Updates to Steve Feinberg's Wikipedia Entry[edit]

My name is Mike Schuler and I am writing in my capacity as vice president of external affairs at Cerberus Capital Management L.P. regarding the Wikipedia entry for Steve Feinberg, Cerberus's founder.

I have corresponded with Geoffrey Lane of Wikipedia over the past several months regarding our intention to update this article and recently received Mr. Lane’s suggestion and encouragement to use this Talk Page to begin the update process.

Given that Wikipedia is an important resource on the Internet for fair and community-sourced information, the suggested edits are meant to make Steve's entry more accurate and to help bring it in line with those of his industry peers.

I am posting here on the discussion tab to be transparent about our intensions. We plan to make the updates on August 9th.

I look forward to increasing the accuracy of Mr. Feinberg's Wikipedia entry as well as to conforming with Wikipedia’s policies regarding biographies of living individuals.

These seem to be unattributed references, I will try and see where they fit because as a whole they shouldn't be under this section.--LedgerTom (talk) 16:49, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trump's Pick for investigation[edit]

Sentence belongs in professional section and not intro[edit]

The sentence “Through Cerberus Feinberg also ownes DynCorp…” does not belong in the intro to Feinberg’s page. I’ve placed it in the Professional career section. The last part of the sentence about "charging billions" is sensational and does not reflect a NPOV (from the anonymous Wiki editor who keeps putting it in or the news source). If anyone wants to go into more detail about Cerberus or DynCorp, they should do so on those business pages and not on Feinberg’s page. AnalyticCat (talk) 07:48, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removed promotional sentence[edit]

The article used to claim that Feinberg "turned around many businesses and made them profitable again". While this is a gross way to explain what private equity firms do in general, the source for this claim [1] was also dubious. Here is the part where this claim is made:

"The Trump campaign sought Mr. Feinberg’s assistance because of his experience turning around multiple businesses at Cerberus, including in the auto industry, people close to the campaign said. Cerberus became well known for buying Chrysler in 2007, only to have its equity wiped out in the car maker’s subsequent bankruptcy."

It's basically somebody close to Trump that said this to justify his appointment, its unreliable. The journalist balances this POV factoid by saying that he's mostly known for he's company's catastrophic management of Chrystler. Mottezen (talk) 05:16, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sandy Hook[edit]

"the manufacturer of the gun that was used at the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting."

Why is this in the article? That's one gun (if you believe the Sandy Hook psyop). Remington has made zillions of guns. WithGLEE (talk) 14:11, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the sentence, as it is indeed a case of cherry picking. Cilidus (talk) 18:51, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
