Requesting updates
Hello! As the official Walmart representative on Wikipedia, I have possible updates for this article. Like my colleague before me, I am limiting myself to Talk pages because of my conflict of interest. I ask editors to consider the following:
Introduction/infobox
- The article says Judith McKenna was born in 1966/1967. According to BBC Radio 4, McKenna was born in 1966 in Middlesbrough.[1] Can editors update the infobox and introduction with this information?
Career
- This sentence says Judith McKenna was promoted, but it does not identify her previous role as Asda's CFO: "McKenna was promoted to chief operating officer (COO) of Asda in July 2011." I propose rewriting that sentence:
- McKenna served as chief financial officer at Asda before being promoted to chief operating officer (COO) in July 2011.[2][3]
- Can editors fix the typo in the last sentence of Career? "Thast" should be "that".
I will have more updates later, but this is a start. If there are questions, we can discuss here. Thanks, Elizabeth at Walmart (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Requesting additional updates
Hello! As the official Walmart representative on Wikipedia, I have created an updated draft of this article. Like my colleague before me, I am limiting myself to Talk pages because of my conflict of interest. I ask editors to consider the following draft in my user space.
Since this article is a stub, I have researched and put together a few updates that you'll see in my draft, which I pulled out here. I have tried hard to ensure that the content I'm proposing is presented as encyclopedic, neutral, and verified by third-party sourcing:
- I fixed an inaccuracy in the infobox (it says McKenna became CEO of Walmart International in January 2018. It was in fact February 2018)
- I broke the current introduction into separate sentences, and added Judith McKenna's other high-profile roles at Walmart U.S. and Asda
- I removed trivial information about non-notable family members from Early life
- I clarified the wording regarding her law degree at University of Hull
- I added a sentence about her qualifying as a chartered accountant with KPMG
- I updated Career to include her roles at Walmart International and Walmart U.S., several initiatives attributed to her in independent sources, and recognition by Fortune's list of 50 Most Powerful Women from 2015 through 2018
As editors consider theses updates, I will also work on getting an image that can be used with this biography. If there are questions, I can answer them here. Thanks, Elizabeth at Walmart (talk) 16:39, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
