message: I have nominated the bottom section as a candidate for cleanup. The second "Bigelow" description reads like a vanity page entry, and I was unable to find anything on Google about a "Bigelow manoeuvre" except citations of this Wikipedia entry.

message: Is Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Brin notable enough for inclusion? 
: According to a court filing, Epstein advised Brin from 2004 to 2007, including guidance on how to set up a tax shelter — a tax-saving trust for Brin’s kids called a grantor-retained annuity trust, or GRAT — with bankers at JPMorgan Chase. Brin had become a client of the bank in 2004 following a referral from Epstein and subsequently held more than $4 billion in accounts there. The Wall Street Journal notes that Epstein helped billionaire and Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black set up a similar tax shelter. Epstein’s relationship with Brin came to light in an August 2023 court filing by the U.S. Virgin Islands in its civil suit against JPMorgan over the bank’s relationship with Epstein.

thread_title:  Jeffrey Epstein  

message: It's absurd that this article doesn't say how "Brin" is pronounced. To assume that everybody already knows is unjustifiably presumptuous.
I can think of at least two different ways to pronounce it in English (rhyming with "grin" or rhyming with "green"), which for this English encyclopedia is more important than how it is pronounced in Russian.
The vast majority of readers here will never need to say his name in Russian but will definitely need to say it in English if they ever talk about him. Giving the pronunciation in English IPA would be best, respelling second best, but even "rhymes with 'grin'", etc, would be better than the nothing it gives now.
Someone made this request in an earlier, archived section, but it was effectively ignored. PLEASE don't sweep it under the rug again. How to pronounce an important person's name is not a trivial concern. —38.49.72.17 (talk) 01:36, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

"[Header:]Revival
On August 12, 2018, Rowe posted on Facebook that "the idea is being floated around" to reboot Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel.[9] On November 3, 2019, Rowe wrote that "there's been a lot of chatter about a reboot, and I’m open to it. So too, is (producer Dave) Barsky. Stay tuned…"
On June 23, 2020, it was announced that a spin-off titled Dirty Jobs: Rowe'd Trip had finished filming and would premiere on July 7, 2020. Rowe mentioned that the spin-off happened because the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted plans to film episodes in the original Dirty Jobs format.
On November 15, 2021, Discovery, Inc. announced that Dirty Jobs would return, again with Rowe as host. The premiere of the revived series aired on Discovery and Discovery+ on January 2, 2022."
