Caudwell Group

The biography is really unusual. Is that even true? "Goldigging" does not seem too reliable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcca0553 (talk • contribs) 03:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is almost entirely about the Caudwell Group with very little about the man himself. Can someone correct this please? --198.178.236.140 11:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"With no new mountains to climb". Non-impassive voice sounds highly biased? --194.74.237.135 (talk) 08:54, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Factual inaccuracies - tax status

Hello

I work for John Caudwell. Factual inaccuracies on his Wikipedia page are frequently cited in the media and cause enormous and unnecessary problems.

In the first paragraph, "He is known for being the UK's largest taxpayer.[5]" This cites a BBC News piece from 2013. This is no longer the case and hasn't been for many years. He does speak frequently in the press about tax as a moral duty, why he would never be a tax exile, and that the wealthy must pay their fair share

Can we please update this to reflect that it is historic? Also, it relates to him as an individual taxpayer rather than corporate tax.

"He was previously known for being one of the UK's largest individual taxpayers."

Inaccurate or misleading claims

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Hello, I work for the charity Caudwell Children which John Caudwell founded and he supports heavily but holds no official role within its governance structure.

In the charity interests section there are references to a Times article which made speculative and unfounded claims about the services which would be provided at the Caudwell International Children's Centre and links to individuals with views that are no supported by the charity. The article uses the Times article to claim that the charity promotes unproven and dubious health practices and has aligned itself with antivaccinationists.:
The charity strongly refutes the claims and has repeatedly evidenced the contrary, which has been supported by subsequent inspections by the Care Quality Commission. These accusations are potentially damaging to the charity's ability to support children with special educational needs and disabilities.:

I will not pay for reading the article that is put back after i removed it So i can not comment on the content https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/caudwell-children-autism-charity-a-magnet-for-quack-therapies-0cdh36gb8

The National Autistic Society and John Caudwell work well together I do not see anything relevant in wikipedia accusations The National Autistic Society will deny the desinformation in that article

Why is it necessary to destroy the good relation in charity ? Johnvandeput (talk) 20:26, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Biography must not be abused to harm charity association.

This is clearly a personal attack

Edwardx never gave an explanation for removing my changes

Why do Edwardx and Fram insist on harming a charity association ?

Where do i file a complaint about Edwardx and Fram ?

I do not know how to start a complaint, so I invite Edwardx and Fram to start a proper complaint about me Johnvandeput (talk) 14:24, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:NPOV. We represent what reliable sources have written about article subjects. While we keep out tabloid sources (e.g. the Daily Mail about the court battle between Caudwell and his ex), we include reliable, reputable sources like The Times, per WP:NPOV and WP:RS. The charities are being discussed in this article and carry his name, so including criticism of them (at an appropriate place in the body of the article, as is done here) is normal.
