thread_title:  St. Jude Stashed Away $886 Million in Unspent Revenue Last Year 

message: Hi @Kingapresa @Throast
Thank you again for all your help so far. Here are the requested changes that target neutrality and weasel words! Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
1. In the intro paragraph remove the following sentence:
“St. Jude treats patients up to age 21, and for some conditions, up to age 25.”
Reason: Duplicate content as it is mentioned in the Hospital functions & effects section.
2. Remove the following sentences from the Awards and achievements section:
“St. Jude and over 46 of its staff members have been the recipients of numerous awards and achievements.”
“It has also been named one of the top 10 companies to work for in academia by The Scientist for 7 successive years.”
Reason: Remove for neutrality purposes and the first sentence is vague. 
3. Remove the following paragraph from the Affiliated hospitals section:
“These sites are used as a means of referring eligible patients to St. Jude as well as a location to administer some care. Through the Domestic Affiliates Program staff at St. Jude work together and collaborate with those at the other institutions. Affiliated sites are expected to comply with standards set by St. Jude and are audited to ensure proper and quality care.”
Reason: Remove due to lack of proper third party sourcing. Source that’s currently cited is primary. 
4. Remove the following paragraphs from the Funding section:
“In 2019, ALSAC raised $1.9 billion from donations, of which $975 million (51%) went to St. Jude. The rest of the funds were either spent on functional expenses for ALSAC or added to their fund balance, which totaled $5.7 billion at the end of 2019. In 2020, ALSAC raised $2.4 billion, of which $2 billion were from donations and contributions (84%). $997 million (42%) of this went to St. Jude. At the end of 2020, St Jude's fund balance was $8.03 billion. 74% percent of St. Jude's total budget comes from donations, and the hospital costs about $1.7 million per day to run.”
“All medically eligible patients who are accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family's ability to pay. Families of patients at St. Jude do not pay for treatments that are not covered by insurance, and families without insurance do not need to pay for any expense. All families do not need to pay for travel, housing, or food.
Three separate specially-designed patient housing facilities—Tri Delta Place for short-term (up to one week), Ronald McDonald House for medium-term (one week to 3 months), and Target House for long-term (3 months or more)—provide housing for patients and up to three family members. These policies, along with research expenses and other costs, add up to approximately $1.7 million in operating costs each day.”
Reason: Remove due to lack of proper third party sourcing and neutrality.
5. Remove the following sentences from the Philanthropic aid section:
“To cover operating costs, ALSAC conducts many fund-raising events and activities. The WGC Invitational, a PGA Tour event, is one of the most visible fund-raising events for the hospital. “
“Other fund-raising programs include the St. Jude Math-A-Thon, Up 'til Dawn, direct mailings, radiothons and television marketing.[citation needed]“
Reason: Remove due to lack of proper third party sourcing.
6. Remove the following paragraph from the Thanks and Giving section:
“Corporations give customers a host of opportunities to support St. Jude. The ultimate goal is to increase awareness with the hope that people will come to identify Thanksgiving with St. Jude, said Joyce Aboussie, vice chairwoman of the nonprofit's board. The official kick-off event for the Thanks and Giving campaign is the Give Thanks Walk. This event is a noncompetitive 5K that is now held in 75 cities across the country. Those participating in the race are encouraged to form teams, invite family and friends, and raise money for St. Jude. These walks have raised over $11 million to date.“
Reason: Remove due to lack of proper third party sourcing.
7. Remove the following sentence from the Other funding initiatives section:
“One of the hospital's most recent and successful fund-raising efforts has been the Dream Home Giveaway.[better source needed]“
Reason: Remove due to lack of proper third party sourcing.
8. Remove the following sentence the Other funding initiatives section:
“At various college campuses, some student organizations, fraternities and sororities raise funds in a program called Up 'til Dawn“
And replace with the following sentence:
“Up ‘til Dawn is a program in which college students raise funds for St. Jude.”
Source:
https://www.newhaven.edu/news/releases/2020/st-jude-top-5.php 
Reason: Remove due to lack of proper third party sourcing.
9. Add source to the following sentence:
“Phi Mu Delta National Fraternity is partnered with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.”
Source:
https://myfraternitylife.org/2020/02/25/phi-mu-delta-jams-for-st-jude/ 
Reason: Provide a proper third party source to remove the opinion tag.
10. Edit the following sentence the Other funding initiatives section from:
“Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) a Fraternity partnered with St. Jude, in the 1970s and 1980s to help raise money to fight childhood cancer.”
To:
“Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) a Fraternity partnered with St. Jude, announced a commitment in 2019 to raise $10 million in ten years.”
Source:
https://www.tke.org/st-jude/st-jude-history 
Reason: Rewrite the sentence to support the new third party source.
11. Remove the following sentence the Other funding initiatives section:
“The fraternity renewed its link to St. Jude as its philanthropy of emphasis in 2008.“
Reason: Rewrite the sentence to support the new third party source.
12. Edit the following sentence the Other funding initiatives section from:
“Tri Delta supports St. Jude nationally and supports cancer charities at a local level. At the hospital in Memphis, the sorority donated the Teen Room for teenage patients to relax and spend time with each other. In July 2010, Tri Delta completed its "10 by 10" goal, raising over $10 million in less than four years, six years short of the original goal. Those funds were used to sponsor the Tri Delta Patient Care Floor in the Chili's Care Center. Upon completion of the "10 by 10" campaign, the sorority announced a new fundraising goal of $15 million in 5 years to name the Specialty Clinic located in the Patient Care Center. Three and a half years later, Delta Delta Delta had raised $15 million and completed its goal ahead of schedule.”
To:
Tri Delta has supported St. Jude nationally and sponsored the Tri Delta Patient Care Floor with funds raised in 2010.” 
Reason: Reword to be neutral and properly sourced.
13. Remove the following sentence the Other funding initiatives section:
“Since that time, Kappa Alpha Psi has raised more than $400,000. At the 2008 ALSAC/St. Jude Board and Awards Dinner, Kappa Alpha Psi received the Volunteer Group of the Year Award for their efforts in the inaugural year of the Sunday of Hope program which secured more than 130 churches to participate and raised more than $280,000.“
Reason: Reword to be neutral and properly sourced.
14. Remove the following sentence the Other funding initiatives section:
“Another fundraising is the Country Cares for St. Jude Kids radiothon. During these events, country radio stations around the country allow those involved with St. Jude to share stories with listeners, who are encouraged to donate. The 200 stations involved have helped raise over $400 million since 1989.[citation needed]“
Reason: Replace to be neutral with proper third party sourcing.
15. Replace the sentence above with the following in the Other funding initiatives section:
“The Country Cares radiothon fundraiser began in 1989. Since it started, more than 200 stations have participated and helped raise more than $400 million for St. Jude.”
Source:
https://www.ksnt.com/news/local-stations-taking-part-in-country-cares-for-st-jude-kids-radiothon/ 
Reason: Remove due to lack of proper third party sourcing.
16. Remove the following sentences the Other funding initiatives section:
“Country artists have also supported St. Jude through concerts, hospital visits, call-ins, and other forms of support.
Since 2001 the St. Jude Memphis Marathon has raised over $90 million for the kids and families at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. “
Reason: Remove due to lack of proper third party sourcing.

Tagging you all for visibility! Thank you again for all of your help so far. I have updated this request to include citations, reasons for each ask, and have targeted neutrality and weasel words. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
# In the intro paragraph remove the following sentence:
St. Jude treats patients up to age 21, and for some conditions, up to age 25.
Reason: Duplicate content as it is mentioned in the Hospital functions & effects section.
: As I understand from reading Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section, the lead is meant to summarize info found in the article, so duplication isn't necessarily grounds for removal. I think the age guidelines are important for readers to understand the hospital. I think a better argument could be that the info is poorly sourced (the hospital's website is what Wikipedia refers to as a primary source), but there's no reason to question the accuracy of the info. If the goal is to eventually remove the flags, I don't think this statement matters. STEMinfo (talk) 21:29, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit Request 

message: Hello again,
I have some more requested changes to help improve the page: 
# Change the first sentence in the Hospital functions & effects section to read as follows:
St. Jude began formal global outreach efforts with the establishment of its International Outreach Program in 1993 to improve the survival rates of children with catastrophic illnesses worldwide.
Reason: Provide more context for the section as St. Jude Global has largely replaced The International Outreach Program; that program began in 1993.
2. Remove the current source from this sentence in the Funding section and replace it with the sources below:
The rest of the funds were either spent on functional expenses for ALSAC or added to their fund balance, which totaled $5.7 billion at the end of 2019.
Sources: 
Reason: The sources provided are more recent and updated reflecting the most current financial situation of St. Jude.
3. Remove the following sentence from the Corporate structure section:
As of 2023, the St. Jude Board of Governors Directors is chaired by Judy A. Habib, Paul J. Ayoub and includes Joyce Aboussie, Ruth Gaviria, Tom Penn, and Tony Thomas (producer).
Reason: The board of directors can change frequently so removing this will prevent information from becoming outdated.
4. Change the section title to “Affiliated institutions”
Reason: St. Jude has both hospitals and institutions, however institutions addresses each in the U.S. and internationally.
5. Change the spelling of LeBonheur to “Le Bonheur” in the Affiliated institutions section.
Reason: Fixing incorrect spelling. 
6. Remove the word hospital at the end of the following sentence and add source in the Affiliated institutions section:
Both St. Jude and Le Bonheur are teaching hospitals affiliated with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. University of Tennessee physicians training in pediatrics, surgery, radiology, and other specialties undergo service rotations at St. Jude.
Reason: Providing a Wikipedia approved source for the sentence.
7. Change the sentence below in the Affiliated institutions section to read as follows:
The center is a partner of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and works in association with the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC).
Reason: St. Jude has formal affiliate clinics in the U.S. but not overseas, so affiliate is more appropriate.
8. Change the following paragraph in the Affiliated institutions section to read as follows:
A commitment was made to establish  the US$412 million Inspiration4 Advanced Research Center, which serves to research childhood cancer and catastrophic diseases. The research facility opened in 2021, and is located on the St. Jude campus in Memphis, Tennessee.
Reason: Change tense in paragraph to past and provide Wikipedia approved source.
9. Change the sentence below to read as follows:
From 2002 to 2004, 47% of program expenses went to patient care and 41% to research. 
Reason: Fix minor grammatical issues.
10. Add the following sentence to the Philanthropic aid section:
Since 2002, St. Jude has hosted the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend. It is the hospital’s largest single-day fundraising event.
Reason: The Marathon weekend is a notable event for St. Jude as it is its largest single-day fundraising event.
11. Add the following information to the Other funding initiatives section:
In 2021, Inspiration4, the first all-civilian mission to space, partnered with St. Jude and named the hospital its charitable beneficiary for its space mission. The partnership has raised over $243 million, surpassing its goal of $200 million. After Inspiration4’s space mission landed, Elon Musk pledged $50 million to St. Jude.
Reason: Provide more information on notable funding initiatives. 
12. Remove the following information from the Other funding initiatives section:
Eagles for St. Jude was a program created in 2007 by Stanford Financial Group, when it paid to become title sponsor of the St. Jude Classic, the annual PGA Tour event in Memphis. The program, and sponsorship, ended in February 2009, when it was found that Stanford Financial Group was a Ponzi scheme, having defrauded investors out of $8 billion, with a small fraction of that stolen money having been channeled into the Eagles for St. Jude program.
Reason: This initiative is not notable and this paragraph mainly focuses on other aspects other than St. Jude.
13. Remove the following section and information:
McDonald's Monopoly Game
'''
In 1995, St. Jude received an anonymous letter postmarked in Dallas, Texas, containing a $1 million winning McDonald's Monopoly game piece. McDonald's officials came to the hospital, accompanied by a representative from the accounting firm Arthur Andersen, and verified it as a winner. Although game rules prohibited the transfer of prizes, and even after learning that the piece was sent by an individual involved in an embezzlement scheme intended to defraud McDonald's, McDonald's waived the rule and made the annual $50,000 annuity payments.
Reason: The information in this section is not notable to St. Jude as it focuses heavily Mcdonald’s itself instead of St. Jude. 
14. Add the following section and information to the article: 
Global Partnerships
In May 2018, St. Jude Global was launched as an initiative to bring access to quality care and treatment to children with cancer and other diseases worldwide.
In December 2018, the St. Jude Global Alliance was formed. These institutions collaborate to develop global, regional, and hospital-based initiatives that promote care across the globe. Other related programs include critical and palliative care, pathology and laboratory medicine, disease burden and simulation, health systems, infectious diseases, and nursing.
Reason: Provide more recent and notable funding efforts by St. Jude.
15. Add the following section and information to the article:
World Health Organization
In March 2018, St. Jude and the World Health Organization began a partnership and created the Global Health Initiative for Childhood Cancer. Both organizations committed $15 million to the initiative. The initiative supports over 50 governments globally in building and maintaining cancer programs with a goal of curing 60% of children with six types of cancer by 2030.
In 2021, St. Jude and the WHO launched the Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines. This platform aims to address medicine availability in low and middle-income countries that experience financial hardship as a result of prices, lack of supplies, and out-of-pocket expenses. The Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines builds off of the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer.
Reason: Provide more recent and notable efforts that St. Jude has made to expand information on the page.
Thank you in advance! Please let me know if there is any feedback or questions.

thread_title: Reply 6-NOV-2023

message: Hello! I have a few more requests I would like to see made to the page:
# Add the following information to the end of the Hospital functions and effects section:
All medically eligible patients who are accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family’s ability to pay. Families of patients at St. Jude do not pay for treatments that are not covered by insurance, and families without insurance do not need to pay for any expense. All families do not need to pay for travel, housing, or food. 
Reason: Provide more context surrounding how the hospital functions.
2. Move the following information from the Philanthropic aid section to after the first sentence of the Funding section:
From 2000 to 2005, 83.7% of the funds received by St. Jude went to operations or investments. From 2002 to 2004, 47% of program expenses went to patient care and 41% to research.  In 2012, 81 cents of every dollar donated to St. Jude went directly to its research and treatment.
Reason: This information is more related to the hospital's funding as opposed to philanthropy.
3. Remove the following information from the Funding section:
In 2019, ALSAC raised $1.9 billion from donations, of which $975 million (51%) went to St. Jude. The rest of the funds were either spent on functional expenses for ALSAC or added to their fund balance, which totaled $5.7 billion at the end of 2019.
Reason: This information will change year over year and will need to be updated. To ensure there are no accuracy issues it makes sense to remove it entirely.
4. Add the following information to the end of the Funding section:
In July 2022, St. Jude updated its 6-year financial plan, stating that $1.4 billion dollars would be invested into the institution's operating and capital budget. As part of this expansion, its renovation and capital funding increased to $2.3 billion, with a focus on investments in fundamental science and training for medical professionals on an international level. 
Reason: This helps expand information on the hospital's funding and what is to come in the future without having to constantly update it year after year.
Thank you so much for your help!
