The CatoKoch stuff is a hot topic If youve watched MSNBC youll see that the Koch family is frequently brought up as a topic As I recall there was considerable WP debate about how much info on the Kochs  Cato should be inserted in both articles And I recall that the note as opposed to inline descriptions or mere footnoting was a compromise WRT the display of info More article history andor talk page review would be needed to confirm this Moreover the Kochs are not a household name like the BF Goodrich Blimp is so a mere wikilink is not enough to satisfy those who want the Koch role in Cato expanded upon  Irregardless sic there is no SYN in the Cato article There is the ongoing corporate support listed in Cato and ongoing corporate support for FEE can be added It is mere background info NPR receives corporate support too   Now if the Cato article had quoted from The Science of Success or other things that the Kochs had written thereby giving us info about the moral beliefs etc of the Kochs and thereby explaining their motivations for fundingsupportingcreating Cato that would be improper SYN
