Speedy deletion nomination of Category:CIA World Factbook images[edit]
A tag has been placed on Category:CIA World Factbook images indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 01:29, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Willett Advisors[edit]
Hello, I work for Steven Rattner. A few weeks ago I posted an edit request at the talk page of Steve's investment firm Willett Advisors (which handles Michael Bloomberg's personal and philanthropic funds) - at Talk:Willett Advisors#Updates to the article. Initially, an editor responded to the request to ask for clarification, but he has basically been inactive over the past month and a half and has not followed up. I see that you've contributed significantly to the Michael Bloomberg article over the years, so I thought you might be an appropriate person to take a look and consider making the changes I've proposed. Thank you! E at rattner (talk) 17:37, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Edelman Family Foundation[edit]
Hi @Neutrality
I am reaching out to you because of your previous participation in one of the discussions regarding the reliability and neutrality of HuffPost/Pink News/ProPublica as sources used on Wikipedia.
Currently, there is an ongoing issue with the Edelman Family Foundation section in the Joseph Edelman Wikipedia article. The section appears to be biased and lacks a balanced representation of the foundation's activities, as it primarily focuses on a single controversial donation while neglecting to mention the organization's numerous other significant contributions to various causes.
I would like to invite you to participate in the discussion on the BLP Noticeboard to address the concerns surrounding the section's neutrality and explore ways to improve its content. Llama Tierna (talk) 18:18, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Talk page to move[edit]
Please also move Talk:Consciousness of guilt (legal) to Talk:Consciousness of guilt. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:52, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 6[edit]
An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Robert C. O'Brien, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jack Smith.
