Talk:Craig Newmark#Philanthropy section reorganization and additions

{{edit COI|ans=y}}

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.

{{edit COI|ans=y}}

::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::**Reason: This information is outdated and redundant.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)

:@Cnewmark {{Respond|orangeexclamation|Not done for now:}} Please establish a consensus with editors engaged in the subject area before using the {{t|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 {{tlx|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)

: @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)

@JStengel {{Respond|orangeexclamation|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?

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)
