        I read the whole thing. I didn’t see any examples of “it is curious”, only “I am curious”.

          You’re really making me work for it when you could just read it and back off:

          The specific usage of “curious if” is perfectly acceptable in much the say way that “curious whether” is acceptable. It does not imply a conditional.

          I’m curious whether other people feel like I do.

          “Curious,” by the way, has a few other variants:

          I’m curious if other people feel like I do.

          I’m curious as to whether other people feel like I do.

          I’m curious about whether people feel like I do.

          To directly answer your question:

          However, is it actually improper or logically incorrect?

          No, it is not improper or logically incorrect. Which of these is more appropriate is a matter of personal and regional preferences.

            So a complete version of your original comment would be, per these examples, “I am curious about who sponsored it”? Because my original reply was a response to the implied question: it says who sponsored it in the article, so you can read it and find out. If my inference was incorrect, please clarify. That’s why I recommended using complete, unambiguous sentences in the first place.
