Updating Mark Fields' Title
[edit]Hi, I'm the U.S. Social Media Manager for Ford Motor Company and wanted to request an update to this page. In the "Career in business" section, it's been updated to reflect that Mark was named Chief Operating Officer, Ford Motor Company but the first paragraph and the occupation line in the right-hand highlighted box don't reflect that. Can the first paragraph and highlighted box be updated to show his occupation as "Chief Operating Officer, Ford Motor Company," please? This can be verified in the official corporate press release found here: [1] Karenuntereker (talk) 18:09, 11 October 2013 (UTC)karenuntereker
Hi there - just following up on this request. Again, Mark Fields is the Chief Operating Officer and we're hoping to have that reflected in the first line and in the blue box to the right. (It is correct within the bio at the end). We have his corporate biography here: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/people/mark-fields.html and the press release naming him COO: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2012/11/01/ford-says-mulally-to-remain-as-president-and-ceo-through-at-leas.html 136.2.1.105 (talk) 20:23, 16 October 2013 (UTC)karenuntereker
- Thanks for that - I've updated the page. :) - Bilby (talk) 14:22, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Birth name
[edit]A reference states that the birth name of Fields is Finkelman (see here.) A member of his PR team, User:Amandazusman (see edit summary here), states that the name information is incorrect. As this is a BLP, I thought this should be discussed and determined if reliable sources indicate the correct birth name. Thanks, Bahooka (talk) 17:12, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
