Talk:Ryan Cohen

Now we need to add another reference because someone decided to blacklist a well known investment company's web site? Why is this blacklisted, because it's not in Yahoo? My original reference: ^[1] InquisitionX (talk) 04:16, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't think the source is blacklisted, as per Wikipedia:Deprecated sources so I undid that change 2A02:810D:640:69A0:8CFC:EF40:7A31:637C (talk) 00:38, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Someone added “A Jewish” next to family and removed “his” so what would have been “his family in Montreal” is now “A Jewish family in Montreal”, it was recently vandalized by racist trolls 2601:6C2:100:70:4BA:EE2D:7D33:BC98 (talk) 20:14, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I knew adding the lawsuit would cause some kickback. But I didn't expect it would be entirely deleted within a few hours! Recommend using the talk page to discuss. Wikipedia reports what reliable sources say. The problem is not the case, or Wikipedia, it's what reliable sources are saying - take it up with them. Removing it from Wikipedia won't remove it from WSJ and wherever else it's being reported. -- GreenC 04:58, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

This is the first time I have seen spam like this in a Wikipedia talk page. Gabe114 (talk) 15:55, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Ryan Cohen's Twitter bio now reads: "she/her/hers." This could suggest that Ryan Cohen's pronouns are she/her/hers. However, it is also possible that it may have another meaning.

Given the ambiguity, I wanted to open up a discussion to see if anyone has more context or thoughts on whether there should be an update the pronouns in Ryan Cohen's Wikipedia article.

RouterIncident (talk) 16:05, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes. Apparently there is a Twitter account, purporting to be that of Ryan Cohen, that says "She/her". This is resulting in IP editors changing the entire to reflect "she/her".

There are a couple problems:

• Twitter is notoriously unreliable. The account might not be controlled by Ryan Cohen ie. by a disgruntled employee, family member, hackers, fake account
• It might be a joke by Ryan
• It's a primary source and only a single source. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Why are there no other sources that discuss the fairly major news that the CEO of GameStop is going by she/her? It makes no sense.
• There is no history of Ryan going by she/her or having any tendencies
• Given the history of shenanigans that go on around GameStop, and Ryan, particularly with stock manipulation, we need to treat this with a great deal of caution.
• In summary: Wait for better secondary reliable sources.

Hello,

"This account might not be controlled by Ryan Cohen" - It's his official account and I doubt a bad actor would not leave any damaging tweets if they are disgrunted

"It might be a joke" - What exactly is a joke in changing pronouns?

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - I don't see how pronouns are extraordinary. Also, I've never in my life seen a news article entirely dedicated to someone changing their pronouns, especially if that person isn't very famous or just an investor. With Ava Kris Tyson, which is definitely a more famous person, I've only seen news report once she talked about being gender non-conforming and when she shared transition timeline pictures. However, even with her, when she changed her pronouns to "any" or in the end "she/her" I did not see any articles about that. Quirkykoala (talk) 18:10, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Sounds like you should have no problem demonstrating there are reliable secondary sources. When you find some, please post them here. -- GreenC 19:05, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

For now, while we wait for a secondary source, does it not make sense to make the article gender neutral (either just "Cohen" or they/them) to make sure there is given neutrality to the subject? Quirkykoala (talk) 19:17, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

does it not make sense. What makes sense is reliable secondary sources. It is independent confirmation they want to be called he/she, everywhere including not only Twitter. There is too much ambiguity for us to change anything on Wikipedia yet. -- GreenC 22:10, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Profile Picture is now updated as well as female we can safely edit it. 76.184.232.154 (talk) 00:42, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

It is readily apparent from Ryan Cohen's recent twitter that this topic is some attempt to troll, and completely unserious Bleaf1 (talk) 02:35, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Even if it is, wouldn't it set a dangerous precedent to not take someone seriously when they come out with something so personal and vulnerable? 84.217.210.209 (talk) 13:13, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Didn't he tweet "TRUMP 2024" only a couple of weeks ago? This seems more like a lame attempt at trolling than a serious change in gender identity. 2800:BF0:1E:16D5:B5D0:254D:5D13:FF91 (talk) 17:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia requires reliable sources. As soon as they take it seriously, this article will do the same. The dangerous precedence would be to ignore that requirement on a BLP. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 11:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

That profile picture looks distinctly AI generated. I'd rank this as dubious and reliable secondary sources are needed for a change of such significance. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 10:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

This article contains some phrases and language that can be interpreted as negative, and appears to be an attempt to discredit Ryan’s business achievements. The article should focus only on neutral facts from verified sources. TheWiksterMan (talk) 13:11, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to help collaborate on improving the article; it's always great to see new community members getting involved.

You appear to be misconstruing some of our core policies. Wikipedia has no obligation to avoid - and I quote - "language that can be interpreted as negative". Indeed, one worders how we could possibly be expected to have entries on human rights violations and the like if we were somehow bound to construct a false equivalency for the subject of every page. No law compels us to do so. Additionally, that is not Wikipedia's current policy - nor have we ever had such as a policy.

One of the changes in your edit is the removal of the text The stock has fallen from $82 to $22.93 or 72% since he was elected chairman as of August 12, 2025. Here on the talk page, you appear to be attempting to invoke NPoV as an argument in favour of your changes. Would you do us the courtesy of providing a source to demonstrate these numbers were inaccurate? Or do you accept them as being accurate, but argue that the factual citing of numbers and percentages is somehow biased?

NPoV is not an argument in favour of removing criticism and leaving only praise - it advocates for censoring neither the bad, nor the good: representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic.

I have rejected your pending edit. ···sardonism · t · c 00:39, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello sardonism,

Good day. After reading your comments and reviewing the wikstermen changes I would like to make a few points.

First and foremost, you mentioned thewikstermen remove a well source section. I dont believe that is the case. Take the following section as an example " including the hiring of over 200 employees, 85% of which have since left the company." The source of this statement is link to an imgur image with no link to the original documents nor its author. I do not believe this source satisfy as a reliable source as it can be randomly generated by anyone with sufficient skill in spreadsheet software. Another example is the following statement "He has diluted shareholders at every run in the stock price and famously diluted during the Roaring Kitty live stream." I have reviewed all the source and I am not able to find a timeline or quote that confirmed Gamestop have diluted shareholders every time there is a run up. In fact, this statement can be proven wrong easily if we just check the run up from Nov, 2024 to Jan, 2025 where gamestop stock price have run up from 21 to 30 usd and no dilution from the company have occurred. (Link to reference: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GME/) (Additional reference - gamestop newsroom, shows no dilution happen on jan 2025: https://investor.gamestop.com/news-releases/default.aspx)

Second, the changes wikstermen made include the deletion of the following statement. "Ryan has diluted shareholders for billions of dollars and has left billions of dollars in treasury investments to ensure he maintains a risk free position by keeping cash per share above his buy in price." Gamestop certainly did issue senior convertible notes during Ryan cohen times as gamestop ceo. However, there is no indication gamestop issues these bonds to "keep cash per share above Ryan cohen buy in price". In fact, if you review gamestop statement on the senior note offering, they have stated the funds acquired from the offering will be used " for general corporate purposes, including making investments in a manner consistent with GameStop’s Investment Policy and potential acquisitions." Link to reference (https://investor.gamestop.com/news-releases/news-details/2025/GameStop-Announces-Proposed-Private-Offering-of-1-75-Billion-of-Convertible-Senior-Notes/default.aspx). With that said, the current version implies ryan cohen issue shares sales to keep cash per share above his buy in price is just not fractual and sound like the editor personal opinion.

Overall, the current version of this page does not read As neutral, and with all the anomalies and bad reference, it would be hard to not speculate the edit made on August 12, 2025 is an attempt to vandalize this article instead of adding accurate description as what the editor describe. (Revision in question: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryan_Cohen&diff=prev&oldid=1305581288)

Thanks for reading through my comments and I look forward to you reply. Bentomyum (talk) 05:41, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi all,

Current version of the wiki contains untrue statement.

Statement: " $82 to $22.93 or 72% since he was elected chairman as of August 12, 2025.[27][28][29]"

This statement is untrue as the highest stock price since June 9th, 2021 is $57.2 based on quoted source in the current version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bentomyum (talk • contribs) 19:18, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Whether Cohen's criticism is "strong" or not is a matter of opinion, and therefore should not be in the article. Adjectives like this are always worth avoiding. Consider, for example, if the word was replaced by "ineffective", "weak", "half-hearted" or "righteous" They would equally be opinion and just as unwelcome and unnecessary.
