This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Hey there! I would like to start by disclosing that I am an employee at Emergent BioSolutions. Joseph Papa is our company's CEO, so that gives me a conflict of interest. I know that as a COI editor, I shouldn't edit Mr. Papa's article directly, so I'll keep myself confined to the Talk page and let other editors review and implement my edit requests.
For my first request, I noticed that the cited source for the Early life section is an old Forbes ranking that doesn't actually stipulate the focuses of Mr. Papa's degrees, or the years he received them. I've tried to find slightly better sources that contain this information. Here's what I've come up with:
^"Joseph Papa, '83". www.kellogg.northwestern.edu. 2024. Retrieved June 13, 2024.
I've kept the copy exactly the same as it is in the article, just replaced the old citation with three new ones. I'll now step aside and let independent editors do their thing. If anyone has any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to let me know! Thanks, Alicia at Emergent BioSolutions (talk) 19:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
