Philantropist?

The activities listed under 'philantropy' are not philantropy - they are examples of lobbying and playing at politics. In any country other than the US, this would not be considered philantropic, and I would argue that it is stretching the definition by US standards, too. I would suggest we replace "philantropy" by "advocacy" to give a neutral, accurate description of these activities. 82.176.221.176 (talk) 07:57, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
