COI edit requests
[edit]![]() | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. |
Hi! I'm a COI editor for BrightDrop, a client of FleishmanHillard, a sister agency of my employer Porter Novelli. A few edit requests for this article:
- Add to infobox:
- |website = Travis Katz on Twitter
- At end of "Early life and education", delete
Katz currently resides with his family in Menlo Park, California.[1]
, which is redundant of the beginning of "Personal life". - The second source cited in the "World Bank" subsection of "Career" is authored by Katz and not independent, so I think it makes sense to delete that second sentence entirely.
- In "Trip.com" subsection, update
- Following the acquisition, Katz worked as VP, Product for Skyscanner (a CTrip company), where Trip.com's reviews and predictive intelligence was integrated.[2]
- to
- Following the acquisition, Katz worked as vice president of product for Skyscanner, a Ctrip company, where Trip.com's reviews and photos were integrated.[3]
- The source in the original text doesn't substantiate the information, so I swapped in a new source and tweaked the text to reflect.
- Add to end of BrightDrop:
- In "Personal life", update first sentence from
- Katz lives with his wife and 2 children in Menlo Park, California.
- to
- Katz lives with his family in Menlo Park, California.[11]
- Adding ref and revising text to reflect.

Partly done: The Career section was blank at the time of my edit, so I could not do your request there and decided to delete it completely. Everything else done. casualdejekyll 02:04, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Casualdejekyll: Thanks for your help! I believe the Career section was empty because it encompassed the four sub-sections covering Katz's career (World Bank through BrightDrop) – cf. Jeff Bezos#Business career. Given that, would it be OK to restore the section header? Right now it looks like each of the career subsections is a subsection of "Education and early life" instead. Also, the sentence I'm proposing deleting is in the "World Bank" section:
In 1996, he joined the World Bank-United Nations Development Program Water and Santiation Program, where he led research on how to improve the sustainability of investments in clean drinking water in emerging markets.[12]
Finally, double checking if it's possible to add the "website" parameter to the infobox as I described in my first bullet above. Thank you again! Mary Gaulke (talk) 21:10, 7 February 2022 (UTC)- @MaryGaulke I have no clue how I missed that! Man, I can be dense sometimes.
Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. casualdejekyll 16:22, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you kindly! This is done. Mary Gaulke (talk) 18:04, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
