Currently, the article says "The fund is administered by Elizabeth Allison", which points to a NY Times reference that doesn't mention Allison's administration of the foundation. I am sure that other sources exist, and I'd also point out that it's possible that "Elizabeth" isn't the proper spelling of Allison's legal name. I have a possible conflict of interest in editing about the Stanton Foundation, so I place this concern here on the Talk page. - Stanton By Your Man (talk) 13:22, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
Noting here that this article was edited by me and another editor per a request on the Reward board that offered a cash prize. It was suggested that this should be noted in accordance with the WMF terms of use.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 16:41, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
Liz stopped by, but then didn't decide to work on the Talk page. I wonder why not? - 2601:42:C102:B8DD:45B4:CEB9:322:75DB (talk) 19:22, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
I am co-director of the Stanton Foundation and am in the process of editing our own page. I understand that this is not preferred practice (that why the changes will be very densely footnoted) and am using this page to summarize the changes and lay out the rationale. The first is to correct factual errors. The most important correction is to the statement the we make grants in urban planning. Once, many years ago (more than 15) Frank Stanton made a gift to the Harvard Design School to honor a friend - who had been dean of the the school. But urban design was not an are Frank Stanton designated for support; we make no grants in that area. But every year urban planner professors and institutions waste their valuable time writing well crafted grant letters to us. I've also corrected Frank Stanton title (he was president of CBS, not CBS News, and only because there was a comment about it, spelled my first name correctly.
I have also added more detail on our larger grants...all with citation to a page maintained by someone other than the Foundation). The most frequent use of this entry is by grant seekers, so more detail is helpful. Finally, I moved the history into the History section, and inserted a controversies section so that it's clear that my purpose in editing is to improve the quality of the article and not to remove critical passages.LizAllison (talk) 20:30, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
