Requested update (24 April 2025)

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Ida Benedetto (designer). That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 241 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

I am the subject of this article and have prepared an update, with ever effort to be neutral and cite outside sources in my sandbox: User:Idamantium/sandbox. Can this be used to update the main article?

Key changes include:

Lead & infobox—updates to “experience designer” title, removes outdated “artist” label
Career—adds Uncommon Places Design founding date, cleans up consultancy names and order, removes emphasis on short Rockefeller stint
Teaching & speaking—adds verifiable talks (GLF 2022, Harvard xDesign, Cusp 2018, Tribeca 2017, Bloomberg Design) and links to SVA IxD faculty profile
Influence—expandes list of book mentions and adds syllabus uses at UCI, NYU ITP, and Carnegie Mellon
General cleanup—fixes typos, merges duplicate refs, removes self‑published promotional language

Thanks for considering these edits to improve and update the page! –––– Idamantium (talk) 23:11, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A few things (this is not a full review, I have not checked sources):

Education should be prose, not a cv-like bulleted list.
"Benedetto founded Uncommon Places Design in 2021" is uncited
List of selected talks is also cv-like and not needed unless there's something that can said about them beyond "they happened", ideally cited to independent sources
Most of the "Influence" section reads like namedropping, though "experience design specialist and highly creative dyslexic thinker" could possibly be worked in elsewhere and "Patterns of Transformation" being on syllabi makes sense to include if it is discussed elsewhere in the article, which it probably should be. If she is actually a significant influence on the works that are discussed in the "Influence" section then that should be made clear, but as is she may as well be mentioned in a sentence in each for all I know based on the text here

I'm aware some of these issues are in the original text as well, I may update that later as well. Overall: independent sources are your friend if you want to include anything that could be perceived under any circumstance as potentially promotional-seeming.

Thanks for giving this a look over. I've updated the education section to be prose and added a reference for the founding of Uncommon Places Design (just an open gov listing of the LLC registration, so possibly not sufficient).

Agreed that the influences section and list of talks leaves much to be desired. As the subject of the article, I'm finding it quite hard to get an objective enough stance to write helpful article content. Mostly, I'm hoping to have the entry be a bit more current than the existing version.

What do you recommend? I could made more edits based on your suggestions, knowing this will still very much need an editing pass from a disengaged neutral party. I could also gather up sources and quotes to add here on the talk page as fodder for someone else to make edits.

All this is very low priority in the broader Wikipedia land, so I'm just grateful for the care and attention you've brought to this already! Idamantium (talk) 13:45, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ida Benedetto (artist) → Ida Benedetto (designer) – Reliable secondary sources (for example, her SVA faculty profile, Bloomberg Design interview, etc.) describe her primarily as a designer rather than an artist. --Idamantium (talk) 23:48, 20 April 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.
