Good things

edit

We should tell more about the good things chuck feeney did in life that weren’t giving away 8 billion$ 50.206.240.66 (talk) 15:48, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've added a few items in the past to Chuck Feeney's article, and I believe there is plenty of room for additional details, significant events and charitable activities in his life. In Chuck's case, giving away his considerable fortune to make the world a better place is what he is most known for, so I don't think there will be much push back as long as the activities are notable, verifiable, and well sourced. I'll do some research and see if I can create a few editorial contributions over the next few days. Some of everything (talk) 21:29, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
I also added a few cited to the NYT. They were projects he paid for anonymously. I guess his biography would be the place to find other sorts of good deeds. (It's in the Internet Archive but only freely accessible for certain audiences.) -SusanLesch (talk) 17:33, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Relation to 'Chub' Feeney

edit

Open question: wondering if there's any relation to Chub Feeney - grandson/nephew to former New York/San Francisco Giants baseball team ownership, and himself, the one-time president of the National League? DarkStarHarry (talk) 15:22, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

To clarify "himself", Chub Feeney, not this Charles Feeney, was president of the National League for 17 years. -SusanLesch (talk) 17:30, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Dual citizenship?

edit

The box has both Ireland and the U.S., but I'm not seeing anything verifying that he held Irish citizenship. The obituaries in Irish newspapers don't mention anything about that. 2600:100A:B1C5:5483:0:33:9189:6901 (talk) 18:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah I can't find anything on this either. I'll remove it. Marquardtika (talk) 18:27, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
