Fair use rationale for Image:KF home header 01.gif

Image:KF home header 01.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

John S. and James L. Knight Foundation → Knight Foundation – Common name. In reliable sources, "Knight Foundation" is typically used in headlines and in running text. JS&JLKF, when it is used, is almost only used once, with every following mention almost always being the "Knight Foundation." Schierbecker (talk) 07:13, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

• Support move: Knight Foundation is the common name. Marquardtika (talk) 15:31, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Updating Knight Foundation's page to reflect current information

I am reaching out on behalf of the Knight Foundation to request assistance in updating the Wikipedia article to better reflect our current structure, leadership, and initiatives. We have identified some areas where the article could benefit from additional details and updated information, and I’m providing sources to support these updates.

Leadership The article currently lists Alberto Ibargüen as the President and CEO; however, as of 2024, Maribel Pérez Wadsworth is serving in this role. Source: https://knightfoundation.org/employee/maribel-perez-wadsworth/

Program Areas Learning and Impact: This program area, which is not mentioned in the current article, funds research to gauge the foundation’s impact and contribute to understanding informed and engaged communities. Source: https://knightfoundation.org/research/

Community Engagement The Knight Foundation has made significant community investments, such as in Miami, where over $62 million has been invested since 2012 to support tech and entrepreneurship, including creating the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences at FIU. https://knightfoundation.org/community/miami/

Historical Context Expanding the article’s historical background could provide readers with a more detailed understanding of the foundation’s evolution and its strategic focus over the years. https://knightfoundation.org/about/history/

Research Initiatives Recent research initiatives, like the Pew-Knight Initiative in 2024, aim to understand civic engagement better. Including such collaborations would enhance the article’s depth. https://knightfoundation.org/research/

Thank you for considering these updates. Please let me know if any additional clarification is needed. We’re committed to providing accurate, sourced information to support this page and welcome any feedback or questions. Alejandrodeonis (talk) 15:59, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Alejandrodeonis, thanks for making suggestions on this talk page rather than disturbing the article directly, as you have a conflict of interest.

The article currently has a huge problem (indicated by the warning template at the top): "This article relies excessively on references to primary sources". Your changes exacerbate the problem by only referencing the official website. Ideally someone, maybe you, will find reliable sources that can be used in the article.

Also see Wikipedia:PROMO. Commander Keane (talk) 22:19, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi,

For example, would these three sources better support the request to update the leadership change referenced above:
