- Compared the current version to the previous, with significant cuts of sections that were well cited and seem to be consistent with other profiles of prominent business people. Revised version is straightforward and free of any questionable content. Suggest removing the flag on this. 130.250.255.163 (talk) 12:27, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- The COI tag was just added by me after I made those edits to remove some of the promotional content. I still have concerns about the neutrality, tone, and sourcing in the article given the apparently repeated and consistent COI editing by single-purpose accounts. In addition to the unsourced content that is still in the article, few of the citations have URL links, and I was not able to verify all the news articles exist or check them to see if the content in the Wikipedia article is an accurate, NPOV, and DUE use of those sources. – notwally (talk) 19:33, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I work for Howard Milstein. In the past I edited without disclosing my conflict of interest, but thanks to some guidance from editors in the community, I have now learned about Wikipedia's policies for conflict of interest editing, and my conflict is disclosed on my user page.
Now that I understand the proper guidelines, I will use the COI tag to request non-promotional, well sourced additions to the page. I hope you'll consider adding the following information to the page.

To the Philanthropy section:
