message: This article seems biased. Here are some examples: 
"...and (he) is truly a multi-faceted individual. He has enjoyed enormous business success, earning a reputation within the investment management industry as an investor extraordinaire. "
"...Mr. Driehaus’ support of the arts is based on his belief that..."
Should this be talking about his "beliefs"? Shouldn't this focus on the facts? 
This seems to be written from the point of view of a biased party. 
It also does not seem to conform to wikipedia formatting standards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrw1234 (talk • contribs) 21:47, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problems With This Entry 

message: The Prize content, here, needn't list so may recent recipients; rather, the section head should refer to the Prize article, and only very limited (recent, very notable) "such as" recipients should appear in this article.

thread_title:  Small matter 

message: A first-pass was performed to move referencing from its sandbox stature (bullet-point interspersions of URLs, bare URLs, etc.) to the beginnings of a more usual usual open bracket-ref-close bracket format. Tags were added at the head and in-line to indicate areas where immediate attention is needed. Note, some references that appear in further reading may be suitable for inline use, but this requires opening each link to verify information—the job of the original contributor, and not easily/wisely performed as a forensic task. If the foregoing editing makes the article seem that it is unready for public viewing, it seems so because it is so. Attention is needed, and readers should be made aware that it is not currently to standard. LeProf 50.179.245.225 (talk) 17:30, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Initial referencing work 

message: There is no question regarding the notability of an individual with the professional and philanthropic history that Mr Driehaus presents; moreover, there is no reason to cast a jaded (oppositely biased) eye on the subject of this article. Available appropriate citation-ready information is very largely positive (see below); Driehaus was among the top 50 philanthropists in the US in 2012. 
Following is a complete list of all articles appearing on the first 6 pages of a Google search of this subject performed on 16 April 2014, exclusive of "hits" to the various Driehaus organizations; it is supplemented only by the first entry, which was generated by an internal search of the NYT. That is, apart from the opening NYT link, this is a list of all Google-identified independent articles, though it includes institutions offering awards and programs endowed by the subject. (Who better to begin the sourcing of a description of this Univ Notre Dame-sponsored architecture prize than the Notre Dame site?) Note, no negative material has been omitted; on those 6 pages of hit results, none was found. The only organizing of the material has been to separate out links to further collections of links (aggregated content) from individual articles, and then for the individual sources, to group more general, reputable national and international sources nearer the top, and to cluster links to the same prize/award/endowment together toward the end.
These links (citations) are offered as research- and citation-ready published articles--substantive future Wikipedia article content--should other editors wish to contribute original, POV-neutral, material to this article. I would also suggest that the google search "richard driehaus site:nytimes.com" and related searches of high quality sources be performed, for further material, by those serious about improving the quality of this article.

If further attention would be paid to this notable individual by editors not associated with the prizes and organizations he has endowed, there would be no need for subject-affiliated individuals to attend to the content of this series of articles to maintain content minimally accurate in scope and substance--and so less cause for the foregoing, almost entirely conservative/redactive recent efforts on this article, described above in Talk. I understand editor concerns on WP puffery and POV matters, and concur with efforts to control such--but as a starting and not an ending point of editing.

thread_title:  Larger matter — opposite bias in ignoring subject, and only approaching article redactively? 

message: ...to make nature of referencing issues clear. Note, the Kirby Talley, Jr.-authored Nickerson Mansion volume is likely self-published by that author.  LeProf 18:14, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Corrected ref. [9] authorship in Museum section, noted citations missing from lede/body, and edited most tags...
