Should there be academic titles before the names of the key people in this article? WP:CREDENTIAL has nothing to say about this. TYelliot | Talk | Contribs 21:29, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
The Maimonides Foundation official web site says that "The Maimonides Interfaith Foundation is an initiative of the Khalili Foundation" so the Khalili Foundation (which presently lacks an article) is more properly the bearer of notability, especially since the Khalili Foundation overlaps the Global Hope Foundation and Faith in the Commonwealth initiatives which have attracted third-party coverage. I'm preparing some text on the Khalili Foundation in the process of overhauling the Nasser Khalili biography, but maybe there could eventually by a Khalili Foundation article into which this one will be merged.

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. |
The article as it exists now is very out-of-date. With a new draft that I've written in my userspace, I've used more third-party sources and given more detail both about the present activities of the Khalili Foundation and its past activities when it was named the Maimonides Foundation. Because I receive money from the Khalili Foundation as part of a GLAM project, I have a conflict of interest. Please could another editor look over my version and paste it into this article, or give me permission to do so. Naturally, I'm happy to discuss any improvements to the draft.

In the aftermath of the September 11th attacks in the United States, according to Mehri Niknam, Executive Director of what was then named the Maimonides Foundation, "everyone told us it would be impossible to co-operate with Muslims." Instead they intensified their effort, considering it especially urgent to promote peace via inter-cultural understanding.[8] Niknam said at a conference about the attacks that "religions cannot be isolationist, cultures must develop or stagnate, and communities need to interact."[9]
In the thread above I've suggested some small changes to make the lead flow more easily and to make the article consistent. I've suggested removing "(Abrahamic religions)", removing the superfluous word "communication", removing the quotes and citation from "cultural, academic, sporting and educational programmes" (rewording if necessary), removing the "key people" line from the infobox, adding the navigation template at the foot of the article, and replacing one specific paragraph with what is given above (preserving the existing references). If anyone can make these changes, or give me permission to make them, I'd be very grateful. MartinPoulter ( talk) 09:56, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
