Talk:Rockefeller Foundation

message: Is the Foundation still around because it continues to get donations, or just because it has earned income on investments greater than 5% per year (to meet the IRS minimum donation amount)?  Could it decide to spend itself out of existence?  What are the constraints on the scope of its activities? -- Beland 02:37, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Rflogo1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Request for articles

message: "Rockefeller Fellowship" redirects to this article, yet there is not a list saying who actually received a fellowship.  Is there a historical site listing who was granted it, or a list buried somewhere the wiki? 71.234.215.133 (talk) 08:43, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fellowships 

message: This reference seems out of place. I think might better be placed along with the descriptions of "notable" funded research in Early grants and connections. Medmyco (talk) 05:50, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello: I wanted to share that I will be working on modifications and additions to this page soon. I have just started a COI/paid relationship with the Rockefeller Foundation. I have not made edits to this page before. User:Blablubbs, I see you have put an undisclosed payment banner on the page. It looks like there is certainly cause for this addition. Can you let me know what work we would need to do to eventually get that removed? Also, any users that watch this page, I'd be grateful for future assistance. They will be requesting to add new material, but the back section could use some organization and citations. It seems that in some areas there may also be some unnecessary content, like a couple of sentences on scientific neutrality in the section on the 1920s hookworm program. I will ask for input when we get to those sections. Actually, I'll ask for input and assistance on all my requests. Thank you in advance for your attention. Best!

thread_title:  COI Editing Notice 

message: I do not and have never had a COI with the Rockefeller Foundation or any Rockefeller or Rockefeller-affiliated institution, organization, company, project, or person. I once visited their Rockefeller Archive Center for a research project I did as part of an academic institution (Carnegie Mellon, where I studied undergraduate history), but I never was paid or affiliated with the Rockefellers. Though I met one once! I am doing a major cleanup of the article because I enjoy researching the history of public health and find it interesting. Therefore, I am doing major edits and have removed the COI tag from 2 yrs ago. If anyone wants it back please put it back. I am not being paid or compensated or benefitting in any way (other than self-satisfaction and feeding the unhealthy obsession) for any of my work on Wikipedia or this article.
