Executives

It is requested that edits be made to the following semi-protected articles:

D (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
A (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The executives in Corporate governance is outdated, as Guru Gowrappan is no longer part of Verizon following Apollo's acquisition of Verizon Media.^[1] Will editors consider removing Gowrappan from the list, and change "As of 2019" to "As of 2021"?

I work for Verizon and have a conflict of interest, so I ask others to make edits on my behalf. Thank you, VZEric (talk) 21:37, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. Tag:VZEric Signed, I Am Chaos (talk) 04:24, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@I Am Chaos: I appreciate you giving me permission to go ahead and make the update myself, but I strongly prefer not to do so given my conflict of interest. I have always kept my contributions to Talk pages and I would like to continue that for as long as possible so there is never confusion about my editing. Would you be willing to reconsider implementing this request on my behalf? Thank you, VZEric (talk) 12:23, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Manon Brouillette

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at A. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

Key people in the infobox is outdated. Manon Brouillette succeeded Ronan Dunne as executive vice president and chief executive officer of Verizon Consumer beginning on January 1, 2022.^[1] Would editors please consider updating this?

Bell Atlantic History

So there's a 17 year period of this company that just gets shafted by a single sentence? Where is the history of Bell Atlantic between 1983 and 2000, arguably one of the most dynamic periods of telecommunications and technology? 107.11.6.4 (talk) 14:06, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
