Talk:Michael Bloomberg

I want to add this, seeking consensus.

Would it be appropriate to add this? Mike Bloomberg has pledged at least $100m (£78m) to help Democrat Joe Biden's presidential campaign in Florida. Thank you! AngusMEOW (chatter • paw trail) 12:23, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

The above statement implies that it is not appropriate to use "KBE" after Mayor Bloomberg's name. The is absolutely not true! It is completely legitimate to put these letters after his name. The principal reason honorary knights aren't made Knight Bachelors is that Knight Bachelors don't have letters after their names to indicate their "Knight Bachelorhood". Foreigners are awarded knighthoods (from Britain, that is) that will allow them an official indication of their knighthoods, that is, the official abbreviations of their knighthoods. For, of course, honorary knights cannot have the knightly title of "Sir". For example, the American pianist Murray Perahia is officially Murray Perahia, KBE. Bill Gates is officially Bill Gates, KBE.

Template:Edit semi-protected Where it says that he was helped to write his autobiography by the Bloomberg editor-in-chief there is a typo where what's written is "editor-in-ehief" MihoKush (talk) 19:11, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Done. Thank you. Slywriter (talk) 20:08, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Legion of Honour award given to Bloomberg

In September of 2014, the government of France named Michael Bloomberg a Commander of the Legion of Honour. Please include this wonderful award in Mayor Bloomberg's entry. (Some articles from 2014 stated that Bloomberg was named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. But the photographs given in articles concerning this award clearly show that he was made a Commander and not simply a Chevalier.)

Please remove the line in the second paragraph detailing his net worth in September 2020. The line before it in 2021 is the most recent source CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 23:22, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: The September 2020 line is useful because it says what his net worth was when he was listed in the Forbes 400 casualdejekyll 01:56, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

I appreciate the community's assistance in adding this missing information. Thank you, DLARoss (talk) 17:51, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm here at DLARoss's request. Thank you for disclosing your COI. These additions seem fine to me. Please implement them as you have proposed. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:12, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Template:U for your review and approval. I have implemented the changes. Best, DLARoss (talk) 14:19, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Great. Please note that just because I have approved the edits doesn't mean that your additions will remain intact. Other editors may decide that it is better to list only some of his most prestigious awards, for instance. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 21:06, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Note that in the future, you can tag your post with {{COI edit request}} to put it in a queue for review by lots of other Wikpedians. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:42, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

IP users insisting on subject's Russian descendancy

As the title says, articles about Americans (including this one) seem to have frequent visits from IP users (almost exclusively geolocated to Russia) making edits that (a claim Russian descendancy and/or (b add subjects to categories like American people of Russian descent << apologies for my terrible ability to use the source editor.

The current page has the sentence describing subject's grandparents altered as in (apologies for not knowing how to permlink to a specific revision:) 1292742379 where the user insists that a maternal grandfather born in (what would be) present-day Belarus makes Bloomberg a Russian-Jewish. irisChronomia (talk) 23:45, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
