Complaint
[edit]Remove POV check box. The article seems mostly neutral to me. There could be a little less emphasis on the Filipino Community Center, but it's not in dispute that the foundation provides a great deal of money and consequently has many large projects named for it. (See the list of articles linked here for some examples.) HDow (talk) 03:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
It's very unclear what this actually means, and it implies that the 5th Ave coach (in NYC) was in Hawaii.
[edit]"Throughout his career he was known for being a keen judge of undervalued assets, and having the patience to wait for their values to increase.[2] In Honolulu, Hawaii, he repeated this with the Fifth Avenue Coach Company, in Scranton, Pennsylvania and Dallas, Texas. He started buying stock in the Honolulu Rapid Transit Company in 1955, eventually gained control, slashed costs, and then sold it at a profit to the City & County of Honolulu (it is now known as TheBus) in 1971.[3]"

Article problems
[edit]The problems with the article, as noted by the "Unreferenced" and "COI" tags at the top, are that the article has no footnotes or references or sources at all, and that it is gigantically bloated from being added to by Weinberg's nephew [1], [2], who quadrupled the article's word count and removed all of its citations. I think the solution here is to return the article to the state it was before that happened [3] (and do a little cleanup afterwards). If there are any objections to this, let me know.

Anyway, I went ahead and did that, and removed the tags as I did it. (Sorry, mistyped in that edit summary; I typed "uncle" instead of "nephew".) Stophorus (talk) 06:28, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
