Neutrality

Contra below post: the page references the 1619 project as "largely fictional," a flagrant case of bias on behalf of the editor of the page. Despite legitimate dispute over some of the content of the 1619 project, nobody, including the historians subsequently cited on the page, would claim the 1619 project is "largely fictional." This ought to be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:184:C400:12E6:C5FF:2717:993E:166C (talk) 16:15, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

The part article that discusses the 1619 project is heavily biased in favor of said project heaping praise on it and repeating it’s spin completely uncritically while treating it’s critics with with extreme skepticism if not downright contempt. 2601:405:4A80:B950:F165:7689:7C2D:B146 (talk) 16:31, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Request for disambiguation hatnote

There are two notable individuals named Jake Silverstein. This article covers the journalist and editor of The New York Times Magazine. However, there is also a Jake Silverstein who is an American businessman and international sports investor. He has been the subject of significant independent coverage in multiple reliable sources:

• The Washington Post: reported on his joining D.C. United's ownership group.
• ESPN: reported on his acquisition of a stake in the Brisbane Bullets.
• Sportico: reported on his Brisbane Bullets investment ahead of the 2032 Olympics.
• Arab News: reported on his Enfield Investment Partners/SURJ $4 billion sports fund partnership with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
• BBC Sport: reported on Swansea City AFC ownership structure including Silverstein.
• Wales Online: reported on the Swansea City ownership transition.
• Front Office Sports: reported on the Brisbane Bullets acquisition.

He is co-founder and chairman of Enfield Investment Partners (a $4 billion sports investment platform backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund), co-owner of D.C. United and the Brisbane Bullets, a board member of Al-Ahli Saudi FC (the first foreign national on a Saudi football club board), and former majority co-owner of Swansea City A.F.C.. A Grokipedia article for the businessman was recently reviewed, approved, and published at https://grokipedia.com/page/Jake_Silverstein_businessman.

I am requesting that a disambiguation hatnote be added to this article:

This article is about the journalist. For the American businessman and sports investor, see Jake Silverstein (businessman).

I have also submitted a draft article for the businessman via Wikipedia's Articles for Creation process.

Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest — I am the subject of the proposed article about the businessman. Per WP:COIREQ, I am disclosing this and requesting that uninvolved editors evaluate whether the disambiguation is warranted. I believe the independent sourcing from major publications supports notability under WP:GNG.

Thank you for your consideration. Jmsilverstein21 (talk) 22:31, 4 March 2026 (UTC) Jmsilverstein21 (talk) 22:31, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
