Talk:Gary Cohn

message: Cohn is involved in other organizations. I believe this is wiki-worthy and part of what an encyclopedia should be included in the article. Please give guidance on the best way to include the information which can be sourced to the organizations themselves, and not necessarily in a third party source. I tried to add the following two bits of info: a)Mr. Cohn is a member of the International Advisory Panel of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, (MAS). b)Mr. Cohn serves as a trustee and chair of the NYU Langone Musculoskeletal Advisory Board. the references are to: http://www.mas.gov.sg/about-mas/overview/advisory-committees/international-advisory-panel and http://nyulangone.org/press-releases/over-62-million-raised-nyu-langone-medical-centers-2014-violet-ball

message: User:Brianhe: You added a close connection tag in June 2015. It's now February 2016 and it's still there. I think we should try to be more constructive and find ways to remove it. What sounds particularly POV to you? Is it the "personality and work style" subsection?Zigzig20s (talk) 03:49, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Close connection 

message: In the introduction it says "Cohn is a registered Democrat, but has donated extensively to the Republican Party.[3]". This is completely true, but might be a bit misleading, especially with the "but" after the registered Democrat, so that one might find it implied, that, while he is a registered Democrat, his donation record would place him rather with the Republicans (than the democrats). This would not be true/complicated as Cohn has all in all contributed a bit more to Democrats, although his more recent donations go more to Republicans (1).
I would propose changing the wording a bit to one of the following (changes in bold):
- Cohn is a registered Democrat, but has donated extensively to Republicans and Democrats. (did donate to candidates, not just the party; see opensecrets-link)
- Cohn is a registered Democrat, but has donated extensively to both parties.
- Cohn is a registered Democrat, but has donated extensively to the Republican Party as well. (best in my opinion)
If nobody has any concerns/alternatives I will probably change the article in the next days (you can go ahead if you want)
+ Is he really still a registered Democrat?
(1) source: https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-11-29/goldman-s-cohn-to-meet-with-trump-amid-transition-consultations; starting third paragraph after Goldman Sachs as sub-headline. More recent most to Republicans strongly implied, but not definitely stated ("But he’s also donated more than $225,000 to Republicans, with most of the money coming in recent years."). If I understood opensecrets-search correctly, that is his donation record, if sb. wants to and go through it independetly (didn't do it myself exactly as of now; alternative to open-secrets e.g. http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/gary-cohn.asp?cycle=16).
