Hi there, I work at Delta Air Lines and have been charged with helping improve Ed Bastian's Wikipedia page. I've disclosed my COI above, as well as on my user page. I will not be editing the article directly, but will propose suggested content inclusions since the page currently has zero content. @User:AKS.9955 since you created Ed's page, I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping with the edits so there is not a blank page in place? I've crafted suggested draft below for review, based on his official bio. Avgalatl (talk) 21:57, 27 November 2018 (UTC)Avgalatl[reply]

Hi again, I'm wondering if _INDEX_ template can be implemented to this article so when searching in Google, information from the Wikipedia page feeds into the Ed Bastian Google knowledge panel? Is this something that can be requested? Thanks! I've disclosed my COI above, as well as on my user page. Avgalatl (talk) 15:48, 17 December 2018 (UTC) Avgalatl[reply]

Please know that all posts made on talk pages, including edit requests, are placed at the bottom of the talk page.
In answer to your request, articles are only indexed after 90 days. Articles younger than that are not indexed, and the use of __INDEX__ will not work on them.

Information to be removed: Bastian is married. His wife's name is Anna. Explanation of issue: Bastian is no longer married, although this is not cited in public articles.
