Dorami hack

Request for edit

Could someone please edit the first sentence to remove the redundant and vague word "ambassador," given that the next clause provides the official title. It makes it sound like he's an ambassador in addition to being the WTO representative for Grenada, when in fact it's one and the same position. Also, please remove the self-promotional and neutrality infringing term "record-breaking" from the sentence: "Sun placed the record-breaking $4.6 million bid to have a private lunch with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett..."

MelfarraTron (talk · contribs) has been paid by Tron DAO.

Hello, I'm Sam, an employee of Tron DAO. I am taking over the work of User:Ron at Tron here. Following up on Ron's work to update the infobox (thanks again User:CX Zoom), I have put together a list of suggested edits to update and give structure to the body of the article, and I will post them in a series of three edit requests (this being the first). I hope editors will review these suggested edits to the introduction and "Education" section and implement them on my behalf if they are seen as improvements to Wikipedia.

Introduction

Change the current introduction: "Justin Sun (Chinese: 孙宇晨; pinyin: Sūn Yǔchén; born July 30, 1990) is a Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur, and business executive. He is the founder of Tron (founded July 2017), a blockchain DAO ecosystem. Sun is the Permanent Representative of Grenada to the WTO."
- To: Justin Sun (Chinese: 孙宇晨; pinyin: Sūn Yǔchén; born July 30, 1990) is a Chinese-born diplomat, cryptocurrency entrepreneur, and business executive. He is best known as the founder of Tron, a blockchain DAO ecosystem, and for high-profile bidding events. Sun is the Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva.
  - Reason for the change: This adds Sun's current role as diplomat to the introductory sentence; adds appropriate wikilinks; adds his high-profile bidding events (for which Sun has generated significant coverage); and spells out World Trade Organization

Education

Change section title: "Education"
- To: "Early life and education"
  - Reason for the change: This meets the style typically used on biography articles

Change: "B.A. in History"
- To: "Bachelor of Arts degree in history"
  - Reason for the change: Basic copy editing

Change: M.A. in East Asia Studies
- To: "Master of Arts degree in East Asian studies"
  - Reason for the change: Basic copy editing and wikilink

Add to the end of the section: "It was at UPenn where Sun became interested in cryptocurrency and invested early in bitcoin.^[1] Sun was a protégé of Alibaba Group founder Jack Ma; he studied at Hupan University, a business school in China founded by Ma, where Sun was recognized as the school's first Millennial graduate in 2018.^[2] Sun became the cover figure of Yazhou Zhoukan in 2011,^[1] and became a Davos Global Shaper in 2014.^[3]"
- Reason for the change: Adds important context about Sun's interest in cryptocurrency; adds context to Sun's time at Hupan University; copy edits info on Yozhou Zhoukan and Davos Global Shapers, which is currently in the "Career" section, but is more appropriate in "Early life and education"
