Talk:Transparency International

message: The Guardian has published an article about the presence of members of TI at the 2015 Bilderberg meeting , noting, of course, "the howling contradiction of being on the steering committee of the world’s most secretive policy summit and also on the advisory council of Transparency International USA".
I believe this is a highly significant criticism that should be added to the article. Dornicke (talk) 17:35, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

message: I would like to flag in line with the Wiki CoI guidelines that I am working at Transparency International e.V. I am therefore not making any changes to this article myself but am posting my concerns about a specific topic on this talk page. At the same time, this is not an official Wikipedia account of the organisation, and I am not representing the organisation through this account:
In the section on “controversies” there is a paragraph on “Political activities in Brazil”. In this paragraph it is stated that severe misconduct has been committed by Transparency International.
The relevant statements are the following:
1.     “In these, chief prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol and head of TI Brazil, Bruno Brandão, discuss a "backstage campaign" to "disarm resistance on the left", fund selected candidates, and target others, seen as adversaries, using social media.”
2.     “Plans extended to preparing a series of false accusations ("denúncias sem materialidade") intended to damage the reputation of former president and potential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, […]”
3.     “[…] and lead up to a chat in which participants celebrate the election of Jair Bolsonaro.
These are incorrect factual claims. Neither are the disputed claims proven facts, nor do the linked sources support the claims. Even if it was worded as a disputed allegation, the provided sources do not support the accusations. The sources do e.g. not support the claims that the Executive Director of TI Brazil celebrated the election of Jair Bolsonaro, or that he prepares a series of false accusations to damage the reputation of Lula da Silva.
I therefore ask the Wikipedia community to double check those claims and the provided sources for their accuracy and reliability. Should the sources not support the claims, then it should be corrected accordingly, or reliable sources should be provided.  
I would like to further flag that the allegations are focusing on a living person, the Executive Director of TI Brazil. In line with Wikipedia policies, high-quality sources are necessary in cases like this:
“All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by an inline citation to a reliable, published source. Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—must be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.”
Furthermore, there should be a clear differentiation between TI e.V. and the National Chapter in Brazil. Both organisations are separate legal entities in their respective country.
I am looking forward to a review of the paragraph in question.
Thanks! Transparency 24 (talk) 15:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
