message: I assume the tag about libellous material is related to past text no longer included in the article? There are any number of great stories about Diamond's, er, 'singular' approach to dealing with cleaning and catering staff at Barclay's Capital, for instance.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.180.14 (talk) 22:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone with an anonymous IP edited the article to add Bob Diamond to the category American Jews. Is this true? I've removed it unless someone can give a source. 
The only other edit by that IP was to do the same to the article on Marcus Agius -- I've reverted that pending evidence as well.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.221.185.79 (talk) 18:23, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Jewish?

message: A recent edit added "He is now a senior lecturer at Yale University School of Management" but Diamond's name doesn't appear in the Faculty Directory. A Guardian article says "...after his resignation, Diamond has said little in public, apart from giving the occasional lecture at Yale." but this doesn't necessarily mean he is a senior lecturer. Please feel free to reinstate the claim if a reliable source can be found. Gareth Jones (talk) 21:00, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: "Because of a noncompete agreement with Barclays, Diamond is prevented from starting a new business or going to another company until this summer. But he has been flying all over the world, talking with academic experts and investors, floating his idea of creating a merchant bank that advises and buys stakes in businesses in Africa and Europe. His thesis is that Africa, where he spent the past decade building Barclays Capital and donating much of his family’s foundation money, is going to be one of the fastest-growing regions in the world. And his other thesis is that Europe’s banking system is going to be dismantled, so opportunities to buy pieces on the cheap will be abundant."
rather than mentioning a specific Yale connection. Gareth Jones (talk) 16:01, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Bob Diamond (banker) →  – This entry was created as "Robert Diamond" on August 3, 2005 and remained under that main title header for more than six years until it was unilaterally moved to "Bob Diamond (banker)" on October 8, 2011. Although he is indeed frequently referenced as "Bob Diamond", sources such as The New York Times or Barclays itself indicate his name in its full form. Either returning the header to its previous form, "Robert Diamond" or moving it to the full form, "Robert E. Diamond Jr.", would additionally obviate the need for the parenthetical qualifier "(banker)". — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:04, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
