COI edit request

{tn|{request edit}} + Proposed Changes

Thanks for reviewing my prior request below. It looks like the decision on the delete consideration was to keep the page so I have deleted the "tld" part of the request edit form. For references for the first two points, please see the following link to our benefits at https://secure.www.cfr.org/about/corporate/corporate_benefits.html 1. Update membership levels to reflect new tiers and number of companies participating: Corporate membership (approximately 200 companies total) is divided into three membership tiers: "Premium" ($30,000), "President's Circle" ($60,000) and "Founders Level" ($100,000).

2. Update benefits: All corporate executive members have opportunities to attend events and meetings featuring distinguished speakers, such as overseas presidents and prime ministers, chairmen and CEOs of multinational corporations, and US officials and Congressmen. Presidents Circle and Founders Level members are also entitled to other benefits, including attendance at small, private dinners or receptions with senior American officials and world leaders and private briefings from CFR fellows or CFR president Richard N. Haass (Founders Level-only.)

This article was nominated for deletion on 30 August 2010 (UTC). The result of the discussion was keep.

I have an employee conflict of interest and, per this article ( WP:SCOIC ), am following Misplaced Pages's advice to avoid COI posts. I am aware of Misplaced Pages's policies and will abide by them, but would like contribute information that will improve the accuracy of this page.

Changes: 1. Update membership levels to reflect new tiers and number of companies participating: Corporate membership (approximately 200 companies total) is divided into three membership tiers: "Premium" ($30,000), "President's Circle" ($60,000) and "Founders Level" ($100,000).

Hi. Thanks you for wanting to edit Misplaced Pages and for respecting our guidelines. I don't believe I can add your first two points, as they do not have anything I can reference them by... but I'll see what I can do with the other two. --Imagine Wizard (talk • contribs • count) Iway amway Imagineway Izardway. 00:52, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately this page is being considered for deletion. I'm going to decline your request unless the deletion is declines. in which case delete the 'tld|' part of the {{request edit}} template. --Imagine Wizard (talk • contribs • count) Iway amway Imagineway Izardway. 00:59, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Not done, because these are non-neutral claims lacking an independent reliable source - see WP:PRIMARY.  Chzz  ►  20:19, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Epstein, Epstein, Epstein!

I started slogging through this article to edit its many inconsistencies, over-linking and whatnot. It is predominantly a list. Yet, one encounters an inordinate amount of notes about a singular subject, Jeffrey Epstein, sprinkled throughout the references. Looking closer, various other back-end notes appear as an extended WP:COATRACK. I counted three superfluous mentions of Epstein in the main content:

"Jeffrey Epstein confidant"

"Epstein associate"

"associate of Jeffrey Epstein".

Here are just three examples of coatraking, quickly pulled from sources:

• 1. 67. Intelligencer Dossier (July 22, 2019), "Jeffrey Epstein's High Society Contacts", New York magazine: "Edgar Brоnfman Jr. . . . found in Epstein's black book. The former Warner Music Group CEO is related to the NXIVM-sex-cult Bronfmans. His son has a child with pop star M.I.A."
  2. 71. Darragh Roche (June 2, 2021), "Fauci Said Masks 'Not Really Effective in Keeping Out Virus,' Email Reveals", Newsweek: ". . . Fauci . . . replies to an email from Sylviа Burwell. . . . Fauci wrote: ' . . . The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets . . ."
  3. 140. Felix Salmon (Sep. 12, 2019), "Exclusive: Reid Hoffman apologizes for role in Epstein-linked donations to MIT", Axios: "The abuse described by Jeffery Epstein's survivors is abhorrent, horrific, and disgusting. I am hopeful survivors can attain justice and support, and the communities damaged by these events can begin healing."

There are many other examples. Significant events ought to be on the subjects' pages, in my opinion. This page is a list. Any opinions on this coat-racking?? Lindenfall (talk) 21:42, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

• @Lindenfall: - came here from Mel's talk page. This is absolutely COATRACK-ing, and these parts you quoted should be nuked. starship.paint (exalt) 13:27, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

• 81% of this article is written by Æthereal. Mind explaining what are you trying to do by adding in quotes about Epstein (or quotes about other things) that simply do not relate to this topic of Members of the Council on Foreign Relations? This is serious enough to warrant attention by WP:BLPN or WP:ANI. Misplaced Pages is not your personal plaything or quotebook. starship.paint (exalt) 13:45, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Epstein was “enthusiastic member” of CFR

When I started improving on this list article many, many months ago, it was much shorter, woefully out of date and out of order. Remember that Epstein was described as an “enthusiastic member” of the CFR in the 19-year-old (i.e., legal) magazine piece that was one of my refs. His connections still figure prominently with many current members, e.g., the Barclays CEO Jes Staley who just resigned after the revelation of his hundreds of e-mails to Epstein. He was also seen in the now-famous photo of Epstein with Bill Gates and Larry Summers.

Since you find my use of Epstein’s name excessive, you’re of course welcome to pare it down, although I would request that you “nuke” strategically, not apocalyptically, please.

As for deleting red-link members just because they don’t have their own article, there’s no reason the list shouldn’t include some red-link members for which I’ve made a conscientious effort to include refs to their various external bios where possible. The page was greatly expanded by me to include hundreds of the members who do already have articles.

And you’re right — “and” looks better than the ampersands and forward slashes I was using to save a little space.

Thank you for your consideration.
