Talk:World Economic Forum

hi! I'm new here and would love this page to be a great intro to show to clueless friends.

• As an overview of WEF, I'm not sure it does the job for people that just think it's a generic think tank of some kind.
• Perhaps the biggest section that could use some help is the 'clueless' section.
• It isn't clear to me why they should have predicted those things. Their job seems more to create them on an indeterminate timeframe.
• Also, the citations are to the events/facts rather than to their cluelessness.
• Are there any cites to their cluelessness?
• Finally there and a couple of other places, it would be better imho to use non-blaming words. Even though obviously we will show our view of things, we want others to follow along, concluding on their own the blame, right ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by America2023 (talk)

Good points. Have at it. Be Bold, as they say. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 14:20, September 7, 2023 (EDT)

By all means, please do improve this page! The points you mention sound good to me. Probably there won't be a reputable reference we can use where the WEF is called "clueless," but we can make the case without directly saying it. Just line up some examples. As for your last point, I also agree. We can handle topics in a professional matter without stooping to name-calling. Sometimes we just need to call it like it is, but keeping it professional is always my preference. --DavidB4 ^(TALK) 18:25, September 7, 2023 (EDT)
