in the Edit request proposal should not be retro-actively altered. Instead, a new reply post supplying the needed information should be posted below this review. The original {{Edit COI}} template may then be altered. Thank you!

Kerman University of Medical Sciences

Request for neutral expansion / COI edit request

Hello. I am affiliated with Kerman University of Medical Sciences, so I am proposing these changes here rather than editing the article directly.

I would like to suggest a short, neutral expansion of the article based on reliable sources.

Suggested text:

"Kerman University of Medical Sciences (KMU) is a public medical sciences university in Kerman, Iran. Medical education in Kerman was originally part of the University of Kerman. According to institutional sources, the first group of medical students was admitted in 1977, and in 1985 the medical sciences units were reorganized as Kerman University of Medical Sciences. The university provides education in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, public health, and other health-related fields, and it is affiliated with hospitals and health networks in Kerman Province."

If helpful, I can also propose section-by-section edits or provide additional independent sources. Thank you. Masixkerman (talk) 09:20, 7 July 2026 (UTC) Masixkerman (talk) 09:20, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Kevin Mitnick

Edit Request - Media Section

• Specific text to be added or removed:

Please consider updating the current Media section with:

Mitnick's life, prosecution, and later career were the subject of numerous books, films, documentaries, and radio programs. In 2000, Skeet Ulrich portrayed Mitnick in the feature film Track Down (released internationally as Takedown), based on the book Takedown: The Pursuit and Capture of Kevin Mitnick, America's Most Wanted Computer Outlaw by John Markoff and Tsutomu Shimomura. In 2001, Mitnick appeared as himself in Freedom Downtime, a documentary produced by 2600: The Hacker Quarterly that examined his prosecution, imprisonment, and the Free Kevin movement. Mitnick also appeared in the television documentary The Secret History of Hacking (2001), which chronicled the history of phone phreaking and computer hacking.

From 2000 to 2002, Mitnick co-hosted DarkSide of the Internet, a weekly two-hour radio program on KFI in Los Angeles with Alex Kasper. in addition to cameo appearances in various television shows and movies.

• Reason for the change:

The current Media section omits several notable appearances of Mitnick with interviews, including Freedom Downtime, and The Secret History of Hacking Adding these would provide a more complete summary of Mitnick's presence in film, television, documentaries, and radio.

Kewsong Lee

Suggested revisions

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

The current headshot is low-quality. I propose substituting a more recent high-quality photo. See a more recent image in the linked Business Insider article.

Additionally, Lee and his wife’s philanthropic giving are not mentioned on the page, despite receiving media coverage. I suggest adding a philanthropy section to the page, potential inclusions and sources includes below.

Lee and his wife, Zita Ezpeleta, established a challenge fund to support ungraduated experience and the renewal of the Lowell House at Harvard, where the couple met. Lee is the chair of New York’s Lincoln Center Theater. He is also vicechair of the board of directors at Partnership for New York City.

Suggested edits to The Carlyle Group section

Hello again, I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Kewsong Lee. There is limited information on the page related to Mr. Lee’s tenure at Carlyle. Two suggested additions below.

For the section on the global credit unit, suggested change: “Carlyle’s credit assets under management doubled to $56 billion after Lee assumed control of the business.”

Wall Street Journal: <ref> https://www.wsj.com/articles/carlyle-ceo-kewsong-lee-plots-rebound-for-private-equity-pioneer-11619352001 (4/25/2021)

There is no information about Mr. Lee’s tenure as CEO. Suggested addition: While serving as CEO he is credited with simplifying Carlyle’s fund structure, organizing the firm into three distinct business units—private equity, credit and investment solutions. During his tenure, Carlyle also abandoned its partnership structure, converting into a corporation. Days before Lee stepped down as CEO, Carlyle announced that it reached a record $376 billion total assets under management.

Wall Street Journal: <ref> https://www.wsj.com/articles/carlyle-ceo-kewsong-lee-plots-rebound-for-private-equity-pioneer-11619352001 (4/25/2021) Reuters: <ref> https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/carlyles-second-quarter-earnings-rise-34-strong-asset-sales-2022-07-28/ (7/28/2021)

Thank you for considering! Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 14:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Partly done: The WSJ clearly attributes doubling of the credit assets under management and the fund simplification/reorganization to Lee, so I've incorporated that info. Carlyle's conversion to a corporation already appears in entry. Within the Reuters ref, the $376b AUM was attributed to several factors. Pegnawl (talk) 19:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you!

Think you mistakenly wrote that Carlyle's conversion to a corporation occurred in 2021, when it occurred in 2019. See the WSJ article sourced. Appreciate your assistance on this. Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 13:26, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Korean Language and Photo

Hello again, I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Kewsong Lee.

Mr. Lee’s page includes his name spelled in Korean three times. Mr. Lee was born in the U.S., and I recommend removing all three instances so that the page is more in line with Mr. Lee’s peers, who do not have non-English spellings of their names in their articles.

Additionally, the current photo in the article appears to be low-quality. I suggest that someone update the photo with a higher-quality image in the public domain.

Thank you Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 20:45, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Partly done: Photo from Commons added. I still find myself confused with regard to policies on naming conventions in other languages, so I will leave this open for another editor to address. Pegnawl (talk) 19:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

In my opinion, his Korean name should be kept since he has ties to the ROK given he lived in the country for his early years. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 01:42, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing. I do want to point out that there is no citation on the page stating that Lee lived in Korea his early years. He was born and raised in the United States, and does not have a Korean passport or citizenship. Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 15:06, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

I recently learned of MOS:FOREIGNEQUIV, which states If the subject of the article is closely associated with a non-English language, a single equivalent name in another language may be included in the lead sentence, usually in parentheses.. As the subject is not closely related with a non-English language, I accordingly removed the Korean name from the lead sentence. — 🌊PacificDepths (talk) 23:25, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Early Life / Career sections

Hello again. I would like to suggest one edit to the early life section and one additional edits to the career section of the page.

Early life and education

Mr. Lee’s father’s name is spelled incorrectly. As you can see in his published works, his name is “Hak Chong Lee.”

https://www.amazon.com/Korean-Managerial-Dynamics-Hak-Chong/dp/0275931900

https://egrove.olemiss.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1199&context=mgmtservices

Career section

Related to Lee’s departure from Carlyle, the Financial Times article cited on the page noted that the leadership change was more “about power rather than money.” Therefore, it would be more accurate to amend the section of the article to, “On August 8, 2022, Lee stepped down from his role as CEO due to disagreements with the firm’s founders over direction of the company.”

Thank you Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 17:51, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Proposal 1:  Done But I provided the spelling formerly used as an alternate spelling because of its use by the Korea Times.

Proposal 2:  Not done I am not able to access the Financial Times due to a paywall but Reuters reported he stepped down over his contract so it seems likely to me that was the overriding reason.

P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 01:42, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for review, however, it is incorrect that he stepped down due to a dispute in negotiations regarding his contract renewal and I maintain that that section should be altered.

In the Reuters story cited, there is even a quote attributing the departure to "the empire striking back." The quote continues… "All the other private equity managers that we cover have had internal, homegrown talent lead their transition from the founders, and that is probably not an accident. It is a business where personalities matter."

The FT article I cited above writes, “Carlyle’s rejection was, in the end, about power rather than money. ‘He wanted complete autonomy,’ said one person close to the situation. ‘The founders gave it to him. Then, they took it away.’” Try this link to the article, it should allow you to read the full text. https://on.ft.com/3VXXnBV

You could also see that quote in this tweet:

https://x.com/evanepstein/status/1558928049676005377

Again, I argue that the dispute was more about the direction of the company than the contract and the section should be edited accordingly. Thank you. Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 15:07, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Suggested revisions

Hello, I uploaded a new photo of Mr. Lee to the Wiki portal for inclusion on the page. Mr. Lee owns the rights to the photo. As I am a conflicted editor, is it possible for someone to add the photo to the page?

Separately, there are a few potential edits that I have flagged on the talk page that I would like to follow up on.

Firstly, it is inaccurate to write, “Lee stepped down from his role as CEO due to a dispute in negotiations regarding his contract renewal.” As reported in the Financial Times, “Carlyle’s rejection was, in the end, about power rather than money. ‘He wanted complete autonomy,’ said one person close to the situation. ‘The founders gave it to him. Then, they took it away.’” Try this link: https://on.ft.com/3VXXnBV

I want to reiterate that it was reported the dispute was more about the direction of the company than the contract, and the section should be edited accordingly.

Secondly, I still believe it is confusing that the page includes the Korean spelling of Mr. Lee’s name three times. Mr. Lee was born and raised in the U.S., and he does not have a Korean passport or citizenship. I recommend removing all three instances so that the page is in line with peers. There is no citation stating that Mr. Lee lived his early years in Korea as another editor suggested.

Thirdly, the page mistakenly says Carlyle’s conversion to a corporation occurred in 2021. The conversion occurred in 2019. See source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/carlyle-to-abandon-partnership-structure-and-dual-class-shares-11564569000

Lastly, as the page is currently lacking in concrete actions during Mr. Lee’s tenure as CEO of Carlyle, wanted to share the below information from a Financial Times story for potential inclusion.

“Early in his tenure, Lee focused on repositioning Carlyle’s then-struggling credit investment platform by naming new leadership, streamlining strategy and expanding through increased investment and acquisitions. Now, his priority is making similar changes to energy and infrastructure platforms…As part of the reorganisation, Carlyle will promote Macky Tall, chair of its infrastructure operations, to an expanded role that will have him define and put in place Carlyle’s integrated strategy.” Link here: https://on.ft.com/4dHsAzr

Thank you for your consideration. Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 14:13, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

I've updated the image. Leaving the rest for other editors. Rusalkii (talk) 22:17, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Much appreciated, thank you! Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 18:41, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Wanted to share new coverage from Bloomberg that provides further evidence/citation that Mr. Lee’s departure from Carlyle was driven by a power battle with the founders, not a dispute over his contract renewal. Thanks

“The year Carlyle doubled its credit assets, CEO Lee abruptly left the firm after a power battle with the founders.”

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-20/carlyle-s-credit-unit-aims-to-end-its-long-run-as-a-laggard Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 16:43, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Sharing news coverage announcing Kewsong Lee’s appointment as Chairman of Ascot Group, and his firm’s investment in the insurance firm. The coverage also notes that Mr. Lee is the Founder and CEO of BellTower Partners.

I recommend updating his title in the introduction to reflect his role at BellTower Partners, as well as making a brief addition to the career section about BellTower Partners and the Ascot investment. Thank you.

Partly done: I've updated the date, but please provide examples of what you want the other sections to say - providing us with sources on their own isn't useful, and we need to know what you're wanting the article's text changing to. Encoded  Talk 💬 10:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Here are my suggested revisions and language.

1) For Mr. Lee’s title, it should be changed to “Founder and CEO of BellTower Partners” in the introduction and in the infobox.

2) In the “Career” section, recommend creating a new subsection titled “BellTower Partners.” And then under that it should note that “in 2023, Mr. Lee founded BellTower Partners, a private holding company that accesses and invests permanent capital to acquire significant and influential ownership positions in private businesses.”

3) Recommend editing this language “On August 8, 2022, Lee stepped down from his role as CEO due to a dispute in negotiations regarding his contract” to “On August 8, 2022, Lee stepped down from his role as CEO due to disagreements with the firm’s founders over direction of the company.”

4) Recommend adding language under the “Carlyle” subhead, “During his tenure, Lee focused on repositioning Carlyle’s credit investment, energy, and infrastructure platforms.”

5) Remove the Korean spellings of Mr. Lee’s name throughout. Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 14:45, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello, noticed that this request was no longer on the COI list, adding it back. List four potential edits with citations and reasoning. Thank you.

1) For Mr. Lee’s title, it should be updated to “Founder and CEO of BellTower Partners” in the introduction and in the infobox.

2) In the “Career” section, recommend creating a new subsection titled “BellTower Partners.” And then under that it should note that “in 2023, Mr. Lee founded BellTower Partners, a private holding company that accesses and invests permanent capital to acquire significant and influential ownership positions in private businesses.”

3) Recommend editing this language “On August 8, 2022, Lee stepped down from his role as CEO due to a dispute in negotiations regarding his contract” to “On August 8, 2022, Lee stepped down from his role as CEO due to disagreements with the firm’s founders over direction of the company.” The Financial Times article cited on the page noted that the leadership change was more “about power rather than money.”

4) Remove the Korean spellings of Mr. Lee’s name throughout. Mr. Lee was born and raised in the U.S., and he does not have a Korean passport or citizenship. Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 16:41, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

• BellTower Partners:  Implemented using my own wording.
• Departure from Carlyle:  Implemented. I used expanded sources from New York Times and Reuters. Please review the latest version.
• Korean name: Question: What is the motivation for removing the Korean name? There are Korean-language sources that use the subject's Korean name without an English gloss. The Korean name can be useful in finding sources in all available languages.

— 🌊PacificDepths^talk|contrib 11:41, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for engaging here, @PacificDepths.

1 - If helpful on Lee’s departure from Carlyle, this Financial News story from March notes, “He joined several months after Kewsong Lee grabbed headlines for resigning as chief executive, having reportedly clashed with the firm’s co-founders about their degree of involvement with the firm and his desire for more autonomy.”

2 - The current section on Lee’s tenure as sole CEO is only one sentence. Potential content to provide a more complete picture below. The following sources show a clear track record of broadening Carlyle’s strategic approach and expanding its credit business.

• WSJ – March 21, 2022 – Carlyle’s acquisition of Fortitude Re, boosted the firm’s assets under management and advanced the firm towards Mr. Lee’s goal of growing global credit assets and fee-related earnings.
  • “The new agreement advances Carlyle toward some of the goals set last year by Chief Executive Kewsong Lee: boosting global credit assets to more than $80 billion by 2024 and doubling the segment’s fee-related earnings.”
• Financial Times – July 28, 2022 – In 2022, driven by Mr. Lee’s “strategy to broaden Carlyle’s operations”, Carlyle’s fee-earning assets in its credit business surpassed its private equity assets for the first time in its 35-year history.
  • “Dealmaking pioneer Carlyle Group has more fee-earning assets in its credit investment business than in private equity for the first time in its 35-year history.”
  • “Since Lee assumed sole leadership of the $376bn-in-assets group in 2020, he has embarked on a strategy to broaden Carlyle’s operations.”
• Barron’s – April 8, 2022 – Under Mr. Lee’s leadership, Carlyle diversified beyond the company’s private-equity roots, shifting the focus from traditional performance fees to more-predictable fee-related earnings growth.
  • “Kewsong Lee, chief executive of Carlyle Group, has reshaped the alternative-asset manager, diversifying beyond the company’s private-equity roots to capitalize on the explosive demand for private assets.”
  • “Since becoming co-CEO in 2018 and taking the reins solo in 2020, Lee has expanded the company beyond its roots in private-equity leveraged buyouts. He has shifted the focus from traditional performance fees to more-predictable fee-related earnings growth that analysts say drives shareholder returns.”
• Bloomberg – February 23, 2021 – Carlyle’s investment portfolio performed well during the pandemic.
  • “Its investment portfolios have performed well during the pandemic, posting gains across all business units last quarter.”

3 - Lastly, on the Korean name point, there is a risk of misrepresentation—a reader may mistakenly perceived Mr. Lee as a Korean national, when in fact he is an American citizen and does not hold a Korean passport.

Thank you again. Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 17:08, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Can you be explicit on the text that you'd like changed with the citations formatted in Wikipedia format? Preferably as a new edit COI request.

Korean name: I don't see the issue here. For comparison, Patsy Mink, Norman Mineta, Young Kim, John Yoo, and Victor Cha are notable Asian Americans (and to my knowledge, American citizens) with notations of names in other languages. — 🌊PacificDepths (talk) 07:09, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you PacificDepths and Encoded!

Think the section on Lee as sole CEO of Carlyle should be expanded. To be specific, my recommended additions would be:

Under Lee’s leadership, Carlyle diversified beyond the company’s private equity roots, with its credit business surpassing its private equity assets for the first time in its 35-year history (Financial Times and Barron’s). Carlyle’s 2022 acquisition of Fortitude Re also advanced the firm toward the goals set by Lee, boosting global credit assets and doubling the segment’s fee-related earnings (WSJ). In its second quarter 2022 earnings report, Carlyle reported that fee-related earnings rose 65% to $236 million from $143 million the year prior, driven by growth in management fees from its credit business (Reuters). Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 16:09, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

I reviewed the sources and I made some changes, different to how your wrote them here. — 🌊PacificDepths (talk) 10:02, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Thank you!

For awareness and citation if needed, sharing a story that ran yesterday reiterating that Lee’s departure was due to a power struggle, “…the aftermath of a power struggle that led to the departure of former chief Kewsong Lee in 2022.” Financial Times (August 6, 2025)

Also, want to provide more context about Carlyle’s stock price under Lee’s tenure as CEO. Currently, the only reference to the stock notes, “Bloomberg News said the poor performance of the company's stock price prompted the founders to act.” However, I believe this is an incomplete picture; Carlyle shares hit a then all-time in November of 2021, under Lee. Additionally, as noted in this Financial Times story, “the firm’s stock has doubled since he [Lee] took over.” Financial Times (October 31, 2021)

“The poor performance” currently referenced on the page was largely due to external and market factors. For comparison, the stocks of private equity peers suffered during that same window, with Fortune writing “while this trio’s [KKR, Blackstone, and Apollo] common stock lost around 20% in 2022.” Fortune (July 13, 2023) Nbaderrubenstein (talk) 21:04, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

Re: Korean name. I recently learned of MOS:FOREIGNEQUIV, which states If the subject of the article is closely associated with a non-English language, a single equivalent name in another language may be included in the lead sentence, usually in parentheses.. As the subject is not closely related with a non-English language, I accordingly removed the Korean name from the lead sentence. — 🌊PacificDepths (talk) 21:33, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Thank you!

If we are adding the USL vice chairmanship to the first paragraph, should Mr. Lee’s chairmanship of Ascot Group and Patricof Co also be included there? Or at least referenced in the BellTower section? See news article noting Ascot chairmanship below. Full transparency, the Patricof Co chairmanship has only been mentioned in press releases and on the company website.  

• Reinsurance News: Kewsong Lee named Chairman of Ascot’s Board of Directors
• Press release: BellTower Partners Makes Strategic Growth Investment in United Soccer League; Founder and CEO Kewsong Lee Named Vice Chair

If helpful and relevant for Wikipedia readers, the Reuters article already sourced on the page discusses Carlyle stock during Lee’s tenure, noting that:

• “Carlyle's shares rose 66% from the time Lee started leading the firm at the beginning of 2018 until he stepped down on Sunday.”
• “To be sure, Carlyle's stock performance under Lee was better than under the stewardship of its founders. Carlyle shares dropped 12% in the five years before Lee took over, compared with a 110%, 38%, and 121% rise in the shares of Blackstone, KKR and Apollo, respectively.”

Introduction:

• Current: “He founded BellTower Partners in 2023 and in 2025 became the vice chair of the United Soccer League.”
• Change to: “He founded BellTower Partners in 2023. In 2024, he was appointed chairman of Ascot Group and Patricof Co. In 2025, he became the vice chair of the United Soccer League.”

2013 to 2022; The Carlyle Group:

• Current: “Bloomberg News said the poor performance of the company's stock price prompted the founders to act.”
• Change to: “Bloomberg News said the poor performance of the company's stock price prompted the founders to act. Reuters reported that “Carlyle's stock performance under Lee was better than under the stewardship of its founders.””

Additionally, I suggest continuing to build out the 2023 to present; BellTower Partners section as new developments occur, including BellTower’s investment in AMAG Technology. Suggested addition is: “In December 2025, BellTower announced an investment in AMAG Technology, a global provider of physical security and identity management solutions.” Sources below:

Khalili Foundation

Requested edit

The article as it exists now is very out-of-date. With a new draft that I've written in my userspace, I've used more third-party sources and given more detail both about the present activities of the Khalili Foundation and its past activities when it was named the Maimonides Foundation. Because I receive money from the Khalili Foundation as part of a GLAM project, I have a conflict of interest. Please could another editor look over my version and paste it into this article, or give me permission to do so. Naturally, I'm happy to discuss any improvements to the draft. Pinging @TYelliot: as the main contributor to the present version of the article. MartinPoulter (talk) 09:43, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

 Partly done: PK650 (talk) 11:10, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

@PK650: Thanks so, so much for doing this. I've edited just to delete a rogue comma and to fix a citation warning. Just a few further suggestions: The quotation "cultural, academic, sporting and educational programmes" in the lead was sourced to the old version of the foundation's web site, not its present web site, which is potentially confusing. I don't think this sentence needs its own citation, since it's summarising what is already cited in body text. Again in the lead, wouldn't "art, culture and education communication" be better without the final word? "Education communication" doesn't sound correct. I think "Jewish - Christian - Muslim interfaith (Abrahamic religions)" would read more elegantly without the bracketed phrase. Do you agree?

P.S. These people mentioned in the Infobox as "Key people" - Rabbi Professor Jonathan Magonet, Lord Hameed of Hampstead, Robert Yentob - I think can be safely removed. They are not mentioned in the rest of the article (or the article's sources, as far as I can tell) and they do not seem to be currently involved with the foundation. Since Sir David Khalili is already identified in the Infobox as Founder, I don't think this article needs a "Key people" line.

P.P.S. You didn't add the {{Nasser Khalili}} navigation template at the foot of the article: do you have any objection to it?

To address the (who?) tag, the quote from the source is from Mehri Niknam "Six months later 9/11 happened and everyone told us it would be impossible to co-operate with Muslims.". How about the following as a replacement for that paragraph?

In the aftermath of the September 11th attacks in the United States, according to Mehri Niknam, Executive Director of what was then named the Maimonides Foundation, "everyone told us it would be impossible to co-operate with Muslims." Instead they intensified their effort, considering it especially urgent to promote peace via inter-cultural understanding.[8] Niknam said at a conference about the attacks that "religions cannot be isolationist, cultures must develop or stagnate, and communities need to interact."[9]

MartinPoulter (talk) 16:07, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

In the thread above I've suggested some small changes to make the lead flow more easily and to make the article consistent. I've suggested removing "(Abrahamic religions)", removing the superfluous word "communication", removing the quotes and citation from "cultural, academic, sporting and educational programmes" (rewording if necessary), removing the "key people" line from the infobox, adding the navigation template at the foot of the article, and replacing one specific paragraph with what is given above (preserving the existing references). If anyone can make these changes, or give me permission to make them, I'd be very grateful. MartinPoulter (talk) 09:56, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I've done some of what you've requested. I think Abrahamic is a key aspect of the foundation, and as such have left it. PK650 (talk) 06:32, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Requested edit December 2024

Hi, the Khalili Foundation has had some media coverage recently. I'm the Wikimedian In Residence, so I'm suggesting the following additional content for this article.

1) To go in the Partnerships section after the first paragraph (on the Commonwealth):

On 12 August 2024, the Khalili Foundation, the charity Peace One Day and the Commonwealth celebrated International Youth Day with a six-hour streamed broadcast in which young people shared accounts of working for peace, sustainability and democracy.

In September 2024, the Khalili Foundation and the Commonwealth announced the Commonwealth Peace Prize. To be awarded in 2025, this has a value of £50,000 and will be awarded to a Commonwealth citizen, at least 30 years old, who has made significant achievements in bringing about sustainable peace.

2) At the end of the Partnerships section:

The Foundation is a founding partner in the The King’s Commonwealth Fellowship Programme (KCFP), announced in October 2024. In partnership with the Association of Commonwealth Universities, this offers funding to individuals in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to help them tackle the climate and economic challenges faced by those countries. The programme has three strands, supporting professionals in public service, undergraduate students, and doctoral students.

To be clear, is it basically the role of a Wikipedian in Residence to spot some media coverage and then try to crowbar it into the article?

Requested edit April 2025

The Khalili Foundation's peacebuilding work has had a lot more media attention in the last month, in particular for the awarding of the inaugural peace prize. My request is for an insertion after the first paragraph of the Partnerships section:

Presentation of the first Commonwealth Peace Prize to the joint winners Pastor James Wuye (left) and Imam Muhammad Ashafa (right) by Baroness Scotland and Sir David Khalili

The partnership with the Commonwealth has included the creation of the Commonwealth Peace Prize, first awarded in March 2025. The joint winners, Pastor James Wuye and Imam Muhammad Ashafa, fought on opposing sides of Nigeria’s Christian/Muslim conflict in the 1990s but subsequently founded the Interfaith Mediation Centre to promote peace in Nigeria and other conflict regions. The award included a £50,000 donation from the Khalili Foundation for the centre. The presentation included the performance of a song, "Love in Peace", composed for the occasion by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Ben Elton and Bruno Major. The Khalili Foundation also made five awards of 2,000 to young Commonwealth citizens for peace-building work.

 Not done: This addition may place undue emphasis on recent events. Perception312 (talk) 22:52, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Requested edit April 2026

The above edit request was declined because of too much emphasis on the award ceremony, which is fair enough. Still, the Commonwealth Peace Prize got a lot of coverage, a lot of which explicitly mentions the Khalili Foundation. So it's reasonable to expect it to be mentioned in this article. Thus I'm requesting the following paragraph to be added at the end of the Partnerships section:

Presentation of the first Commonwealth Peace Prize to the joint winners Pastor James Wuye (left) and Imam Muhammad Ashafa (right) by Baroness Scotland and Sir David Khalili

The partnership with the Commonwealth has included the creation of the Commonwealth Peace Prize, first awarded in March 2025 to Pastor James Wuye and Imam Muhammad Ashafa. The award included a £50,000 donation from the Khalili Foundation for their Interfaith Mediation Centre.

Requested edits July 2026

1. When Prince Charles became King Charles III, the Prince's Trust was renamed the King's Trust. In the second paragraph of the Partnerships section, please change the text and link.
2. At the end of the International visits section, remove the sentence "The foundation believes they would thus enhance understanding and relationships between Jews and Muslims." and its citation. This isn't really in Wikipedia style and anthropomorphises the foundation. It was formed from a combination of sentences and I think it's redundant because it's clear from context what the goal is.
3. To the end of the Partnerships section add: The Khalili Foundation is a founding supporter of The King's Commonwealth Fellowship Programme delivered through the Association of Commonwealth Universities. The programme offers undergraduate and doctoral scholarships, as well as climate resilience fellowships, to students and professionals in the Commonwealth's Small Island Developing States.
4. The Commonwealth Peace Prize was part of a larger programme, the Commonwealth Faith Festival, which is mentioned in an image caption but not explained in the body text. So the paragraph in the Partnerships section about the Commonwealth Peace Prize should reflect that. Delete the text before "Pastor James Wuye" and begin the paragraph: In March 2024, the Baroness Patricia Scotland and Sir David Khalili announced the Commonwealth Faith Festival, a programme of online and in-person training with awards for peace-building projects. The festival culminated in March 2025 with the award of the first Commonwealth Peace Prize. The recipients were Pastor James Wuye and Imam Muhammad Ashafa[...]

Knight Frank

Edit proposals 09/07/26

Hello,

I have a declared conflict of interest, as I work with Knight Frank. I am therefore not making any edits directly, but would like to ask whether independent editors would be willing to review and consider the proposed changes below.

I noticed that the article currently includes a conflict of interest tag.

With that in mind, I wanted to raise these suggestions transparently on the Talk page for editors to review. My aim is to suggest factual updates that may improve the accuracy and usefulness of the article for readers.

1. Updating the figures in the lead

The current lead states:

“Knight Frank's global network has more than 488 offices across 57 territories and more than 20,000 people managing commercial, agricultural and residential real estate worth more than US$817 billion (£498 billion).”

I suggest updating this to:

Knight Frank's global network has more than 600 offices across 50 markets and more than 20,000 people managing commercial, agricultural and residential real estate.

This would update the office and market figures based on a more recent source.

I have also suggested removing the reference to “commercial, agricultural and residential real estate worth more than US$817 billion (£498 billion)”. My understanding is that figures of this kind may be difficult to keep current over time, so I wanted to check whether editors would be comfortable removing this from the lead unless a more recent reliable source is available.

2. Considering a short description of the firm’s operations

I also wanted to ask whether editors would consider it helpful to include a short, factual description of Knight Frank’s operations, to give readers a clearer summary of the firm’s activities.

One possible wording could be:

Knight Frank is a property consultancy partnership advising on residential and commercial real estate globally. Its services include property transactions, valuation, capital markets and advisory work across international markets.

I appreciate that editors may prefer different wording, placement or sourcing, particularly given that some of the supporting sources are from Knight Frank itself. I would be grateful for any feedback on whether a brief operational description would be appropriate for the article.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Sable57 (talk) 09:20, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

The company's Form 10-K (Item 1) likewise describes itself as a security technology company.

4. Industry (infobox)

• Current: Industry: Robotics

• Proposed: Industry: Security technology

• Source: as in item 3.

5. Robot terminology (lead)

• Current: "...robots called Autonomous Data Robots (ADRs)..."

• Proposed: "...robots called Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs); these were formerly marketed as Autonomous Data Machines (ADMs)..."

• Source: Form 10-K (FY2025) defines "Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs)"; the earlier "Autonomous Data Machine (ADM)" term appears in contemporaneous coverage. The current article's "Autonomous Data Robots (ADRs)" is neither the historical nor the current term.

6. Terminology consistency (body, Washington Harbour incident)

• Current: "...a Knightscope K5 ADM at the Washington Harbour development..."

• Proposed: "...a Knightscope K5 ASR at the Washington Harbour development..."

• Rationale: aligns with item 5 and removes an internal inconsistency (the lead currently reads "ADR," the body "ADM").

7. K5 operation (body, cost-comparison paragraph)

• Current: "...but can operate 24 hours on a single charge..."

• Proposed: "...but can operate around the clock, returning to a charging dock autonomously..."

• Rationale: corrects a technical inaccuracy and aligns with the article's own earlier statement that the K5 patrols and charges autonomously.

8. K1 product line (body)

• Current: "The K1 is a stationary scanner designed for entrances and exits to buildings and can detect weapons in a crowd. It won the Security Today New Product of the Year award."

• Proposed: "The K1 designation now refers to a line of stationary devices, including the K1 Hemisphere (a stationary autonomous security robot) and a range of blue-light emergency communication products — towers, emergency phones and call boxes. A K1 Tower and a next-generation K1 Super Tower are in development."

• Source: Form 10-K (FY2025), Item 1 (Business) and Item 7 (MD&A), which list the current ASR portfolio (K1 Hemisphere, K1 Tower, K5) and ECD portfolio (K1 Blue Light Towers, Blue Light Emergency Phones, Call Boxes) and identify the K7 ASR, K1 Capsule and K1 Super Tower as in development.

9. Founders (infobox)

• Current: Founders: William Santana Li (chairman, CEO) Stacy Stephens (EVP)

• Proposed: Chairman, CEO: William Santana Li; Founder: Stacy Stephens

• Rationale: both are the company's co-founders (a historical fact). The parenthetical current-title annotations are unnecessary in a "Founders" field and are not consistently supported by recent independent sources.

10. Event Risk acquisition (body)

• Current: "In March 2026, Knightscope acquired Event Risk, a national company that provides security guards and executive protection."

• Proposed: "In February 2026, Knightscope acquired Event Risk LLC, a nationwide provider of armed and unarmed security guarding and executive protection services, for total consideration of approximately $18 million. Event Risk operates as a wholly owned subsidiary under the name Knightscope Security Force."

• Source: Form 10-K (FY2025), Item 1 and Note 11, and Form 10-Q (Q1 2026): the acquisition closed February 27, 2026; total consideration was approximately $18.0 million; Event Risk does business as Knightscope Security Force.

11. Strategy/positioning (suggested addition to the lead or body)

• Proposed addition: "Since 2022, Knightscope has expanded beyond autonomous robots into emergency communication devices and, following its 2026 acquisition of Event Risk, licensed security guarding. The company describes this integrated model — combining autonomous machines, software, monitoring and licensed personnel under a single managed service — as building what it calls 'the nation's first Autonomous Security Force.'"

• Source: TipRanks (March 3, 2026) and TipRanks/Globe and Mail (March 4, 2026) for the repositioning toward managed security services and the U.S. physical security market context; Form 10-K (FY2025) for the platform description. The phrase "Autonomous Security Force" is attributed to the company, not stated as fact.

12. Company logo (infobox)

• Request: Please add Knightscope's current official logo to the infobox via the |logo= parameter. The infobox currently has no logo.

• Source for the logo: the logo as displayed on the company's official website, knightscope.com.
• Licensing: The logo is a trademark of Knightscope, Inc. If you judge the mark to be above the threshold of originality, it would be uploaded locally to English Wikipedia as low-resolution non-free content under a fair-use rationale for infobox identification (consistent with WP:LOGO). If the wordmark is below the threshold of originality, it may instead be hosted on Wikimedia Commons under a public-domain text-logo tag.

.As a disclosed paid editor, I am identifying the official public source only; I leave the upload and the licensing determination to an uninvolved editor. I am not requesting removal of any existing photograph.

Thank you for reviewing these. Chris041587 (talk) 16:47, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Kovas

Requested updates — outdated article (2020+)

Hello — I am disclosing that I have a connection to the subject of this article per WP:COI. The article has not been updated since approximately 2020 and is missing several verifiable facts, including a major award, multiple credits, and an inaccurate infobox. I am providing suggested changes below with reliable sources for each. I am requesting that a neutral editor review and apply these at their discretion.

1. Infobox — Occupations are inaccurate

Current: Rapper, actor, record producer

Suggested: Film and television composer, record producer, songwriter, recording artist, voice actor

Rationale: KOVAS's primary professional activity since 2018 has been film and television scoring, with 38 episodes of On My Block (Netflix), The Crossover (Disney+), Lil Kev (BET+), and numerous other series and films. The current infobox does not list "composer" at all. "Rapper" is not accurate to his current or primary career.

Source: IMDb — KOVAS, musicbykovas.com/projects

---

2. Lead paragraph — Rewrite to reflect current career

Current opening:

Kovasciar Myvette (born August 1, 1985), known professionally as KOVAS, is an American songwriter, record producer, music composer, and recording artist of Spanish and French descent (Central America and Morocco).

Suggested opening:

Kovasciar Myvette (born August 1, 1985), known professionally as KOVAS, is an American composer, record producer, songwriter, and recording artist of Central American, Moroccan, French, and Spanish heritage, raised in Brooklyn, New York. He is known for his work as a film and television composer, with credits including the Netflix series On My Block (38 episodes) and Freeridge, the Disney+ series The Crossover (which won a Children's and Family Emmy Award in 2023), and the BET+ animated series Lil Kev. He won a Clio Award in 2017 for his work on a Dunkin' Donuts campaign.

Sources:

• Emmy Award: Television Academy — Winners Database (search "The Crossover" 2023)
• Clio Award: Clio Awards — KOVAS winner page (already cited as Ref [2])
• On My Block 38 episodes: IMDb
• Heritage correction: IMDb Bio

---

3. Emmy Award — Completely missing

The article does not mention that The Crossover (Disney+), for which KOVAS composed the score, won a Children's and Family Emmy Award in 2023 for Outstanding Young Adult or Children's Series. The series also received additional Emmy nominations.

Suggested addition (Awards section or body):

In 2023, the Disney+ series The Crossover, for which KOVAS composed the score, won a Children's and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Young Adult or Children's Series. The series received multiple Emmy nominations.

Note: This is an award won by the show. KOVAS composed the score. Do NOT phrase as "KOVAS won an Emmy" — the award was for the series, not individual music composition.

Source: Television Academy — Winners Database

---

4. NAACP Award — Completely missing

The Paramount+ film Fantasy Football, for which KOVAS composed the score, won an NAACP Image Award.

Suggested addition:

The Paramount+ film Fantasy Football (2022), scored by KOVAS, won an NAACP Image Award.

Note: The NAACP Award was won by the film/director. KOVAS composed the score. Do NOT phrase as "KOVAS won an NAACP Award."

Source: NAACP Image Awards — official records / ceremony coverage

---

5. After Jackie — Emmy-Nominated Documentary (missing from accolades)

The History Channel documentary After Jackie (2022), for which KOVAS composed the score, received an Emmy nomination.

Suggested addition:

After Jackie (2022), a History Channel documentary scored by KOVAS, received an Emmy Award nomination.

Note: The Emmy nomination was for the documentary as a production. KOVAS composed the score.

Source: IMDb — After Jackie

---

6. Missing film and television credits (2021–2025)

The following verifiable credits are absent from the article:

Title	Network/Platform	Year	Role	Source
The Crossover	Disney+	2023	Composer	IMDb
Freeridge	Netflix	2023	Composer	IMDb
Boo, Bitch	Netflix	2022	Composer	IMDb
Lil Kev	BET+	2025	Composer	IMDb
After Jackie	History Channel	2022	Composer	IMDb (Emmy-nominated documentary)

Empire Waist	Film	2024	Composer	IMDb
30 for 30	ESPN	2025	Additional Music	IMDb
Fantasy Football	Paramount+	2022	Composer	IMDb

All credits are verifiable via IMDb (already cited on the article).

---

7. GTA IV voice acting — Missing

KOVAS provided a voice role in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV (Rockstar Games, 2008). This is not mentioned on the article.

Source: IMDb — KOVAS

---

8. Taylor Swift VMA — Clarify year and award

Current: "He scored the music for the opening music sequence of Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' MTV VMA Award-winning music video"

Suggested: "He scored the opening music sequence for Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' music video, which won Best Female Video at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards."

Rationale: Adding the year and correct award category (Best Female Video, not Video of the Year) provides accurate context.

---

9. CoverGirl campaigns — Third campaign missing

The article mentions CoverGirl commercials featuring Queen Latifah and Drew Barrymore directed by Hype Williams. A third campaign featuring Pink, Janelle Monáe, and Sofia Vergara, also directed by Hype Williams, is not mentioned.

Source: IMDb — KOVAS

---

10. Captain Phillips — Add context

Current: "His song 'Up in Here' is featured on the Chocolate Swim, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim compilation as well as the Oscar nominated film Captain Phillips."

Suggested: "His song 'Up in Here' appears on the soundtrack of Captain Phillips (2013), the Academy Award-nominated film directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Tom Hanks."

Rationale: Proper formatting and context for a major film credit.

---

11. Heritage description — Minor fix

Current: "of Spanish and French descent (Central America and Morocco)"

Suggested: "of Central American, Moroccan, French, and Spanish heritage, raised in Brooklyn, New York"

Rationale: The current phrasing is grammatically awkward and doesn't clearly communicate the full heritage.

---

12. ASCAP membership

KOVAS is a member of ASCAP (performing rights organization). This is standard biographical information for composers on Wikipedia.

Source: ASCAP ACE Repertory (searchable)

Thank you for reviewing these suggested changes. All sources cited are either already referenced on the article (IMDb, Clio Awards) or are verifiable official databases (Television Academy, NAACP Image Awards, ASCAP). I have not edited the article directly per COI guidelines.

Kronk Gym

COI edit request: 2025 Brewster-Wheeler reopening and history update (sourced)

Hi Wikipedia Team: Sorry Deacon, I got your message loud and clear on the AI usage. My apologies. I just wanted to share, I have a conflict of interest, as I am the majority owner and CEO of KRONK. I am requesting that an uninvolved wikipedia editor review the changes I am sharing below.

Updates for Review:

1. 2025 reopening: Independent coverage reports Kronk Gym reopened in 2025 at the Brewster-Wheeler Recreation Center, 670 Wilkins Street, Detroit. Sources and associated URL's: - AP via ESPN: https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/45452226/boxing-famed-kronk-gym-closed-2006-reopen-detroit - CBS News Detroit: https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/iconic-boxing-brand-kronk-gym-making-its-return-to-detroit/ - Spectrum News 1 Michigan: https://spectrumlocalnews.com/mi/michigan/news/2025/06/05/kronk-gym-to-reopen-at-detroit-s-historic-brewster-wheeler-center - Detroit Metro Times: https://www.metrotimes.com/news/metro-detroit-news/detroits-storied-kronk-gym-reopens-in-historic-brewster-wheeler-recreation-center/

2. History clarification: The Associated Press (via ESPN, 4 June 2025) states the original Kronk boxing gym was established in 1971 by Emanuel Steward. The article currently says the facility opened in 1921. These refer to different things (the recreation-center building vs. Steward's boxing program); requesting the distinction be clarified, citing AP for the 1971 date.

3. Champions: Requesting these be reflected with citations — Hilmer Kenty (WBA lightweight champion, 1980; Kronk's first world champion) and Thomas Hearns (five world titles; International Boxing Hall of Fame), both supported by the AP story above plus BoxRec and the Hall of Fame (ibhof.com).

Thank you very much in advance for reviewing.

Cheers,

COI edit request: neutral, sourced rewrite of the article

I have a conflict of interest: I am connected to the current ownership of Kronk Gym, and I am disclosing that here rather than editing the article directly. The current article is largely unstructured prose, has an unsourced trivia paragraph at the end (the "1980 Manny Steward… Silver gloves" line, with misspelled names), uses promotional wording and future tense in the section on the 2025 reopening, and has no infobox. I would be grateful if an uninvolved editor would review the neutral, sourced replacement below and implement all or part of it. Happy to adjust anything that doesn't meet policy.

Proposed replacement article text:

Kronk Gym
Location
Detroit, Michigan, U.S.
Type
Boxing gym
Construction
Opened
1921
Reopened
2015; 2025

Kronk Gym is a boxing gym in Detroit, Michigan, best known as the training base of Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward and a long list of world champions during the 1980s. The gym takes its name from Detroit city councilman John Kronk, and the recreation center that housed it opened in 1921.

COI edit request: Legal issues section





Paid/COI disclosure: I am an employee of Levy Institute. The article subject has not personally asked me to submit this edit request.

Requested edit: Please remove the entire one-sentence section titled “Legal issues,” added in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=L._Randall_Wray&diff=prev&oldid=1353669419

The material concerns a charge rather than a conviction and currently relies on a single local-news article. I have not found multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the incident. Please review the material under WP:BLPCRIME, WP:BLPPUBLIC, WP:BLPSTYLE, and WP:BLPBALANCE, including whether a standalone section gives disproportionate weight to a recent event.

Thank you. RiverMaple47 (talk) 19:52, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
LLM-as-a-Judge




Proposed addition: 2022 Crowd Score method (COI edit request)



 
COI disclosure: I am a co-author of the original Crowd Score paper. I previously added material about it directly before understanding the conflict-of-interest process; I am now requesting review by uninvolved editors instead and will not edit the article myself. 

Requested addition (placement at editors' discretion, in the article body): In 2022, the Crowd Score method used LLMs as AI judges with personality profiles to evaluate the funniness of jokes, producing scores that correlated with human judgments.
 

Sourcing: Both supporting sources are published, peer-reviewed ACL proceedings papers whose authors do not overlap with those of the Crowd Score paper; neither the original arXiv preprint nor any publication authored by me is cited. Romanowski et al. (p. 39) state that Crowd Score "was introduced to classify jokes using LLMs as AI judges, by providing a personality profile with zero-shot prompting." Zhou et al. (p. 16275) state that "LLMs have been used as humor judges in the Crowd Score framework, producing funniness scores correlating with human judgments." The proposed sentence closely follows these published descriptions. 

Scope: This request makes no claim that Crowd Score was the first LLM-as-a-Judge method or that it popularized the field. It documents a dated example that independent published sources explicitly describe as using LLMs as judges. Given the ongoing sourcing discussion above, I understand that editors may prefer to defer this request until the article's broader issues are resolved. I leave inclusion, placement, and final wording entirely to uninvolved editors. Research zombie (talk) 18:28, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

For editors' reference only, the paper under discussion is Goes, Zhou, Sawicki, Grześ & Brown, "Crowd Score: A Method for the Evaluation of Jokes using Large Language Model AI Voters as Judges" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.11214, December 2022); I am not proposing it as a citation in the article.

LaSalle Investment Management




Updating infobox





Hi there! I'm a COI editor working on behalf of LaSalle Investment. If you want more information on my conflict of interest, please use this link to view my user page.

I'd like to ask if it's possible to update a couple aspects of the article's infobox. The Asia Pacific office is no longer being run by Keith Fujii. There are now two co-heads: Kunihiko Okumura and Steve Hyung Kim. And the most current Assets Under Management (AUM) figure is $88.8 million, as of December 31, 2024.

Request for editors to review full article draft





Hello! My previous request was accepted, so the article's infobox is now up to date. For my next one, I'd like to propose a full article rewrite. I know that sounds a little bit drastic on its face, but the article is very short and in poor shape, so I thought I would rewrite the whole thing with better sourcing and content that aligns more closely with Wikipedia's guidelines. Here's my full article draft. First, the introduction:

LaSalle Investment Management ("LaSalle") is a real estate investment management firm that operates an independent subsidiary of JLL. The firm invests in real estate for institutional investors such as pension funds, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds. It is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has 24 offices across North America, Europe, and Asia.

And next, my version of  the History section:

LaSalle Investment Management was formed in 1999, when the U.S. real estate investment firm LaSalle Partners merged with U.K.-based Jones Lang Wootton to create James Lang LaSalle (JLL). It was set up to function as a subsidiary of JLL that advises large institutions.

Since its inception, LaSalle has expanded from traditional commercial property development into specialized sectors including life sciences, data centers, self-storage, and student housing. The firm has also expanded its debt investment operations.

In 2018, LaSalle acquired Aviva Investors' real estate multi-manager business and subsequently launched LaSalle Global Partner Solutions. At this time, LaSalle was managing approximately $58 billion of assets globally. As of 2024, the firm manages about $88 billion in assets.

Laryngopharyngeal reflux




Edit request: add salivary pepsin testing (Peptest) to Diagnosis section





Hello editors. I am the CEO of RD Biomed Limited, manufacturer of the
Peptest diagnostic. I have declared this conflict of interest on my
User page and via the paid-contributor notice at the top of this Talk
page. I am therefore making this request via the Talk page rather than
editing the article directly.

Proposed addition — to the Diagnosis section, immediately
following the existing sentence "A noninvasive test for diagnosis of
LPR is the collection of refluxate where the refluxed material is
collected and analyzed."

Suggested new sentence:

Salivary pepsin immunoassays, including the lateral-flow device
Peptest, have been studied as non-invasive diagnostic tools for LPR.
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have reported moderate diagnostic
accuracy overall, with moderate-to-high specificity but variable
sensitivity, influenced by factors such as saliva collection timing
and the reference standard used for
comparison.Salivary pepsin immunoassays, including the lateral-flow device

Supporting citations (all independent of the manufacturer):







Rationale: The article already discusses pepsin as an LPR
biomarker extensively in the Diagnosis section, including the
Calvo-Henríquez 2017 systematic review (already cited in the article).
The proposed addition completes that discussion by naming the salivary
pepsin assay used in clinical practice and research. All three
citations are independent of the manufacturer: a 2021 meta-analysis
(Beijing-based), a 2023 LPR-specific accuracy study by Lechien
(already a heavily cited authority in this article), and a 2021 Czech
validation study. The wording is deliberately hedged on diagnostic
performance to reflect the genuine mixed evidence.

Thank you for considering. HDettmar (talk) 10:00, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Explanation I am not a fan of academic BLPs that have lengthy descriptions (often peacock) of how wonderful someone's research has been. That said, the current BLP is, IMHO, too limited and the current two sentences imply that is all that I ever did.

References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): Standard reversion of vandalism

Courtesy ping of prior editors @Jähmefyysikko, @Russ Woodroofe, @Rublamb abd @StarryGrandma to revert attack (just a few of those responsible for creating the page). It is somewhat blatant, and the IP is eager to edit war. I have been expecting someone to vandalism the page sometime, and have requested protection. Ldm1954 (talk) 16:24, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
N.B., the page I mentioned on Matt Kalinski is my best guess as to the source for the attack, but may not be correct; which does not matter much with an IP. Ldm1954 (talk) 16:34, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Looks like the problem has already been fixed. Feel free to let me know of future issues.  Rublamb (talk) 16:39, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Read the edit reasons. They are 100% legitimate. If you undo them you are in violation of the terms of service and have been reported. Your account may be banned. Read the edit log summaries very carefully as they explain all the reasons behind the changes. Here are a few in plain English since you are having trouble understanding the Wikipedia terminologies like PROMO etc. For one, your url was broken to a link which you used as a citation. This seems like you’re trying to make up promotional material for yourself that has no backing. Secondly, you clearly say on your own page that you are yourself the person whose page you made. This is clear COI violation and therefore you MUST retain the COI and autobiography tags added to your profile. This is to ensure the safety of the readers that they know you wrote this page about yourself and have a conflict of interest with the info provided. ~2026-23025-0 (talk) 16:56, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

This has apparently been addressed, and it's not an edit request anymore. Clearing the queue. STEMinfo (talk) 07:07, 2 March 2026 (UTC)




Edit request





Please add K. Sujata to the infobox as my wife, and include the below, probably in a one sentence Personal life section:

He is married to the K. Sujata.

Note: Facebook is a viable source if it is used to verify facts. While my name is mentioned in the WSJ article, the facebook image is more definitive.

 Not done:  Adding your wife is simply not necessary, unless she is notable. Facebook is not an appropriate source for personal details. MediaKyle (talk) 15:06, 4 May 2026 (UTC)




Edit request




Please add Category:Microscopists & Category:American materials scientists. The first is evident in the existing text and being a MSA Fellow; the second as I have been an MSE faculty since 1985 as sourced in the current article.
Please add the two sentences (probably at the end of career)
He was chair of the IUCr Commission on Electron Crystallography for two terms from 2005-2010. This involved helping to promote electron crystallography internationally via symposia and workshops.
