Talk:Anthony Pratt (businessman)

message: This article is pretty hard to follow, with lots of listings of random dinners the subject organised in 2017 - apparently added at the suggestion of an employee - while details like the year Pratt actually started at Visy are missing. The content reads very similarly to promotional materials - eg the way the Mckinsey sentence is combined with Pratt's first job at Visy. I'm pretty shocked how much content was added at the suggestion of an employee, that was not simple corrections (per discussion below) but there is also just way too much flowery language that also seems to have made it's way into the article that just makes the writing hard to follow. For example phrases like: "his largest-ever deal in America" / "he broke ground on his Australian company's largest ever single investment" suggest deleting these descriptions as they are self-referential and could be out of date and just replacing with the $ amounts if they are significant enough to the wider article to keep ---Geelong 1985 (talk) 13:20, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  State Visit 

message: While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like a trip taken by an individual from one country to visit with an individual from another country — especially if the two individuals meeting are already well acquainted with each other — is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia, per WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Even if that individual is the President, who holds many such routine meetings everyday.  Spintendo      16:38, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Anthony Pratt, I'd like to update Pratt's current net worth figure in the infobox to A$12.90 bn (2018 AFR) . In addition, would like to add a line for 2018 with this figure to the table in the Wealth rankings section of the page. NinaSpezz (talk) 16:35, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: - Thanks for you assistance on this. Noticed, however, the title given for the AFR reference is incorrect. (Says "Cardboard King..." but should be "2018 Rich List: How...") NinaSpezz (talk) 11:59, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I have fixed the title, old title being a link on the page. Dhtwiki (talk) 18:10, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

text: Updated to 12.9. The claim regarding the richest family in Australia is an absolute claim, whereas stating something as being definitive when that something is based upon analysis done by one organization, can be problematic at best.  spintendo  20:23, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you. The year in that sentence still needs to be revised to 2018 and the citations are still linking to the previous year's rankings. NinaSpezz (talk) 20:28, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact that the Forbes mention in the very next sentence remains out of date seems to indicate that the year given for these figures is not of paramount importance. Thus, I have removed the date in question. The URL for the up-to-date reference may be found in the infobox.  spintendo  21:29, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

message: I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Anthony Pratt, I'd like to add to the Philanthropy section that Pratt is a Founding Patron of the Australia-UK Leadership Dialogue. In addition, the 3rd sentence ("Australian patron of the Trilateral...") in that section is not a complete sentence. I suggest adding "Pratt is also an..." to the beginning. To the end of that sentence, I'd like to add:
:and a founding patron of the Australia-UK Leadership Dialogue.
