Arbitrary?

In reference to the COVID-19 Early Treatment fund, how exactly is it arbitrary to expand the article with high-profile examples of the donors? I fail to see how this is either "link spamming" or "arbitrary" as was alleged in the reversion to my edit. It's clearly already part of the article, and the donors I added are all notable. I request further elaboration. Liaton9000 (talk) 00:26, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

They might be notable but not to this article, notable to the fund if that had an article. They are not specific to this WP:BLP and its a clear WP:NPOV as they are randomly choosen, supposedely high-profile indidivuals - name choosen from the list itself, out a list of 40-50 odd. They don't add anything to the article as they are specific to the fund and not Kirsch himself. I think it also slightly promotional. Why did you choose these names? scope_creepTalk 00:38, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Okay, I can live with that. Thanks for explaining - though the list of donors is significantly smaller than 40-50. I selected those names as they were the ones that already had their own pages. Liaton9000 (talk) 01:05, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 21 July 2022

At several points in this article Steve Kursch's comments about Covid-19 vaccines have misleadingly been labelled as 'misinformation'. These statements are not only inaccurate but also highly biased. Given that Wikipedia is supposed to be a neutral website, presenting neutral, factual information, I believe such statements have no place in this article and should be reworded to factually present Mr. Kirsch's words.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:26, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
It's more complicated than "Neutral website". More at WP:NPOV/WP:NOTNEUTRAL, if you're interested. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:04, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
stating that Mr. Kirsch is spreading misinformation is misinformation. In the third sentence it says “Kirsch has been both a philanthropic supporter of medical research, and a promoter of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.” It should read “Kirsch has been both a philanthropic supporter of medical research, and has been alleged by those invested in covid-19 vaccines as a promoter of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.” 2603:6081:4040:80:5D09:ACFE:2C8:B767 (talk) 23:53, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
He’s on record saying false things about the Covid vaccine so it is not alleged; it is factual. 74.15.199.244 (talk) 22:56, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Sez you ... with no reference to any source. Do you really expect the article to be changed on the say-so an anonymous drive-by rando? 2600:8802:571B:E00:A43E:79C6:B4C3:B6BC (talk) 20:03, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
The sources are in the article, in the section "Vaccine misinformation". It's not really that difficult. --Hob Gadling (talk) 09:40, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
