Edit request

(Disclosure: I was hired by the Office of Allen Kukovich to provide copy for an expanded page)

* Specific text to be added or removed:

Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

Kukovich was instrumental in enacting the Children's Health Insurance Program in Pennsylvania, serving as Prime Sponsor of House Bill 20, which was signed into law by Governor Bob Casey on December 2, 1992, providing health insurance to uninsured children who are not eligible for Medicaid. [citation]

In 1997, then-president Bill Clinton signed the federal CHIP program into law as part of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, [citation] with the Pennsylvania CHIP program as a model. CHIP has provided hundreds of thousands of children in Pennsylvania with free or low-cost health insurance each year.

* Specific text to be added or removed:

Death Penalty

Kukovich advocated repeatedly to abolish the death penalty in Pennsylvania. In a bipartisan partnership with Republican Senator Edward Helfrick, he introduced bills opposing the death penalty, including Senate Bill 12 in 2003, which proposed an amendment to the Pennsylvania State Constitution prohibiting the death penalty. [citation]

The historic hearings Kukovich and Helfrick initiated paved the way for Pennsylvania’s eventual moratorium on the death penalty.

Hate Crime Amendment

In 2001, Kukovich authored Pennsylvania’s historic Hate Crimes Amendment to the Ethnic Intimidation Act, expanding the language of what constituted a hate crime to include: "actual or perceived ancestry, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity." At the time, it was the most inclusive language in any hate crime legislation in the United States. [citation]

In 2008, the Hate Crimes Amendment was struck down by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. [citation]

Reforms

Kukovich helped create the state Ethics Act, which regulated the behavior of elected officials and created the State Ethics Commission [link]

He also led a decades-long quest to enact campaign finance reform in Pennsylvania, advocating for publicly financed elections and limits on campaign spending. [citation]

Personal Life

Allen is married to Nancy Kukovich, the CEO of Adelphoi, a nonprofit providing programs for at-risk teens. They have one daughter, Alexandra, who was born in 1994.

Allen Kukovich’s papers are held at the University of Pittsburgh Archives. [citation]

Pigsonthewing, working my way through the COIREQ backlog today ... It's not clear where you want this image to be placed, or how it's relevant to the article. Can you please elaborate? Thank you, MediaKyle (talk) 20:15, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

I stewed over this for a bit, and honestly I don't think I can add this photo. For one thing there's not much room for it -- but it also doesn't seem especially relevant here, as the photo was not taken at Alserkal Avenue (does Jesse Lee of Design Miami have anything to do with Alserkal Avenue either?) ... Looking at this article it's clear that the PR fairy has waved her magic wand before you arrived, and if I didn't consider you a wiki-acquaintance I probably would remove the "Alserkal Arts Foundation" section at least. I won't mark your request as declined, but I think I will have to pass. Sorry, MediaKyle (talk) 20:45, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Alternate Concepts

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

Everything. The page is incomplete and lacks any context to a company that manages and operates major rail systems across the USA.

• Why it should be changed:

See above. Every change that is proposed has an external source/citation. We are open to counsel on how to avoid 'promotional' content but with respect, this is a page for a leading, public-facing private sector business that operates in the public realm on behalf of transportation system owners, i.e. authorities at the federal, state, and regional level.

Prime Music is an ad-free music streaming service that is included in the cost of the standard Amazon Prime membership. It began in 2007. In November 2022, the music catalog was significantly expanded, and the style was changed to be similar to Pandora. This means that when users choose a song, Prime Music plays something similar, rather than the specific song that was selected. When users dislike the song substituted by Prime Music, they can skip a limited number of songs per hour. Amazon offers a separate subscription service called Amazon Music, which costs $10.99 per month for Prime members and $11.99 per month for others. Amazon's music streaming services represent 10% of the market, making it far less popular than Spotify and Apple Music.

In October 2017, Amazon.com added an option for Prime members to get in-home deliveries by its Amazon Flex contractors, who gain entry using a one-time code. The service, Amazon Key, became available for customers residing in 37 United States metro areas in April 2018. As of 2018, the service required a Kwikset or Yale smart lock and a special version of Amazon's Cloud Cam security camera. Customers are given a time window of four hours for the package to be delivered. Once the courier opens the door, the Cloud Cam records a clip until the door is locked, which is sent to the customer's smartphone. Participants in the service can also use the Amazon Key companion app for iOS and Android to lock and unlock the door, monitor the camera, and issue virtual keys. A month after the service was launched, a security expert found a flaw in the system which would freeze the camera and stop image transmission; this issue has since been patched.

American Public University System

Unsourced history update

Hi editors, I'm Alex and I work for APEI, APUS's parent company. I noticed that a good chunk of the History section is unsourced, so I put together some new content to fix that.

So I propose replacing the first paragraph of History:

• The university was founded in 1991 by Major James P. Etter (USMC, retired) as American Military University. Operations began in January 1993 with the enrollment of 18 graduate students. Initially, the main goal of the university was to meet the unique educational needs of military personnel needing courses in specialized areas, such as counterterrorism and military intelligence, that were not included in typical university course offerings. In the early years, instruction was done through conventional correspondence.

With the following:

• American Public University System (APUS) was founded as American Military University (AMU), a private for-profit corporation. The school was created in 1991 by retired United States Marine Corps officer James P. Etter, who operated it from his home. Etter founded the school with less than US$250,000 and received assistance from the Small Business Administration to launch it. The school prioritized active duty military members who could not attend a singular school due to the constraints of their military service and focused its coursework on military history. It launched its first master's program in 1993.

I also propose putting that new paragraph under a new subheading, Founding and early history. Please let me know what you think!

I noticed that these sourcing issues are pretty pervasive throughout, so I did write a whole new draft, in case anyone is interested in taking a look. Cheers APEI Alex (talk) 21:15, 6 March 2026 (UTC) APEI Alex (talk) 21:15, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

"I noticed that these sourcing issues are pretty pervasive throughout, so I did write a whole new draft" I'll presume that with this newer draft version, the text from this request has been superceded by the draft, making this request moot. If that is the case, I'll close the request template.  Spintendo  17:55, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi Spintendo, thanks for looking at this. You’re right that the sandbox draft I linked does replace this particular request, so it’s fine to close it. Appreciate your quick attention to the matter! APEI Alex (talk) 19:08, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

History Update 2

Hi editors, continuing with my proposals to update unsourced content, I suggest making two changes:

• After the first paragraph, add new a subsection header, Accreditation and growth

Replace the following unsourced paragraph:

• In June 1995 AMU became nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). In January of the following year, the school introduced its first undergraduate programs. The first online courses and online classrooms started in 1998. In 1999, all undergraduate classes and programs went fully online, with graduate programs shifting to online in 2000.

With the following sourced paragraph:

• By 1996, the school had 11 staff members and had moved to a warehouse in Manassas, Virginia. It launched its first bachelor's programs that year. Students engaged with faculty via mail and phone in correspondence courses. AMU became a fully online school in 1998. It applied for accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools the same year and was denied in 1999. It moved its headquarters to West Virginia, allowing it to seek accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission, which it received in 2006.

This makes the paragraph verifiable. Please let me know what you think! APEI Alex (talk) 19:56, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Edit request reply 22-MAY-2026

  Edit request declined  

• The reason given for making this change is "This makes the paragraph verifiable"—but the newer text is completely different—so that reasoning must be false. This doesn't make the existing paragraph verifiable, it only verifies the newer text mentioning newer things, all without offering reasons why that newer text ought to be added to the article. "Because it has references, while the other text does not" is not a good enough reason on its own to justify making this change. Kindly elaborate on the reasoning for the newer text's inclusion in the article.

Regards,  Spintendo  17:55, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi again, and thanks for your feedback. Just wanted to clarify why I’m suggesting adding a new “Accreditation and growth” section.

The existing paragraph bundles several milestones together and lacks sources, so there’s no way for readers to verify the claims. For example, the 1996 Washington Post article I cited shows that by that year AMU had about 1,000 students and 11 staff, and that it was still running courses by mail and telephone. That’s important because the current paragraph asserts that national accreditation came in 1995, the first undergraduate programs launched in 1996, and everything went fully online in 1999–2000.

The 1996 article confirms that by the mid‑1990s the school had grown enough to justify adding bachelor’s programs, but also that it hadn’t yet shifted to online delivery, so it helps place those milestones in context. Then APUS’s 2011 annual report traces how the move from correspondence to online classrooms happened between 1998 and 2000 and explains why the institution sought accreditation first from one regional body and then from another.

By creating a separate section with citations, I’m trying to give readers a clear, sourced chronology rather than just adding footnotes. If you have suggestions on how to present it better or would prefer to keep some of the existing wording, let me know and I’ll be happy to adjust! APEI Alex (talk) 19:26, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

History Update 3

Hi editors, for my next request I propose updating the following History paragraph:

• In 2002 AMU expanded to become American Public University System and established American Public University, intended primarily for civilians interested in public service programs. In 2006 APUS was granted regional accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission. In 2012 American Public University System resigned its DETC accreditation. In 2016, the university was listed as tied for 58th place in U.S. News & World Report ranking of online bachelor's degree Programs.

References

With the following:

• The organization changed its name to American Public University System and founded American Public University alongside AMU in 2002 in an effort to reach a wider student base. APUS comprised three schools by 2002: American Public University, American Military University, and American Community College. It had approximately 5,000 students enrolled pursuing associate, bachelor, and master's degrees. The organization received US$10 million in venture capital funding from ABS Capital Partners that year.

References

This keeps the focus on the history of APUS, adds context around the composition of APUS and its student body at the time, improves sourcing, and removes redundancies introduced by my last edit request. Please let me know what you think! APEI Alex (talk) 15:50, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Edit request reply 22-MAY-2026

  Edit request declined  

• The provided reason for making this change merely describes the changes being made, rather than a reason. For example, the reason says "adds context around the composition of APUS". So, what is it about that added context, which makes the proposed text an ideal replacement? Please provide a reason why the newer text is superior to the existing text, including why—and in what way—this newer text would be more informative for readers.

Regrds,  Spintendo  17:55, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi again, Spintendo, thanks for the follow‑up. I believe that the new paragraph is more informative because the current paragraph only lists a name change, an accreditation date and a ranking without explaining what actually happened.

The new text focuses on the 2002 reorganization itself. APUS split into two schools—American Military University for military students and American Public University for non‑military students—so that it could offer the same education to a broader audience of working adults. It also notes that the system had more than 5,000 students and raised $10 million in venture funding at that time, giving readers a sense of the scale and momentum behind the change. Those details replace unsourced statements and move the ranking information to a more appropriate section, which is why I think the new text is a clearer, more useful summary of that period in APUS’s history.

Thanks again for your consideration on all of my requests, looking forward to hearing your thoughts! APEI Alex (talk) 19:46, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Organization and administration section

Hi editors, my next request is to create a new section, Organization and administration, to house various operational details consistent with the guidelines for university articles. What I propose includes information about parent company APEI and a second infobox. Please let me know what you think! APEI Alex (talk) 19:50, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[1]

I'm happy with the governance section, however the subject of the article is APUS not its parent company. That would belong in a separate article. Aloneinthewild (talk) 21:23, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look at it! I agree that the primary focus should remain APUS, and I don't want the article to become an article about APEI.

My thinking was that, since there isn't currently a standalone APEI article and the page only includes a link back to the APUS page, a brief summary of APEI's role provides useful context for readers. APUS is wholly owned and governed by APEI, so understanding that relationship helps explain how the university system is organized today.

I'm not suggesting a full company profile or detailed financial information, just a concise overview of APEI's relationship to APUS. If a standalone APEI article is created in the future, I'd agree this could be reduced to a short summary with a link to that page. Would you be open to refining the section so it stays focused on APUS while still providing that context? APEI Alex (talk) 18:04, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

American Securities

Update the logo in the infobox

• What I think should be changed:

Please update the company logo in the infobox. The current file (File:American_Securities_logo.svg) is outdated and needs to be replaced with the current official logo.

Because I have a Conflict of Interest (COI) as a representative of the company, I have not uploaded the new file myself to avoid copyright/licensing complications. The new official logo can be found on our server here for an independent editor to upload under fair use: https://assets-american-securities.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/system/uploads/fae/image/asset/44/AmSec-logo-image.jpg

• Why it should be changed:

American Securities underwent a brand redesign, and the old logo no longer accurately represents the organization. Updating the logo ensures the article remains accurate and compliant with Wikipedia's guidelines for corporate infoboxes.

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

The new logo can be verified across all official company channels, including the homepage: https://www.american-securities.com/, LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-securities/, and others

Andrea Dalla Costa

Proposed neutral revision of the lead and structure

I have a conflict of interest with the subject of this article, so I am not editing the article directly. I would like to request a neutral revision of the lead and structure of the article, in order to make it more consistent with Wikipedia's standards for biographies of living persons, neutral point of view and verifiability.

The current lead presents Andrea Dalla Costa mainly as a list of professional roles. I suggest reframing the opening around his artistic practice as a visual artist, with film, illustration and art direction described as areas of his work rather than separate promotional claims.

Proposed lead:

Andrea Dalla Costa is an Italian visual artist whose practice spans painting, photography, video and multimedia projects. His work has included projects in contemporary art, film, illustration and art direction. After studying at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, he participated in the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005 with the artist group Temperaturambiente. His short film Le note di Giulia was listed in the short-film section of the 2015 David di Donatello catalogue.

I also suggest the following structural changes:

• Replace the infobox occupation list with "Visual artist".
• Remove "musician" from the opening sentence unless independent reliable sources are provided.
• Move film, illustration and art direction into the body of the article as areas of practice.
• Correct the current listing of The Giver, since available credits indicate an additional footage acknowledgement rather than a co-director credit.
• Reword the David di Donatello sentence to avoid implying that Le note di Giulia won the award.
• Restructure the works section into more encyclopedic sections such as:
  • Artistic practice
  • Selected projects
  • Film and video
  • Bibliography and illustration
  • Exhibitions
  • References

Suggested sources:

Thank you.

Andrew Harms

COI request: replace outdated career information with sourced update

Complete proposed replacement: User:Harms107/Andrew Harms draft

I am Andrew Harms, the subject of this article, and disclose that conflict of interest. I request that an uninvolved editor replace the outdated article with the sourced sandbox draft linked above, modifying or omitting material as needed under BLP, neutrality, and reliable-sourcing policies.

The current article incorrectly describes former ALT 98.7 and ALT 102.9 positions as current and contains dated, unsourced lists. The proposed draft updates the chronology through the Amazon Music period.

Strengthened sourcing: Variety independently confirms the 2020 Amazon Music appointment; HAPPENS lists the later Rock & Alt Programming Lead title; ABC Audio directly names Harms and Lilith Czar as Warped Tour livestream hosts; Billboard supports the 2016 ranking and programming-philosophy passage; Revolt confirms Harms as host of Sounds by the Sound; and an official Amazon Music LinkedIn employee spotlight describes his work as including playlist creation and viral billboard development.

• https://www.linkedin.com/posts/amazon-music_creativity-at-work-andy-harms-activity-7391532527812997121-KQvL

The requested change is to replace the live article text with the sandbox draft while retaining only claims an independent editor finds adequately sourced. Harms107 (talk) 15:06, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Following up on this COI request. I understand the full sandbox rewrite may be more than a volunteer editor can review quickly, so I would be grateful for consideration of a narrower first step focused only on correcting plainly outdated career information in the live article.

Specifically, the current article still says Harms is currently an afternoon-drive host on ALT 98.7 Los Angeles and ALT 102.9 Seattle, and assistant program director/music director for ALT 98.7. That information is outdated. Reliable sources support that he left ALT 98.7 in October 2020 and joined Amazon Music the following month as a U.S. rock and alternative programmer:

• RadioInsight, "Andrew Harms Departing Alt 98.7" — https://radioinsight.com/headlines/200599/andrew-harms-departing-alt-98-7/
• RAMP, "Harms & Stapleford Now Streaming" — https://ramp247.com/programming/harms-stapleford-now-streaming/
• Variety, "Chris Booker Heads to iHeartRadio, Will Host Afternoons on Los Angeles' Alt 98.7" — https://variety.com/2020/music/news/chris-booker-heads-to-iheartradio-will-host-afternoons-on-los-angeles-alt-98-7-1234849167/

If a full replacement is too broad, I request that an uninvolved editor make only these limited updates:

1. Remove the "Harms is currently" list stating that he hosts ALT 98.7 / ALT 102.9 and serves as APD/MD for ALT 98.7. 2. Add a short sourced sentence that he left KYSR/ALT 98.7 in October 2020 and joined Amazon Music in November 2020 as a U.S. rock and alternative programmer. 3. Update the infobox/lead to avoid presenting former radio roles as current.

Suggested neutral replacement wording:

"Harms served as music director, assistant program director, and afternoon-drive host at KYSR/ALT 98.7 in Los Angeles. He left the station in October 2020 and joined Amazon Music the following month as a U.S. rock and alternative programmer."

I remain aware of my conflict of interest and am not asking to make the edit myself. Thank you for considering this narrower correction. Harms107 (talk) 13:33, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Andrew Mason

Correct Early Life and Education

• What I think should be changed: Remove "a Jewish family". Instead of "Mason grew up in a Jewish family in Mt. Lebanon..." it should be changed to "Mason grew up in Mt. Lebanon..."
• Why it should be changed: Mason did NOT grow up in a Jewish family. He DID grow up in a family in Mt. Lebanon...
• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): How can I prove a negative? What source can I provide? To quote Wikipedia article on Reliable sources, "if no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. and "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—must be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."

Anja Mihr

Proposed rewrite to resolve maintenance tags

Conflict of interest disclosure

I am proposing a substantial rewrite of this article. Before doing so, I wish to disclose a conflict of interest per WP:COI: I knew Dr Mihr personally as a student in a master's programme she directed. I do not have a financial or professional relationship with her. In accordance with COI guidelines, I am not editing the article directly and am instead posting the proposed text here for review and implementation by an independent editor. I am tagging this accordingly.

Summary of proposed changes

The rewrite addresses the existing maintenance tags by:

• replacing all bare URLs and malformed citations with properly formatted {{cite web}}: Empty citation (help) and {{cite book}}: Empty citation (help)templates
• restructuring the career section into chronological sub-sections with prose narrative
• adding citations for all previously unsourced claims, drawn from DAAD, Schader-Stiftung, HRE USA, the Berlin Governance Platform, and the OSCE Academy
• updating the article to include appointments, programmes, and publications from 2023-2024 not currently covered

Proposed article text

The full proposed wikitext is below. It is ready to be copied into the article as-is once an independent editor has reviewed it.

Anja Mihr, 2015

Anja Mihr (born 1969) is a German political scientist. She specializes in international human rights law, transitional justice, and governance. Mihr is the founder and director of the Center on Governance through Human Rights at the Berlin Governance Platform. Her research addresses democratic transitions, the implementation of international human rights norms at the local level, and the intersection of digitalisation with human rights frameworks. Throughout her career, she has held academic positions at universities in Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, Italy, China, and Kyrgyzstan, and most recently in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Anna Delvey

Redundant pejoratives in lead

I'm the subject of this article therefore this is a

.

Con artist and fraudster in my opening description are two contentious and redundant pejoratives that are also not legally accurate - I was convicted of larceny, not fraud (public record). There is also no mention that my conviction is currently on direct appeal (also public record). I request that the lead instead use neutral and factual language to describe me and my conviction and note the pending appeal. Theannadelvey (talk) 09:29, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

According to Marie Claire and The New York Times, Sorokin was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison on one count of attempted grand larceny, three counts of grand larceny, and four counts of theft of services. The NYTimes also states that the subject was acquitted of stealing $60K from a friend for a trip to Morocco. If the subject were convicted of larceny alone, then WP:BLPCRIME should, in theory, limit the descriptors used in the article to those involving larceny and theft of services. New York State defines larceny using an array of descriptors, including:

By conduct heretofore defined or known as common law larceny by trespassory taking, common law larceny by trick, embezzlement, or obtaining property by false pretenses

Since the term "con artist" describes using confidence to obtain property, that would seem to be covered by "trick, embezzlement, or false promises". Theft of services in New York ranges from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class E felony. As far as the term "fraud", New York State similarly lists a large volume of crimes under the term "fraud" but since the subject apparently wasn't convicted for any of them, we can safely dispose of the term "fraudster". I think it's important to mention continuing appeals until they run their course, but "as of" would be a far better preposition to use than "currently". I'll leave this open to invite discussion from the community. Regards,  Spintendo  11:20, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Request to correct emigration date and age

The article currently states: "Born near Moscow, Delvey emigrated from Russia to Germany with her family at the age of 16 in 2007." This is factually incorrect, I permanently moved to Germany with my dad, not entire family, at the end of 2005, at the age of 14. My traveling and school records corroborate this timeline. Update the article accordingly. Theannadelvey (talk) 05:22, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi Anna, it looks like whoever put that sentence in was basing it off of this article, which does say "Anna Sorokin was born in Russia in 1991, and moved to Germany in 2007, when she was 16, with her younger brother and her parents" and then goes on to give a short sketch of your childhood that it says is based on interviewing your family in Germany. Even if that article on The Cut is incorrect it will be hard to change that without another source that contradicts it. Is there anywhere editors could read some of these records that corroborate the timeline? -- LWG ^{talk (VOPOV)} 16:05, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Partly done I removed the information about your mother since the sources citing in the article didn't say anything about your mother's occupation. -- LWG ^{talk (VOPOV)} 16:21, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

LWG you claim to strive to maintain a policy of neutrality on controversial issues and to believe in civility and assuming good faith, but your edits on my profile from July 9th 2026 show otherwise. I don't agree with the rationale given that it is

"not completely clear" whether sources discuss my paintings or exhibitions. That is something that should be resolved by examining the sources themselves more closely or looking for better ones, not by deleting the material without discussion.

There are so many articles documenting my work as an artist, including coverage of exhibitions and reporting on hundreds of thousands of dollars in art sales, and removing any mention of that work from the first paragraph gives readers an incomplete picture of my post-2017 career. The lead again continues to emphasize redundant insulting pejoratives "con artist" and "fraudster," both of which are meant to publicly humiliate and degrade me, despite the related events already being covered in extensive detail later in the article. Per Wikipedia's neutrality policy, the lead should summarize the full scope of the subject's notability rather than focus almost exclusively on criminal conduct, which currently is the case.

Happy to provide a list of sources supporting the above, let me know how. Theannadelvey (talk) 04:32, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Anna Ranta

Requesting some updates

Kia ora. As the University of Otago Wikimedian in Residence, I have a conflict of interest with this page. I would like to request some changes, as follows:

1. Add maiden name: Could the first sentence begin "Annemarei Ranta (known as Anna, nee Wittman)" to cover off the mismatch between proper name and article title (subject uses both), and to include her maiden name, as she has published under that (e.g. )

2. Add missing career information: At the end of the first paragraph of Academic career section, after "She moved to New Zealand in 2007, where she was initially a consultant neurologist and lead stroke physician at the MidCentral District Health Board." add "In 2014 she moved to Wellington and has been working as a consultant neurologist at Wellington Hospital/Capital Coast and Hutt Valley District.(source already used in article: CCDHB profile) From 2024 to 2018 she held the role of Executive Clinical Director for the Medicine Directorate at Capital and Coast District Health Board and has served in several regional and national stroke leadership roles for the New Zealand Ministry of Health and Te Whatu Ora. She is the current Medical Director for Stroke Aotearoa.(source:CCDHB profile, and new source)

3. Add finish date to role: At end of second paragraph of academic career section, change "As of 2024, she is head of the Department of Medicine at the University of Otago's Wellington campus." to "She was head of the Department of Medicine at the University of Otago's Wellington campus from 2018 to 2025." I cannot find a proper published announcement, but you can see that the current head of medicine is Rebecca Grainger (https://www.otago.ac.nz/wellington/about/senior-leadership) and Ranta's Orcid profile shows her end date as 2025 (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3223-3330) so the current wording is inaccurate.

4. Updates to research section.

Old

Ranta's research is focused on stroke care and the development of interventions to improve stroke care. Ranta led Health Research Council-funded research that showed significant variations in stroke care across New Zealand, for instances some patients received follow-up care within 1–2 weeks while others waited up to five months. There were also differences in care received by Māori and Pacific patients. Ranta has worked on decreasing such inequities in stroke care, leading the development of tools such as electronic decision support tools for stroke prevention, for use by GPs, and ways to improve access to stroke specialists from rural healthcare services.

New (insert 'optimisation', expand, fix broken link for "26 new professors" ref)

Ranta's research is focused on stroke care optimisation and the development of interventions to improve stroke care access and outcomes with a focus on resource constrained settings and reducing health inequities. Ranta led Health Research Council-funded research that showed significant variations in stroke care across New Zealand, for instances some patients received follow-up care within 1–2 weeks while others waited up to five months. There were also differences in care received by rural, Māori and Pacific patients resulting in differential health outcomes. Ranta has worked on decreasing such inequities in stroke care, leading the development of tools such as electronic decision support tools for stroke prevention, for use by GPs, co-ordinating national level hyper-acute stroke care services to improve access thrombectomy, and ways to improve access to stroke specialists from rural healthcare services using telestroke (telemedicine for stroke patients). Other work includes co-designing stroke interventions to address ethnic inequities, developing models of stroke care for LMIC in the South Pacific, advancing the use of tenecteplase and idarucizumab in acute stroke, and the use of telestroke across international borders and within the pre-hospital ambulance setting. She has also led neuroepidemiology research using big data and data linkage and has published on the associations between stroke, indigenous peoples, greenspace exposure, and climate change as well as the neurology workforce.(Source:University profile) She collaborates with researchers across the globe including the Global Burden of Disease Group.

Old:

Ranta leads the New Zealand National Stroke Registry and Stroke Strategy. Ranta is a on the boards of the World Stroke Organisation and the Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists. She has been President of the Neurological Association of New Zealand. She is on several editorial boards, including those of Stroke and Neurology.

New (fix broken link for university page, expand, add sources):

Ranta leads the New Zealand National Stroke Registry and has authored several national NZ Stroke Strategies. Ranta is on the boards of the World Stroke Organisation, the Asia Pacific Stroke Organisation, Stroke Aotearoa and the Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists (ANZSO). She has been President of the Neurological Association of New Zealand, is the current President-elect of ANZSO, and co-chairs the WSO Telestroke Committee. She is on several editorial boards, including those of Stroke, Neurology and Journal of the American Heart Association, and serves as stroke section editor of Springer Nature’s Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports.

Anthony D. Romero

More concise/accurate "Early life and education" section

Hello editors! My name's Sara and I work for the ACLU. I have drafted an updated version of this article, with improved sourcing, that I'm seeking updates to this page from.

• Request: I would like to replace the current first paragraph of the Early life and education section with the following paragraph. All of the information listed here is factually correct, more concise, and backed by sourcing. It also removes ACLU as a primary source from the current paragraph:

Anthony D. Romero was born on July 9, 1965, in The Bronx, New York City, to Puerto Rican parents Demetrio and Coralie Romero. He grew up in a public housing project in The Bronx. His father worked at a Manhattan hotel and was initially denied higher-paying work as a banquet waiter due to limited English proficiency. After filing a grievance with his labor union's attorney, his father won the case. The family later moved to New Jersey, where Romero completed high school.

Early career section with improved sourcing

Hello editors! My name's Sara and I work for the ACLU. Would anybody be willing to take a look at my next request?

• Request: I would like to take what is currently in the Early career section, and replace it wholesale with the following version. The section mainly uses primary sourcing from the ACLU website, and contains a dead Wikilink. My proposed version is completely re-written based on a reliable source from the New York Times. See below:

Early career

Romero worked at the Rockefeller Foundation, where he led a study that investigated future directions in civil rights advocacy. In 1992, Romero began working as an executive for the Ford Foundation, developing its human rights and international cooperation program. Under his leadership, this program became the foundation’s largest, granting $90 million in support of projects including affirmative action, immigrant rights, and gay rights.

As mentioned earlier, I am requesting that we replace the current live section, which relies mainly on an ACLU source and a little on a Boston Globe article, with my proposed version that uses the New York Times as its primary source. The current section also contains a dead Wikilink, which I am proposing we fix with my version above. If there are any questions you might have, feel free to ask them here.

Anxiety disorder

Proposed addition to "Treatments for children" section: parent-based treatment (SPACE)

Disclosure: I am Eli Lebowitz, the developer of the SPACE treatment discussed below, so I have a conflict of interest and am proposing this change here rather than editing the article directly. I would be grateful if an uninvolved editor could review the proposal and the sources and add the content (in whatever revised form seems appropriate) if it is judged suitable.

Proposed text (2–3 sentences for the end of the "Treatments for children" section):

Parent-based treatment has also been developed for childhood anxiety. Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) is delivered entirely to parents and targets family accommodation of the child's symptoms; a randomized noninferiority trial found it comparable to cognitive behavioral therapy for childhood anxiety disorders,[1][2] and the CANMAT/ICOCS 2025 international guidelines state that it has shown efficacy in pediatric anxiety disorders.[3]

April Masini

Request edit — disambiguation of "Masini" per MOS:SAMESURNAME (BLP accuracy issue)

I am April Masini, the subject of this article, so per WP:COI I am requesting corrections here rather than editing directly.

The problem: This article discusses two different people with the surname Masini — me (the subject) and Al Masini, my former husband, who appears throughout the early part of the article (as co-producer of the 1998 Miss Universe Pageant, in the "Al and April Masini Day" proclamation, and as my former spouse). Despite this, the article refers to me as "Masini" alone in dozens of places.

Why this matters: It violates Wikipedia's own style guideline. MOS:SAMESURNAME provides that when multiple people who share a surname are discussed in an article, they should be referred to by first name or full name to avoid ambiguity. It creates factual misattribution on a biography of a living person. Sentences such as "Masini was the first to use Hawaii's newly passed Act 221" and "producers Masini and Adam Fields" describe work in which Al Masini had no involvement whatsoever. On a page where "Al Masini" appears prominently, "Masini" alone makes my documented, cited work ambiguous — a reader cannot reliably tell which Masini is meant.

An independent scholarly source resolves the ambiguity by first name. A peer-reviewed Duke University Press article states: "…whose production was brokered by April Masini, also behind Baywatch: Hawaii and bringing the Miss Universe pageants to Hawai'i in 1998—Masini made Blue Crush the first film to exploit then-new special tax breaks designed to draw 'high tech' industry [to] Hawai'i." (Environmental Humanities, vol. 16, no. 1, 2024; publisher: Duke University Press; ISSN 2201-1919; hosted at read.dukeupress.edu: https://read.dukeupress.edu/environmental-humanities/article/16/1/19/386273/ — the journal is indexed in DOAJ and SCImago with Duke University Press listed as publisher). This peer-reviewed source attributes the Blue Crush brokering — and the Act 221 first — to April Masini by name, and does not mention Al Masini at all. Suggested citation, should editors wish to add it: "Blue Crush: Cinema, Oceanic Feeling, and Settler Colonialism". Environmental Humanities. 16 (1). Duke University Press. 2024. ISSN 2201-1919. Requested edit: Throughout the article, refer to the subject as "April Masini" (or "April" where repetition is awkward), and to Al Masini as "Al Masini" (or "Al"), consistent with MOS:SAMESURNAME. This is a style-guideline-compliance and accuracy request only; no content or sourcing changes are requested.

One additional error: In the Blue Crush section, the wikilink on "Sylvester" points to Sylvester (singer). The law firm mentioned (Bloom Hergott Diemer) represented Sylvester Stallone, the actor. The link target is incorrect and should point to Sylvester Stallone.

Concretely: where "Masini" alone refers to me, please change "Masini" to "April Masini" (or "April"); where it refers to Al Masini, please change it to "Al Masini" (or "Al"); and please change the wikilink Sylvester (singer) to Sylvester Stallone.

Thank you for your consideration. — April Masini (article subject) AprilMasini (talk) 08:59, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Arab Medical Center

Requested addition: Stem cell and bone marrow transplant unit

I have a conflict of interest with Arab Medical Center. Per WP:COI, I am requesting that an uninvolved editor add the following content. This is supported by a peer-reviewed publication in a major academic journal.

Proposed addition

Add to the "Medical services" section, after the existing first paragraph:

--- BEGIN PROPOSED TEXT ---

The hospital's stem cell and bone marrow transplant unit performs hematopoietic cell transplants for conditions including leukemia, lymphoma, and thalassemia. A 2019 study published in Bone Marrow Transplantation (Nature Publishing Group) identified AMC as one of three centers in Jordan providing this service, alongside King Hussein Cancer Center and Jordan University Hospital.

--- END PROPOSED TEXT ---

Source

• Halahleh I, et al. (2019). "Hematopoietic cell transplants in Jordan: different indications from the US and EU." Bone Marrow Transplantation, 54, 1936–1938. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41409-019-0569-4

 * Peer-reviewed, published in Nature Publishing Group journal
 * Independent of AMC (international academic research)
 * Explicitly identifies AMC as one of three transplant centers in Jordan
 * Data covers March 2003 to September 2017

Rationale

• This is the strongest independent source found. A Nature-affiliated journal explicitly naming AMC as one of three transplant centers in Jordan establishes significant notability.
• The study is independent (not funded by AMC, not written by AMC staff).
• Per WP:V and WP:NORG, this directly supports AMC's notability as a medical institution.
• The claim is factual and neutral, avoiding any promotional language.
• Does not remove or modify any existing content.

Thank you for your time and consideration. ~2026-36338-32 (talk) 13:06, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Arada (company)

Updating the Arada Page - Support Requested

Hello, as I am associated with the topic of this page, I am adding suggested changes here, so that we get consensus before any changes are. made to this page moving forward. Suggested amendments to make maintain accuracy / completeness of this page:

Suggested changes / amendments: Change the second line under History to read: Arada has 55,000 homes and AED130 billion ($35 billion) of projects in its existing and future pipeline, as of early 2026. (https://www.agbi.com/construction/2026/02/arada-to-deploy-australian-construction-arm-in-gulf-and-uk/)

Add an additional line after to para 3. Other acquisitions and partnerships in the food and beverage sector include Australian cookie and bakehouse brand Brooki (https://www.afr.com/companies/retail/brooke-bellamy-survives-cookbook-scandal-eyes-100-bakery-expansion-20251112-p5neqe) and South Africa’s Tashas Group (https://businesstech.co.za/news/business/837089/popular-south-african-restaurant-chain-expanding-internationally/).

For the second to last line in this section, can we change to: In 2025, Arada completed several acquisitions to build up its industrial vertical, including the New South Wales operations of Australian contractor Roberts Co (use existing link), Italian crane manufacturer Raimondi and three crane divisions belonging to US-listed Terex Corporation (https://vertikal.net/en/news/story/46872/raimondi-to-acquire-terex-cranes).

In the projects section can we add the latest launch at the bottom. In January 2026, Arada launched Inaura Downtown, a 210-m tall hospitality and branded residences tower designed by Dutch architects MVRDV. (https://www.dezeen.com/2026/01/19/inaura-skyscraper-mvrdv-dubai-uae/)

Change number of staff to 2,600 (this is as per brand rep confirmation)

Change the category to UAE real estate companies and UAE companies founded in 2017. It’s not a KSA company

In addition, ARADA has another new acquisition announced last week, I am suggesting to add this sentence after the sentence about acquiring the three gym brands: The company also purchased Abu Dhabi-based Reem Hospital from a consortium including private equity firm Investcorp, and is planning to add an additional three hospitals in the UAE source here: https://www.agbi.com/construction/2026/05/arada-bought-reem-hospital-to-break-revenue-cycle-says-ceo/

OmarKattan (talk) 06:34, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello , can anyone support here, another edit needed George Flooks is no longer CEO of the Gyms brand and the article that was added to support that is now not live (404)

Can I go ahead and make all these changes or does anyone have any input, as I am associated with this brand I would rather that other editors update with my input here. thank you

OmarKattan (talk) 06:47, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

It's likely no-one saw your request, because you didn't tag it with {{Edit COI}}. I have now done so, at the top of this section. Please note the stated backlog. We recommend you ask for changes by using the Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard, which will handle the formalities for you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:44, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

• What I think should be changed:

After this: In December 2024, Arada acquired three gym brands in the UAE, FitnGlam, The Platform Studios, and Fitcode. [16]

Add...

The company also purchased Abu Dhabi-based Reem Hospital from a consortium including private equity firm Investcorp, and is planning to add an additional three hospitals in the UAE (Arada bought Reem Hospital to break revenue cycle, says CEO | AGBI).

• Why it should be changed:

UPdate to make the page more useful

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

Arada bought Reem Hospital to break revenue cycle, says CEO | AGBI

Arias with a Twist

Edit request: correct infobox official website (COI)

Declaring a conflict of interest per WP:COI: I worked on the original production and built the current official site; I am unpaid. Requesting a neutral editor evaluate the following.

The infobox |website= currently points to an archived snapshot of a HERE listings page, which was never the show's own site:

{{official|https://web.archive.org/web/20080914033253/http://www.here.org:80/see/now/}}

The production's current official website is https://ariaswithatwistreturns.com/. Per WP:ELOFFICIAL the current official site is the appropriate value here. Proposed change — replace the infobox |website= value with:

{{Official website|https://ariaswithatwistreturns.com/}}

The original production's archival site (http://ariaswithatwist.com/) in ==External links== should remain unchanged as a historical record of the 2008 run. idledebonair (talk) 17:39, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
