[edit]The section on Rose's Bakery in Evanston should be amended to show that both locations have now closed. Yelp is reporting both locations closed [1][2]. Additional source:[3]; I have no other proof that the evanston location is closed, except for the fact that I saw so myself in person.165.124.129.186 (talk) 00:16, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello. I work for Marcus Lemonis and want to suggest changes to the article, and respect Wikipedia's conflict of interest policies.
- Remove source 23 as it is an orphaned link that is not used to substantiate any content.
- Remove the 3rd sentence in the Television section, according to WP:BLPCRIME.
- Warn User Sacrum Simonel to cease libelous, erroneous, and bias editing with
Hello, I'm TrevoratMarcusLemonis. I wanted to let you know that some of your recent contributions have been reverted or removed because they seem to be defamatory or libellous. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
- Create a new Philanthropy section:
Lemonis founded the Lemon-AID Foundation in 2020. The foundation supports women and minority entrepreneurs as well as small businesses. Lemonis also founded the Business Learning Center, a virtual platform for resources and business tools for those struggling as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. [4] Lemonis's foundation is also responsible for the “Plating Change” initiative to combat food insecurity through a partnership with Grubhub and the World Central Kitchen. [5][6] Lemonis is also a supporter of his alma maters including Christopher Columbus High School [7] and Marquette University[8]. He also gives to children and the underserved, donating to foster care in CASA Lake County[9], St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, New Journey's Transitional Home, and Lincoln Park Zoo. [10] He has also been philanthropically involved with the Joffrey Ballet Bridge Program in the Chicago Public School system [11] and on behalf of the developmentally challenged.[12] In 2016-17, Lemonis launched a matching campaign to support the sports program at University of Miami. [13] After the 2020 Nashville bombing on Christmas day, Lemonis established a fund to support the business owners effected by the event.[14]

Thank you, TrevoratMarcusLemonis (talk) 15:16, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
- TrevoratMarcusLemonis, point 1 is taken care of already. The part which is referred to in point 2 is very much in compliance with WP:BLPCRIME already so no action is taken. Point 3 is not a proper edit request. Chirota (talk) 16:03, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- PS:Philanthropy section is promotional so its has not been implemented as well. Chirota (talk) 16:04, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Chirota appreciate your looking this over and for helping with point #1. Regarding points #2 and #4- I will take some time to better understand the guidelines for each, and redraft my suggestions once I've done so. Thanks again. TrevoratMarcusLemonis (talk) 19:37, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
new edit request
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi. As discussed in the previous edit request, I've made some revisions and propose the following edits to the article:
- Revise the 3rd sentence of the Television section to comply with WP:NPOV, remove subjective detail ("nightmare stories"), and include inline citation: In August 2021, NBCUniversal, Machete, and Lemonis were accused of harmful business practices.[1]
- Add Philanthropy section:
Lemonis founded the Lemon-AID Foundation in 2020, which includes the "Plating Change" program in partnership with Grubhub and the World Central Kitchen. [2][3][4] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lemonis founded the Business Learning Center, a virtual resource for entrepreneurs. In 2016-17, Lemonis matched a University of Miami fundraising campaign, resulting in a $1 million donation to the sports program.[5] After the 2020 Nashville bombing on Christmas Day, Lemonis donated $500,000 to establish a fund to support the business owners affected by the event. [6]

Looking forward to your feedback. Thank you, TrevoratMarcusLemonis (talk) 14:16, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
- @TrevoratMarcusLemonis: I implemented most of your suggestions. Thank you for using the COI edit request process. I trimmed a bit from the philanthropy section that wasn't well-sourced and felt a bit over the top. Marquardtika (talk) 16:13, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, Marquardtika for making these changes. I appreciate your help and feedback and look forward to collaborating with you in the future. Thanks again. TrevoratMarcusLemonis (talk) 14:02, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Controversies Section
[edit]This edit (https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Marcus_Lemonis&oldid=1056338981) (addition of the Controversies section) was reverted, and the reason given was "inadequately sourced", even though the addition had "a reliable, published source using an inline citation". (Also, apologies for inadvertently posting in the wrong talk section at first. Moving commentary here and hoping to hear explanation of complete removal of the section.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:5C5:C100:A3C0:F411:6033:A974:42BE (talk) 20:09, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
Edit Request
[edit]![]() | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. To me, the controversy section feels roughly in-line with other aspects mentioned within the article in terms of depth/source presence. It could be removed, but other aspects would need to be removed as well to ensure balanced DUEness. In terms of the philanthropy aspects, I've added the CCHS donations, which had a good source. The first aspect came from a reskinned press release, and the other parts didn't link Marcus to the actual action in clear form. Particularly the GLWD donation may have another, better, source available and could be added. Finally - not sure why this took this long, it should have been acted on long ago.

Hi. I appreciate the assistance you've provided to my colleague TrevoratMarcusLemonis who has made requests on the talk page as a COI editor. They have left the organization, so I would like to continue the conversation and raise one issue and request an edit.
- I would like to bring up a recurring issue on the page. The controversies section, twice reverted by editor Marquardtika for WP:UNDUE, has reappeared. I’m requesting attention to this problem and the deletion of the controversies section.
- I am requesting the addition of Marcus Lemonis’s recent philanthropic activity. Specifically, I am requesting two additions to the current philanthropy section:
- A sentence at the end of the current philanthropy section saying: In 2021, Lemonis made a $1 million donation to God's Love We Deliver.[1]
- Insertion of a subsection entitled Great American Tip Off. Suggested text: In December 2021, Lemonis launched "The Great American Tip Off" to acknowledge the work of service-industry employees. He and Amy Schumer left a $30,000 tip at the Comedy Cellar,[2] Lemonis gave $3.1 million to the staff of Christopher Columbus High School ($18,000 to each staff member),[3] and he made a $500,000 tip to the staff of God's Love We Deliver.[1]

Biological father
[edit]The cited source doesn't state that his biological father was from Lebanon or anywhere else.
“Ricardo [redacted], born on Nov. 16, 1973, father: Abdallel, mother: Nadia [redacted], Syrian from Banivas, living separately. Adopted on July 29, 1974.”
https://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2019/04/profit-my-roots-review/
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Info about his father seems to be scarce
Therefore, saying he was from Lebanon violates WP:ORIGINAL Whatsupkarren (talk) 10:43, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
