Edit Request: Infobox and Proposed New Section

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Jim Umpleby. (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.

NOTE: I’m proposing the following edits for FleishmanHillard on behalf of Caterpillar, Inc. I’m a paid editor and aware of the COI guidelines. I’m proposing the following edits to seek an infobox update and a potential new section about Jim’s board memberships. Please let me know of any questions as you review. Thanks for your time and consideration. Jon Gray (talk) 16:58, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Jim is correctly listed as Caterpillar, Inc.’s CEO, but he also serves as company chairman.^[1] As such, we propose adding “Chairman” to his titles in the infobox.

Boards and Memberships (Newly Proposed Section)

Propose creating a new section called “Board Memberships” and moving the final sentence of the “Career” section (“Umpleby was elected to the board of directors of Chevron…”) into this new section.
Also propose adding the following passage to this new section (after the sentence mentioned above):

Umpleby also serves on the board of the US-China Business Council^[2], the Peterson Institute for International Economics^[3]and the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.^[4]He is also a member of Business Roundtable^[5], The Business Council^[6] and the National Petroleum Council ^[7].

Lead

An editor added “(The Umpire)” as Jim’s nickname, but that is not true, nor can it be backed by any credible source. As such, I propose removing “(The Umpire)” from the lead sentence.

Biography – Early life and education

An editor also added the following sentences in this section, which are also erroneous and unsourced: “Upon graduating, he quickly put his mechanical engineering degree to work with multiple inventions. Notable inventions include a refrigerator capable of also heating on the inside, a microwave/tv combo, and a vibrating hammer. He was unable to receive any financial support for his inventions so he quickly gave up his dreams and pursued corporate work.” Jim has not been involved with the creations of these inventions, nor is he credited with any of their patents. As such, and given the lack of sourcing for these claims, I propose removal of these three sentences from the article as well.
