Bracebridge Capital

Proposed Updates

Hi all, I work at Bracebridge Capital and wanted to flag a few factual inaccuracies in the article.

• The AUM should be updated in the infobox and lead to $12B.
• In the infobox, Kristan Barnett, Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine, and Wendy Sheu, are no longer with the firm. I suggest updating the “Key people” to John Spinney (Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer), Danforth Townley (General Counsel), and Scott Kudlacik (Chief Compliance Officer). Spinney’s title should be updated to add CFO in the infobox and the second paragraph of the “History” section.
• In the lead, Gabriel Sunshine’s stake in the company is misleading, as the source cited is inaccurate. I could not find a good source for this information, so I recommend removing the sentence: “Sunshine owns a 5% stake in Bracebridge as of 2017.”

I also recommend adding the following to the end of the “History" section:

In 2025, Zimmerman spoke at the 2025 Sohn Montreal Conference about resilient market neutral strategies and the firm's portfolio construction.

I would appreciate help from the community to update the page to reflect these changes. Thanks, Brian Brian.rabe (talk) 18:56, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello, Brian. Thank you for the message on my talk page, informing me of your request. Thank you for providing full details here. I see that you are new to Wikipedia as a paid or COI editor, and as an editor in general. You did everything correctly! I will have a look at the changes you requested, implement them, and/or make inquiries for further details here as needed. I will likely have time this weekend, so check back then please.--FeralOink (talk) 19:36, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi FeralOink, thank you so much for your willingness to help. Let me know if you have any questions. Brian.rabe (talk) 18:47, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Brahma Kumaris

COI Edit Request: Add United States expansion history to Expansion section

Note: I am disclosing that I have a conflict of interest regarding this page because I serve as an administrator for a Brahma Kumaris entity in the United States.

I am requesting a neutral editor to add information regarding the organization's initial expansion into the United States, which is currently omitted from the "Expansion" section. Adding this documented fact will ensure the page's history is more complete and help prevent the spread of inaccurate historical timelines online.

• Information to be changed: Add a new subsection or paragraph regarding United States expansion under the "Expansion" section.

• Proposed Text to Add:

The organization expanded its presence to the United States in 1976. Following an initial public lecture series in San Antonio, Texas, in January 1976, the first official Raja Yoga Center in the U.S. was established in San Antonio in December 1976 by early practitioners including Sister Denise and Brahma Kumari Chandru. The Brahma Kumaris was subsequently legally incorporated as a Texas nonprofit organization in August 1977.

• Existing text to remove: None (this is a new addition).

Thank you to a neutral editor for reviewing and incorporating this historical milestone.

DocsNavigator (talk) 01:31, 9 July 2026 (UTC) DocsNavigator (talk) 01:31, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

I have corrected the third reference to fix the access-date template error and adjusted the parameters for a database lookup. DocsNavigator (talk) 08:12, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Bremelanotide

Proposed addition to Other sources / External links

Could an uninvolved editor please review whether the following link would be appropriate for an “Other sources” or “External links” section in this article, if such a section is considered suitable under WP:EL and WP:ELNO?

Proposed link:

• Peptides.io PT-141 guide – plain-language overview of PT-141/bremelanotide, including general background, mechanism, FDA-approved use context, off-label-use disclaimer, and safety notes

I am asking here rather than adding it directly because bremelanotide is a medical/pharmacology topic, and I want to avoid adding anything that editors may consider promotional, non-neutral, or unsuitable as an external link. If editors feel this link is not appropriate for the article, I am fine with leaving it out.

For transparency, I am connected to Peptides.io, so I am requesting review by uninvolved editors rather than making the article edit myself, in line with WP:COI.

Andrei25luks (talk) 08:15, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Not appropriate. That is a commercial website. Constant314 (talk) 20:02, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Brian M. Love

Edit request — Correction to BroadwayWorld Awards wording

Hello,

I would like to request a clarification in the Awards and nominations section. The current wording references being part of a “winning cast,” but the available BroadwayWorld listings now reflect nomination status only.

I propose revising the entry to read:

2023 BroadwayWorld Salt Lake City Awards – Nominated for Best Performer in a Musical for his role as Sebastian in The Little Mermaid.

I am disclosing a conflict of interest and will not make the change directly. Thank you for your review.

Brian Wood (comics)

Request edit: Removal of retracted claim per WP:BLP

I am the subject of this biography and am requesting the removal of a specific sentence in the [Accusations of sexual misconduct] section regarding an accusation made in [2019].

The text currently reads: "In August 2019, Laura Hudson accused Wood of "grabbing" her and "forcing" her into a kiss at a bar in 2007. When approached by Comics Beat regarding the allegations, Dark Horse issued a statement to The Beat saying, "Effective immediately, Dark Horse will not pursue any new projects with Brian Wood." On August 21, 2020, The Comics Journal reported that following Hudson's employment on the Ava DuVernay-helmed adaptation of Wood's DMZ, she deleted the accusations against Wood."

1. 1. 1. Rationale for Removal:

1. **Lack of Reliability and Recency (WP:BLP / WP:RS):** The underlying accusation cited in the article was removed by the original source seven years ago (in 2019). Because the primary source chose to permanently withdraw the claim, maintaining it in this biography serves no encyclopedic purpose and propagates outdated, inaccurate information. 2. **Undue Weight (WP:V / WP:NEUTRAL):** Keeping a long-retracted accusation in a living person's biography violates Wikipedia's neutrality guidelines by giving undue weight to a historical non-event. It distorts the overall balance of the biography.

1. 1. 1. Requested Action:

Please remove the sentence entirely, as the claim is no longer supported by a valid, active, reliable source and violates BLP guidelines regarding contentious material.

Thank you for your time and assistance in keeping this biography accurate and compliant with global policy. Bchristopherwood (talk) 20:49, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Request edit: Trim excessive direct quotes per WP:QUOTEFARM and WP:NPOV

I am the subject of this biography and am requesting a policy-based trim of the [Accusations of sexual misconduct] section to comply with Wikipedia’s Manual of Style regarding direct quotations.

1. 1. 1. Current Text:

"On November 13, 2013, cartoonist Tess Fowler publicly accused Wood of sexual harassment in offering her his hotel room number at a bar encounter during San Diego Comic-Con in 2003.[143] Later that same month, Wood responded to Fowler with an apology, stating in part, "when she declined, that was the conclusion of the matter for me. There was never an exertion of power, no threats, and no revenge... I think the larger issues of abuse in the comics industry are genuine and I share everyone's concerns. I don't want our difference of accounts to take attention away from that industry-wide discussion that needs to happen." Fowler responded in part, "I've forgiven Brian years ago for the following story... I've moved on from what he did. I never asked for a boycott, or blacklisting, as I am being accused. I actually spoke very openly about the opposite. Brian Wood has every right to be a part of comics. To make books and make a living unhindered. I believe that. I also believe his behavior is a symptom of a much bigger disease."[144]"

1. 1. 1. Rationale for Revision:

1. **WP:QUOTEFARM & WP:MOSQUOTE:** The current passage relies entirely on extensive, multi-sentence direct quotes from both sides. Wikipedia’s Manual of Style dictates that information should be summarized concisely in an encyclopedic tone rather than framing a paragraph around large slabs of dialogue. 2. **WP:BALANCED / WP:NPOV:** Over-quoting long, conversational statements from over a decade ago gives disproportionate, non-encyclopedic weight to the specific wording of a settled matter, cluttering the biographical entry.

1. 1. 1. Proposed Encyclopedic Summary:

"On November 13, 2013, cartoonist Tess Fowler stated that Wood had behaved inappropriately by offering her his hotel room number at a social gathering during the 2003 San Diego Comic-Con.[143] Wood subsequently issued an apology regarding the encounter, noting that the matter had concluded at the time without any threats or abuse of power. Fowler accepted the apology, stating that she had forgiven Wood, did not support a boycott or blacklisting against him, and emphasized his right to continue working in the industry.[144]"

1. 1. 1. Requested Action:

Please replace the existing quote-heavy text with the streamlined, policy-compliant summary above to maintain an objective, encyclopedic, and balanced biographical tone.

Thank you. Bchristopherwood (talk) 20:53, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Bristol

COI Edit Request 3 May 2026

Proposed addition to the Arts section.

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

Here's a suggested addition:

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

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

Bryan Johnson

COI edit request

Below are some COI edit requests that should improve the accuracy of Bryan's page.

1. Infobox photo

The infobox image is dated (2021), but more importantly you cannot see the top half of Bryan's head. Therefore the image isn't an accurate representation. I have uploaded the image below to Wikimedia commons, please replace the existing image with the one below.

2. Career section update

There is no detail about Blueprint in his career, which is now his main venture and has been for a number of years. Below is a suggested subsection to go under career after Kernel.

Blueprint

On October 13, 2021, Johnson announced an anti-aging attempt called Project Blueprint, which subsequently became the basis for a commercial company headquartered in Los Angeles. Johnson has stated the aims of the company are to reduce the biological age of his organs to that of an 18-year-old and "make death an option." Blueprint sells consumer health products including supplements and foods derived from Johnson's personal optimization protocol. This includes supplements such as spermidine, which has been linked in research to longevity-related outcomes. The protocol that Johnson follows as the test subject cost approximately $2 million a year in 2023, and was tracking over 100 health measurements. He has since reduced his daily supplement intake from 111 to 30 by March 2026.

In 2024, Blueprint Basics was launched as a subscription for consumers by Blueprint, costing $333 a month. In October, Blueprint raised $60 million in external funding from a group of investors that included Kim Kardashian and Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss. In July 2025, Gyre Renwick was appointed as the CEO of Blueprint, having formerly served as president of Modern Health. Johnson would continue to lead product and protocol development.

3. Minor grammatical change

The first sentence in 2. above has been relocated from "anti-aging attempts" as it is a Blueprint-related fact. Therefore replace the opening sentence of anti-aging:

On October 13, 2021, Johnson announced an anti-aging attempt called "Project Blueprint."

With

In 2023,

4. Reference improvement

Below are 3 suggested changes that improve the reliability of the references.

4a. Technori blog about Braintree to be replaced with existing WSJ reference
Replace: With:

4b. Remove doejo blog as story already covered by the USA Today reference in same sentence.
Delete:

4c. Replace Pando Daily ref with USA Today

Thanks for the quick reply ScirioMC (talk) 11:35, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

June 2026 COI edit request

Hello again, further to my edit request on the Blueprint section, I've now attached an updated version of the Kernel section. This aims to improve grammar and increase reference density (every sentence now referenced). The section also abruptly ends circa 2020, without really stating what the company does, so I've attempted to rectify that.

Additionally, I have continued to look at the references elsewhere in the article and try to find suggestions to improve small blogs with major tier 1 coverage under 2.

Extended content

1. Kernel section

Johnson founded Kernel in 2016, a neurotechology company which initially focused on developing brain implants. He invested $100 million of his own money from the sale of Braintree to launch the company. Documents released by the United States Department of Justice in February 2026 show that Johnson had email correspondence and meetings with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017 about Kernel. After the documents were released and reported by various outlets, Johnson confirmed that the meeting took place and stated that he cut off contact following one video conference. Johnson was introduced to Epstein by Alex Klokus.

A couple of years after its foundation, the company shifted its focus to building hardware that could measure electrical and hemodynamic signals produced by the brain. Bloomberg described Johnson at the time as "something of a measurement obsessive" and "at the forefront of what is known as the quantified self movement." In 2020, Kernel demonstrated a pair of helmet-like devices could see and record brain activity. It was suggested that the devices could be used for studies on Alzheimer's disease, aging, concussions, meditation states, and strokes. The company also suggested the devices could be used to help paralyzed individuals communicate, or people with mental health challenges access new therapies. By July 2020, Kernel had raised $53 million from outside investors, in addition to Johnson's initial investment in 2016. The outside investors included Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst.

From 2023 onwards, data collected using Kernel Flow technology has been featured in peer-reviewed scientific research. This included a study on subanesthetic ketamine published in Scientific Reports in which Johnson served as a research participant. Kernel's brain-imaging technology was used to collect data from participants with depression in a sponsored clinical trial.

2. Reference improvement

2a. Replace Bloomberg database record with Bloomberg Business article (already on article)
Replace: With:

2b. Remove needless reference

2c. Remove Tim Ferris podcast for Fortune magazine
Replace: With:

2d. Remove podcast reference for The Independent reference already on page
Replace: With: (already on page)

Thank you for your reply Spintendo, I have tried to minimize direct mentions of the business and instead focus on Johnson's personal involvement, such as trials or financing.

Kernel section COI edit request

Following the last edit request, I have scaled back the last request and itemized each change within the Kernel section and explained the reasoning.

Extended content

1. Opening sentences in Kernel - No reference for the hemodynamic signals sentence, so new reference added. Also the same sentence states the company "shifted focus" but no mention what Kernel was originally doing. Therefore including brain implants definition at time of foundation.

Replace: Johnson founded Kernel in 2016, investing $100 million of his own money to launch the company. The company later shifted its focus to building hardware that measures electrical and hemodynamic signals produced by the brain.

With: Johnson founded a neurotechology company initially focused on developing brain implants named Kernel in 2016. He invested $100 million of his own money from the sale of Braintree to launch the company. A couple of years after its foundation, the company shifted its focus to building hardware that could measure electrical and hemodynamic signals produced by the brain.

2. Kernel financing - Attempt to make this sentence more factual, but if this is not relevant to Johnson maybe delete entirely?

Replace: By July 2020, Kernel had raised $53 million from outside investors, following Johnson's investment of $54 million in the company since its inception.

With: In addition to Johnson's 2016 investment, Kernel had raised $53 million by July 2020 from Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and other outside investors.

3. Johnson description - Keeping this about him personally, a description from his time at Kernel.

New sentence for Kernel section: In 2021, Bloomberg described Johnson while working at Kernel as "something of a measurement obsessive. He’s at the forefront of what’s known as the quantified-self movement."

4. Kernel testing involving Johnson - How he was involved personally in peer reviewed testing.

New sentence for Kernel section: In 2023, Johnson served as a research participant in a Kernel study on subanesthetic ketamine, which was published in Scientific Reports.

  Edit request partially implemented  

• N The lead section mentions what Kernel was originally doing, so the "shifted focus" line shouldn't confuse our more adept readers.

Anti-aging COI edit request

Thanks for taking the time to review this edit request. The four suggestions below all relate to the Anti-aging section.

1. When/why he started

New content: In 2019, Johnson stated he had for years maintained health-compromising habits, due to the demands of entrepreneurship and as a young father. He started improving his well-being through standard health interventions before shifting toward anti-aging experimentation in 2021.

2. Plasma correction - not the entire story, it was tri-generational

Replace: In 2023, Johnson underwent a series of six monthly 1-liter plasma transfusions with his son as the donor for one of the transfusions, but he says he will not repeat the transfusions due to lack of benefits.

With: In 2023, Johnson underwent a series of six monthly 1-liter plasma transfusions. One transfusion was tri-generational with his 17 year old son serving as the donor for Johnson, then Johnson was himself donor for his father. He says he will not repeat the transfusions due to lack of benefits.

3. Biomarker data and competing -

New content: Since 2023, Johnson has publicly shared his biomarker data and engaged in competitive biohacking against other people.

4. Measurement -

New content: In 2025, Johnson recorded a DunedinPACE speed of aging score at 0.503 per calendar year.

Brycen Hopkins

COI edit request: LuxNashRide co-founder information

(moved here from User talk:Itsbhop89 by Drm310)

I am Brycen Hopkins, the subject of this article. Because I have a conflict of interest, I am requesting this change rather than editing the article directly. Please add the following sentence to the end of the “Personal life” section: “Hopkins co-founded the Nashville transportation concierge company LuxNashRide with his father, former NFL player Brad Hopkins.” Primary independent source: WKRN Nashville, “LuxNashRide: Brad Hopkins and Brycen Hopkins,” published June 15, 2026: https://www.wkrn.com/video/luxnashride-brad-hopkins-and-brycen-hopkins/11883889/ Yahoo News also carries the WKRN segment here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/videos/luxnashride-brad-hopkins-brycen-hopkins-151004289.html Suggested WKRN citation code: "LuxNashRide: Brad Hopkins and Brycen Hopkins". WKRN. June 15, 2026. Retrieved June 28, 2026. Additional supporting source: The official LuxNashRide team page identifies Brad Hopkins and Brycen Hopkins as the company’s co-founders: https://luxnashride.com/our-team/ Citation code:|title=Our Team |url=https://luxnashride.com/our-team/ |website=LuxNashRide |access-date=June 28, 2026}} Additional government business record: The Tennessee Department of State business record shows that LUXNASHRIDE LLC is an active Tennessee limited liability company. The record lists Control Number 002081947 and an initial filing date of January 29, 2026: The Tennessee business entity search can also be accessed here: https://tncab.tnsos.gov/business-entity-search The government record confirms that the company is an active Tennessee LLC. The LuxNashRide team page and WKRN report support the statement identifying Brad and Brycen Hopkins as its co-founders. The proposed wording is intended to be factual, concise, and non-promotional.

• There's no need for the full representation of the infobox when all you're changing are locations and revenues.
• The addition of the infobox figures meant that there arose a slight imbalance between the infobox and the Locations section, with only the infobox showing up to date figures, and the locations section showing slightly older numbers. In place of directions for resolving that imbalance, the Locations section was deleted.
• I've left early feedback on your draft; more to come later.

Thank you for your feedback Spintendo! Looks great. I've deleted the sentence you flagged in the draft on my Userspace as well. All the best BatBINK (talk) 16:23, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello Spintendo! Since you deleted the Locations section here due to the discrepancy it would cause by updating the infobox, would you consider adding this revised Locations section back in the article?

Locations

As of 2019, there are 2,275 locations that are company owned worldwide, and 1,650 are licensees. There are 1,925 offices located in the Americas, and 2,000 located internationally.

Bulat Utemuratov

September Edit Request

Hi I have a conflict of interest with Bulat Utemuratov and would like to suggest some further quick changes to the article, largely suggesting that headings be changed or material be moved/clarified. Thank you in advance for reviewing and please let me know if you have any questions at all either in the replies or at my Talk page.

1. The sentence currently at the end of the 'Career' section before the Glencore subheading covers events which took place in the nineties: "In 1996 Utemuratov was appointed as ambassador to Switzerland, a position he held for three years."

It would make more sense chronologically if this sentence were moved so it was the second sentence in the 'Career' section, so that it is read before events transpiring in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Reason for change: Chronological order makes more sense to a reader.

2. I suggest removing the 'Freezing of assets' section heading.

Reason for change: It is undue emphasis to have a whole section dedicated to a revoked injunction, and the second paragraph of two in this section is about a different topic.

3. Add wording to provide context for speech paragraph.

Reason for change: The paragraph on Hodge's speech neglects to indicate that the comments were protected by with parliamentary privilege (confirmed in the Forbes source). This is a significant detail because parliamentary privilege legally allows MPs to make comments that do not require proof while protecting against accusations of defamation.

Can wording be added to clarify this protection, i.e. "In March 2022, Dame Margaret Hodge, a British Member of Parliament, named Utemuratov in a speech using parliamentary privilege advocating for sanctions against Kazakh billionaires."

4. Remove the 'See Also' section.

Reason for change: The individuals mentioned have no relation or connection professionally to Utemuratov. No other articles in the Category:Kazakhstani businesspeople have a 'See Also' section linking to other random individuals in this category.

Many thanks for considering these changes. Podsought (talk) 16:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Partly done: Didn't do 2 because there are other subsections there. They structure the section and it wouldn't make sense to remove them. I also don't see how the parliamentary privilege adds any relevant context to the sentence. Defamation doesn't come up in the article. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 18:45, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

@Likeanechointheforest, once again, I very much appreciate the time you have taken to assess these points. Regarding point 3, I believe the addition of "parliamentary privilege" is relevant because it affects whether the claims made are taken at face value. UK parliamentarians are allowed to make statements which could otherwise be challenged legally. Wikipedia is far more demanding about verifiability on its pages, and it would be easy for a reader to take this section as written if they assume Wikipedia's usual guidelines are in force.

Essentially, the claims presented in this paragraph have implications that cannot be contested, regardless of whether they are accurate. These have been added to the article in the context of the speech so that the citations support the quotes and origin, rather than supporting the content of the claims made. I don't think it would be right to remove the mention of the speech given the coverage cited, but adding in the "parliamentary privilege" note would ensure full context.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the above! Podsought (talk) 12:10, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I see your point, but disagree with the necessity here.

The claim in the article is pretty nonspecific: "Utemuratov ... had benefited from ... ties to the Nazarbayev regime," and further reinforced, in greater detail, by this NYT article: "Bulat Utemuratov, whom a British lawyer ... alleged in court was Mr. Ablyazov’s 'money-launderer in chief.'"

There's also this from Source Material: "Opposition parties wrote to the London Stock Exchange, stating: ... 'Utemuratov is widely believed to be holding these assets for the benefit of Nazarbayev.' ... A leaked US diplomatic cable from 2009 noted that Utemuratov had “long been rumoured to be Nazarbayev’s ‘personal financial manager’”, while in another from 2007 he was cited by a source as an example of 'high-level corruption' and 'a billionaire who has never had a business'."

Warsaw Point says: "His activities can be best described as a money laundering operation aimed at benefiting Nursultan Nazarbayev, the former president of the country."

I wonder if you might have ideas about how these sources could be added to the article? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 20:08, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

@Likeanechointheforest, once again I appreciate the prompt reply. I have taken some time to review the sources you have outlined, and here are my thoughts.

• The claims that the NYT makes are already included in the existing article within the "Freezing of assets" section; the article you mention could be added as an additional source on those points, but I think the existing WSJ source and language cover the issue better than the one paragraph in the NYT. The NYT could also be used to cite the lifting of the freeze, the settlement and dropping of the case, as the citation for that sentence is not ideal as it is an affiliated source. As this content is cited and stated factually I hadn't really considered looking to find further content or change wording on these points, but those would be my thoughts, COI notwithstanding.
• There is no current Wikipedia consensus regarding Warsaw Point as a reliable source, but from the tone, circulation figures and formatting it does not look like it meets BLP criteria. I would say that an admin should review the site in general but I would not be comfortable suggesting including it as a source, especially for a BLP, without such an assessment.
• Source Material looks more professional despite being a .org publisher, and they openly declare the sponsor foundations funding their journalism. However the claims made are already in the article in the "Glencore" section with sources which are already considered generally reliable such as The Telegraph, Reuters, and three articles from the Times (I have linked one here). I don't have any particular recommendations for the wording in this section.

In summary I think the existing sources currently suffice and are stronger, though the NYT might be useful as an additional citation on some points.

In my view the speech paragraph would still benefit from having the parliamentary privilege note as it does not have the same reliability status as these other cited claims.

Speaking of reliability, I wonder if you might take a look at the banner on the article, stating that "Some of this article's listed sources may not be reliable". Looking at the "References" section I think most of these are gone now, especially now that the "Charity" section has been removed. I have my own thoughts here and will submit a new request.

Finally, I agree with you that the "Charity" section did not really reflect "Charity", more philanthropic foundations/board roles, and the majority of which were not supported by references which meet Wikipedia’s criteria, as above. That said, would it be possible to restore the "Tennis" sub-section but moved to within the "Career" section? It never really fit the charity descriptor in any case, and moving it was on my list for future fixes.

Thanks again, I appreciate the work in helping improve the article. Podsought (talk) 06:40, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

October Edit Request

Hi @Likeanechointheforest, here are the changes in the format you specified:

1. Could the sub-section in regards to Bulat Utemuratov's involvement with tennis, which was previously in the "Charity" section, be restored within the "Careers" subsection after the last paragraph:

Extended content

−

As of 2013, Utemuratov was a key investor of the projects managed by [[Verny Capital]] investment group, together with [[VEON]] he also owned two telecommunications operators –"KarTel" in Kazakhstan and "SkyMobile" in Kyrgyzstan operating under the brand [[Beeline (brand)]]. Verny Capital is a majority shareholder in a gold mining company RG Gold, while 35 percent equity stake belongs to Resource Capital Funds, a US-based private equity fund. Utemuratov is the main shareholder of [[:ru:ForteBank|ForteBank]]; he owns the Burger King franchise in Kazakhstan and has holdings in hotel sector.

Utemuratov has been the President of the Kazakhstan Tennis Federation since 2007. In September 2019, Utemuratov was elected as [[International Tennis Federation|ITF]] Vice-President. On 9 July 2022, Elena Rybakina became the first Kazakh to win the Ladies Singles tennis championship at Wimbledon. Rybakina thanked Utemuratov for his role as head of the Kazakh tennis federation in a press conference after her win.

Reason for change: Bulat Utemuratov's involvement in both domestic (Kazakhstan) and world tennis is one of the more notable aspects of his modern career and did not properly belong in the Charity section.

2. The speech paragraph in reference to Margaret Hodge would benefit from the addition of the phrase "using parliamentary privilege":

Extended content

−

In March 2022, Dame [[Margaret Hodge]], a British Member of Parliament, named Utemuratov in a speech advocating for sanctions against Kazakh billionaires.

Reason for change: Adds context regarding the separate verifiability conditions of claims made in such speeches.

3. As discussed above, the is a New York Times source which can be added to the Freezing of assets section to support the existing WSJ reference and replace the affiliated source:

Extended content

−

On 1 December 2020, The Wall Street Journal reported about the freezing of Utemuratov's assets including stakes in luxury hotels, cash in bank accounts in half a dozen countries and a Burger King franchise, by a UK civil court on the claim of BTA Bank. According to a statement distributed by Verny Capital on 9 December 2020, the freezing injunction of the English Court in relation to the assets of Bulat Utemuratov had been revoked following a settlement between the two parties.

4. Would it be possible for you to remove the banner regarding the sources which may not be reliable, following the removal of any outstanding subpar citations? The dead/unreliable citations I think need updating are as follows:

Extended content

• The unnecessary external link and sec.govreference within the "Career" section in regard to Kassa Nova, as this is a primary source. I suggest replacing with the following Kursiv source. I have also rewritten the sentence for spelling and accuracy:

−

After the 2009 crisis, Kassa Nova, the first [[microcredit bank]] in Kazakhstan, was established. In 2020 Kassa Nova was acquiered by Freedom Holding Corp for an approximate $ 41 million.

+

Kassa Nova, formerly owned by Utemuratov, was established in 2009 and was acquired in 2020 by Freedom Holding Corp for an approximate $ 41 million.

References

• The current source within the "Personal life" section confirming Utemuratov's family members does not meet Wikipedia's reliable source criteria. The sentence could be partly cited using the following Bloomberg article. As this information is accurate I have no problem leaving the sentence as is but indicating that a further source is needed:

Utemuratov is married to Utemuratova (Baishuakova) Azhar Abzhamiyevna. He has two sons and a daughter.

References

• Can the deadlink regarding Utemuratov's time on the Security Council be replaced with the archived version: https://web.archive.org/web/20220523165009/https://www.akorda.kz/en/executive_office/presidential_councils/security-council

• Can the deadlink in the Awards section be replaced with the archived version: https://web.archive.org/web/20190609125712/http://kazakhstan.news-city.info/docs/sistemsx/dok_iedhfb.htm with the following text, translated from Russian to English, confirming Utemuratov under the list of recipients: Утемуратова Болата Джамитовича - помощника Президента Республики Казахстан.

Hi @Likeanechointheforest, once again, thank you for engaging with my request and implementing those changes.

I have one further minor modification to ask of you - when you have a moment, can the plural "Kazakhs businessman" in the lead please be altered to the singular adjective "Kazakh businessman"?

June 2026 Edit Request

Hi I have a conflict of interest with Bulat Utemuratov and would like to suggest some further quick changes to the article following some updates to companies he owns.

@Likeanechointheforest I remember you were extremely helpful last time around and if you have a moment to share your thoughts I'd love to hear them!

1. In the second to last paragraph of the Career section, could the following assets be updated to reflect that these have now been sold?

Bunq

Edit request due to COI

Howdy - Previously, I disclosed that I have been contacted by the subject of this article via the in-app helpdesk after an edit war and sock puppetry, all because I reverted a removal of the controversy section. Following this controversy, the press took notice. Here's the article in dutch: https://fd.nl/financiele-markten/1540577/bunq-ondervraagt-klant-via-bankapp-na-onlinekritiek

"After a Wikipedia editor performed an edit on bunqs page in November 2024, bunq identified and contacted her through the banks in-app helpdesk. Pieter Wolters, an associate professor at the Radboud University Nijmegen stated in an interview that bunq seems to want to control the online narrative. Bunq replied by stating that they adhere to Wikipedia's guidelines for editing, simply wanting to listen and learn from feedback."

I think this might be fitting for the controversy section, but I won't do any edits regarding that due to obvious COI as I am not certain if other editors here think it should be added. I am not sure if this is notable enough. FD however is a recognized large economic newspaper in the Netherlands.

Not my call to make though! Snarkyalyx (talk) 00:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I think it is more than worthy of inclusion. Thanks for sharing the link. I'm on it... Constablequackers (talk) 11:15, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Constablequackers there's another article in tweakers where Bunq said that everything was factually incorrect: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/229962/fd-bunq-spoort-klant-achter-anoniem-wikipedia-account-op-na-kritiek.html Snarkyalyx (talk) 12:56, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Tweakers is notable enough for a wikipedia article and very large in the NL. Snarkyalyx (talk) 13:57, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Tweakers has a strong editorial policy and editorial independence policy and seems to be generally reliable for articles within the tech space. RachelTensions (talk) 15:37, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

If it helps: Tweakers is owned by DPG Media, a large media company that currently owns about 50% of all Dutch newspapers. Sietske (talk) 10:37, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

@Constablequackers, I saw "tweakers" and I thought 'meth heads!' too. According to Tweakers, The name is derived from the verb "tweaking", which is a word geeks use to refer to optimisation of hardware. I added the tweakers ref to the section as well, it's a good ref to buttress the bold claims that we all know have happened here. BarntToust 22:58, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification about the name of Tweakers. I had a look at your additions and I think you hit all the right marks. I made some slight edits for wording, clarity, and grammar that I hope won't cause any issues. Constablequackers (talk) 14:12, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Already done closing this on the assumption that it's been complete though I'm a little confused here, feel free to reopen if further help is needed. Rusalkii (talk) 07:25, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Adding an Operations section

Hello editors, I'm here on behalf of bunq to suggest some improvements to the article. I've uploaded a diff in my user space with the suggested improvements if you'd like to see what I have in mind.

Extended content

To start, I'd like to request the creation of an operations section. I think this helps organize the article, and adds some missing details. Operations Bunq is headquartered in Amsterdam. It offers personal and business bank accounts and a public API that allows software developers to access their bank accounts programmatically and build their apps. The company offers different banking plans across EEA countries, with customer deposits protected by the Dutch Deposit Guarantee up to €100,000. As a licensed bank, Bunq account holders fall under the Deposit Guarantee Scheme of the European Central Bank.

As of 2019, Bunq had been offering mobile financial services in 30 European countries. Bunq was the first digital bank in Europe to offer mortgages. Bunq had 464 employees in 2024. Bunq applied for a broker-dealer license with FINRA and the SEC in 2025, ahead of applying for for a U.S. banking license in 2026.

Hi Spintendo, thanks for your reply. I used the Tech Crunch and Forbes sources because I was reorganizing content from the live article, and they're currently being used.

CMS (law firm)

Request Edits for March 2026

I have suggestions for updating the page. I have a WP:COI as a consultant for WhiteHatWiki, which was hired by the subject of this article.

1. What I think should be changed:

Please update the following lines in the infobox:

Change from:

|num_offices= Approx. 80 |num_attorneys= 5800

Change to:

|num_offices= Approx. 90 |num_attorneys= 7200

Why: Provides most recent numbers

2. What I think should be changed:

In the infobox, please update “Key people”

Remove this one:

|Duncan Weston
(Executive Partner)|

And please add the following:

|Hubertus Kolster
(Vice Chairman)|Stephan Millar
(Executive Partner)|

Why: Weston left the role in February 2026 and was replaced by Millar; also adding the role of Vice Chairman, the second highest ranking in the organization.

3. What I think should be changed:

Please replace the first sentence of the lead paragraph:

Change from:

CMS is an international law firm that offers legal and tax advisory services.

Change to:

CMS is an international organization of independent law firms.

Why: As the Structure section of the article explains, CMS is a European Economic Interest Grouping - EEIG. It’s an organizing body that coordinates the efforts of its member firms but CMS does not act on behalf of clients itself. I’ve rewritten the sentence with a new supporting citation that supports the details of CMS’s operations. According to the source “The international secretariat of the CMS organisation is run from Frankfurt and all members of the EEIG carry the CMS brand in front of their legacy names.”

4. What I think should be changed:

In the “Russia” subsection of the History section, please remove the first paragraph:

Carter-Ruck was involved in legal action against Financial Times journalist Catherine Belton and her publisher HarperCollins over her book Putin's People.

Why: This paragraph does not mention CMS. It’s about an entirely different company, Carter-Ruck. Carter-Ruck has no affiliation with CMS.

5. What I think should be changed:

In the “Russia” subsection of the History section, please rewrite the second paragraph:

Change from:

In April 2022, CMS law firm was named alongside Harbour Litigation Funding by Kevin Hollinrake MP, in a letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak MP, as two professional services firms acting for the benefit of Russian state entities during the invasion of Ukraine. The letter highlighted that both Harbour and CMS are working on behalf of the Russian state-owned DIA to bypass sanction regimes and obtain funds and assets from abroad in order to fund the invasion of Ukraine.

Change to:

In April 2022, Conservative MP Kevin Hollinrake wrote to Chancellor Rishi Sunak calling for the closure of what he described as “loopholes” allowing UK law firms to continue work on ongoing bankruptcy proceedings connected to Russia’s state-owned Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA), citing CMS and litigation funder Harbour. CMS said it was advising bankruptcy trustees and that any asset distributions would comply with relevant sanctions.

Why: As written, the paragraph doesn’t accurately reflect the source, which does not say “bypass sanction regimes.” I’ve rewritten the paragraph according to what can be verified by the City AM article and removed non-neutral language. I’ve also included CMS’s response, which was reported in the article, per WP:BALANCE.

6. What I think should be changed:

In the “Russia” subsection of the History section, please rewrite the third paragraph:

Change from:

CMS was named by U.S. congressman Steve Cohen as doing "unscrupulous" work for Russia that undermined democratic values and strengthened the Vladimir Putin regime in Russia. CMS rejected allegations of impropriety and said the firm had not accepted new instructions from individuals associated with the Putin regime.

Change to:

Geraldine Proudler of CMS was named by U.S. Representative Steve Cohen in a letter urging visa bans for six UK lawyers, in which he accused them of performing “unscrupulous work” that “enabled” oligarchs linked to Vladimir Putin. CMS said it “strongly rejected” allegations of impropriety and determined that Proudler had complied with all professional regulations. The firm stated that since the invasion of Ukraine, it was no longer accepting new work on behalf of Russia-based entities or individuals connected to the Russian government.

Why: Rewriting to more accurately reflect the source, which notes that Cohen’s letter named a single CMS attorney, not the firm. Also removed non-neutral language that doesn’t appear in the source and made clear which language should be directly attributed to Cohen.

7. What I think should be changed:

In the “Russia” subsection of the History section, please add a fourth paragraph:

By April 2022, CMS closed its offices in Moscow and cut ties to Russia over the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

Why: The fact that the firm shuttered operations in Russia immediately following the events described in this subsection is a highly relevant detail currently missing from the page.

8. In the Locations section, please delete the list of members:

Members

• CMS Albiñana & Suárez de Lezo, Spain
• CMS Adonnino Ascoli & Cavasola Scamoni, Italy
• CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang, United Kingdom
• CMS Carey & Allende, Chile

CRISPR

Edit Request: Addition of DNA-guided CRISPR

Potentially add to History section under Cas12a?

DNA-guided CRISPR

Main article: DNA-guided CRISPR

Modified versions of Class II systems (specifically Cas12a) function with an artificial single-stranded DNA guide in place of natural RNA. Within this new paradigm, the system's endonuclease activity now is redirected towards cleaving ssRNA instead of dsDNA. With DNA as the guide, the need for intricate RNA preparation and preservation is no longer required, allowing Class II effectors more versatility in programmable RNA targeting and translational biotechnology.

Cameron International

Edit Request –Infobox / Lead / Organization

NOTE: I’m proposing the following edits for FleishmanHillard on behalf of SLB. I’m a paid editor and aware of the COI guidelines. These proposed edits are intended to help the article reflect that Cameron International is no longer an independently operating company following Schlumberger/SLB’s acquisition of the company in 2015.

Extended content

Thanks for your consideration. Infobox

Since Cameron International is no longer a standalone company, I propose the following infobox edits:

• Remove Revenue line item
• Remove Number of employees line item
• Remove Founders line item (though it may be advantageous to keep for historical purposes – will defer to the editor)
• Update Parent to read “SLB” instead of “Schlumberger” to reflect SLB’s correct name.

Lead

• Please revise the first sentence to read as follows (to reflect accurate “past tense” status of the company and to remove “operating under” since the company no longer operates at all following SLB’s acquisition). Changed area in bold:

“Cameron International Corporation (formerly Cooper Cameron Corporation (CCC) and Cooper Oil Tool, Cameron Iron Works) was a global provider of pressure control, production, processing, and flow control systems as well as project management and aftermarket services for the oil and gas and process industries.”

Organization

• Please update the second sentence of the Organization section to read as follows (to account for proper framing of the pre-acquisition business):

“At the time of its acquisition, the main business lines (product groups) were:”

• Content in this section’s sub-bullets also need to be shifted to past tense to reflect the historical nature of this information (ex: “Drilling Systems manufactured” instead of the current “manufactures”). To keep this request relatively brief, I’m happy to make these tense changes throughout this section if approved by an editor. Please let me know.

History

• Please add the following sentence to the end of the final sentence of the History section to provide the reader with context on how Cameron’s products have been incorporated into SLB’s business:

The acquisition incorporated Cameron’s pressure valves and blowout preventers into Schlumberger’s (SLB’s) portfolio.
