Kevin Spacey Foundation

Hello, I'm not sure how to fix this as the article seems to be locked, but his charity can't be headquartered in two places at once. Rather than saying it was headquartered in England and Wales they seem to be referring to England and Wales the legal jurisdiction, as the charity commission for England and Wales would be the body regulating their work rather than say OSCR in Scotland or the Charity commission for Northern Ireland. It's kind of like saying that JFK airport is in New York and New Jersey because of the involvement of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and should be edited to look less silly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.200.51.225 (talk) 06:21, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Spacey's allegations in Synopsis

In the synopsis, it unfairly portrays Stacey as suspicious or even guilty, yet because all of the allegations were dropped, Kevin is allowed to be seen as innocent, yet to address this at the top is often disputed by other editors who have emotional attachments to the subject matter, claiming that 'not guilty' is not the same as charges dropped, and although I agree it's not the same, Kevin was never found guilty, therefore it is perfectly fine to add that he was 'never found guilty', because he wasn't, therefore he is still innocent in the eyes of the law, and whether you're a high profile person or an average joe, everyone has the right to remain innocent until proven guilty You may argue that in the article discusses in detail that he was not found guilty, this is not addressed within the synopsis, so why is it important to show that he was never found guilty within the synopsis? well, the synopsis acts as a "TLDR" (Too long didn't read) where it briefly addresses the article before addressing it all within categories. So I hope that others agree with my view that wiki should be written within factual and impartial context rather than emotional or hearsay. Hogyncymru (talk) 23:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider the following addition:

After having returned to the stage with the video ‘Let me be Frank’, which attracted millions of views, on August 2 Spacey read four of Gabriele Tinti’s poems inspired by the Boxer at Rest at the National Roman Museum in Palazzo Massimo, where the statue is located.^[1]^[2]. HansBD (talk) 14:46, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Add where? And in any case, this seems rather trivial, not to mention the odd tone with the phrasing "after having returned to the stage ...". –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:49, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
