Conflict of Interest Edit Request to Key People
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. |
- What I think should be changed:
The Key People section. Specifically, the CFO and COO. There are also additional key people who should be added (CLO, CTO and CBO). The Key People section should read: Prashant Fuloria (CEO) Todd Hamblet (CLO) Rina Jariwala (COO) Renuka Nayani (CFO) Ofer Karp (CTO) Anchit Singh (CBO)
- Why it should be changed:
I want to be transparent and disclose that I am currently employed by Fundbox as a Senior Lifecycle Marketing Manager. As a current employee, it has come to my attention that our Wikipedia page lists outdated information. The article states that Marten Abrahamsen is the current CFO and Cetin Duransoy is the President and COO. However, they no longer work at Fundbox.

- Hi, thank you for your request above. Please note that LinkedIn (as user-created content) is not admissible as a reliable source (as per WP:RS). Do you have an alternative source in relation to Renuka Nayani? If the appointment can only be sourced to a subject's own social media I am thinking that the appointment cannot be of encyclopaedic interest, if you see what I mean. Axad12 (talk) 17:19, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Axad12thank you for your response! I've included an updated source for Renuka Nayani below.
- https://theorg.com/org/fundbox/org-chart/renuka-nayani
- I also wanted to share a new source to validate Anchit Singh's title of Chief Business Officer.
- https://fox40.com/business/press-releases/globenewswire/9262414/fundbox-selected-as-an-inc-com-b2b-power-partner-for-leadership-in-embedded-capital/
- Please let me know if you require any other information at this time. Thanks again! LucyPDilworth (talk) 15:34, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Re: Renuka Nayani, that is still user-created content and thus inadmissible. Axad12 (talk) 15:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies, please find an updated source below.

- That is a press release and also inadmissible. Axad12 (talk) 16:01, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Not done: Having looked through the sourcing provided in the original request and subsequently, it is clear that the great majority (or entirety) of the material is either user-created social media, outright press releases, press releases embedded into media channels which are non-independent, or are otherwise non-reliable / non-independent sources. I thus have no option but to decline the COI edit request. Axad12 (talk) 16:19, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Axad12 Thank you for your note. I understand some of the sources are considered self-published media, and therefore, inadmissible. However, the following updates should follow the sourcing guidelines and policies required by Wikipedia.
- Prashant Fuloria (CEO)
- Source: https://www.pymnts.com/personnel/2020/fundbox-founder-steps-aside-as-ceo/
- Todd Hamblet (CLO)
- Source: https://www.law.com/corpcounsel/2019/10/29/ex-dealmaker-for-uber-joins-fintech-startup-fundbox-as-chief-legal-officer/?slreturn=20241028125237

- Hi, Based on looking at the 'Advertise with Us' link at the bottom of the Law.Com article I'm not convinced it is an independent source and not an embedded story. Pymnts.com seems to be a regurgitated press release. Calcalistech.com I cannot tell, but based on the rest of the sourcing you have provided I am disinclined to accept it. Apologies, Axad12 (talk) 18:08, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi there, can I ask why it is a blanket policy that we cannot link out to press releases (especially when picked up by third-parties or reputable news sources) to validate our current employees? These are not opinions, but rather just a statement of fact. Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide! LucyPDilworth (talk) 18:44, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Because press releases are non-independent.
- Readers of the encyclopaedia are entitled to have confidence that the material they read here has been sourced from fully independent reliable news sources, not that it has been gleaned from company press releases.
- It is not a question of whether or not these are facts. The issue is whether they are notable facts reported by fully independent reliable sources.
- When material derives from media sources which regurgitate company press releases none of those criteria are satisfied. Axad12 (talk) 19:02, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Following Up on Edits to Infobox Key People
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
- What I think should be changed:
Key People Section Remove the following: Marten Abrahamsen (CFO)[3] Cetin Duransoy (President and COO)[4]
Add the following: Todd Hamblet (CLO) Ofer Karp (CTO)
- Why it should be changed:
Hi Wikipedia editors, I would like to follow up on my edit requests for the Key People section. I submitted an edit request last week, but it was declined due to "non-reliable/non-independent sources." I had disclosed that I currently work in marketing at Fundbox, and am just trying to ensure that our company page is accurate. Most of the employees listed in the Key People section no longer work at Fundbox, and therefore, the page contains false material. I wanted to push back on a few sources that were declined, as they are clearly independent third-party sources. I am hoping we can collaborate on making objective updates in order to keep our company page is accurate and up-to-date. Thank you!

- I'm reluctant to implement this request because from what I've seen in most company articles, convention is to just include CEO, Chair or President. I know the guidelines say properly sourced C-suite executives can be added, but they need to be quite notable, and perhaps notable enough to have their own article. If we add every C suite executive to every article, the list would get quite long and difficult to maintain. See WP:NOTDIR. What do others think? STEMinfo (talk) 05:10, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed 100%. Earlier today I was dealing with a request elsewhere for a non-FTSE 100 company who wanted to list 6 execs in the info box, none of whom were sufficiently notable to have their own Wikipedia article. Meanwhile FTSE 100 companies routinely seem to only list the CEO and chairman (both of whom are usually notable individuals with their own articles.
- Also, continually curating such lists as non-notable individuals leave and join is really just a waste of time as the info is non-encyclopaedic and cannot really be of interest or use to readers. Axad12 (talk) 18:41, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
