McGraw Hill Education

Requested edit

The following changes are requested to update the informational accuracy of the Controversies section.

In October 2015, McGraw-Hill Education was accused of whitewashing history after it had published a geography textbook with a caption referring to American slaves as "workers."[48] The company quickly apologized, promised to update the digital version of the materials, and offered schools replacement texts at no charge.

Justin Driscoll

New headshot image

As an employee of NYPA (New York Power Authority), I'm here on the organization's behalf making a request due to my conflict of interest. I've uploaded a new headshot image for Mr. Driscoll to Wikimedia Commons: can this image be added to the infobox to replace the current one? Here's the link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Headshot_image_of_Justin_Driscoll.png The image that's there right now isn't very high quality, and is a zoomed in crop from a larger group photo. The one I've provided above is a high quality headshot taken by NYPA. Let me know if anything is needed to help with this update! TN NYPA (talk) 15:07, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

@TN NYPA:  Done Thank you for your contribution! –DMartin (talk) 23:49, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

I have also updated Driscoll's image on Wikidata. –DMartin (talk) 23:51, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your assistance with this update, DMartin. TN NYPA (talk) 15:41, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Headshot and infobox request

Hello, I'm back again with another request. The headshot that I added to Wikimedia

Commons (and that DMartin added to this article) was briefly removed. I uploaded it again and got a confirmation from someone at Wikimedia that my permission had been added to the file page, which you can find here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Justin_E._Driscoll.jpg Could we again add this image to the article, but this time within an infobox? I put together a draft version of what this could look like:

Proposed infobox

Justin E. Driscoll
President and CEO of the New York Power Authority
Incumbent
Assumed office August 2023
Preceded by	Gil C. Quiniones
Personal details
Education	American University (BA)<br>[[New York Law School]] (JD)

Would something like this work? Please let me know! TN NYPA (talk) 02:31, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Done Happy to make more additions to the infobox upon request! Discourses on Livvy (talk · contribs) 04:14, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your help here, Discourses on Livvy. I'm about to post another small request. Would be great if you could review that one as well. TN NYPA (talk) 02:48, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Personal life request

Hello, I have another request that I'm hoping editors watching this page will consider. The Personal life section currently includes details about Mr. Driscoll's family that don't feel particularly relevant or encyclopedic. Could we trim this section back to simply state that "Driscoll grew up near Albany and resides in Rye, New York with his wife"? Thank you for looking into this. TN NYPA (talk) 02:52, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Not done: It's pretty routine for a "personal life" section to include basic information like this, and it is well-cited. This is not PII, and has already been reported on elsewhere, so I don't think it's necesary to remove it under WP:BLPPRIVACY. –DMartin (talk) 05:42, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Career Section Request

I have a new request, this time about updating the Career section.

I'm hoping that editors would be amenable to lightly restructuring this section to provide a chronological accounting of Mr. Driscoll's career. The current content jumps around in time ("before becoming," "prior to that," etc.) and is thus hard to follow.

There's also one misleading claim near the end of this section that states Mr. Driscoll was "[a]n early opponent to the Build Public Renewables Act." That wording makes it seem like he was ideologically opposed to renewables. The cited source, however, makes it clear that his "opposition" was simply concern about the feasibility of implementation: "Driscoll early on opposed the legislation, saying NYPA wouldn’t be able to develop green energy at a lower cost than private companies. Large state agencies typically operate under layers of regulations, which makes it hard to compete with the private sector."

I put together a draft that presents Mr. Driscoll's career chronologically and adds the identified context about the Build Public Renewables Act. I also added a few new details that have been mentioned in media coverage.

Updated Career section

After receiving his law degree from New York Law School in 1981, Driscoll entered private practice. In 1984, he was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. He then practiced within the civil branch of the Supreme Court for New York and Bronx counties. During his years of private practice, Driscoll represented large companies, governmental entities, and energy providers.

From 1995 to 2003, he represented the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York as outside litigation counsel. From 2005 to 2007, he served as senior vice president and general counsel of the New York State Housing Finance Agency and the State of New York Mortgage Agency.

From 2008 to 2014, Driscoll was a partner at the lobbying firm Brown & Weinraub, where he specialized in "government relations, litigation, and public finance" according to Westchester magazine.

In September 2014, Driscoll became executive vice president and general counsel for the New York Power Authority, the largest state public power organization in the United States. His oversight responsibility included the NYPA’s Ethics and Compliance division. Driscoll served in this role for seven years.

In November 2021, NYPA president and CEO Gil Quiniones resigned and Driscoll assumed both roles in an interim capacity. In July 2022, New York Governor Kathy Hochul nominated Driscoll to take over both roles permanently. Driscoll, a Republican, faced resistance to his confirmation from New York City Democratic Socialists and the Public Power NY coalition, in part due to his perceived resistance to the Build Public Renewables Act. The Times Union stated that Driscoll initially opposed the legislation because he was concerned that "NYPA wouldn’t be able to develop green energy at a lower cost than private companies."

In August 2023, Driscoll formally assumed the NYPA positions. As president and CEO, Driscoll oversees the NYPA's thousands of circuit-miles of high-voltage transmission and 17 generation facilities. He directs the public benefit corporation's function as a project developer and energy supplier for its state customers. In 2025, City & State noted that Driscoll is "bringing the New York Power Authority back to its nuclear roots" by implementing Governor Hochul's nuclear power directives. In December 2025, the NYPA updated its renewable energy plan and increased its goals for solar, wind, and energy storage.

Driscoll is also a board member of several energy-related organizations, including the Alliance to Save Energy, the Electric Power Research Institute, and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.

References

I'm hoping that DMartin or another editor can review what I've put together. And thank you for your time, I know this is a volunteer-led site. I'm simply trying to help ensure the information here is accurate and encyclopedic.TN NYPA (talk) 17:52, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Debenhams Group

COI Edit Request: Update Chief Executive/CEO Leadership

* Account holding COI: MaxF_360 * Target article: Debenhams Group

=== Proposed changes ===
The article currently omits the appointment of Dan Finley as Group CEO and has an outdated reference to Carol Kane as Chief Executive in the "Business operations" section. I am requesting the following two factual updates:

1. History section
Please add the following sentence after the paragraph beginning "In December 2024, Boohoo shareholders blocked Mike Ashley and an associate from joining its board..."
 : Proposed text: On 1 November 2024, Dan Finley was appointed Group CEO, succeeding John Lyttle.
 : Rationale: This fills a chronological gap. The article already includes other recent corporate developments such as board changes and the March 2025 rebrand.

2. Business operations section
Please update the opening sentence of the section to reflect Carol Kane's current role.
 : Current text: "According to Chief executive Carol Kane, Boohoo can differentiate itself from its closest rivals..."
 : Proposed text: "According to Group Executive Director Carol Kane, Boohoo can differentiate itself from its closest rivals..."
 : Rationale: This aligns the prose with information already present elsewhere in the article.

No changes are requested to the infobox, which is already up to date.

=== Supporting sources ===
* Reuters: British retailer Boohoo appoints Dan Finley CEO amid demands from Mike Ashley (1 November 2024) * London Stock Exchange RNS announcement (via Financial Times Markets)

Thank you for reviewing this request. MaxF 360 (talk) 16:10, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Concord (entertainment company)

Requested Edits June 2026

I have suggestions for improving this page. I have a WP:COI as an employee of Concord.

1. What I think should be changed:

Please replace the first sentence of the lead paragraph:

From:

Alchemy Copyrights, LLC, doing business as Concord, is an independent American entertainment company.

To:

Concord (incorporated as Alchemy Copyrights LLC) is an independent entertainment company, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee.

Why I think it should be changed:

The company is consistently referred to as “Concord” in secondary sources, Starting the lead sentence with “Concord” improves clarity and reflects common usage. I also replaced the citations in the existing first sentence, replacing a non-independent primary source, Apollo.com, an investor in the company, as well as a dead link.

2. What I think should be changed:

In the History section, in the “Concord Music Group (2004–2015)” subsection, please add a hatnote linking to the standalone article:

Main article: Concord Music Group

Why I think it should be changed:

This subsection summarizes the period when the company operated as a different entity, Concord Music Group, which is covered in greater detail in the standalone article. Adding a hatnote follows WP:SUMMARYSTYLE, since the section covers a distinct subject with its own page.

3. What I think should be changed:

In the History section, please change the name of the “Concord (2017–present)” subsection.

Change to:

“Concord Music (2017–2019)”

Why I think it should be changed:

The company stopped using the name Concord Music in 2019, verified by source 62 .

5. What I think should be changed:

In the History section, in the subsection that should now be named “Concord Music (2017–2019)” , please delete the first sentence of the fifth paragraph:

The name Concord Music remained in use until early 2019.

Why I think it should be changed:

The information is redundant with the sentence that it (“By May 1, 2019, the company was rebranded as Concord. “) and cites a primary source.

6. What I think should be changed:

In the History section, in the subsection that should now be named “Concord Music (2017–2019)”, please replace what should now be the first sentence of the fifth paragraph:

Change from:

By May 1, 2019, the company was restyled as Concord.

Change to:

By May 1, 2019, the company was rebranded as Concord.

Why I think it should be changed:

Rewritten to remove jargon/promo language.

7. What I think should be changed:

In the History section, in the subsection that should now be named “Concord Music (2017–2019)”, create a new subsection above the sentence “By May 1, 2019…” Here’s what it would look like with the sentence:

“Concord (2019 - present)”

By May 1, 2019, the company was rebranded as Concord.

Why I think it should be changed:

Creating this subsection provides accurate delineation in the company’s history. I’ve changed “restyled” to “rebranded” for NPOV.

8. What I think should be changed:

In the History section, beneath the “Concord (2019 – present),” please add a new 15th paragraph:

In 2024, Concord agreed to acquire the Hipgnosis Songs Fund, a music catalog investment company for approximately $1.4 billion. Concord was later outbid by the investment firm Blackstone, which acquired Hipgnosis for $1.6 billion.

Why I think it should be changed:

The initial deal and subsequent outbidding was heavily covered in the press, making it a notable point in the company’s history.

Thanks for taking the time to review! Snoopywoodstock2 (talk) 17:22, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

@That Article Editing Guy: @Nattasorn2001: - letting you know about these as you’re the editors most recently active on the page. Thanks!

Humana

2013 promotional content tag

Hello! I'm E, a representative for Humana. I saw that this article had a promotional tag on it that is over a decade old. Specifically, it mentions "removing promotional language and inappropriate external links"

I looked into the history and the tag seems to be pertaining to an old "Humana's Prescription Home Delivery" section with a link to the service both in the reference and in the External links section. You can see it here

That section and link have since been removed and editors will see the page overall has been substantially changed since the tag was added in 2013. Would an editor remove this tag? Because of my conflict of interest, I will not make direct changes to the article. Thanks! E Humana (talk) 20:43, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I'm unclear why the tag was added. There's no edit summary nor corresponding talk page discussion.

Skimming the current references, it appears the article is heavily dependent upon press releases and similarly poor and promotional sources. Given this, the template still seems to fit, specifically, adding encyclopedic text written from a neutral point of view. --Hipal (talk) 21:34, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

The Promotional tag has to do with marketing-style or showboating language in the article, not the use of suboptimal sources. I have scanned the article for such and found nothing that is a particular problem that would require this tag, and have removed the tag. If anyone wants to add better citations, have at it. Stefen 𝕋ower ^{Huddle • Handiwerk} 18:20, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

My understanding of the general consensus around the use of the tag is not consistent with your interpretation. I've added a third-party tag after skimming over the first 15 refs and finding many problems. --Hipal (talk) 20:01, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

My understanding of the general consensus is what I stated, having been a Wikipedian for nearly 22 years. The third-party tag is a reasonable tag. Just because citations are insufficient doesn't mean "promotion" is happening to the degree where we would have a concern that demands a Promotional tag. Stefen 𝕋ower ^{Huddle • Handiwerk} 20:05, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

I'm glad we agree on the way forward. --Hipal (talk) 16:46, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Edit request Oct 21

Thanks Hipal I see what you mean! I did some research and found sourcing more in line with what Wikipedia requires. The draft can be found in my user space, a quick breakdown is as follows:

Extended content

Kept sentence, added new source:

• In 1993, Humana had become the largest hospital operator in the country, owning 77 hospitals.
• Humana is the official health benefits provider of the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.
• In 2001, Humana was a cofounder of Avality.
• In May 2011, Humana announced it would be using mobileStorm to transmit protected health information to patients.
• In July 2015, Aetna announced that it would acquire Humana for $37 billion in cash and stock (approximately $230 a share at that time). Aetna and Humana shareholders would own 74% and 26% of the new combined company, however the merger was blocked by a federal judge in January 2017.
• In December 2019, the company announced it would acquire Enclara Healthcare from Consonance Capital Partners and Enclara management.
• In February 2023, Humana announced they were exiting the employer-based commercial group insurance market.
• Humana is the presenting sponsor of the Grand Ole Opry and the National Senior Games.
• Since 1979, Humana has been a principal sponsor of the annual Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville, Kentucky.
• On December 22, 2022, the Department of Defense announced the award of the managed care support contract for the TRICARE East Region to Humana Military.
• On May 30, 1996, Linda Peeno, a physician who was contracted to work for Humana for nine months, testified before Congress as to the downside of managed care. Peeno said she was effectively rewarded by her employer for causing the death of a patient, because it saved the company a half-million dollars. Peeno stated that she felt the "managed care" model was inherently unethical.
• In July 2018, Humana joined two private equity firms in the acquisition of Kindred Healthcare. The deal provided Humana with a 40% stake in the company's home health, hospice and community care businesses, called "Kindred at Home," for approximately $800 million.

Note: This had a Forbes Contributor source and the other source did not verify 100% of the sentence, so I swapped Forbes with Fierce Healthcare.

• In 2021, Susan Diamond, formerly occupying an interim position, was announced to be the new permanent CFO. Her appointment to the position comes with the company's focus being turned towards the home healthcare business, acquiring in April of the same year a 60% stake in Kindred at Home, an in-home care and hospice business.

Note: The article currently uses three sources, one of which is a press release. The WSJ article verifies all information in the sentence, so the other two were removed.

Rewrote sentence with new source:

• Old: In 2024, the company ranked 92 on the Fortune 500 list, which made it the highest ranked (by revenues) company based in Kentucky.

New: Humana ranked No. 39 on the 2025 United States Fortune 500 list and No. 85 on the 2025 Global Fortune 500 list.

• Old: The Humana Distaff Handicap is a Grade 1 race for thoroughbred fillies and mares, four-years-old and up. The race is run each spring on Kentucky Derby day at Churchill Downs and set at a distance of 7 furlongs for a purse of $250,000.

New: The Derby City Distaff Stakes was created in 1987. In 1995, Humana became its sponsor; the race was named the Humana Distaff Handicap from 1995-2006 and the Humana Distaff from 2007-2019.

• Old: It is the fourth largest health insurance provider in the U.S.

New: It was the sixth-largest insurer in the world, as of 2025.

Removed sentence due to lack of sourcing source:

• During this period, Humana developed the double corridor model for hospital construction. This design minimized the distance between patients and nurses by placing nursing support services in the interior of the building with patient rooms surrounding the perimeter.
• On November 16, 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Humana Inc. partnered to expand on traditional private-sector approaches to population health management.
• LPGA player Nancy Scranton was a spokesperson for Humana.
• HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, in a letter to the insurance industry, threatened that bad actors may be excluded from new health insurance markets that were to open in 2014. Senate Republicans pointed out in a letter to Sebelius that a 1997 directive from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services explicitly allowed HMOs to tell members about legislation and urge them to express opinions.

Note: This was specifically removed because it is not about Humana

References

Let me know if you have any thoughts, thanks! E Humana (talk) 14:52, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. That's a lot to review. Glancing over it, a lot of the references look to be press releases or the like. It will take some careful reviewing to go over them all. --Hipal (talk) 15:49, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Hipal! Let me know if you have any questions. I know it is a lot so I am happy to provide clarity. E Humana (talk) 19:53, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

If you could identify any that might be press releases or something similar, that would help. --Hipal (talk) 20:08, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Hipal, when I was looking for sources, I was avoiding press releases and stuck to items with bylines when possible.

That being said, I looked at these closer and have a few notes on them for you to consider

• Sources #4, #5, #6 link the announcements but don't attribute the content to it.
• Source #3 credits Bloomberg
• Source #8 and #18 have a staff writer byline but does look like it could have content lifted from a PR, but no attribution to one
• Source #13 uses a quote from a press release
• Source #14 and #15 are from the Fortune 500 website (which appears to be standard practice Fortune rankings)
• Source #16 and #17 are from the race's published results (which appears to be standard practice for this type of information)
• Sources #1-2, #7, #9-12, all appear reliable to me

With the exception of #14-17, the articles all at least have a staff writer byline, showing some level of fact checking and editorial oversight.

Happy to continue the discussion! Let me know what you think, E Humana (talk) 14:20, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Apologies for not getting back to this sooner. I'm afraid that I still have little time to put into this, nor do I expect that will change in the coming months.

Re PGA: Are there sources that can verify that it is ongoing? Without them, the statement fails verification.

Re Avality, mobileStorm, Enclara Healthcare, etc : Why are they important to Humana?

While we do need to make sure references are reliable, we also need to make sure they indicate that the information is WP:DUE and encyclopedic. --Hipal (talk) 19:07, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Hipal Good questions!

Re PGA: That is a good point and you are right about the point in time, since there is sourcing to show more concrete dates. Here is a better proposal:

Extended content

Humana was a tour partner of the PGA Tour beginning in 2005. It served as the official health benefits provider of the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. In 2014, the company announced it would end its sponsorship after the 2015 event.

References

Re Avality, mobileStorm, Enclara Healthcare, etc: I was looking more at sourcing than considering WP:DUE. As for WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC, I do think acquisitions, subsidiaries, divisions etc. do have enough knowledge value to warrant inclusion.

Let me know if you have any other questions! I understand you're busy and this will take a closer eye, I will just check in intermittently like I have been to see if you had any new thoughts. Thanks, E Humana (talk) 22:05, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder about this. Re PGA tour sponsor:

The Sports Business Journal ref appears to be a warmed-over press release, so I'm unsure how much to rely upon it.

Maybe just

Humana was a tour partner of the PGA Tour beginning from 2005 to 2015.

I'm unclear if the change in Humana's role in 2011 should be included as well. --Hipal (talk) 19:48, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Hipal I think that language is good! Let me know if there are any other questions. E Humana (talk) 18:35, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

I've added it and removed the related content sourced to press releases. --Hipal (talk) 18:54, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Hipal Thanks for the update! Did you have any thoughts or questions on the sourcing updates and fixes in the above initial request in the expand box? If it helps, I can break out a new request to remove what has been done already. Just let me know! E Humana (talk) 17:36, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes, breaking out new request(s) would help. Maybe group together simple requests that you feel should be easy to review and straightforward to approve. --Hipal (talk) 17:51, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Filtered request

Per Hipal I have taken the previous request seen above and removed what has already been done so the outstanding items can be evaluated.

Only source updating

These are sentences that can stay the same but should have a new source swapped, since the current one is not up to guidelines. The proposed source verifies the sentences as they are.

• In 1993, Humana had become the largest hospital operator in the country, owning 77 hospitals.
• In 2001, Humana was a cofounder of Avality.
• In May 2011, Humana announced it would be using mobileStorm to transmit protected health information to patients.
• In July 2015, Aetna announced that it would acquire Humana for $37 billion in cash and stock (approximately $230 a share at that time). Aetna and Humana shareholders would own 74% and 26% of the new combined company, however the merger was blocked by a federal judge in January 2017.
• In December 2019, the company announced it would acquire Enclara Healthcare from Consonance Capital Partners and Enclara management.
• In February 2023, Humana announced they were exiting the employer-based commercial group insurance market.
• Humana is the presenting sponsor of the Grand Ole Opry and the National Senior Games.
• Since 1979, Humana has been a principal sponsor of the annual Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville, Kentucky.
• On December 22, 2022, the Department of Defense announced the award of the managed care support contract for the TRICARE East Region to Humana Military.
• On May 30, 1996, Linda Peeno, a physician who was contracted to work for Humana for nine months, testified before Congress as to the downside of managed care. Peeno said she was effectively rewarded by her employer for causing the death of a patient, because it saved the company a half-million dollars. Peeno stated that she felt the "managed care" model was inherently unethical.
• In July 2018, Humana joined two private equity firms in the acquisition of Kindred Healthcare. The deal provided Humana with a 40% stake in the company's home health, hospice and community care businesses, called "Kindred at Home," for approximately $800 million.

Note: This had a Forbes Contributor source and the other source did not verify 100% of the sentence, so I swapped Forbes with Fierce Healthcare.

• In 2021, Susan Diamond, formerly occupying an interim position, was announced to be the new permanent CFO. Her appointment to the position comes with the company's focus being turned towards the home healthcare business, acquiring in April of the same year a 60% stake in Kindred at Home, an in-home care and hospice business.

Note: The article currently uses three sources, one of which is a press release. The WSJ article verifies all information in the sentence, so the other two were removed.

References

Both rewrite AND source updating

These are sentences where the current source is not up to guidelines. An alternative source was located, but it does not verify the current sentence so a rewrite is needed.

• Old: In 2024, the company ranked 92 on the Fortune 500 list, which made it the highest ranked (by revenues) company based in Kentucky.

New: Humana ranked No. 39 on the 2025 United States Fortune 500 list and No. 85 on the 2025 Global Fortune 500 list.

• Old: The Humana Distaff Handicap is a Grade 1 race for thoroughbred fillies and mares, four-years-old and up. The race is run each spring on Kentucky Derby day at Churchill Downs and set at a distance of 7 furlongs for a purse of $250,000.

• Old: It is the fourth largest health insurance provider in the U.S.

New: It was the sixth-largest insurer in the world, as of 2025.

References

No source available, suggest full removal

These are sentences where the current source is not up to guidelines and I have not been able to locate an alternative source, so I am proposing removal of the sentence entirely.

• During this period, Humana developed the double corridor model for hospital construction. This design minimized the distance between patients and nurses by placing nursing support services in the interior of the building with patient rooms surrounding the perimeter.
• On November 16, 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Humana Inc. partnered to expand on traditional private-sector approaches to population health management.
• HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, in a letter to the insurance industry, threatened that bad actors may be excluded from new health insurance markets that were to open in 2014. Senate Republicans pointed out in a letter to Sebelius that a 1997 directive from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services explicitly allowed HMOs to tell members about legislation and urge them to express opinions.

Note: This last one was specifically removed because it is not about Humana

@Hipal: This is now the oldest in progress request. Can you please respond or remove the under review tag? Czarking0 (talk) 19:28, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

I've changed the tag to partially implemented. I don't see my schedule opening up enough for continuing to work on this alone in a timely manner. --Hipal (talk) 17:04, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

I understand! I have added the edit request template. Thanks for the heads up! E Humana (talk) 18:51, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello StefenTower, I wanted to tag you on this request because I saw above your concerns about citations for this article and updating the tag. This request is to update the citations with neutral and independent sources in order to overall improve the article. Since I have a conflict of interest as an employee of Humana, I cannot make these updates myself and an independent editor should review it instead. I thought you would find these sources I have presented useful if you continue to go throughout the article and improve it. Let me know if you have any questions! E Humana (talk) 17:14, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

That's quite a bit to go through. I may pick at it here and there as I work on other things the next few weeks. Thank you for the thorough request at any rate. Stefen 𝕋ower ^{Huddle • Handiwerk} 00:58, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

• The above edit request has not received any responses over the past 3 weeks (22 days in total).
• Discussion is often a key component to implementing edits, and requests may be adversely affected when they fail to garner input from either reviewing or requesting editors. In light of this — and as a safeguard — this request has been declined as needing more discussion.
• The COI editor is urged to revive stalled communications by making contact with local editors on those editor's own talk pages, and then by moving those discussions back to this talk page.
• The COI editor may also wish to broadcast requests for edits at the talk pages of the WikiProjects which govern this article. Those projects are usually listed at the top of an article's talk page.

Operations section addition

After recent feedback, I wanted to present editors with a diff of all the changes I plan on suggesting to improve this page. If you'd like to leave notes on the whole thing, feel free to leave feedback on this post or the draft's Talk page.

For now, I wanted to start off small with a proposal to add an Operations section. This includes content about the company, including leadership, company size, and functions/subsidiaries.

Operations
Executive leadership includes Jim Rechtin (CEO), Japan Mehta (chief information officer), and Celeste Mellet (chief financial officer). It is headquartered at the Humana Waterside and Clocktower in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.

Humana is the second-biggest Medicare Advantage insurer in the United States, as of 2025. It has both an insurance segment and pharmacy and primary care subsidiary called CenterWell.

Shimon Slavin

The 2017 suspension

I agree that this article has substantial room for improvement, and I can understand many of the recent edits. I'm here to help improving the article as a COI editor affiliated with the subject.

I would like to suggest a clarification to the lead and the recently added information about his license suspension. The Jerusalem Post source appears to support inclusion of the suspension and clinic closure. My concern is only that the subsequent restoration of the license does not appear to be reflected.

The current lead describes Slavin as a "former" Israeli physician, mentioning the suspension of his medical license in 2017. However, official Ministry of Health documentation shows that the suspension was for a defined period only and that license no. 8909 was indeed subsequently restored.

Therefore, I suggest that this is clarified in the lead completeness, neutrality and accuracy to something like the following:

Shimon Slavin (Hebrew: שמעון סלוין; born 17 May 1941) is an Israeli professor of medicine. Slavin served as the head of bone-marrow transplantation at Hadassah Medical Center until his retirement in 2007. He later started International Center for Cellular Medicine and Cancer Immunotherapy, a private clinic in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The clinic was ordered to shut down by the Israeli Ministry of Health in 2016, and in 2017, his medical license was suspended for six months and subsequently restored.

I hope this makes sense. I'll leave it to uninvolved editors to consider. I may be overlooking sources or context, so I would welcome other editors' views. Thanks. /Urbourbo (talk) 21:47, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

It's unclear why the license removal belongs in the lede at all, let alone the first sentence. That needs to be addressed. Primary sources generally deserve little or no weight, especially for BLP info. --Hipal (talk) 16:57, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

@Hipal Thanks for weighing in, fair point.

My immediate concern was that, if the suspension needs to be mentioned in the lead, its subsequent restoration appears relevant for completeness and accuracy. However, I agree that the more fundamental question may be whether the suspension belongs in the lead at all.

Pending that discussion, would it perhaps make sense to move the suggested suspension paragraph from the lead to a dedicated section further down in the article, to avoid giving undue prominence to the issue in the meantime?

Re the Ministry registry ref, I intended it only as verification of the straightforward fact that the license was subsequently restored, not for any broader interpretive purpose.

Thanks, /Urbourbo (talk) 11:26, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama

Proposed addition of sourced Alabama context to History section

I have a disclosed conflict of interest as a member/supporter of the Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama, so I am not editing the article directly. I am requesting review by uninvolved editors.

I am not asking to remove sourced criticism, federal-recognition information, or the opposition of federally recognized Cherokee tribes. I am requesting a limited addition of sourced historical and institutional context to the History section.

Proposed addition after the current History-section passage discussing the group’s 1980 organization, 1984 state recognition, and headquarters in Falkville:

“According to the Encyclopedia of Alabama, members of the group formally chose the name ‘Echota’ at a meeting in Opelika, Alabama, on March 16, 1980, and incorporation papers were drawn up at that meeting, making the group a legal entity with written bylaws and a mission statement. The same source states that the group supported the creation of the Alabama Indian Affairs Commission and gained state recognition through the Davis-Strong Act process in 1984. The Encyclopedia of Alabama also describes the group as maintaining a tribal office in Falkville, owning land in St. Clair and Cullman Counties, having a representative on the Alabama Indian Affairs Commission, and participating in Indian education programs related to Cherokee language, history, and culture.”

Reason for the change: This addition would not state disputed ancestry claims in Wikipedia’s voice and would not remove existing criticism or recognition-related controversy. It would add sourced institutional and historical context from a secondary Alabama reference source, including the 1980 organization meeting, incorporation, state-recognition context, AIAC representation, land/office information, and education-program activity.

Proposed revision to lead sentence and sourcing

I have a disclosed COI as a member of this tribe (see my user page), so I'm proposing this change rather than making it directly.

The article's opening sentence describes the tribe as a "Cherokee heritage group," cited to several sources that are now dead links and that originate from Cherokee Nation advocacy materials (lists of groups it deems fraudulent). Per WP:NPOV and WP:V, contested characterizations sourced to one party in a dispute shouldn't be stated in Wikipedia's voice, especially in the lead.

A scholarly source directly addresses this: Mark Edwin Miller, Claiming Tribal Identity: The Five Tribes and the Politics of Federal Acknowledgment (University of Oklahoma Press, 2013). Miller describes the Cherokee Nation's "Fraudulent Indian Task Force" as a campaign by the Cherokee Nation to publicly oppose groups its leaders considered fraudulent and to "reclaim from the government the 'pleasure of defining' themselves" (pp. 4–6, 22). Miller himself refers to the Echota Cherokee Tribe as one of the tribes recognized by the Alabama Indian Affairs Commission (p. 73) and as one of the original state-recognized tribes at the AIAC's creation in 1984 (p. 233), and does not include it among the groups discussed in his chapter on fraudulent-group claims.

I propose: 1. Opening sentence: "The Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama is a state-recognized tribe in Alabama," retaining the existing sourced material on state recognition under the 1984 Davis-Strong Act. 2. The federally recognized Cherokee tribes' opposition moved from the opening sentence to a "Recognition status" section, presented as an attributed dispute per NPOV, citing Miller: [proposed text below]

"The Cherokee Nation and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, the federally recognized Cherokee tribes, do not recognize state-recognized groups identifying as Cherokee. The Cherokee Nation created the Fraudulent Indian Task Force, which historian Mark Edwin Miller describes as an effort to publicly campaign against groups its leaders considered fraudulent and to 'reclaim from the government the "pleasure of defining" themselves.'"

If there are no objections I'll implement this in about a week. Comments welcome. BrownTown779 (talk) 15:52, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Thomas Duff (businessman)

Minor update proposals and additional sourcing (2025)

Hi, I’m posting here as a contributor with a declared conflict of interest. Frontier Strategies asked me to suggest a few factual updates and improved sourcing for this article.

Could an experienced and independent editor please review my proposed updates?

** Start of proposals **

Proposal (1)

Replace the last sentence of the lead section:

“With a net worth of $3.3 billion, the Duff brothers are the wealthiest individuals in Mississippi.”

with:

“With respective net worths of $4.1 billion each, the Duff brothers are the wealthiest individuals in Mississippi.”

Proposal (2)

Replace the penultimate sentence of the first paragraph of the “Career” section:

“By 2023, Southern Tire Mart's revenues had grown to exceed $3.5 billion, making it the nation's largest truck tire dealer and retread manufacturer.”

with:

“By 2025, Southern Tire Mart's revenues had grown to exceed $4 billion, making it the nation's largest truck tire dealer and retread manufacturer.”

Proposal (3)

Replace the first sentence of the second paragraph of the “Career” section:

“James and Thomas co-founded Duff Capital Investors, a holding company with revenues of $5.5 billion.”

with:

“Thomas Duff and his brother James co-founded Duff Capital Investors, a holding company with revenues of $6 billion.”

Proposal (4)

Replace the second-to-last sentence of the final paragraph of the “Career” section (in bold):

“Since 2009, the brothers have been the only members of the Forbes 400 list from Mississippi. However, the Duffs did not make the 2024 list, despite having a net worth of $3.3 billion. Together, they remain the wealthiest individuals in Mississippi.”

with:

Since 2009, the brothers have been the only members of the Forbes 400 list from Mississippi. After being absent from the 2024 Forbes list, the Duffs reappeared in 2025, ranking No. 362 in the U.S. and No. 980 globally. Together, they remain the wealthiest individuals in Mississippi.

Proposal (5)

Integrate the information contained in the third sentence of the “Politics” section:

“He supported Jeb Bush in the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries.”

into the first paragraph of that same section, with the addition of new information:

“A major contributor to Republican campaigns in Mississippi, Duff has supported Republican figures such as Governor Tate Reeves, to whose campaigns he has contributed regularly since 2011, as well as Jeb Bush in the 2016 presidential primaries, and Donald Trump in the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections.”

** End of proposals **

Do these proposals seem like improvements? May I go ahead and implement them? Thank you for your time and consideration. Toometa (talk) 10:02, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Partly done: I've done all the changes, but I did reword or change the formatting of sentences. Kline • talk • contribs 17:03, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much ! This looks great. While I’m here, I wanted to mention that I made the exact same proposals as numbers 1, 2, and 3 (the simpler ones) about twenty days ago on the page for his brother, James Duff. Would you be willing to take a look at those as well? Alternatively, I can handle it myself with your approval, referring back to this discussion. Thanks in advance! Toometa (talk) 21:10, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Request regarding sourcing and wording in the Politics section (June 2026)

Hi, I’m posting here as a contributor with a declared conflict of interest. I previously submitted a separate request on this talk page that has already been reviewed.

I would like to request removal of the following three sentences from the Politics section (three last sentences):

Duff voted to hire a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) director at the University of Mississippi. During his tenure the University of Mississippi also established a clinic to provide gender-affirming care to LGBTQ minors. During the pandemic, Duff voted to require university employees receive the COVID vaccine before they were allowed to return to work.

My rationale is that the cited Mississippi Today article does not appear to support the factual assertions currently made by these sentences.

Specifically:

1. The article does not state that Duff "voted to hire a DEI director". Rather, it states that the University of Mississippi requested creation of a Division of Diversity and Community Engagement and that the Board approved it.
2. The article states that the UMMC LGBTQ clinic was created in 2019, but it also explicitly states that an IHL Board vote was not required for its creation.
3. Regarding COVID vaccination requirements, the article states that the Board initially voted against a system-wide mandate and later acted in response to federal contractor requirements following a Biden executive order.

My concern is therefore not with the reliability of the source itself, but with how the source has been summarized in the article.

For that reason, I respectfully request removal of the three sentences above unless additional sources can be provided that explicitly support the specific factual assertions currently made in the article.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Toometa (talk) 08:33, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
