I have marked this section as being written like an advertisement, since it makes no effort to rework Cato's stated positions in an encyclopedic, neutral way. 64.203.244.11 (talk) 14:46, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There exists no section on criticism, even though many have commented on contributions to climate denialism, and smoking lobbying, etc. Onhand I have no specific examples but I’m sure they could be found rather easily. 2600:4041:5804:2500:6056:CFD4:8105:DB7 (talk) 01:36, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism is good, especially on this anti-science organization, but criticism sections are not. See WP:CSECTION. --Hob Gadling (talk) 07:57, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sidebar lists this organization as formerly the "Charles Koch Foundation" and "Cato Foundation," but the article states, "The institute was founded in January 1977 in San Francisco, California; named at the suggestion of cofounder Murray Rothbard after Cato's Letters …"

If these were indeed earlier names, then an explanation should be given under "History" with a citation. A.T.S. in Texas (talk) 23:01, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
