USA Sports (2025–present)

PGA of America extension and Firethorn Productions venture

COI Disclosure: I work with Versant and am not editing directly per WP:COI guidelines.

Two developments related to USA Sports' golf portfolio that have third-party coverage:

1. PGA of America media rights extension through 2033: NBC Sports and USA Sports extended their media rights agreement with the PGA of America through 2033. The deal covers the Ryder Cup, KPMG Women's PGA Championship, Senior PGA Championship, and PGA Professional Championship, with coverage airing across USA Network, Golf Channel, NBC, and Peacock. This is the second major golf rights partnership struck between NBC Sports and Versant since the spin-off.

Front Office Sports: "PGA of America Extends Ryder Cup Deal With NBC and Versant" Sportcal: "NBC Sports, Versant, retain US Ryder Cup rights in PGA of America extension"

2. Firethorn Productions: In December 2025, Versant and Rory McIlroy launched Firethorn Productions — described as Versant's first-ever joint venture. The company will produce original content across GolfPass, Golf Channel, and other Versant properties, including documentary storytelling, branded campaigns, and live fan experiences. McIlroy's GolfPass partnership was also extended through 2038.

The Hollywood Reporter: "Rory McIlroy and Versant Are Launching a Production Company" Sports Video Group: "Versant Announces Long-Term Partnership Extension with Rory McIlroy"

The article currently covers the PGA Tour and Golf Channel rights in the Current rights section. Would editors consider whether these developments warrant inclusion? WeekdayUpdate (talk) 03:32, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Reply 9-JUN-2026

  Clarification requested  

1. N The proposed text regarding the PGA deal appears to contain WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE material. The text is short, just 3 sentences long, however, the text still needs to be sufficiently variegated so that it adheres to our guidelines on close paraphrasing.
2. Y The proposed text concerning Firethorn Productions can be added if that company is independently notable in Wikipedia. Please provide the H:WIKILINK for the company to proceed.
3. When ready, kindly change {{Edit COI}} answer parameter to read from |ans=y to |ans=n.

Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  15:00, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, Spintendo. To address the WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE concern on item 1, here is fully reworded text for the PGA of America extension, drawing on the two independent trade reports. I'm advancing only this item for now; the Firethorn Productions item (your point 2) remains on hold while I work out the WP:N notability question you raised, so please disregard it in this pass.

Proposed addition to the Overview section:

In March 2026, the PGA of America renewed its United States media-rights partnership with NBC Sports and USA Sports, carrying forward through 2033 an arrangement that had previously been set to conclude in 2031. The renewal keeps the biennial Ryder Cup as its anchor event and also spans the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, the Senior PGA Championship and the PGA Professional Championship, with telecasts distributed across USA Network, Golf Channel, NBC and Peacock; the men's PGA Championship is not part of the agreement, as those rights are held separately by CBS and ESPN. As a result of the extension, the 2033 Ryder Cup at the Olympic Club in San Francisco will fall under USA Sports and NBC Sports coverage. It was the second golf renewal the partners completed following Versant's spin-off, after an August 2025 USGA agreement that runs through 2032.

I've updated the section's edit-request template to |ans=n per your note. Thank you! WeekdayUpdate (talk) 01:21, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Current rights: add Olympics and DP World Tour; correct WNBA citation

COI Disclosure: I work with Versant and am not editing directly per WP:COI guidelines.

Would an editor consider three small updates to bring the Current rights list into line with the article's own infobox and Overview? Each of these includes independently sourced citations:

1. Add the 2026 Winter Olympics. The Olympics appear in the infobox and are described in the Overview, but are absent from the Current rights list.

Proposed (add bullet): * 2026 Winter Olympics (2026) — NBC Sports–produced coverage of the Milan Cortina Games on USA Network and CNBC, sublicensed from NBC Sports

2. Add the DP World Tour. It is named among the golf properties in the November 12, 2025 launch announcement in the Overview, but is missing from the list. Front Office Sports reports the deal was extended through 2030.

Proposed (add bullet): * DP World Tour (2026–present) — coverage on Golf Channel through 2030

3. Correct the WNBA citation. The Women's National Basketball Association entry currently cites a Sports Video Group article about the League One Volleyball (LOVB) deal — not the WNBA. The correct source is the Deadline report already used in the Overview.

Proposed: repoint the WNBA entry's citation to:

(Note: the same name=SVG reference is also attached to the Babe Ruth League "U.S., International and World Championship on CNBC" line, where it likewise doesn't match; editors may wish to repoint that to the Sports Business Journal source already cited on the Babe Ruth entry.)

Thank you for considering these.

Request to update career and discography

I have a conflict of interest because I am the subject of this article. I am requesting review from an uninvolved editor.

Suggested changes:

1. In the “Career” section, after the sentence about Earmilk covering “Fun For You”, please add:

In 2022, Kotar released 12 Months, a project structured around one song for each month of the year. The project was described by musicto as “a musical version of the calendar,” with each song named and themed after a month.

Suggested source: https://www.musicto.com/news/in-the-spotlight/in-the-spotlight-anja-kotar/

2. In the same section, please add:

In 2023, Kotar released the album Hopeless Romantic.

  WikiLinks are missing  

• Your proposed text appears to be missing key H:WIKILINKs which may help to facilitate a reader's understanding of the subject matter.

Whenever writing or editing an article, it's important to consider not only what to put in the article, but also what links to include to help the reader find related information. Official guidance for the use of links is to avoid both underlinking and overlinking.
• To save time, please feel free to place these WikiLinks in the text already submitted above, rather than re-writing an entirely new draft; unless there are glaring absences, in which case it might be prudent to reconsider referring to that particular term.

  Unable to review  

• Your edit request could not be reviewed because it is unclear which references are connected to which claim statements in the text of your proposal. When proposing edit requests it is important to highlight in the text, through the use of ref tags, which specific sources are doing the referencing for each claim. The point of these inline ref tags is to allow the reviewer and readers to check that the material is sourced; that point will be lost if the ref tags are not clearly placed. Note the examples below:

Examples

N  INCORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.

References

---

      1. Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2019, p. 1.
      2. Harinath, Paramjit. (2019) "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46.
      3. Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2019, p. 2.

In the first example above there are three references provided, but the claim statements do not contain ref tags indicating which reference applies where. The references instead have been placed outside of the text, bundled together towards the bottom. Your edit request similarly bundles references together outside of the area of the requested text. These links between material and their source references must be more clearly made, as shown in the next example below:

Y  CORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,<ref>{{cite book|no-tracking=true|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=1}}</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|no-tracking=true|last1=Harinath|first1=Prisha|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2020|page=46}}</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.<ref>{{cite book|no-tracking=true|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=2}}</ref>

Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.

• In the second example above, the links between the provided references and their claim statement ref tags are perfectly clear. Kindly reformulate your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for the guidance. I have revised the proposed text above to include inline ref tags showing which sources support each claim. Please feel free to edit the wording if necessary for neutrality, style, or due weight. RavenFireblade (talk) 14:24, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Nouria Hernandez

Request for page update

Hello, I work for the University of Lausanne, and Nouria Hernandez is a former rector and professor of this institution. I have updated a few dead or incorrect links in sources, but would rather go through the "requested edits" for other proposed changes, due to the COI.

First of all, in the "Life and career" section, I wanted to add the following sentence:

In 2023, she received a honorary Doctor of Science degree from the Cold Spring Harbor School of Biological Sciences, and in 2025, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

In addition to adding these two facts, this provides a new source, the biographical information from the website of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, which confirms some of the information already provided in the article. There are more sources available (although mostly in French, which you can see in the French language article); I wanted to check which facts would require additional/better citations (which I will happily look into) ?

My other request is about adding a paragraph about what her research was about, which could either go directly into the "Life and carreer" section, or in a "Research" subsection:

Her research work has focused on the regulation of gene expression in mammals.

During her PhD, she used an in vitro system to show that the Precursor mRNA splicing reaction could be separated from transcription. Afterwards, she worked on the transcription of the U small nuclear RNAs, which are involved in several cellular processes including Precursor mRNA splicing. This work showed that RNA polymerase II and RNA polymerase III transcription depends on several common transcription factors.

She later worked on the enzyme RNA polymerase III and its effect on transcription in mice when it is deregulated. This led to the discovery of links between RNA polymerase III transcription and the regulation of growth and metabolism, in particular lipid metabolism.

I have added one general reference (the one from the American Academy of Sciences) in the first paragraph describing her research in general, and then 1-2 scientific references for each of the three parts of her career (trying to source everything without adding too many notes).

Let me know if there is something to change/improve !

Many thanks in advance, BooksWithTea (talk) 13:45, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

History Section Request 5

Hi there and thank you once again Dormskirk for your continued feedback.

My next request involves adding details related to notable acquisitions/partnerships covering the period 2022 to present. These cover:

• Partnerships in Saudi Arabia and Dubai.

• Acquisition of Winsight.

How it would appear:

Proposed Changes

It also sold Lloyd's List and EPFR to Montagu Private Equity in 2022.

In November 2022, Informa launched a joint venture, Tahaluf, partnered with the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones (SAFCSP). In July 2023, Saudi Arabia's Events Investment Fund acquired a stake in Tahaluf.

In March 2023, in a cash and shares deal, Informa acquired the Irish Tarsus Group from Charterhouse Capital Partners for a reported GBP 790m.

In May 2023, Informa acquired catering industry events and media group Winsight.

In January 2024, Informa announced that it would merge the digital business of Informa Tech with TechTarget. The resulting company would keep the TechTarget name with Informa holding 57% stake and the existing TechTarget shareholders holding 43% stake in the merged TechTarget. The merger was completed with the business became Informa TechTarget in December 2024.

In June 2024, Informa closed two UK-based titles: Digital TV Europe and Television Business International.

In July 2024, the company reached a deal to acquire media and events company Ascential for approximately £1.2 billion. The transaction was completed in October 2024.

In January 2026, Informa confirmed its partnership agreement with Dubai World Trade Centre creating a new business inD.

  H:WIKILINKs requested  

1. Additional meaningfulness would be brought to the reader by having knowledge that these other associations—Tahaluf, Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones, Saudi Arabia's Events Investment Fund, Digital TV Europe, Television Business International and Dubai World Trade Center—are independently notable in Wikipedia. Without such knowledge, its inclusion here runs the risk of raising issues related to WP:COATRACK and WP:CHERRY.
2. To assuage those concerns, kindly provide the H:WIKILINKs for Tahaluf, Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones, Saudi Arabia's Events Investment Fund, Digital TV Europe, Television Business International and Dubai World Trade Center.

Point72 Asset Management

Straightforward updates to the article

I understand from the previous discussion that I need to do some further research to explain the differences between SAC and Point72 for Wikipedia. In the meantime, I'd like to bring attention to the more straightforward and well-sourced recommendations from the previous request to update the Point72 article. Additions are italicized.

• In the lead, add that Point72 was founded in 2014 by Steve Cohen as a family office.
• Rename the "History" section as "Background and History" to provide further context to the founding of Point72.
• In the first paragraph of the History section, expand the sentence about Point72's efforts to develop their legal and compliance teams:

Point72 also took measures to develop its legal and compliance departments, including hiring Vincent Tortorella as chief compliance and surveillance officer, and Kevin J. O'Connor (attorney) as in-house attorney. Tortorella's compliance team included former CIA, FBI and SEC personnel.

• In the second paragraph of the History section, edit the last sentence to read:
  • That same year, the firm started Point72 Ventures, a venture capital unit. Initially, Point72 Ventures focused on fintech startups before shifting focus to additional sectors such as investing in AI and defense technology startups.
• After the second paragraph of the 2020-present section, and a new paragraph:

Point72 also has the “Nines” program which was renamed LaunchPoint in 2020. It trains portfolio managers to create a business plan and investing strategy, and build a team. As of 2023, 50% of Point72's long/short managers were from LaunchPoint.

I am pinging the most recent editors who chimed in above, STEMinfo and Spintendo, to review this updated request. Thank you. Mrsnewyork (talk) 15:52, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Responding to ping. I'm still not convinced that SAC shouldn't be renamed to Point 72 and the content of this article merged into the newly renamed article. SAC's assets were all moved into Point72, regardless of the legal gymnastics designed to make Point72 appear to be a completely new entity. The WSJ says Point 72 was formerly known as SAC, and then executives were all replaced to give the company a fresh start. But it's still the same history. I don't want to be doing any whitewashing so I'll let others more familiar with the company's history address this request. STEMinfo (talk) 00:21, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

As this request doesn't touch on the larger conversation about the relationship between SAC and Point72, and I think it's important to update the Point72 content here, I'd still appreciate an editor vet this request. With approval, I'm happy to add the content to the article myself if that is easiest. Mrsnewyork (talk) 13:19, 1 July 2026 (UTC): Note:

Updating Financial history table

Hi, again! My next request, which concerns the Financial history section, is a fairly simple one. The existing table currently ends in 2022, so I’d like to update it to include financial and employee figures for 2023, 2024, and 2025. I’ve put together an updated version using eBay’s 10-K filings for each year (to stay consistent with the references in the rest of the table). I also provided new citations for 2021 and 2022 to link to the correct 10-K for these years. Everything else in the table is exactly the same as it is in the article now.

  When you say "collapse," do you mean readers would be able to expand or hide the table contents? If so, I think that's a great idea. It'd definitely help save space on the page.

Removing Weird Al sentence from top of article

Hello again! I wanted to ask editors to consider removing the sentence that reads "For the song by 'Weird Al' Yankovic, see Poodle Hat" from the top of this article. I'm not sure how many people ostensibly looking for the eBay Wikipedia page are actually looking for a 2003 Weird Al single that doesn't have an article of its own. Keeping or removing that sentence is probably a judgment call more than anything else, but to strengthen my case a touch: Weird Al released a parody song called "Spam," a riff on REM's "Stand," in 1989. (See: UHF – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and Other Stuff.) There is no mention of that song at the top of the Spam page; instead it's covered in a section titled Continued cultural presence.

I feel a bit silly placing a formal request for this, but it's not unimportant. Thanks! JN at Axicom (talk) 21:39, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

eBay and its representatives do not get to make requests like this; this is not a factual addition or correction. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 22:07, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Nazia Mintz Habib

Edit request

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

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

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

Thanks in advance for any help! MartinPoulter (talk) 16:21, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

New York Power Authority

Please update introduction numbers

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 am hoping editors can update figures in the article introduction.

The second sentence of this article states that the NYPA operates "16 generating facilities and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines." I'm not sure when these numbers were added to the article, but they are no longer accurate. The NYPA now operates 17 generating facilities and more than 1,550 circuit-miles of transmission lines.

These numbers are confirmed on the NYPA website. You can also find them mentioned in news coverage, such as this article from Bond Buyer and this article from pv magazine.

Can the introduction be updated with these new, accurate numbers? TN NYPA (talk) 18:26, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Possible to update organization section?

I'm here on NYPA's behalf to make a request about updating the first section of this article, Organization, which summarizes NYPA's leadership, staff, governing structure, and other organizational details. If I'm reading the article's edit history correctly, this section was added back in 2018 but has received only minor updates since then, and some of the content is quite outdated. The section is also less detailed than the organizational & governing structure recaps for similar state-run utility articles on Wikipedia, e.g. LADWP, Salt River Project, CPS Energy, Santee Cooper, etc.

Following those examples, I drafted an expanded Organization section that is more accurate and comprehensive:

Revamped Organization section

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is a New York State public-benefit corporation, governed by a seven‑member board of trustees with a CEO-led management team. The Board of Trustees is appointed by the governor of New York with the advice and consent of the State Senate.

Trustees serve five‑year terms and typically sit on standing committees, including Audit, Governance, Finance, and Risk and Resiliency. Each committee comprises at least three independent board members with relevant expertise.

As of 2026, the Board of Trustees consists of the following members:

• John R. Koelmel (Chair)
• Michael J. Cusick
• Bethaida González
• Cecily L. Morris
• Dennis G. Trainor
• Lewis M. Warren, Jr.
• Laurie Wheelock

NYPA also interacts with specialized allocation or advisory boards such as the Northern New York Power Proceeds Allocation Board, whose members are appointed under separate statutory criteria but tied to NYPA power proceeds, which are funds generated from the sale of unused hydropower from NYPA's Niagara and St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt power projects.

Day‑to‑day operations are run by a president and chief executive officer who reports to the board. As of 2026, Justin E. Driscoll is president and CEO.

The New York Power Authority also oversees specialized subsidiaries. NYPA owns the New York State Canal Corporation, a separate public-benefit corporation responsible for operating and maintaining the state’s canal system. NYPA became financially responsible in 2016 and the owner as of January 1, 2017. Another subsidiary, the New York Renewable Energy Development Holdings Corporation, was established following the approval of the 2023-24 New York enacted state budget to develop, construct, and operate new renewable energy projects. The NYPA Insurance Company was established in 2023 to provide coverage for risks that are not insured or are prohibitively expensive.

References

I don't know how important this is, but the top of the talk page says that this article is "rated Start-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale." I would hope that a more detailed treatment of NYPA's legal form and mandate, board of trustees, executive and management structure, and specialized subsidiaries would help improve that rating! I am hoping that Johnjbarton, CRGreathouse, FloridaArmy, or other editors who have updated the article recently can take a look at what I've put together. TN NYPA (talk) 15:39, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

I put that content in, minus the insurance subsidiary which was not properly sourced in my opinion. Johnjbarton (talk) 20:25, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

COI Edit Request (Revised)

I am making this paid edit request on behalf of Pearl.com. This request is a revision of a previously declined request. I have reduced the number of citations throughout the proposed text and retained only the sources supporting each statement.

The Intercept

COI edit requests for History

Hi! I'm a COI editor for The Intercept through my employer, Porter Novelli. I have a series of updates to request for this article, so I'm breaking them up into more manageable chunks – starting with the "History" section below.

• Add after first paragraph of "History":

A Brazilian version of the site, The Intercept Brasil, launched in August 2016. The site featured both original reporting in Portuguese as well as features from the main Intercept site translated into Portuguese. The newsrooms for The Intercept and its Brazilian counterpart were editorially independent. In 2019, The Intercept Brasil published Vaza Jato ("Car Wash Leaks"), messages demonstrating collaboration on illegal acts among former judge Sergio Moro, prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol, and others as part of Operation Car Wash. The Intercept Brasil spun off as as an independent organization in October 2022.

• Update

In January 2023 it spun off from the First Look Institute as an independent nonprofit organization.

to

In January 2023 it spun off from the First Look Institute (the nonprofit arm of First Look Media) as an independent nonprofit organization.

• Add after "In January 2023 it spun off from the First Look Institute as an independent nonprofit organization.":

Reporting from The Intercept exposed significant sourcing issues with the influential December 2023 New York Times article "Screams Without Words", which alleged that Hamas perpetrated systematic sexual violence during the October 7 attacks. The investigation demonstrated how two inexperienced freelancers in Israel had done the majority of reporting work for the New York Times story, raising concerns about its editorial process and credibility. In follow-up reporting, The Intercept confirmed that The New York Times had withheld an episode of its podcast The Daily related to "Screams Without Words" due to internal debate about the veracity of the publication's original reporting. In February 2024, The New York Times began an internal investigation into the source of leaks to The Intercept.

• Update

In June 2024, the unionized staff of The Intercept made several demands to the group's board of directors, including "the immediate dismissal and termination of CEO Annie Chabel and Chief Strategy Officer Sumi Aggarwal, a commitment to restructure the business, and transparency about the board's recent discussions with prospective donors." In July 2024, after unsuccessfully asking the organization's board of directors if they could take over the organization, Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim left The Intercept to found their own news website, Drop Site News.

to

In June 2024, the unionized staff of The Intercept asked the group's board of directors to terminate the organization's CEO Annie Chabel and Chief Strategy Officer Sumi Aggarwal, commit to restructuring the business, and provide transparency into conversations with donors. The next month, Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim left The Intercept to found their own news website, Drop Site News, with some funding at launch from The Intercept. The Intercept continued to publish the Intercepted and Deconstructed podcasts.

Reworked the first sentence to avoid the quotation, which implies it comes from the letter but in fact comes from the Semafor source. It seems to me inappropriate to cite Drop Site News for a sentence on Drop Site News, and the original cited source does not verify the first half of the second sentence.

• Add to end of section:

In February 2024, The Intercept filed a lawsuit against OpenAI regarding the unauthorized use of journalists' work to train ChatGPT. The lawsuit focused on a provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) not previously explored in the legal disputes between news organizations and AI companies. One year later, a federal court upheld part of the suit and overruled OpenAI's attempt to dismiss the case, though claims against Microsoft were dismissed. The ruling demonstrated that the DMCA can provide protections for news organizations against AI companies' unauthorized use of digital content, regardless of whether that content has been registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.

In February 2025, The Intercept published Elon Musk’s government email address, which had not been previously reported, and filed more than a dozen related Freedom of Information Act requests. The Intercept reported on a bill introduced in September 2025 that would give the Secretary of State power to revoke the passport of a U.S. citizen based on their beliefs or speech. Within days, public outrage led Rep. Brian Mast, who had introduced the bill, to backtrack on the proposal. That same month, The Intercept was the first news organization to report that the U.S. attacked an alleged drug boat multiple times, known as a double tap strike, in order to kill survivors of its first attack. In November 2025, The Intercept reported that in response to U.S. Department of State sanctions, YouTube had deleted more than 700 videos from three major Palestinian human rights organizations documenting alleged human rights violations by Israel.

In late 2025, The Intercept was among the first outlets to detail the case of a retired police officer in Tennessee who was jailed for more than a month because of a meme he posted on Facebook in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. An investigation by The Intercept found no evidence that anyone in the public had expressed concern about danger in response to the meme, contradicting the claims of the county sheriff whose office arrested the man. The story drew widespread attention; within a week, the man was released and charges were dropped.

In March 2026, NYC Health + Hospitals canceled a contract with Palantir following reporting from The Intercept sharing details of the contract and showing almost $4 million in payments since November 2023.

• Break this section into two subsections: "2014–2022: Founding, early years, and The Intercept Brasil" for the first two paragraphs, and "2023–present: Independent organization" for the remainder.

COI edit requests for Activities/Edward Snowden archives

Hi again! As noted above, I'm a COI editor for The Intercept through my employer Porter Novelli, sharing requests for this article piecemeal to facilitate review. Today I'm just sharing a few requests, primarily for the "Edward Snowden archives" section of "Activities":

• I think it would make sense to move the entire "Activities" section above "Finances" in the article, based on what I'm seeing in other articles about news organizations.

• Update "Edward Snowden archives" subsection title to "Edward Snowden reporting and archives".

• Add to beginning of "Edward Snowden archives" section:

In its early years, The Intercept published extensive investigations on the Snowden disclosures' revelations about surveillance activity in the U.S. and globally. In March 2014, Der Spiegel and The Intercept jointly reported on a list of world leaders, including German chancellor Angela Merkel, subject to U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance. Five months later, The Intercept shared details on ICREACH, the NSA's search engine giving access to hundreds of millions of records about both American citizens and non-Americans to 23 U.S. governmental agencies, including the CIA and FBI.

In July 2014, The Intercept reported how the British spy agency Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) was covertly manipulating internet content and activity with tactics like artificially increasing website traffic and interfering with online polls. The Intercept also alleged that GCHQ used Regin malware in cyberattacks on Belgacom and other EU computer systems. In February 2015, The Intercept reported that the NSA and GCHQ had hacked French-Dutch digital security company Gemalto in order to surveil calls and data secretly, an apparent violation of international law. A follow-up in June 2015 detailed how GCHQ's Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group worked to discredit specific targets online through the use of impersonation, fake websites, YouTube videos, and other tools. A story in September 2015 covered Karma Police, GCHQ's surveillance program established seven years earlier to record the search, browsing, and chat activities of every internet user with the goal of identifying patterns and relationships rather than targeting specific users.

COI edit requests for Podcasts

Hi! As I mentioned above, I'm a COI editor for The Intercept proposing a series of updates to this article. Today I'm sharing some new proposed subsections to be added after Deconstructed in the "Podcasts" section of the article:

Extended content

Murderville

Murderville is an investigative true crime podcast hosted by The Intercept journalists Liliana Segura and Jordan Smith. Season one, released in 2018, covered the 1998 murder of Donna Brown in Adel, Georgia, and the subsequent conviction and sentencing of Devonia Inman, who maintained his innocence. New DNA evidence and claims that police pressured or coerced three of the four criminal witnesses led to Inman's exoneration in 2021. The judge also found that prosecutors had withheld evidence, including DNA and witness testimony, supporting Inman's claims of innocence.

Season two focused on the 1992 murder of Edna Franklin in Texas and the conviction of Charles Raby, who was sentenced to death for the crime in 1994 despite a lack of physical evidence. Its first episode was released in February 2022. The season uses the specifics of one case to inform a broader critique of capital punishment in the U.S.

Somebody

Main article: Somebody

Somebody is a seven-part investigative podcast about what happened to Courtney Copeland, a gunshot victim who died after being found outside a Chicago Police station. Copeland's mother, Shapearl Wells, narrates the podcast, released in 2020. At the 2020 Scripps Howard Awards, Somebody won the top prize for Excellence in Radio/Podcast Coverage. Adweek named Wells the best podcast host of 2020, and the Third Coast International Audio Festival named Somebody as the year's "Best Serialized Story". In 2021, the series, produced in conjunction with Topic Studios and the Invisible Institute, was a Pulitzer Prize for Audio Reporting finalist.

American ISIS

Journalist Trevor Aaronson hosted American ISIS, an eight-part documentary podcast about the life of Russell Dennison, an American convert to Islam who fought for the Islamic State, dying in 2019. The podcast features audio Dennison secretly recorded and sent to Aaronson over a period of six months in 2018. Released in 2021, American ISIS uses Dennison's story as a starting point to explore how ISIS functioned in Syria.

The Intercept Briefing

Debuting in November 2024, The Intercept Briefing is a weekly podcast sharing reporting and analysis. It was nominated for a 2026 Webby Award in the "News & Politics" category.

@Spintendo: Hi! Thanks for your feedback and help. Can you please help me understand why the independent RS coverage cited doesn't demonstrate the independent notability of the other podcasts? Mary Gaulke (talk) 12:51, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

@Spintendo Notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article. Seems you're mis-applying it. The notability guideline does not determine the content of articles. RememberOrwell (talk) 05:17, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm not mistaken in that the section is mentioning notable podcasts. I would think only notable podcasts would need to be placed there, otherwise, we open the door to listing any podcast. Content requirements demand independent reliable WP:SS WP:SECONDARY sources. When the proposed reference includes a trailer for the podcast and a 2 minute clip to the podcast (as mrt.com does, with the clip provided through a widget on their website provided by Everlit Media) raises sincere questions regarding how independent they are, why they're running the story, and what—if any—renumeration are they receiving. We can't know any of that for sure, but we can err on the side of caution and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Regards,  Spintendo  02:28, 24 June 2026 (UTC) and 00:55, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

I agree with Spintendo here. Marquardtika (talk) 16:34, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

The section in the article is mentioning podcasts. There's no dispute on that. But "Notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article" and The notability guideline does not determine the content of articles" are facts. How is it appropriate to flaunt that advice? "The other podcasts were not added because they are not independently notable in Wikipedia" seems strongly in conflict with those facts about PAG.

What is "Content requirements demand independent reliable WP:SS." supposed to mean? Wikipedia:Summary style is relevant how? Odd that Marquardtika agrees with comments that don't make sense, and provides no argument. Gives off puppetry/cabal vibes. I don't have a COI, but I'm reopening it for others to consider. RememberOrwell (talk) 23:04, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

"Gives off puppetry/cabal vibes" excuse me? Have a dose of AGF. This article actually has a disclosed paid editor working on it, MaryGaulke, so it highly reasonable that other editors weigh in here to ensure the article stays encyclopedic and non-promotional. It only makes sense to list notable podcasts (notable being podcasts that are mentioned in reliable sources independent of the article subject). We're not their website per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. WP:NOTPROMO is relevant. The test for whether something is worth mentioning is "is it covered in sources not connected with the subject?" So yes, include podcasts that meet this test, but don't include podcasts that don't. Marquardtika (talk) 16:22, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Well, "is it covered in a source not connected with the subject?" seems reasonable to me. Though the claim that The test for whether something is worth mentioning is "is it covered in sources not connected with the subject?" sources to Bawolff, not a PAG I can find. Demanding they meet the notability standards that would need to be be met for them to have their own article certainly was NOT. Which "The other podcasts were not added because they are not independently notable in Wikipedia" and " I would think only notable podcasts would need to be placed there" did. As Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid on discussion pages#Per others points out, "I agree" is not an argument and to be avoided. We're not their website per WP:NOTDIRECTORY -agreed. WP:NOTPROMO is relevant. Yes. Seems to me including the podcasts not covered in a source not connected with the subject by name only is reasonable. How 'bout that? Which is (... takes a look at the citations...) none of them, as they all seem to meet even your high "is it covered in sources not connected with the subject?" bar. You're saying not even 2 of Murderville's 6 citations are independent? Really? Evidence? RememberOrwell (talk) 02:32, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

MaryGaulke was asking to add newsworthy anouncements about these podcasts, referenced by the news sources which announced them. Per WP:NOTNEWS, Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. Most newsworthy announcements do not qualify for inclusion, as routine news coverage is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage. That is why, to allow for inclusion of this information in the article, I ask COI editors to establish the notability of the subjects being mentioned.  Spintendo  00:49, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Mitchell Englander

Requested factual corrections (conflict of interest disclosed)

Conflict of interest disclosure: I am Mitchell Englander, the subject of this article. I have a conflict of interest and am not editing the article directly. I am requesting the following changes on this Talk page so that uninvolved editors can review them. Each is sourced. I have kept all of the accurate details of the conviction in place; my concern is precision and compliance with WP:BLP and WP:NPOV.

Change A: Escort services (BLP accuracy). The article lists "escort services" among the things received in Las Vegas: "...attended and received hotel rooms, VIP hotel amenities, casino chips (at least some of which were returned), limo rides, escort services, a $2,400 dinner, and a $34,000 visit to a nightclub." This states as fact something the record does not establish. In the plea agreement factual basis, the admitted fact is that escort services were offered (Attachment A, paragraph 8: "had been offered escort services"), and paragraph 5 states that "Businessperson A was unaware if [Englander] accepted those services." The U.S. Attorney's sentencing press release states only that an escort was "instructed to go to Englander's room," not that any services were received. Per WP:BLP, contentious claims must be stated accurately. Requested fix: describe the escorts as offered and arranged, with one directed to the hotel room, and note that the record does not establish acceptance.

Change B: Characterization of the charges and conviction (precision). Two places describe this as a corruption or bribery matter. The lead says he "was subsequently indicted on corruption charges," and the conviction section is headed "Corruption conviction." The conviction was on one count of scheming to falsify material facts (18 U.S.C. § 1001); the remaining six counts were dismissed, and Englander was never charged with bribery. At sentencing the judge stated there was no evidence of a "pay-to-play" scheme. The offense of conviction is a false-statements and obstruction offense, not a corruption or bribery offense. The U.S. Department of Justice's own release is titled "Scheming to Obstruct Corruption Probe", and its charging release is titled "Obstructing Public Corruption Probe, Making False Statements". Requested fix: in the lead, describe the charges as obstruction of a public corruption investigation and making false statements (the probe context is accurate and should be retained); and retitle the section to something accurate such as "Federal indictment and conviction" or "Obstruction conviction". I defer to editors on exact wording, but ask that the heading and lead not characterize the conviction as a corruption or bribery offense.

Change C: No bribery charge; abuse-of-position enhancement declined. At sentencing, Judge John F. Walter stated there was no evidence of bribery or a "pay-to-play" scheme, and the court declined to apply the sentencing enhancement for abuse of a position of public trust, finding the government had not shown the defendant used his official position to facilitate or conceal the offense (sentencing transcript, United States v. Englander, No. 2:20-cr-00035 (C.D. Cal.), Document 68). Requested fix: add this context, neutrally.

Change D: Date and detail corrections.

• Plea date in the lead reads "June 7, 2020". It was July 7, 2020 (consistent with the body of this same article and the cited Los Angeles Times report dated July 7, 2020).
• Sentencing date reads "January 26, 2021". Sentencing occurred on January 25, 2021 (U.S. Department of Justice press release dated January 25, 2021; the case was terminated January 25, 2021).
• Casino chips: per the factual basis, the chips were returned after gambling, not merely "at least some".
• Dinner figure: the group dinner was about $2,481 (factual basis and DOJ release), not $2,400.

I can provide fully drafted replacement wikitext for the lead paragraph and the conviction section, with citations, on request. I am happy to discuss any of this and to provide pinpoint citations to the court documents. Mitchell Englander (talk) 00:43, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

BPC-157

BPC-157 has 4 human studies done or registered

The article claims no human studies, but BPC-157 has at least 4 human studies done in the past and/or registered/ongoing. Data is bloody difficult to find however.

I found e.g. these:

Veljaca M, Pavic-Sladoljev D, Mildner B, et al. Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of PL 14736, a novel agent for treatment of ulcerative colitis, in healthy male volunteers. Gut 2003; 51: A309.

Ruenzi M, Stolte M, Veljaca M, Oreskovic K, Peterson J. A multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled phase II study of PL 14736 enema in the treatment of mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis. Gastroenterology 2005; 128: A584. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bstard12 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

I deleted the "no human studies" part as it clearly has human studies, at least 2 of them published, one of them (IBS study) even mentioned in title of ref 2, and I want to stop the spread of this popular piece of misinformation. I or someone should later add a comment and ref to said studies (above).--Bstard12 (talk) 11:59, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Tried to look into these references, and I don’t think they’re published papers. I think the former is an abstract from a talk at a Croatian conference. The latter only appears as a citation from another paper, and I can’t find it listed in the purported journal. My guess would be that the latter reference is also supposed to be citing an abstract to a conference talk, maybe to the same conference in a later year since the conference name references gastroenterology. There doesn’t appear to be any information about how the studies went online, at least in English, which is kind of suspicious. Hopefully there have been citable clinical studies since then Pabnau (talk) 17:38, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Could an uninvolved editor please review this request? I am proposing that the following External links section be added near the bottom of the article, after References, if it is considered appropriate under WP:EL and WP:ELNO:

Medes Islands

COI disclosure and external-link request (DiveCodex)

Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest. I added the sourced "Diving" section to this article, and I operate DiveCodex (divecodex.com), a dive-site reference website. Per WP:COI I am not adding my own site to the article myself.

Request: please add the following to the External links section, if editors judge it a useful resource

• (in English) Medes Islands dive area (DiveCodex)

If it is judged unsuitable, that is fine. Thank you. JouniKuisma (talk) 17:28, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

BITS Pilani

Proposal to expand the “Distance learning programmes (WILP)” section

Hello editors,

I would like to propose a neutral expansion of the existing “Distance learning programmes (WILP)” subsection in the BITS Pilani article. My earlier direct edit was reverted/deleted, so I am bringing the proposed change here for independent editor review instead of restoring it myself.

Disclosure: I may have a conflict of interest because I am working on improving publicly available information about BITS Pilani WILP. I will not edit the article directly and request independent editors to review, modify, accept, or reject the suggested wording.

Reason for the request: The current WILP section is very brief. BITS Pilani’s Work Integrated Learning Programmes appear to be a long-running academic offering, and a short neutral summary may improve the completeness of the “Academics” section without making the article promotional.

Suggested replacement text:

According to BITS Pilani, its Work Integrated Learning Programmes (WILP) were introduced in 1979 for employed professionals pursuing higher education while continuing full-time work. The programmes use a technology-enabled format that includes online lectures, recorded learning material, virtual or remote laboratory components, workplace-linked assignments, projects or dissertation work, and continuous assessment.

The institute lists WILP offerings across engineering, technology, management, analytics and related professional fields, including B.Tech., M.Tech., MBA, M.Sc., postgraduate diploma, postgraduate certificate and postgraduate programme formats. BITS Pilani states that, on the recommendation of the Empowered Expert Committee, the University Grants Commission approved the continued offering of these programmes at its 548th meeting held on 9 September 2020.

I have kept the proposed text short and avoided programme-by-programme promotional details. Editors may further shorten or modify the wording as needed to comply with Wikipedia’s neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies. Sanjaymonukr (talk) 10:31, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Disclosing per WP:PAID: I am employed by Spring Health.

1. Please update the company valuation in the infobox from "$2 billion" to "$3.3 billion."

2. Please add the following as the updated valuation figure: "$3.3 billion"

3. Using as the reference: Alice Park, "April Koh Is Using AI to Make Finding Mental Health Support Easier," TIME, September 30, 2025. https://time.com/7321471/april-koh-interview-time100-next/

4. Reason for change being made: The current infobox valuation of $2 billion reflects the Series C round from 2021. The company raised a Series E round in July 2024 at a valuation of $3.3 billion, as independently confirmed by TIME magazine in September 2025.

Edit request: Global reach — 200 countries

{{edit COI}}

Disclosing per WP:PAID: I am employed by Spring Health.

1. Please add that Spring Health operates in 200 countries to the lead section or infobox.

2. Please add the following sentence to the lead section:
"Spring Health is available in more than 200 countries through employers and health plans."

3. Using as the reference:
Alice Park, "April Koh Is Using AI to Make Finding Mental Health Support Easier," TIME, September 30, 2025. https://time.com/7321471/april-koh-interview-time100-next/

4. Reason for change being made:
The current article does not reflect Spring Health's global reach. TIME independently reported in September 2025 that Spring Health is available to people in 200 countries through employers and providers.

Edit request: Remove EAP characterization from services description (lead)

Disclosing per WP:PAID: I am employed by Spring Health.

1. Please remove the phrase "employee assistance programs" from the lead section description of Spring Health's services.

2. Please replace it with the following: "Spring Health connects members to therapy, coaching, medication management, and other mental health services, both online and in person."

3. Using as the reference: Amrita Khalid, "Spring Health," TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2026, TIME, April 2026. https://time.com/collection/time100-most-influential-companies/2026/spring-health/

4. Reason for change being made: The current description characterizes Spring Health as an employee assistance program provider, which does not accurately reflect the platform's services. TIME independently described Spring Health in April 2026 as "an employer-focused platform that connects patients to therapy, coaching, medication management, and other mental-health services, both online and in person."

Edit request: Alma acquisition close (History)

Disclosing per WP:PAID: I am employed by Spring Health.

1. Please update the existing sentence about the Alma acquisition in the History section to note that the acquisition closed on May 1, 2026.

2. Please replace the existing Alma sentence with the following: "In January 2026, Spring Health announced an agreement to acquire Alma, a platform with a network of 26,000 clinicians that helps independent mental health practitioners build in-network practices. The acquisition closed on May 1, 2026."

3. Using as the reference: Fred Pennic, "Spring Health Completes Acquisition of Alma to Expand Global Mental Health Network," HIT Consultant, May 1, 2026. https://hitconsultant.net/2026/05/01/spring-health-alma-acquisition-lifelong-mental-health/

4. Reason for change being made: The current article notes the January 2026 announcement but does not reflect that the acquisition closed. HIT Consultant independently reported the closing on May 1, 2026.

MyFitnessPal

Revised History request

Following feedback on my last History section draft, I'm back with a revised request featuring different sources for the same claims.

Per my summary above, this draft captures the most notable developments in the early history of the app & company, as reflected in news coverage that's already cited in this article (like ReadWrite), along with additional stories from the Wall Street Journal and other outlets. This draft is intended to replace the first several sentences / bullet points in the existing History section. I'm working on another draft that will cover everything after 2017.

Revised History section draft

Early history and launch

MyFitnessPal was initially developed in 2004 by Mike Lee, a Silicon Valley marketing executive, as a web-based calorie tracking tool. It officially launched in September 2005. His brother, Albert Lee, joined as co-founder in 2008, and helped to grow the venture. The company was entirely self-funded during this time, with advertising as the only source of revenue.

Leveraging the success of the iPhone 3G, MyFitnessPal released an iOS app in 2009. MyFitnessPal was one of the first weight loss and fitness-related mobile apps, and it quickly gained users as smartphone adoption soared. By 2013, the app had 40 million subscribers. That same year, MyFitnessPal raised $18 million in its first institutional funding round, led by Kleiner Perkins with participation from Accel Partners. John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins and Andrew Braccia of Accel joined the company's board.

On February 4, 2015, MyFitnessPal was acquired by athletic apparel maker, Under Armour, in a deal worth $475 million. MyFitnessPal had 80 million users at the time. Later that year, the app introduced a premium subscription tier.

In January 2017, founders Albert Lee and Mike Lee departed from the company to pursue other business ventures.

Second history request

This is Rebecca Casamayor from MyFitnessPal again. Following my history request above (which covered everything from launch to 2017), I have another request to expand the history section to include notable news and developments from 2017 onward. This would be all new material.

You can see the draft here:

Additional History section draft

Further growth and acquisitions

On October 30, 2020, Under Armour announced that MyFitnessPal would be sold to the private equity firm Francisco Partners for $345 million and that it was shutting down Endomondo.

In early 2024, Mike Fisher was appointed as MyFitnessPal CEO, succeeding Dinesh Lathi. In April 2024, MyFitnessPal introduced support tools designed for users on GLP-1 medications. That same year, MyFitnessPal acquired Intent, a personalized meal-planning app. Intent's software features were then integrated into the MyFitnessPal app.

In January 2026, OpenAI added a health tab to ChatGPT allowing users to integrate data from MyFitnessPal and other apps. In March 2026, MyFitnessPal acquired Cal AI, an AI calorie counting app with more than $30 million in annual revenue. The acquisition included Cal AI's food recognition technology and nutrition database. That same month, MyFitnessPal launched an ad business that would offer advertising across its app, website, email newsletter, and other platforms.

Per my other drafts, I have cited all of these claims to news coverage in outlets like Axios, Bloomberg, and Adweek.

XMPP Standards Foundation

COI edit request: introduction (June 2026)

Requested by a COI editor (XSF-affiliated). This is a fresh, self-contained request superseding the introduction part of the earlier (closed) request above.

Proposed change: replace the current lead paragraph (everything before the "History" heading):

−

'''XMPP Standards Foundation''' ('''XSF''') is the foundation in charge of the standardization of the protocol extensions of [[Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol|XMPP]], the open standard of [[instant messaging]] and presence of the [[Internet Engineering Task Force|IETF]].

+

'''XMPP Standards Foundation''' ('''XSF''') is a non-profit organization that develops and maintains open standards for the [[Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol|XMPP]], a decentralized real-time communication protocol standardized through the [[Internet Engineering Task Force|IETF]]. The foundation manages the XMPP Extension Protocol (XEP) process, which defines optional extensions to the protocol. It was founded in 2001 as the ''Jabber Software Foundation'' and renamed the XMPP Standards Foundation in 2007.

Reason: The current lead is a single unsourced sentence. The replacement cites the IETF (a source independent of the XSF) for the standardization claim, and states founding/renaming facts already supported in the History section. It is intentionally brief and avoids promotional language.

Independent sources that may help here are listed in the earlier (closed) request above.

COI edit request: add Mission section (June 2026)

Requested by a COI editor (XSF-affiliated). Self-contained request; independent of the introduction request above.

Proposed change: add a short section immediately after the lead, before "History":

== Mission ==
The XSF focuses on developing protocol specifications rather than software implementations, and its standards are intended to be implementable without licensing fees.<ref>{{cite web |no-tracking=true|title=XSF Mission |url=https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/mission/ |website=xmpp.org |access-date=2026-06-26}}</ref>

Reason: Gives the article a brief, factual statement of the organization's scope, consistent with how organization articles are usually structured.

Independent sources that may help here are listed in the earlier (closed) request above.

Guusdk (talk) 14:11, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

 Not done, the article is already a mess, I don't think this section is going to make things more neutral. Sohom (talk) 08:04, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Part of me wonders if we even need a separate article about this Foundation and whether we can just merge this into the XMPP page? Sohom (talk) 08:08, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Tanner Ainge

Edit request from article subject (COI disclosure)

Conflict-of-interest disclosure: I am an employee of Tanner Ainge, the subject of this article, and requesting this on his behalf. Per WP:COI I am not editing the article directly and am instead requesting the following changes, each supported by independent sources. I'd be grateful if an uninvolved editor would review them.

1. Update the lead

Proposed revised first paragraph:

Tanner Ainge (born December 15, 1983) is an American businessman and former politician. He is the founder and chief executive officer of Banner Capital Management, a lower middle market private equity firm based in the Salt Lake City area, and previously served as a Utah County Commissioner from 2019 to 2021.

2. Add a "Business career" section

Proposed new section (suggested placement: before the political career material):

Ainge is the founder and CEO of Banner Capital Management, a private equity firm focused on founder-led and family-owned businesses in the Intermountain West that generate $4 million to $15 million in EBITDA. The firm manages approximately $630 million in assets.

In 2025, Banner closed Banner Capital Fund I, a continuation fund with more than $400 million in commitments led by Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE), and launched Banner Capital Fund II, a lower middle market buyout fund targeting $200 million. In 2026, GCM Grosvenor became an anchor investor in Fund II as part of a strategic partnership.

Banner's investments have included the carpet-cleaning franchisor Zerorez, the asphalt-maintenance platform Western Pavement Services, and the e-commerce firm Pattern Group, which filed for a U.S. initial public offering in 2025.

3. Update the infobox photograph

Please set the infobox image to the freely licensed photograph hosted on Wikimedia Commons at File:Tanner Ainge 2026.png (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tanner_Ainge_2026.png), licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, VRT permission submitted. Suggested infobox parameters:

| image = Tanner Ainge 2026.png | caption = Ainge in 2026

Note: Moved to COI edit request template. FlammablePizza (talk) 16:13, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Follow-up to request #1 (revised lead). Please replace the proposed lead paragraph in item 1 above with the following:

Tanner Ainge (born December 15, 1983) is an American businessman and former public official who has served as a Utah County Commissioner and on the Governor's Economic Development Board for the State of Utah. He is the founder and chief executive officer of Banner Capital Management, a lower middle market private equity firm with more than $600 million in assets under management. Ainge is also a member of the Utah Army National Guard. He ran an unsuccessful primary race for the U.S. House 3rd Congressional District of Utah against former Provo mayor John Curtis in 2017, but he won the Utah County Commissioner election the following year.

The county commissioner and Governor's Economic Development Board statements are supported by the sources already cited in the article; the assets-under-management figure is supported by the Wall Street Journal source cited in the proposed Business career section (Kreutzer, June 25, 2026). Ncolindres (talk) 04:41, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Follow-up: infobox and photograph.

• Infobox: The infobox still presents Ainge as the sitting officeholder ("Incumbent", "Assumed office January 7, 2019"). As his term as Utah County Commissioner ended in 2021, could an uninvolved editor update the infobox so it no longer lists him as the incumbent — for example, adding a term-end date of 2021 (and a successor if one is on record) — consistent with the revised lead proposed above.

• Photograph: The image change in item 3 above (setting the infobox image to File:Tanner Ainge 2026.png, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0) is a straightforward, uncontroversial update. The file's VRT permission has been submitted and can be verified on Wikimedia Commons; I would be grateful if a reviewer would apply the image once satisfied with the licensing.
