 * In Malpass' 2017 Senate testimony, he cites his "wife, Adele, and our four children, Robert, Emily, Julia, and Peter." Additionally, his official World Bank biography states that they "have four children". I would propose that the total number of his children be updated to four, given his sworn testimony and official biography both confirm this number. 192.86.106.97 (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Family?
Who were his parents? What is his background, in regards to early life? Genetikbliss (talk) 21:40, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

 * In Malpass' 1993 engagement announcement, posted in The New York Times, there appears to be full biographical information on his parents: "He is a son of Theodore Malpass of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and Eloise Malpass of Boulder, Colo. His mother is the chief budget officer at the University of Colorado School of Engineering in Boulder. His father retired as a mechanical engineer and an owner of an iron works company in East Jordan, Mich." If possible, it might be good to post this in the past tense, while noting that both of his parents are now deceased. His father appears to have passed away in 2016 , and his mother appears to have passed away in 2018 . Suggested language as follows: "Malpass' parents were Theodore Malpass of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and Eloise Malpass of Boulder, Colo. His mother served as the chief budget officer at the University of Colorado School of Engineering in Boulder, and his father retired as a mechanical engineer and an owner of an iron works company in East Jordan, Mich.

Change the text before footnote 20 “New York Times editorial” to “New York Times op-ed essay”. An editorial is written by the editorial board; David Malpass was an “op-ed contributor” when the New York Times submitted his essay. 100.14.211.66 (talk) 11:54, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Include ongoing criticism that under Malpass' leadership, the World Bank has ignored an International Energy Agency declaration to stop funding fossil fuel projects. Former Vice President Al Gore has begun leading a campaign to have Malpass removed by the World Bank's Board of Governors due to supporting poor countries struggling with the effects of climate change without leading initiatives to combat this root cause, as well as comments denying climate change in a 2007 criticism of then California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.

 * In the "Education and career" section "World Bank President," begin a new paragraph with the following information, citing the NYTimes source linked in my parent edit request (reliable news reporting that presents timeline of Malpass' climate-related comments/actions):
 * "In September 2022, former US Vice President Al Gore began a campaign to have the World Bank's Board of Governors vote to remove Malpass over 2007 comments denying that humans are driving climate change in a criticism directed at California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. Rachel Kyte, Dean of Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, has argued the World Bank is failing to comply with an International Energy Agency declaration to switch funding for fossil fuel projects toward renewable energy sources."

There are several categories pertaining to his alleged Jewishness, however there is no mention of it in the article, nor indeed are there any corroborating sources. Malpass isn't even a Jewish name, although that in itself proves nothing either way. If this article wasn't extended-protected, I would have removed the categories myself for being unsourced. I therefore kindly suggest that the relevant categories be removed if no reliable citation is forthcoming soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7E:5743:C300:69D4:7407:F340:BAE2 (talk) 00:39, 24 September 2022 (UTC)


 * If someone would like to add it, a citation corroborating Malpass' Jewish descent can be found from the Times of Israel BluePenguin18 🐧  ( 💬 ) 22:48, 24 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Well, thanks for that. With all due respect though, does anyone have an earlier source that predates the point at which the categories were added to the Wikipedia page? Press articles are notorious for using unreferenced biographical details from Wiki to source their facts from. In fact it's a well-known phenomenon at this point and an ever-growing problem for this website. The article you kindly provided merely states that Malpass is "of Jewish descent" without any further clarification, just as this Wiki page does, so I think there's a very good chance The Times of Israel's "source" was indeed Wikipedia. Looking through the edit history, the Jewish categories were first added on the 6th February 2019 by User:Betathetapi545. I would be inclined to say at this point that we should ask the editor in question what their original source was, but alas it seems that they have since been banned... If anyone can find a reliable source prior to February 6th that would be entirely satisfactory evidence I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7E:5743:C300:B113:56D5:6399:7ECD (talk) 22:45, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * David Malpass is the son of Mary Eloise (Henry) and Theodore Dean Malpass, neither of whom were Jewish. All Hallow&#39;s Wraith (talk) 07:06, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Climate Change
On September 24th, former VP of the United States Al Gore openly called David Mapass a climate denier and called for his removal for this reason. Confronted with this fact on the very same stage later the same day, David Malpass refused to answer the question of whether he supports the scientific consensus that the burning of fossil fuels is dramatically and dangerously contributing to the warming of the planet. 148.69.198.16 (talk) 13:42, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
