Directly quoting excerpts from the section:

A 1995 Wall Street Journal article described the Bishop Estate as "the nation's wealthiest charity," with an endowment estimated at $10 billion – greater than the combined endowments of Harvard and Yale universities... nine schools (Harvard University, Yale University... have higher endowments than Kamehameha Schools.

Obviously Harvard and Yale cannot simultaneously have lower and higher endowments than Bishop Estate. I looked into the citations for any additional clarification, and not only did I fail to find any, but I discovered the citations themselves are improperly used. The WSJ citation is simply a reference to the homepage of a website created to promote an exclusively print-edition book. No references to the WSJ appear anywhere on the "Source Documents" or any other section of the referenced webpage. I was able to find through alternative investigation that the quote appears in the chapter titled "David Shapiro's Introduction", which the website lists as a selected excerpt via an external link that 404s. Additionally, the text presented in the Wikipedia article is lifted verbatim from the source but lacks any quotation formatting as to comply with standards to prevent plagiarizing. [An additional] additionally, the actual WSJ article at the root of the citation could not be located. I discovered through third-party sources that the relevant article appears on the front page of the April 25, 1995 edition of the WSJ, but unfortunately the newspaper only maintains digitized archives going back to 1997 at the earliest. The latter part of the above blockquote has no cited sources whatsoever.

I don't typically engage in editing Wikipedia so I'll leave my findings for someone else to implement or ignore. I've already spent too much of my life down this rabbit hole. 2601:2C6:4A7F:8D40:FC4A:8793:964E:1286 ( talk) 09:51, 3 January 2024 (UTC) reply
