Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. [see below]
Hello! On behalf of Russell Investments and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I'd like to propose an update to this Wikipedia article.
In addition to being included in American Banker's 2019 list of the "most powerful women in finance", the subject was recently included in a similar list for 2020 (source). I propose adding mention of her 2020 list inclusion along with two claims to the Career section crediting her with two specific accomplishments.
I've drafted an updated Career section at User:Inkian Jason/Michelle Seitz, and this diff shows specific changes. I understand editors may prefer paraphrasing over direct quotes, but since she is being credited with quite specific accomplishments and given my conflict of interest, I thought simply stating exactly what American Banker published would be best. Could some please review the proposed Career section and move over to the live article appropriately?
@Kaldari: Apart from paraphrase vs. direct quote consideration, I'd like to think this is a somewhat noncontroversial update. Since you moved the draft article into the main space for "easily [passing] WP:GNG", I was wondering if you'd be willing to review this request. I've proposed specific changes and provided markup for easy copying and pasting, if that helps. Thanks. Inkian Jason (talk) 18:11, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Inkian Jason: I implemented some of your requested changes. The quotations from American Banker seemed a bit unencyclopedic and promotional. We want broad strokes here that don't suffer from recentism. Will the specific revenue increases she achieved last year still be important 50 years from now? Probably not. Will how she weathered the economic effects of the pandemic still be important 50 years from now? Maybe so. Hope that makes sense. Kaldari (talk) 15:37, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Kaldari: Thank you very much for reviewing. I'm fine letting editors decide which accomplishments are worth noting. I will be posting a similar request for the Other roles section momentarily, if you're willing to take a look. I didn't want to give editors too much to review at once, but the final request should also be quick to review. Thanks again! Inkian Jason (talk) 15:45, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
In addition to the above Career section request, I propose adding the following text about her leadership roles at another notable company, William Blair & Company, to the end of the introduction: "Prior to her role at Russell Investments, she served on the board of William Blair & Company and as chief executive of William Blair Investment Management." The claim is confirmed within the article body. Thanks in advance! Inkian Jason (talk) 18:57, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
@Kaldari: Using the same source, I propose this change to the Other roles section to add mention of her founding roles at All In Seattle and the Chicago Council's Women and Global Development Forum. Would you please consider updating the article appropriately if you agree? Inkian Jason (talk) 16:07, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
