Motability


Proposed addition to “Controversy” section: Proctor v HM Treasury litigation

edit

I have an interest in disability rights, welfare rights, and Motability-related legal issues, so I am putting this forward here rather than adding it directly to the article.

Would another editor consider whether the following short addition would be suitable for the “Controversy” section?

Suggested wording:

In April 2026, Disability News Service reported that Motability customer Charlie Proctor had launched legal action against HM Treasury over tax measures affecting the Motability Scheme. The report said the challenge concerned the application of VAT to most advance payments and the removal of an Insurance Premium Tax exemption. Motability Operations said the changes had contributed to revised scheme terms, including lower mileage allowances and higher excess-mileage charges for new leases. Proctor alleged that the measures could disproportionately affect disabled people with higher essential travel needs. HM Treasury said it had received the pre-action letter but would not comment on potential litigation.[1][2]

I have tried to keep the wording neutral by attributing the legal allegations rather than stating them as fact. I think the matter may be relevant because it concerns reported litigation about changes to the Motability Scheme, but I would welcome other editors’ views on due weight and wording.

Having "an interest" can mean two things: either you're interested in those subjects (which means you wouldn't have a COI) or you have interests in those subjects (meaning your financially/relationally tied to either the publications or organizations mentioned in your proposal, in which case you would have a COI). Could you clarify which? When ready to proceed, kindly switch the answer parameter of the request template to 'not answered' or 'no'. Regards,  Spintendo  06:32, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
Hi @Spintendo,
I am relationally and financially tied to motability in 2 ways, I refer my clients to them and I also have a scheme vehicle myself.
I will switch the answer parameter of the request template to not answered.

Mukundara Hills National Park


Sourced correction: national park, tiger reserve area and 2023 Bhainsrodgarh addition

edit

I have a connection to an independent public-interest information project about Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve, so I am requesting review here instead of directly replacing the article. This request is not about adding any external website link.

The current article appears to conflate Mukundara Hills National Park with Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve. The Rajasthan Forest Department separately lists Mukundra Hills National Park as 199.55 km2 and Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve as 1135.787 km2. The department also lists two Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve notifications: F3(8)FOREST/2012 dated 09.04.2013 and F3(22)FOREST/2023 dated 05.10.2023.

Please consider replacing the current lead with the following sourced text:

Mukundara Hills National Park is a national park in south-eastern Rajasthan, India. It forms part of the larger Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve, also spelled Mukundra or Mukandra in some official sources. The Rajasthan Forest Department lists Mukundra Hills National Park as covering 199.55 km2 (77.05 sq mi), while Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve is listed separately as covering 1,135.787 km2 (438.530 sq mi) across Kota, Bundi, Jhalawar and Chittorgarh districts.[3]

The tiger reserve was originally notified in 2013. According to the Wildlife Institute of India's Management Effectiveness Evaluation portal, Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve includes Mukandara National Park, Darrah Sanctuary, Jawahar Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary and part of the Chambal Gharial Sanctuary, and is spread over Kota, Bundi, Chittorgarh and Jhalawar districts.[4] The reserve is located in the Khathiar-Gir dry deciduous forests.[5]

Please also consider adding the following short section after the lead or under “History”:

Proposed new section: Tiger reserve status and area

Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve was notified in 2013 as Rajasthan's third tiger reserve. The original tiger reserve area was 759.99 km2 (293.43 sq mi), comprising a core area of 417.17 km2 (161.07 sq mi) and a buffer area of 342.82 km2 (132.36 sq mi).[4] The Rajasthan Forest Department currently lists two notifications for the tiger reserve: F3(8)FOREST/2012 dated 9 April 2013 and F3(22)FOREST/2023 dated 5 October 2023.[6]

The 2023 notification revised the scheduled area of the tiger reserve to 113,578.70 hectares, or 1,135.787 km2 (438.530 sq mi), replacing the earlier area of 75,999.462 hectares. The revised notification gives 69,071.178 hectares under Schedule I(A) and 44,507.522 hectares under Schedule I(B).[7]

The updated Tiger Conservation Plan states that Bhainsrodgarh Sanctuary was added to Mukandra Hills Tiger Reserve by order 4854336 dated 5 October 2023 and made part of the core tiger reserve.[8] The Rajasthan Forest Department protected-area list still separately lists Bhensrodgarh Sanctuary as a sanctuary of 201.40 km2 (77.76 sq mi), so the article should avoid implying that the sanctuary has ceased to exist as a listed protected area.[3]

Please also update the infobox area field from:

| area = 759.99 km2 (293.43 sq mi)

to something like:

| area =

  • National park: 199.55 km2 (77.05 sq mi)
  • Tiger reserve: 1,135.787 km2 (438.530 sq mi)

Murex is a financial services technology company and market infrastructure provider that provides enterprise-wide, cross-asset capital markets financial technology solutions. Its cross-function platform, MX.3, supports trading, treasury, risk management and post-trade operations.[1] [2]

Murex’s CEO is Elias Eddé. Its executive chairman is Maroun Eddé.[3] It was co-founded founded by Salim Eddé and Laurent Neel.[4]

MX.3, its integrated platform, is used by banks, asset managers, insurance companies, pension funds, hedge funds, corporations, energy utilities and commodities houses in over 65 countries.[5] For more than a decade, Murex has invested over EUR 100 million a year in the development of MX.3.[6]

Murex was founded in 1986 in Paris and is a private company. Murex currently employs over 3,400 worldwide.[7]

Its main office is in Paris. It has 20 global offices in cities such as Beirut, Dublin, Hong Kong, New York, London, Singapore and Sydney.[8]

  • Why it should be changed: (As currently written, the Murex Wikipedia article has multiple issues. Editors have flagged that it has promotional content and requires a cleanup. I am a Murex employee and paid contributor and have developed this neutral text backed by third-party sources that describes the company accurately and excludes partnership information.

Overview update request

edit

My name is Rebecca Casamayor and I handle PR for MyFitnessPal. I am also supporting our engagement with Wikipedia.

Could editors take a look at the Overview section of this article? This section was last updated several years ago (the first citation is from 2017) and much of the information is out of date. Also feels like the sourcing could be improved, as a lot of the cited sources are blog posts.

I took a stab at an updated Overview section here:

The big changes here are (a) updating all of the app functionality information, and (b) replacing the blog post sources with academic journal articles (i.e. American Society for Nutrition, British Journal of Sports Medicine, The Physical Educator) and prominent media coverage (e.g. articles in Reuters, BBC, Axios, Fortune, Inc. etc).

Please let me know if this update is possible. Rebecca at MyFitnessPal (talk) 14:41, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

History update request

edit

My name is Rebecca Casamayor and I handle PR for MyFitnessPal. I previously posted here about updating the Overview section, which remains dated and poorly sourced. Now I have a new request to update the History section, which is also out of date.

MyFitnessPal is a prominent app that has generated substantial and sustained media coverage since launch. The current History section captures some of this news, but there are notable developments and acquisitions that are missing, and some existing claims lack encyclopedic context. I've noticed that history sections on Wikipedia end up being bullets with "On date x, such and such happened" framing, and that's certainly the case here. In my opinion, the result is that we have a timeline rather than an encyclopedia entry. Right now it says that the app was developed in 2005... and acquired by Under Armour in 2015 for $475 million. What happened during that ten-year gap that would explain how and why the app became so valuable? That connective tissue is what people come to an encyclopedia to find out, and it's glaringly absent right now.

The draft below attempts to correct this. I've summarized the most notable developments in the early history of the app & company, as reflected in news coverage that's already cited in this article, along with additional stories from outlets like Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, Verge, et cetera.

This draft is intended to supplement the first several sentences / bullet points in the existing History section. I'm working on another draft that will cover everything after 2017.

I'm happy to discuss my proposed draft! Please let me know if you have any questions. Rebecca at MyFitnessPal (talk) 14:11, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

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

edit

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

Summary:

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

Observation 1: Sports broadcasting content is fragmented

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

Content that is currently scattered includes:

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

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

Observation 2: Content about creative partnerships could be better organized

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

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

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

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

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

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

Factual update: Theme parks ranking

edit

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

The article currently states NBCUniversal is "the third-largest operator of amusement parks in the world" citing 2017 TEA/AECOM data (reference 6). Current industry reports indicate NBCUniversal is now the second-largest operator.

Would an editor consider updating this with current sourcing? I can provide citations from recent TEA/AECOM reports or financial news coverage if helpful. WeekdayUpdate (talk) 18:33, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Do you have that citation? I can't find a report that matches this claim. CornerLitTweak (talk) 05:30, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

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

edit

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

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

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

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

Edit request: Update Donna Langley's title in Notable people section

edit

Conflict of interest disclosure: I work with NBCUniversal and am submitting this as an edit request per WP:COI rather than editing the article directly.

A recent edit changed Donna Langley's title in the Notable people section from "Chairman, NBCUniversal Entertainment" to "Chairman, NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios." The revised title does not appear to be supported by current reliable sources.

Coverage of Langley's BAFTA Fellowship in February 2026 refers to her as Chairman, NBCUniversal Entertainment:

Per WP:V, the title used in the Notable people list should match what reliable independent sources currently report. Requesting the entry be restored to Chairman, NBCUniversal Entertainment, with one or both of the above sources cited inline.

Sports section: possible overview and some missing rights agreements

edit

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

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

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

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

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

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

Organization question: production-partnership content, with examples

edit

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

edit

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nasser Khalili


Edit request

edit

I'm currently part of a GLAM Partnership that involves the Khalili Collections. Because of my COI, I've only been making minor edits to the article. Now that I have a major edit to suggest, I'm proposing it here.

At the moment Khalili's philanthropy and his honours and awards are included under the heading "Personal life". This is unusual for a Wikipedia biography: honours and awards are normally a top-level section. Personal life is normally the section to mention the subject's family, where they've lived and so on. Nothing in the present "Personal life" section is what would normally be considered personal life. Philanthropy is a very public part of this subject's life — it's a main reason this person is notable — so it would be better in its own section. So I suggest: 1) Recognition be promoted to a level 1 heading, within which Honours & awards is a subsection. 2) The heading Personal life is replaced by Philanthropic work, where the existing Philanthropic work subsection is followed by the text below, and the subheading for Maimonides Interfaith Foundation is removed:


A panorama of Jerusalem from the House of Peace series

Khalili founded the charitable Maimonides Interfaith Foundation in 1995 to promote "understanding, cooperation and peace between Jews, Christians and Muslims internationally through art, culture and education".[1][2] In the 1990s, he commissioned a series of five paintings by the artist Ben Johnson called the House of Peace to promote "peace and harmony" between Judaism, Christianity and Islam.[3] The foundation also donated thousands of copies of The Timeline History of Islamic Art and Architecture (Visions of Splendour) written by Khalili himself, to schools in the United Kingdom and Islamic countries.[4]

Interfaith Explorers is a six-week programme for children in the final year of primary school,[5] promoting tolerance by teaching them about Abrahamic religions.[6] Supported by UNESCO,[5] the course is freely offered to schools and supported by a bank of four hundred online videos.[6] It was launched at the Regent's Park Mosque and mentioned in a speech by Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks as an example of a group promoting interfaith understanding.[7]

Faith in the Commonwealth is a global citizenship education project started jointly by the Commonwealth and the Khalili Foundation.[8][9] It gives Training of Trainers workshops to people from the ages of 15 to 29 from different faith backgrounds, including those of no faith.[10] Over multiple days of training, participants discuss and challenge their assumptions around faith, culture, identity and gender[10] and are supported in developing social action projects within their communities.[11] These projects address topics such as hate speech, girls' education, and indigenous people's rights.[11] The workshops began in December 2017,[12] taking place first in Nairobi,[8] in Trinidad and Tobago,[13] and in Dhaka where it was opened by Biren Sikder, then Bangladesh's State Minister for Youth and Sports.[9]

The project also offers a global citizenship education (GCED) toolkit: a peer-reviewed course that university students can take to complement their studies.[10] This has been developed by three universities in Commonwealth countries, working with the Commonwealth Secretariat.[14] It covers eight global issues in the context of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.[11] Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland promoted the project during a 2020 trip to Malaysia,[15] advocating it as in line with the government's policy of Rahmatan lil Alamin or 'mercy to all creations".[16]

The Global Hope Coalition is a network of three not-for-profit organisations. Nasser Khalili is the chair of Global Hope Europe, while Deborah Lehr chairs Global Hope USA and Li Yongjun chairs Global Hope Asia. Irina Bokova, former Director of UNESCO, is the coalition's honorary president.[17] The coalition was founded in 2016 and gives annual awards to political leaders and "everyday heroes" who combat extremism and intolerance.[18][19][20][21] Among those who have been recognised are Nigerian feminist writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,[21] South Sudanese artist and actor Emmanuel Jal,[22] and Canadian technology entrepreneur and philanthropist Jim Estill.[19]

We meet again! Unfortunately, your request cannot be implemented exactly as requested because:
  • One of your references is broken—FTMay12 goes nowhere.
  • I am not sure that the changes are all good. They seem overly WP:PROMOTIONAL, and the first sentence seems to violate WP:MISSION, when the previous one did just fine.
  • "Faith in the Commonwealth", et cetera, should not be italicized per MOS:ITALICS.
  • "Interfaith Explorers" seems to not be written in a way that's neutral. Not everyone believes that religion per se promotes tolerance, I'd say that the idea that actually learning about religion promotes intolerance is a significant minority (atheist) viewpoint, so we can't just say that it works. (I'm a Christian, personally, but it just strikes me as not neutral.)
Cite 6 doesn't include the word tolerance, but the juxtaposition makes it seem like UNESCO is saying religious education supports tolerance. Why is the royal family being left out, when they seem to be the most enthusiastic supporters?
  • I don't know that "Faith in the Commonwealth" deserves this much weight. Certainly some, but this article is about Khalili, not it; we don't need to know where every workshop has been over the years nor who opened it in Bangladesh.
  • Likewise, I don't know that it matters who the other presumably (due to them not having articles) non-notable chairs of the "Global Hope Coalition" are.
  • Why do we need Rahmatan lil Alamin? Seems like an unnecessary foreign term. Why is it capitalized when translation isn't? Wikipedia:Writing better articles § Use other languages sparingly
  • I think "everyday heroes" needs so-called before it.
I also have some general comments about the article. This person is obviously very, very notable. However, it seems like he's never done anything wrong in his life. Where did his money come from? Perhaps Karl Marx has had too much influence on me, but I find it hard to believe that unless someone played the lottery (or the stock market from a small amount of money, I suppose), they made a billion dollars without upsetting anyone or doing something unethical. Is it inherited? I'd expect this information to be in § Financial, which probably should be called § Finances.
My second comment is about the lack of a photo. File:Wikimedia UK Khalili Collection partnership.webm seems to have one, though, so that ought to be easily remedied, take a screenshot of it and use a template similar to {{c:Template:YouTube CC-BY}}. If not, ask Mr. Khalili for a photo for his bio. You can, right? Not sure if you've ever met him, or if you're just being paid indirectly through his foundation.
@MartinPoulter: I also slightly changed the organization of the article from what you requested. Please let me know when you reply where you want the text given the new organization. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please always ping! 09:28, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
@Psiĥedelisto: Thanks a lot for your work on this. You make some valid points and you've definitely improved the article with the restructure. Some of my detail was excessive, but it's a judgement call, which is part of the reason for inviting other editors to look at the proposal. Answering specific points:
  • FTMay12 isn't my ref. It's an interview with the Financial Times, already in the article- ref 7 in the present version.
checkY In future, if you're going to want to use sources by their names in the article, or other similarly complex requests, please make a complete draft in your userspace of the entire article. That will prevent any miscommunication about desired layout of sections as well. You can link to Special:Diff in future WP:ERs if you want to have multiple requests open at a time which don't need to be added together.
  • My opinions about religion or religious education aren't in the proposed text. I'm trying to express what the charity aims to do. Fine to add "intending to..." or another qualifier to make that clear.
checkY
  • I Googled Deborah Kehr and it looks to me like she deserves a Wikipedia biography as head of multiple organisations, so I created a redlink. Nobody pretends Wikipedia is complete, so nothing should be inferred from the lack of an article about her. Li Yongjun has won an award for preserving China's cultural heritage, so is probably notable too. I hadn't looked deeply into it, but thought he deserves the benefit of the doubt. But I accept that maybe this is too much detail for the present biography.
checkY Right, I'm not really asserting that they're not notable, I'm just presuming that. Of course Wikipedia isn't complete, but at the same time, someone very notable, who became so in the last five years, is very likely to have an article. So, as a shortcut, we can sometimes use not having an article as a proxy for notability. What was really the problem wasn't the red links, certainly they're allowed, it was, as you mentioned, WP:TMI.
  • Quoting "everday heroes", which I did, has the same semantic effect as prefixing with "so-called".
checkY OK, I accept that.
  • Neutrality requires that we fairly summarise the reliable sources about the subject, not that we find wrong things a person has done to "balance" their life morally. There is already text and references in the article addressing how he made money.
Question? Sorry, not buying this argument. I'm not asking you to seek a false balance. I'm questioning whether someone at this level of notability, with an article this long, who is as old as Khalili, can really have 100% of the content be flattering. We have a whole article called criticism of Mother Teresa. Also, the article is not clear at all about how he got so rich. It says his parents were art and antiques dealers. Many such families exist, very few of them create billionaires powerful enough to get people to write about them when they might not even care what their Wikipedia bio looks like. More information is definitely needed: how much was inherited? Did he use it as seed money to start businesses, or did he primarily grow it through investing? Whether any interesting, independent and reliable criticism of how he earned it falls out is up to the sources, but if it's not there I won't hold that against you.
  • There were previously photos in the article that were deleted as not properly licensed, but I think this is in progress.
Question? In progress? Do you mean you messaged WP:OTRS?
  • I've never met Prof. Khalili and I have no idea what he thinks of this article about him, or if he cares. It seems you and I both agree though that the article could be improved and that's the point of this discussion.
checkY Adding an image does improve the article, there's no reason to be defensive. I'm not accusing you of any wrongdoing.
  • My request: could there be a mention of the Global Hope Coalition and of Faith in the Commonwealth in the "Philanthropy" section? These are activities that have coverage and that are relevant to Prof. Khalili, but I totally take on board that my proposed text went into excessive detail.
checkY Of course, I didn't propose removing them entirely.

@MartinPoulter: Replied point by point. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please always ping! 14:31, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
@Psiĥedelisto: Hi again, I saw that you okayed the addition of the Global Hope Coalition and Faith in the Commonwealth to the article, so thought that meant you were going to add them, but I see these haven't been added. The other points aren't relevant to this edit request. With respect to the images, I didn't mean to imply that I was uploading an image. I think someone connected to Khalili is doing that and this requires them to get written notification from the photographer and to share that with OTRS. I don't know the financial detail beyond what's in the article.
Just to get back to basics, this edit request is here because I'm making a request for you (or another uninvolved editor) to add content that I ought not to because of COI. We've made progress on what needs to be added — in fact we seem to have come to an agreement! — so what remains is to act on it. You seem to think that you're requesting me to make an unrelated change to the article! Of course this Talk page can be used to discuss what about the article could be improved- and there's lots of things. But there's no reason to target questions to me as I don't have any special knowledge and there are a lot of reliable sources already linked in the article or listed on the Talk page above this discussion. Nothing stops you using those. Again, I don't see why the question about financials is being directed at me in the context of an edit request which isn't about that topic.
I don't know what point you're making with the Mother Theresa comparison. There are entire books criticising Mother Theresa, so it's natural for that to be summarised in a Wikipedia article. Same with other people when there is extensive published criticism. That doesn't imply there should automatically be criticism articles or sections for other people who are old, rich, or whatever other criteria. We have to be guided by sources that actually exist, not what someone speculates might exist. Especially since this is a BLP, claims need to be well-sourced, not "His article is long and he is in his seventies, therefore..." MartinPoulter (talk) 12:54, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
@MartinPoulter: Especially since this is a BLP, claims need to be well-sourced, not "His article is long and he is in his seventies, therefore..." ← I am, of course, well aware of WP:BLP, and have written BLP's, most recently Hiroyuki Nishimura (69.6% as of Diff/965822591). I'm not the paid editor though, nor familiar with the sources, nor do I have any interest in volunteering my time to become familiar with the sources that exist on this subject (other than ones you provide, and any others I might have to find if the ones you provide are dubious!). I also wrote quite plainly Whether any interesting, independent and reliable criticism of how he earned it falls out is up to the sources, but if it's not there I won't hold that against you., meaning I was willing to trust you despite your COI if you had replied with e.g. I have read almost every reliable source I am aware of about Khalili, and have found no criticism worth mentioning of how he attained his wealth, nor of his character.
Regarding your understanding of the COI ER process, I do not, as a general rule, implement part of an edit request. As with Inkian Jason on Talk:Wheely § Draft, my WP:ER process is to compare every change in the draft to the article and ask for changes to the draft until I believe it meets Wikipedia policies on neutral point of view, verifiability and reliable sourcing,[‍WP:ERREQ‍]: §§ General considerations & Responding to requests  after which I implement the entire request. This is to be done per my interpretation of WP:COIRESPONSE No.1. Again, I don't see why the question about financials is being directed at me in the context of an edit request which isn't about that topic. ← So that, when I add five paragraphs of glowing praise on Mr. Khalili's behalf, I am sure that my edit is morally correct vis-à-vis WP:WEIGHT and WP:NPOV.
So, those're my thoughts on the issue. But, of course, I don't need to be the reviewer if you think I'm sorely mistaken. I will understand if you re-open your COI ER, and won't be offended. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please always ping! 02:29, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


Edit request October 2020

edit

I have created an improved draft of this article at User:MartinPoulter/Nasser_Khalili. This diff summarises the changes I've made. I think this is a clear improvement over what is there at the moment, but of course I'm open to discussing any of the changes individually. Being involved in a GLAM partnership with the Khalili Collections, I'm prevented by a COI from pasting in the whole draft myself. Below I list the problems with the existing article that this new version is designed to fix.

  • Lots of broken links, links to outdated sources, and bare URLs.
  • Links to Khalili publications when third-party sources exist
  • The Sydney Morning Herald article is listed as its own source, but it's just a reprint of the Bloomberg profile.
  • Some WP:PEACOCK or otherwise unencyclopedic language
  • In particular, the lead needed an overhaul because of some confusing language and because it was not a summary of the article. The fact about Bernie Ecclestone buying a house from Khalili arguably deserves mention in the article, but it's a bit tabloidy to have it in the lead as though it's central to understanding who Khalili is.
  • The descriptions of most of the collections have been updated, drawing on articles about each collection which have passed AFC and DYK review.
  • The Khalili Collection of Islamic Art being "curated by Julian Raby" seems to have been true at one point but is presently contradicted by https://www.khalilicollections.org/islamic-arts/#read-more so I've removed it.
  • Images have been provided to represent each of the eight collections.
  • Two items owned by Khalili are the subjects of WP articles: Khalili Imperial Garniture and Jami' al-tawarikh, so I've described and wikilinked both.
  • A lot of the sources about Khalili refer to his philanthropy, but there was not much about philanthropy in the biography, so I've rewritten that section. "In 2012, he pledged over £1.5 million in support of his charity, The Maimonides Interfaith Foundation, in celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee." - removed because I couldn't find a source.
  • Property development section: "Khalili acquired the freehold in 2009" removed because I couldn't find it in the sources. There is no need for the images in this section to be enlarged, so I set them to default size.
  • The Recognition section had some duplication and was written in a very inconsistent way. The UNESCO goodwill ambassador subsection did not give an impression of what he does in this capacity.
  • The Financial section overlapped heavily with the Business and collecting career section, so I merged it in.
  • It is customary for a biography of a published author to contain a bibliography, so I've added a new section for that. I don't have the title of the first book he wrote, but I am still hoping to find that out and include it.
  • New, short section on Personal life. It's common to put family details in their own section towards the end.

Again, the proposed solution for these problems, and the supporting refs, are in the draft in my userspace and I'm very happy to further discuss changes if that is necessary. Thanks in advance for any help, MartinPoulter (talk) 16:01, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Pinging @Philafrenzy, Edwardx, and No Swan So Fine: - three editors who have made numerous edits to this article and have removed promotional material - in case they can help. MartinPoulter (talk) 12:30, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your transparency and your enormous work on this article and his wonderful collections. I concur with all of your above changes and your dedication to improving flow and prose - which is a rare ability on Wikipedia! The article still preserves the enigmatic nature of Khalili's Kane like grandiloquent collecting, and serves as brilliant glimpse into the life and motivations of a fascinating London character. I hope the GLAM partnership with Khalili will prove to be an inspiration to other collectors and custodians of the memory of humanity. No Swan So Fine (talk) 22:36, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
@No Swan So Fine: You're very kind. If you agree that my draft is an improvement, could you please paste it in to replace the current article? Thanks so much, MartinPoulter (talk) 22:44, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Done. No Swan So Fine (talk) 23:50, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Edit request

edit

To the list of Honours and awards, please add Freedom of the City of London, which he was given yesterday (6 November 2025). Source: https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/freedom-of-london-for-jewish-art-scholar-whos-amassed-worlds-largest-collection-of-islamic-art/

Many thanks in advance, MartinPoulter (talk) 14:32, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. NotJamestack (talk) 16:38, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for responding. In the Honours and awards subsection of the article there is a list. Please to the end of this list add "Freedom of the City of London (2025)" with this source: "Freedom of London for Jewish art scholar who's amassed world's largest collection of Islamic art". Jewish News. 7 November 2025. Retrieved 2025-11-09. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 14:40, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
Please use a "change X to Y" format. NotJamestack (talk) 15:02, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
I'm not proposing a change but an addition. Are you saying that you don't understand the instruction I've given above? Would it help to think of it as a change from the existing list to a list that is one item longer? MartinPoulter (talk) 20:52, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
You have been asked to use a "change X to Y" format. Also, you seem to have disclosed a conflict of interest. Is that true? NotJamestack (talk) 22:16, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
I've given a "change X to Y" format in my comment above; I'm requesting the change of a specified list to a list which is the same but has an additional item at the end. As you can see on this Talk page and the fact I've used the COI edit process to request this edit, I acknowledge a conflict of interest. Can you explain what the barrier is? MartinPoulter (talk) 11:46, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
WP:CHANGEXY says "Insert X after Y" is an acceptable format. So I'm asking that after the list item 'Knight Bachelor "for services to interfaith relations and charity" (2020)', please insert a new list item with the following wiki code * [[Freedom of the City of London]] (2025){{cite web|no-tracking=true|url= https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/freedom-of-london-for-jewish-art-scholar-whos-amassed-worlds-largest-collection-of-islamic-art/ |title=Freedom of London for Jewish art scholar who’s amassed world’s largest collection of Islamic art|date=7 November 2025 |work=Jewish News|access-date=2025-11-09}} MartinPoulter (talk) 12:03, 11 November 2025 (UTC)


Description by Pope Benedict

edit
  • Suggested change: In the Recognition section, after "Pope Benedict XVI further elevated him to Knight Commander in that order (KCSS) for his pursuit of peace, education and culture among nations.", add a new sentence:
Pope Benedict described Khalili as having "in one person the great wisdom of a Chief Rabbi, a Cardinal and a Grand Mufti".

Thanks in advance for any response, MartinPoulter (talk) 11:42, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I'm torn on this one. It's an undeniably impressive compliment, but I think it might be a bit much; Khalili's honors largely speak for themselves. Not going to accept or decline it outright, I'll leave it open for another editor. DiscoursesonLivvy (talk · contribs) 05:15, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
With all due respect for Jewish News, seeing as this is a representation that we're saying came from Pope Benedict, I'd prefer the Press Office of the Holy See as the source. That should be relatively easy to locate. Once this is done, the H:WIKILINK for Grand Mufti should be applied to the proposed text, since that term seems to be (from a Western perspective at least) the one possibly needing an explantion for readers. When ready to proceed with the source URL and WikiLink, please reopen this request by altering the {{Edit COI}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=y to |ans=n. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  01:08, 9 June 2026 (UTC)


Interfaith Explorers

edit

In the fifth paragraph of the Philanthropy section, it says "Its activities include the Maimonides Interfaith Explorers, a UNESCO-supported online educational resource for children aged 10 to 11." This site still exists under the name "Interfaith Explorers"; for most of its existence it has not been known as "Maimonidies Interfaith Explorers". See for example ref 32 in the current article or page 4 of this UNESCO document. The citation at the end of the sentence (ref 31) is to a dead link that isn't archived. My request is to remove "Maimonides" from that sentence and remove ref 31 because ref 32 supports nearly the whole sentence. I can't yet find a UNESCO reference to back up the phrase "UNESCO-supported" so I suggest removing that too for now and I'll put in another request if necessary. Thanks very much for any help!

Natalia Trayanova


Performing factual updates to the page on Natalia Trayanova

edit

Hi, I am a longtime friend, former grad student, and current employee of the subject of this page. I have been tasked with updating it to reflect new publications, awards, etc and will be attempting to do so in a neutral and factual way. Some of the information is outdated and other information simply needs to be added. I was notified I should post a disclosure on my user page at User:Brocktice and have done so.

I am reworking the article at User:Brocktice/sandbox/NataliaTrayanova and will seek some kind of approval before moving further edits here. Brocktice (talk) 14:26, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

I have created a heavily revamped version of this page here: User:Brocktice/sandbox/NataliaTrayanova, I propose the contents be used to replace the current page. Brocktice (talk) 16:52, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
For COI edits, it usually works much better to explain what specifically you think should be changed or added and why than to write a new version. This proposal illustrates why. It incorporates vacuous and promotional text like "She is an inventor on tens of patents and patent applications filed worldwide", makes claims for the significance of the subject's research based only on the research publications themselves and on employer press releases rather than independent secondary sources, and mixes up significant recognition (the many society fellowships) with minor trivia (the JHU Hop Quiz and delivering a Ted Talk). I do not think it is in a usable state. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:46, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
I agree, and I am declining this request. Please make a new request that focuses on specific changes or additions, rather than a complete rewrite. Fiske (talk) 21:46, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
The original article is in terrible shape. It contains irrelevant and outdated information. Would you consider proposing some specific changes to the rewritten article? The new one is thoroughly fact checked and all links include archive links as well where appropriate.Brocktice (talk) 16:15, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
Given the lack of response on this, I will post each proposed edit individually. Brocktice (talk) 16:49, 7 April 2026 (UTC)


Infobox update

edit

Per my COI disclosure above, I am a longtime friend, former grad student, and current employee of the subject. Following the guidance to propose specific changes rather than a full rewrite, I am submitting a series of focused edit requests.

Current infobox fields:

| alma_mater = [[Bulgarian Academy of Sciences]] <br>
[[Sofia University]]
| awards =

Proposed replacement:

| alma_mater = [[Sofia University]] (MS, 1982) <br>
[[Bulgarian Academy of Sciences]] (PhD, 1986)
| awards = [[NIH Director's Pioneer Award]] (2013) <br>
[[Heart Rhythm Society]] Distinguished Scientist Award (2019)

Rationale: The alma mater field currently lists institutions without degrees or dates; adding these is standard for scientist infoboxes and the information is already cited in the article body. The awards field is currently blank despite two major awards (NIH Pioneer Award, HRS Distinguished Scientist) already being discussed and sourced in the article text. No new sources needed — this just surfaces existing cited content into the infobox. Brocktice (talk) 16:53, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Natalie Kwadrans


Create Lead section

edit

  • COI disclosure, I have a COI and am therefore submitting changing the existing Lead Section. Details are immediately below, followed by the proposed text.

Thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BuzzGnat (talk • contribs) 14:04, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

  • Specific text to be added or removed:

REMOVE current Lead Section text: "Natalie Kwadrans (fl. 1990–) is a Canada snowboarder."

REPLACE WITH: Proposed Lead Section text below

  • REASON FOR CHANGE: To address the article's note "This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points. (June 2026)"
  • REFERENCES supporting change: All references are included by the text requiring citations.


Natalie Kwadrans, MBA,[1] CPA[2] (born Natalie Andrès in 1973), is a former Team Canada snowboard racer who competed on the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) World Cup circuit.[3] After retiring from competitive snowboarding, she transitioned into a career as a business strategist for large Canadian[4] and international[5][6] organizations. She was also an Associate Professor.[7]

Following her diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer in 2019,[8] Kwadrans became an advocate for improvements in cancer care,[9][10] healthcare,[11][12] and advancements in cancer research.[13][14][15]

National University (San Diego, California)


Expanding student body section

edit

Hi editors! I'm an employee at National University, and as a part of my work I have some suggestions for updating the Wikipedia article. I won't be making any direct updates because of my conflict of interest, and I've posted a diff to my user space of the changes I plan to request in case anyone is curious.

To start, I'm hoping editors will be willing to update the Student body section. The current information is several years old, so my goal is to update and expand the section.

Thanks and let me know your thoughts! DA at National University (talk) 16:05, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Partly done I implemented this outside of the sentence that reads "The University primarily focuses on non-traditional students who are raising families, working, and veterans." It's unclear what this sentence means when it says "focuses" (recruitment? retention? additional support?) and I think that emphasizing facts about the student body (% of students are veterans or active military, % of students are working full-time jobs at the same time as being students, % of students have children) may have a neutral, accurate focus on this. You did this in the final sentence of the second paragraph. Additionally, one of the proposed sources for that is from 1979—47 years old—which would not align with your goal of updating the section. I did keep the current sentence in the section regarding average student age since I think it aligns with what you are trying to say with "nontraditional students", but added a date qualifier. Best, SpencerT•C 20:36, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for making those changes, I appreciate it! DA at National University (talk) 14:12, 1 June 2026 (UTC)


Updating history Section

edit

Hello, I have another request, this time to update the History section. Here are the main changes in this updated section:

  • Adds details to some of the early history
  • Replaces some primary sources
 * Clarifies the acquisitions of MiraCosta and John F. Kennedy University
  • Adds learning program investment
  • Adds details regarding the sanction from the American Association of University Professors
 * Adds leadership changes over the years
  • Removes content about the student body

Interested to hear thoughts, and appreciate any feedback!

Thanks! ~~~~ DA at National University (talk) 15:41, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Please indicate what sources verify what content on requested change. To ensure that the article does read like an advertisement and thus maintain some neutrality I would strike from above

Proposed addition on SE(2) navigation meshes

I am a co-author of the cited work, so I am requesting review by an uninvolved editor.

Please add the following paragraph at the end of the “Description” section, immediately before “Creation”:

For agents with non-circular footprints, traversability may depend on orientation as well as position. An SE(2) navigation mesh represents traversable regions in heading-dependent layers, allowing path planning over both planar position and orientation.[1]

Nazia Mintz Habib


Edit request

edit

I have a conflict of interest with this article but am requesting the following changes:

Prof Habib is now a full Professor, as declared on her pages at the University of Cambridge and at Newnham College .

  1. Change "Dr" to "Professor" in the pre-nominal at the top of the infobox.
  2. Under "Career", change "has a professor-equivalent role" to "is a professor" These have been done by an anonymous editor.
  3. Change the title of ref2 to "Nazia Habib" and the link for ref2 to the new location, https://newn.cam.ac.uk/person/nazia-habib
  4. In the "Career" section, before the Centre for Resilience and Sustainable Development subheading, add this fact: She is co-editor of the Society of Chemical Industry journal SCI Sustainability. Cite the journal's page on the Wiley publisher site and "Professor Nazia M Habib named Editor-in-Chief of SCI Sustainability", news item on the University of Cambridge site.
  5. In the same section, add: In 2026, she was awarded the Distinguished Guest Lecturer medal by the Royal Society of Chemistry Environmental Chemistry Group, for a lecture examining the persistent use fossil fuels. Ref: "Royal Society of Chemistry Awards Medal to Distinguished Guest Lecturer Professor Nazia Habib, FRSA", news story on the University of Cambridge site.
  6. In the section on "Early life and education", add that she studied at Jesus College, Oxford. Cite This alumni magazine that mentions her.
  7. The John F. Kennedy School of Government (Harvard Kennedy School) is mentioned in the infobox but not in the body text. Fix this by adding the following to the start of the "Career" section. She was a sustainability science fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School for two years from 2011. Cite this profile on the University of Cambridge site and this CV on the Harvard Kennedy School site.

Nemenhah


COI edit request: neutral wording and fuller summary of 2009 AP source

edit

Disclosure: I am a regionally elected chief in the Nemenhah and publisher of the Nemenhah Record, so I have a conflict of interest and am requesting review rather than editing the article directly.

I am requesting a narrow, source-based change to improve neutrality and accuracy.

The current article describes Phillip “Cloudpiler” Landis in Wikipedia’s voice as a “convicted fraudster.” This wording seems unnecessarily loaded for the lead sentence. The cited Associated Press/NBC source does mention prior fraud charges and prison time, but it also identifies Landis in the context of his role with the Nemenhah and includes his statements about the Daniel Hauser matter.

I propose replacing the current lead wording with more neutral wording such as:

“The Nemenhah Band is a religious group associated with Phillip ‘Cloudpiler’ Landis, who told the Associated Press in 2009 that he had been elected the group’s principal medicine chief.”

I also propose revising the controversy paragraph so it reflects the cited source more fully. Suggested wording:

“In 2009, news coverage connected the Nemenhah Band with the Daniel Hauser chemotherapy case after Hauser’s mother was reported to have joined the group a few months earlier. Landis told the Associated Press that he had never met Hauser or her son, urged them to return home, and said he could not support her committing a felony.”

This request is not asking editors to accept private knowledge. It is based on the article’s existing cited source and is intended to bring the article closer to neutral wording and a fuller summary of the source.

~~~~ Raforsyth (talk) 19:16, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Please disclose your COI on your user page as well(User:Raforsyth).
I have removed the reference to "convicted fraudster" because that was not described in the provided source.
I'm leaving this request open to see if someone else can have more luck in accessing the other sources for the paragraph you're asking be changed.

Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society


Neubauer Collegium entry needs corrections and updates

edit

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

Specifically:

HISTORY

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

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

Citation: https://news.uchicago.edu/story/neubauer-collegium-announces-10-new-projects-2026-27

--Many Collegium-funded research projects include collaborations with scholars, practitioners, and artists from other institutions.

--The Neubauer Collegium hosts Visiting Fellows from around the globe who are formally appointed by the University of Chicago Provost's Office for periods ranging from one month to multiple academic terms.

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

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

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

CAMPUS

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

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

LEADERSHIP

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