Article Move (Rename) Pre-Request

Given that this article is about the entirety of Laureate, not just the international universities, the title should be changed to Laureate Education. Is there any reason not to do so? If so, I will submit a formal move request. If not, I will go ahead and move it. - Frankie1969 (talk) 17:49, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds ok to me. ElKevbo is the master at this.CollegeMeltdown (talk) 21:45, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Since the LE article has edit history, I have submitted the change to Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. - Frankie1969 (talk) 16:02, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

COI disclosure and infobox updates

Hello, my name is Patrice. I'm here on behalf of my employer, Laureate Education. Per WP:COI, I've disclosed my conflict of interest here and on my Talk page. When I first came to Wikipedia, I was not aware of the rules for COI editors and made the mistake of directly editing this article. From now on, I will strictly follow the rules and as such will only post suggestions for updates and changes to the article here and on appropriate discussion pages. My goal here is to improve the quality of this article and the encyclopedia overall by providing up-to-date information, improving sourcing, addressing inaccuracies, and suggesting structural changes.

The first change I'd like to propose is the addition of some information to our company infobox. It appears common for infoboxes to list key people within the company and a link to the company's page. Ours currently only mentions the company's founder, Douglas Becker and does not include an external link to our website. I'd like to suggest the following:

Addition of our current CEO Eilif Serck-Hanssen, per this Baltimore Business Journal article.
Review the list of key people in The Wall Street Journal's profile of Laureate Education and add whoever editors feel is appropriate.
Addition of a link to Laureate Education's website.

Feel free to reach out with questions or comments here or on my talk page. Thanks! PMV1111 (talk) 05:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
