Article content errors

[edit]

Folks, I'd like to correct one error on the page, then articulate very briefly what I do at craigslist, and include one video link:

I'm not politically active, as was on Newsome's transition team, not anything else.

At craigslist, my full time job is customer service, dealing a lot with spammers and scammers.

Interview on Public TV/KQED Josh Kornbluth show:

Cnewmark 17:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've incorporated these suggestions, which checked out 100%. I also removed content that didn't belong in the article, but would be better in craigslist. Do you have any other ideas for improvement? —EncMstr 19:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, appreciated! If it's valuable, I'm involved in a small way with Sunlight Foundation, responsible for Congresspedia.org and anti-corruption tools, and also OneVoice, a peace group comprised of thousands of moderates in Palestine and Israel. is that useful?
Cnewmark 21:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. Those might be worthy additions: How are you involved with them? Any links to sources? —EncMstr 21:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm started to get involved with groups that work quietly, enlisting citizens to make things happen. My primary contribution is getting the word out, but secondarily, I advise regarding online community. Here're some links for some of those groups, along with articles that might be valuable and/or entertaining.Let me know if that's too much; there's lots more around —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cnewmark (talk • contribs) 03:58, 12 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Cnewmark 17:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Folks, looks like a number of links to press were removed, but I don't see any history on that or discussion.

Can someone let me know what happened? thanks! Cnewmark 19:54, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They were removed by this edit which was not explained in the edit summary. However, that editor has a history of cleaning up link spam, so that's probably the explanation. —EncMstr 20:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The links are valid; how does one get this corrected? thanks! Cnewmark 05:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I see the correction!

Would it be appropriate to suggest adding links to clips of my stuff on the Colbert and Stewart shows? Cnewmark 16:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cnewmark (talk) 21:03, 20 September 2013 (UTC) folks, the Wikimedia folks have asked me to ask you to add the following to this page. (I'm playing by the rules) I've been named as a "nerd-in-residence" by the US Department of Veterans Affairs, seriously. That might make me officially the biggest nerd in the world. I'm still a customer service rep at craigslist[reply]

Cnewmark (talk) 21:03, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]


folks, I need a hand, the Forbes article wildly exaggerates rumors of my net worth, and it causes problems including physical safety.
Granted, there's no reliable source for this at all. Would it be ethical for me to suggest someone remove it. Thanks! /Craig 4.31.68.199 (talk) 19:14, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Are you saying Forbes is not a reliable source? I think it is generally trusted as one even here at Wikipedia. Any idea how they got their information? Seems like someone would have had their lawyer slap them around if that was a frequent enough problem.
Do you know of another source which is somewhat reputable and contradicts Forbes? —EncMstr (talk) 22:56, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to delay a response; working with sensitive info, and it will be months before I can go further. A new article by danah boyd addresses the broad issue, in the interim:

http://craigconnects.org/2014/04/smart-words-about-journalism-from-danah-boyd.html[3] The only source of actual info of my net worth is me, and I don't know how to suitably document that, suggestions appreciated, and thanks for your forbearance. Craignewmark (talk) 20:02, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've been speaking with senior Wikipedians, we've discussed that I've been widely saying that "Wikipedia is where facts go to live" and yet, the estimate of my net worth is very wrong. Frankly, correcting mistakes is part of my ongoing recovery from some years of ongoing unfortunate fake news attacks, so...

I'd like to point out that the figure is not reliably sourced, the citation asserts a value with no evidence behind it. I believe there is no close to accurate information published on my net worth, nor anything accurate relating to craigslist revenue.

Given the lack of reliable sourcing, I'd like that item removed.

Thanks! Cnewmark (talk) 21:32, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that we should not include that (now 6-year-old) estimate absent some better sourcing. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:37, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've update the Forbes reference with a new estimate of net worth based on Craigslist valuation. Nicmart (talk) 06:53, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! and I'm hoping it's appropriate to suggest removing the other reference?

(It's been suggested that I suggest updating the page to make it relatively current and complete, and will include some citations here. Please tell me to avoid that if it's contrary to Wikipedia culture and ethics.)

Cnewmark (talk) 21:14, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, following up with my commitment, here are a small subset of references. Please do push back if I cross a line, and I'll share that with the wikipedian suggesting this. Thanks!

Reply and philanthropy rewrite

[edit]

Folks, I'm back to propose new language for the Philanthropy section. Much thanks to Marquardtika and Dwightny7 for your help thus far. If either of you are available to review the next section, you are most welcome to.

With this rewrite, I hope to add more historical context about this part of my life, and improve sourcing where I could. I left out some information that is currently in the article when appropriate sourcing was not available.

I am curious if reviewing editors would also look at this Morristown Green article to see if it is appropriate for adding mention of my donation to Operation Sisterhood. As always, I am open to feedback and questions, and understand that editors may alter my draft.

@Cnewmark: Don't think this is integral to the page but don't oppose adding it either. Dwightny7 (talk) 15:47, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Again, much thanks for the help here, Cnewmark (talk) 15:33, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cnewmark: I've cross-referenced this material, and everything looks accurate. I see no issue with replacing the current content with this. Dwightny7 (talk) 15:45, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cnewmark: Dwightny7 I am closing this edit request because it looks like it was fulfilled in March. If this is not the case, can you open a new edit request at the bottom of this talk page? Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 19:18, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Philanthropy

[edit]

As far back as 2004, Newmark was using his wealth to support philanthropic causes.[1] In 2006, The Guardian reported that Newmark was "readying his armoury of cash to invest in citizen journalism projects".[2] He also donated $20,000 to the non-profit NewAssignment.Net, a group attempting to combine the work of amateurs and professionals to produce investigative stories on the Internet.[3] His philanthropic interests have also included environmental issues, as well as veterans affairs.[4] He reportedly dubbed himself "Nerd-in-Residence" while consulting for the Center for Innovation of the Department of Veterans Affairs.[5] In recent years, Newmark has directed his philanthropic efforts towards nonprofits working on journalism ethics and security, cybersecurity, and election integrity.[6]

In 2011, Newmark launched craigconnects, a non-profit initiative to support the efforts of other non-profits and public service organizations working in the areas of global poverty, the Middle East, veterans affairs, and low-income neighborhoods.[7] In 2015, he founded Craig Newmark Philanthropies,[8] which acts as an umbrella for his other foundations,[6] such as his private charitable foundation, to which he contributed $50 million in 2016 to support military families, voter registration efforts, and women in technology.[9]

In January 2017, TechCrunch reported that Newmark donated $500,000 to Wikipedia's attempt at "reducing harassment and vandalism on the site and improve the tools moderators use every day to keep the peace".[10]

Between 2016 and 2020, Newmark donated $170 million to support journalism, combating harassment of journalists, cybersecurity, and election integrity. Donations he made include: $1 million each to ProPublica and the Poynter Institute in 2017,[9] $1 million to the Global Cyber Alliance, $150,000 to Women in CyberSecurity, $250,000 to PEN America, and $250,000 to the Girl Scouts for cybersecurity programs. In September 2018, he gave $20 million to fund the creation The Markup, a non-profit news organization.[11] In 2018, Newmark's donations totaled $143 million.[12] That year, Newmark donated $1 million to Mother Jones to help the magazine combat fake news.[13] In 2019, he donated $6 million to Consumer Reports to fund a Digital Lab focused on consumer privacy rights and digital security.[14] Newmark made a $20 million endowment to the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, which was subsequently renamed the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.[9] According to The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Newmark's donations in 2020 included giving $1 million to the Anti-Defamation League, $388,000 to the American Press Institute, and $350,000 to the Feminist Majority Foundation and Ms. magazine. [6] Bloomberg News reported that Newmark donated $10 million charities focused on hunger issues in 2020, as well.[15]

Newmark gave $5 million to the Poynter Institute, which used the funds to establish the Craig Newmark Center for Ethics and Leadership. Newmark's previous donation of $1 million to the Poynter established the Craig Newmark Journalism Ethics Chair. He also gave $10 million to Columbia University to establish a center for journalism ethics and security, as well as a professorship.[16]

Other examples of organizations and causes Newmark has supported include: OneVoice,[1] Sunlight Foundation,[4] Voto Latino,[17] the Center for Public Integrity, the Center for Investigative Reporting, PolitiFact,[18] Poynter Institute, Columbia Journalism Review and Girls Who Code.[19][20][4]The Center for Public Integrity, Columbia's Tow Center for Digital Journalism, Wikimedia, The Ground Truth Project, and the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Berkeley Center for New Media.[21][22] He has given $100,000 to support wildlife rescue groups.[11] In 2015, he donated $10,000 to Grow It Green Morristown for the installation of a composting toilet at the Early Street Community Garden. The facility was named "Craig Newmark Memorial Latrine #2". The first toilet Newmark sponsored was in the City of Jericho.[4]

Updates

[edit]

Folks, I'm here with a few requested updates for my bio. I will not edit the article myself, since I am the subject.

  • I now live full time in New York. Would it be possible to update Personal life to just say "As of 2022, he lived in New York City"? This source refers to me as a "recent transplant to New York City".
  • In an effort to keep the article up to date, I've got a couple additions to suggest for the Philanthropy section:
  • $5 million to Consumer Reports for their cybersecurity information label project. Here is CR's story on the project. Inside Cybersecurity also covered it here.
  • $1.7 million to UC Berkeley for cybersecurity clinics. The story from UC Berkeley and another by The Daily Californian.

Feel free to reach out with questions. I will defer to editors to determine what changes are appropriate. Appreciate the help. Much thanks, Cnewmark (talk) 18:51, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Cnewmark made the change to the location, I can't see that being too contentious. Not doing the others just yet. I may come back to it.
My 2p: I think the section is growing out of proportion to the rest of the page and it reads like spaghetti.. so I it needs some work before just adding some more to the bottom of the stack, it's a bit WP:Proseline and could do with re-organizing into categories or 'causes'. If anyone wants to come in an boldly make some changes related to the donations while I meditate on this please feel free, I have low brain width right now JeffUK 22:00, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff, this is very appreciated! I guess you're right that the philanthropy section needs work, maybe per my focus areas. I'm not sure how I ethically suggest that. To that point, one focus area is trustworthy journalism and countering disinformation, which includes heavy support for Wikipedia. That includes repetition of my phrase: "Wikipedia is where facts go to live." I need to talk to advisors regarding all this. Many thanks! Cnewmark (talk) 13:30, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Craig, I'm wondering whether you have got any updates on this? Because otherwise, I'd mark the edit request as answered. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 09:44, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Philanthropy update

[edit]

Folks, I have some proposed updates to the Philanthropy section that I would like editors to consider.

JeffUK noted that this section needed some reworking, would welcome your feedback.

This draft generally cleans up the copy, adds subsections, removes smaller details, and adds information on my recent activities with veterans and such.

Hi Spintendo, thanks for your review and notes. For more context, JeffUK had previously indicated that the Philanthropy section could use a rework and suggested I attempt to make it more concise. This post here is my attempt at that. Here is a more detailed breakdown of what my draft seeks to accomplish:
  • Add the following subsections: Veterans, Cybersecurity, Journalism, and Other
  • Reorganize many sentences to be placed in the appropriate subsection (if a sentence is not listed below, it was unchanged and remains somewhere in the section)
  • Change the following sentence from "His philanthropic interests have also included environmental issues, as well as veterans affairs." to "His philanthropic interests include journalism, cyber security, and more."
  • Delete the following sentence: "In recent years, Newmark has directed his philanthropic efforts towards nonprofits working on journalism ethics and security, cybersecurity, and election integrity."
    • Reason: To avoid redundancies in this section.
  • Delete the following sentence: "In 2011, Newmark launched Craigconnects, a non-profit initiative to support the efforts of other non-profits and public service organizations working in the areas of global poverty, the Middle East, veterans affairs, and low-income neighborhoods."
    • Reason: This information is outdated and redundant.
  • Change the sentence "Donations he made include: $1 million each to ProPublica and the Poynter Institute in 2017, $1 million to the Global Cyber Alliance, $150,000 to Women in CyberSecurity, $250,000 to PEN America, and $250,000 to the Girl Scouts for cybersecurity programs." to "Between 2016 and 2020, Newmark donated $170 million to support journalism, combating harassment of journalists, cybersecurity, and election integrity, including $1 million each to ProPublica and the Poynter Institute in 2017."
  • Add the following sentence: "In 2021, Newmark donated $5 million to the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School."
  • Change the following paragraph from "In 2021, Newmark's philanthropic efforts continued to address cybersecurity, misinformation, journalism, and food security. He supported the Institute for Security and Technology's anti-ransomware program; a six-month study on misinformation and disinformation by the Aspen Institute’s Commission on Information Disorder;the establishment of the Institute for Rebooting Social Media at Harvard University; the Reporters Without Borders Journalism Trust Initiative; and provided funding to expand PBS NewsHour's coverage of underrepresented communities. According to Newmark, as of May 2021 he'd given a total of $25 million to organizations working on food security, including $300,000 to the DC Central Kitchen." to "In 2021, Newmark supported the establishment of the Institute for Rebooting Social Media at Harvard University; the Reporters Without Borders Journalism Trust Initiative; and provided funding to expand PBS NewsHour's coverage of underrepresented communities. As of 2022, it was estimated that Newmark had given between $180 million and $200 million for journalism and fighting disinformation.
Other journalistic causes Newmark has supported include: the Center for Public Integrity, the Center for Investigative Reporting, PolitiFact, Poynter Institute, Columbia Journalism Review. Columbia's Tow Center for Digital Journalism, The GroundTruth Project, and the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Berkeley Center for New Media."
  • Delete the following sentences: "In 2022, Newmark's long-standing commitment to supporting digital securities continued, with $50 million worth of commitments. The pledges are in support of a broad coalition of organisation dedicated to educating, and protecting Americans from cybersecurity threats, providing measures to provide cybersecurity career opportunities, recommending and aid in development of cybersecurity tools, evolving the usability and service of cybersecurity tools and services and aiding big tech companies who contribute to equitable cybersecurity."
    • Reason: New content will explain this commitment more in-depth.
  • Replace the paragraph "Other examples of organizations and causes Newmark has supported include: OneVoice, Sunlight Foundation, Voto Latino, the Center for Public Integrity, the Center for Investigative Reporting, PolitiFact, Poynter Institute, Columbia Journalism Review and Girls Who Code. The Center for Public Integrity, Columbia's Tow Center for Digital Journalism, Wikimedia Foundation, The Ground Truth Project, and the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Berkeley Center for New Media. He has given $100,000 to support wildlife rescue groups. In 2015, he donated $10,000 to Grow It Green Morristown for the installation of a composting toilet at the Early Street Community Garden. The facility was named "Craig Newmark Memorial Latrine #2". The first toilet Newmark sponsored was in the City of Jericho." with "Other examples of organizations and causes Newmark has supported include: OneVoice, Sunlight Foundation, Voto Latino, and the Wikimedia Foundation He has given $100,000 to support wildlife rescue groups."
  • Add the following sentence: "Newmark has said that he is involved in pigeon rescue."
  • Add the following paragraph: "In 2022, Newmark committed $50 million to the Cyber Civil Defense initiative. As of April 2022, approximately $30 of this commitment had been awarded. In 2023,Craig Newmark Philanthropies announced it would double its donations from $50 million to $100 million for fighting cyber threats."
  • Reword and move information in the following paragraph throughout the Philanthropy section: "Between 2016 and 2020, Newmark donated $170 million to support journalism, combating harassment of journalists, cybersecurity, and election integrity. Donations he made include: $1 million each to ProPublica and the Poynter Institute in 2017, $1 million to the Global Cyber Alliance, $150,000 to Women in CyberSecurity, $250,000 to PEN America, and $250,000 to the Girl Scouts for cybersecurity programs. In September 2018, he gave $20 million to fund the creation of The Markup, a non-profit news organization. In 2018, Newmark's donations totaled $143 million."
  • Delete the following: "$388,000 to the American Press Institute, and $350,000 to the Feminist Majority Foundation and Ms. magazine."
    • Reason: These are minor donations compared to others and I sought to shorten the paragraph by removing anything minor.
  • Add the following sentence: "In 2022, Newmark donated $81 million through the Craig Newmark Foundation and Craig Newmark Philanthropic Fund so he ranked on Chronicle of Philanthropy's top 50 again."
  • Add the following sentence: "Craig Newmark Philanthropies announced a $2.95 million grant in 2022 to The Bob Woodruff Foundation's Got Your 6 Network. In total, Craig Newmark Philanthropies has reported more than $18 million in contributions to military and veteran communities."
  • Add the following sentence: "Newmark donated $1 million in 2023 to Blue Star Families."
I hope you find this helpful, but also realize there is a lot to digest. Would it be helpful for me to make a diff in my user space? Let me know how else I can assist you on this. Much thanks. Cnewmark (talk) 17:03, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Philanthropy section reorganization and additions

[edit]

Spintendo, I saw you removed the suggestions from the previous request. Since all that remains are the reorganization and additions, here is a draft of how I envision the section looking with my remaining suggestions:

Philanthropy

Philanthropy
As far back as 2004, Newmark was using his wealth to support philanthropic causes.[1] His philanthropic interests include journalism and cyber security.[2] In 2015, he founded Craig Newmark Philanthropies,[3] which acts as an umbrella for his other foundations,[4] such as his private charitable foundation, to which he contributed $50 million in 2016 to support military families, voter registration efforts, and women in technology.[5] In 2018, Newmark's donations totaled $143 million.[6]

Here is a specific breakdown of what I am suggesting is to be added or reorganized:

  • Add the following subsections: Veterans, Cybersecurity, Journalism, and Other
    • This does not have any specific sources but I think you will find that if the other sentences are approved, this reorganization will go a long way to making the section more readable.
  • Change the following sentence from "His philanthropic interests have also included environmental issues, as well as veterans affairs." to "His philanthropic interests include journalism, cyber security, and more."[1]
  • Add the following sentence: "In 2021, Newmark donated $5 million to the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School."[2]
  • Change the following paragraph from "In 2021, Newmark's philanthropic efforts continued to address cybersecurity, misinformation, journalism, and food security. He supported the Institute for Security and Technology's anti-ransomware program; a six-month study on misinformation and disinformation by the Aspen Institute’s Commission on Information Disorder;the establishment of the Institute for Rebooting Social Media at Harvard University; the Reporters Without Borders Journalism Trust Initiative; and provided funding to expand PBS NewsHour's coverage of underrepresented communities. According to Newmark, as of May 2021 he'd given a total of $25 million to organizations working on food security, including $300,000 to the DC Central Kitchen." to "In 2021, Newmark supported the establishment of the Institute for Rebooting Social Media at Harvard University;[3] the Reporters Without Borders Journalism Trust Initiative;[4] and provided funding to expand PBS NewsHour's coverage of underrepresented communities.[5]
As of 2022, it was estimated that Newmark had given between $180 million and $200 million for journalism and fighting disinformation.[2]
Other journalistic causes Newmark has supported include: the Center for Public Integrity, the Center for Investigative Reporting, PolitiFact,[6] Poynter Institute, Columbia Journalism Review.[7][1] Columbia's Tow Center for Digital Journalism, The GroundTruth Project, and the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Berkeley Center for New Media.[8][9]
  • Replace the paragraph "Other examples of organizations and causes Newmark has supported include: OneVoice, Sunlight Foundation, Voto Latino, the Center for Public Integrity, the Center for Investigative Reporting, PolitiFact, Poynter Institute, Columbia Journalism Review and Girls Who Code. The Center for Public Integrity, Columbia's Tow Center for Digital Journalism, Wikimedia Foundation, The Ground Truth Project, and the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Berkeley Center for New Media. He has given $100,000 to support wildlife rescue groups. In 2015, he donated $10,000 to Grow It Green Morristown for the installation of a composting toilet at the Early Street Community Garden. The facility was named "Craig Newmark Memorial Latrine #2". The first toilet Newmark sponsored was in the City of Jericho." with "Other examples of organizations and causes Newmark has supported include: OneVoice,[10] Sunlight Foundation,[1] Voto Latino,[11] and the Wikimedia Foundation[8] He has given $100,000 to support wildlife rescue groups.[12] Newmark has said that he is involved in pigeon rescue.[13]"
  • Reword and move information in the following paragraph throughout the Philanthropy section: "Between 2016 and 2020, Newmark donated $170 million to support journalism, combating harassment of journalists, cybersecurity, and election integrity. Donations he made include: $1 million each to ProPublica and the Poynter Institute in 2017, $1 million to the Global Cyber Alliance, $150,000 to Women in CyberSecurity, $250,000 to PEN America, and $250,000 to the Girl Scouts for cybersecurity programs. In September 2018, he gave $20 million to fund the creation of The Markup, a non-profit news organization. In 2018, Newmark's donations totaled $143 million."
    • This information would be redistributed throughout the subsections I suggested. It's all already in the article and sourced. Please see my draft as presented earlier in this request for clarification on how this redistribution would work.
  • Add the following sentence: "In 2022, Newmark donated $81 million through the Craig Newmark Foundation and Craig Newmark Philanthropic Fund so he ranked on Chronicle of Philanthropy's top 50 again.[13]"
  • Add the following sentence: "Craig Newmark Philanthropies announced a $2.95 million grant in 2022 to The Bob Woodruff Foundation's Got Your 6 Network. In total, Craig Newmark Philanthropies has reported more than $18 million in contributions to military and veteran communities.[14]"

Please let me know if I can clarify in any way. Cnewmark (talk) 19:08, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cnewmark  Not done for now: Please establish a consensus with editors engaged in the subject area before using the {{Edit COI}} template for this proposed change. Thank you for your reply it's much appreciated. In answer to your question about the deleted content, I had asked for you to provide text that you wanted to have removed from the article. You provided that text, and I removed the text that you suggested, replacing it with the text from your proposal which I felt passed WP:BALASP. Please note that a description of isolated philanthropic events and news reports related to the subject may be verifiable and impartial, but can still be found to be disproportionate to their overall significance to the article's topic. In the COI edit request process, a reviewing editor must weigh all of these philanthropic items together and decide which to place in the article and which to leave out, according to their best judgment. The COI editor is of course welcome to seek a more broader consensus from local editors here on the talk page if they're seeking to include a larger amount of this content than what was approved. I would be happy to step aside and let that happen if you wish. That process (of seeking a broader consensus) should take place before using the {{Edit COI}} template (which is mostly for when you want one editor to handle your request). Whichever process you ultimately choose is completely up to you. All of us are here to help in any way we can. Just let us know. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  23:16, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Spintendo, thanks! I do want to seek input from more editors

on this talk page based on your feedback. Cnewmark (talk) 15:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cnewmark Hello, I am running across both 2015 and 2016 as the founding year for CN Philanthropies. Would you please help set the record straight regarding the founding years for both CN Philanthropies and The CN Foundation. Thanks! Jess (talk) 17:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JeffUK Hello, I'm sending along this note based on your earlier suggestion for a rewrite of the Philanthropy section. If you have time to take a look at it below I think a final check on the references and links would be beneficial. In either case it seems close to me. I am waiting for a minor clarification from subject person Craig Newmark. Unless there are more suggestions to consider I plan to move this onto the main article page by, say, next weekend. Thank you for your time. Jess (talk) 16:51, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Spintendo Hello, (love your user name and icon design) I have made some edits to the Craig Newmark Philanthropy section as explained in my note below. Please give it a read-through if your time permits. I hope to go live by next weekend. Thanks! Jess (talk) 16:51, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@JStengel  New edits on Talk Page Only - Philanthropy section suggestions attempted: ♫ I liked the idea of the rewrite for this Philanthropy section, so I took a couple of passes at pulling it together. I mostly drew on what others had suggested. I edited minor elements without mention. I combed through each sentence suggested in both the collapsible section and the section with the general guideline suggestions, which follows below the collapsable green bar section. In some cases moving a specific donation e.g. Consumer Reports to Cybersecurity from Journalism, and the PEN America sentence the opposite way, etc. I tried to make it more chronological. Generally, I added external links to some non-wiki-listed elements and bracketed [[ ]] those that have a Wiki page where I had the time, and I am thinking that sort of thing can be polished later. I left extra spaces between some lines for readability during this phase, i.e. prior to going "live".

Notes about the references: The soft paywalls (e.g. just giving your ID info and you're in, Ref#4 "The Philanthropy 50") should not be an issue. The hard paywalls that want money to get past, like "Inside Philanthropy" Refs# 9 & 18, might be a slight bummer for some, but I think acceptable for a Wikipedia reference in this case. These references had errors and I fixed them. #10, #21, #22. I added one, Ref#35. All those reference numbers still refer to the starting draft numbers on the list of suggestions from Craig Newmark. Except of course for the one I added. Where I had to delete a bad one and replace it with a good reference and link, well, other editors will have to think about those. Ask if you've got questions and I'll respond.

I foresee going "live" as a two-and-a-half step process. #1 replacing the current content with the consensus content, #2 making sure those pesky refs match up, and #2.5 a "final" check.

I think we’re close, eh?

Thank you very much Jess I will review these suggestions and get back to you along with my answers to your questions before the weekend. Cnewmark (talk) 13:27, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As promised, [User:Jstengel|Jess]], I have some feedback for you

and answers to your questions. First, I think the edits you proposed look good and if you want to implement it, I have no suggestions for you.

To answer your question: 2015 would be the year for CN

Philanthropies and CN Foundation. Cnewmark (talk) 13:24, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Jess I saw you have updated the Philanthropy section. It was a pleasure working with you. Cnewmark (talk) 20:19, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Hello User:ArcticSeeress Thank you for being an editor. I noticed you removed a number of external links from the Craig_Newmark page. May I please know if these changes are based on the Wiki Manual of Style Guidlines or personal preference, or both, and moreover, your interpretation and opinion about the Manual's suggestion that inline external links "slow the reader down"? My feeling is that these links, not only in this article but in general, help readers by providing inline options to follow for more info, or not follow, at their will and based on their current knowledge. I therefore feel the opposite of what the Manual suggests, that in fact such links speed the learning process and that dead links can be removed by BOTS and flaged for updates if/as needed. I feel some if not all of the external links in the Newmark article should be restored or placed somewhere within the article for the reason(s) stated. Mostly, to speed learning at the readers option. I would have to re-read the entire article and check every ref again to determine whether the knowledge provided by the removed external links is present elsewhere and before I try and find the time to do that I wanted to touch base with you to understand your thinking, intent, and perhaps share other ideas you may have regarding this process in general and how it may relate to this article. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jstengel (talk • contribs) 23:17, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
