The main article calls it an "attack" on the Capitol. Is that really accurate or mere rhetoric aimed at baling political hay for Democrats? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 15:37, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi again. Thanks so much to S0091 for implementing my edits above. I would also like to request a few additional edits that also add updated information, and remove outdated information. I really appreciate your help.

1. In the Career section, in the subheading called "2009 to Present" please replace "Since 2016 he has served as co-CEO", which is incorrect, with "He became co-CEO in 2017,^[1]
2. In the section called "Trusteeship & Philanthropy", please remove the Trilateral Commission, Carnegie Mellon University, and Rare from the list of his memberships/trusteeships. He is no longer a member or trustee of those institutions.
3. In the Personal life section, Dina Powell is still an executive at Goldman Sachs, so please remove "a former".
4. In the Personal life section, please change the last sentence; it should read as follows: They have six children between them and reside in Connecticut.^[2]

McCormick says he has six children (daughters), but the Wikipedia article says he only four children. So which is it? Why the descrepancy? 173.79.45.183 (talk) 22:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He's on his second marriage, so I would venture he has some biological children and some step children. This press release supports that, but doesn't say how many bio and how many step. I can't find a reliable source for any of this. Marquardtika (talk) 20:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTFORUM. If you wish to have the article reflect this view, please find and add reliable secondary sources to say so. Or alternatively, wait a little while until these become plentiful as the election is actually declared or conceded. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 17:33, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
