edits

[edit]

I have taken the recommendations and attempted to apply them. I have removed informal language as well as any words that might be perceived as "puffery". I have highlighted the more critical roles including the three presidential appointments and the public service. I have left the membership of boards as I believe this is relevant to a business audience interested in philanthropists and the business background modelled after other examples on Wikipedia and for transparency. There are, I believe, sufficient, varied and credible references for all facts stated. I hope the reviewing editors find this version much improved and will consider publishing it.

Comments left by AfC reviewers

[edit]
  • Comment: Due to the very long history and concerns from longstanding reviewers, I have taken out a few areas to further reduce the promotional impact, and move to a more encyclopedic entry. I recognise the submitting editor has also made a lot of changes here, for which many thanks. Notability is established, verification in place, so it's mainly an issue of tone and proportionality.

  • Comment: Still full of puffery. The "awards and recognition" section is also unsourced, while the rest has a case of citation overkill. You're going for quality over quantity with the references here. MediaKyle (talk) 12:42, 10 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment: This page remains a mess, you are not listening. Submitting a page where you have the same sentence repeated in a paragraph and a third time in the next paragraph is effectively insulting to the volunteer reviewers. Be professional, respect the reviewers and get help, you are not getting closer. Ldm1954 (talk) 18:32, 12 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment: This looks more like a resume than an article. This page is mostly just a list of everyone he's ever been employed by, made donations to, served on the board of, etc. As a result, most of the sources are primary sources which are not useful for establishing notability. It's a series of lists in prose format, there's not much actual substantive prose. What is this individual most notable for? A laundry list of positions held and awards won is usually a sign that a page is compensating for a lack of notability.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 18:47, 29 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Maintenance templates

[edit]

As the AFC reviewer, I have removed 2 of the 3 maintenance templates / banners. There have been a lot of edits, mostly removing text, so it may be the last one can go too, but would appreciate another set of eyes on this. ChrysGalley (talk) 14:31, 2 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
