Talk:Michael Kim (businessman)

Request edit

My name is Michael B. Kim, and I noticed there are several errors on the Wikipedia page describing me personally in "Michael Kim (businessman)":

- the name "Michael Kim" should be changed to "Michael B. Kim" (long version "Michael ByungJu Kim") - "graduated from Haverford College" should be changed to "graduated with Honors from Haverford College" - "as president of Asia" should be changed to "as President of Carlyle Asia" - "and the Metropolitan Museum" should be changed to ", The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Carnegie Hall" - In the last line under "Career," there should be added, "Kim was named one of Bloomberg's "50 Most Influential People in the World" in 2015." - Under "Philanthropy," there should be added "In 2018, he endowed a $5 million Michael B. Kim Associate Professorship of Business Administration at Harvard University. Kim was named CKA's "Philanthropist of the Year" in 2017."

All of this corrected information may be verifiably sourced at www.mbkpartnerslp.com, except CKA's Philanthropist of the Year (which may be verified at www.councilcka.org).

1. Y The name is already styled as the full name, but I have changed the capitalization as you requested. Please let me know if this is incorrect.
2. Y President of Asia was changed to President of Carlyle Asia.
3. N With Honors is a minor detail of a graduate degree and would need sourcing from Haverford itself.
4. N The Met's standard name as shown in the Wikilink is appropriate to use.
5. N The claim for 50 Most Influential (Bloomberg Markets ranking) needs to be referenced by Bloomberg.
6. N The subject's actions as a philanthropist are indeed noble causes. However, these claims are best mentioned elsewhere. (See WP:NOBLECAUSE.)

Thank you for the edit implementation. I have several clarifications as well as the requested source links:

1. I was asking for the title of the entry to be renamed "Michael B. Kim." That's my legal name, and it may help in distinguishing from the many other Michael Kims.

2. The president in "President of Carlyle Asia" should be initial-capitalized because it's an official title.

3. The source for verification of "with Honors": https://www.haverford.edu/college-communications/news/haverford-announces-new-members-its-board-managers

4. I understand on the Metropolitan Museum name. Please add Carnegie Hall, a separate institution and board. The source: https://www.carnegiehall.org/About/Leadership-and-Staff/Board-of-Trustees

6. The correct ranking list is "Bloomberg Markets 50 Most Influential." The source: https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-markets-most-influential/#kim

Thank you.

1. N Requests to change the title of the article are handled by Requested moves (controversial section).
2. N The p in president is only capitalized when:
   1. Followed by a person's name to form a title
   2. When a title is used to refer to a specific and obvious person as a substitute for their name, e.g., the Queen, not the queen
   3. When a formal title for a specific entity is addressed as a title or position in and of itself, is not plural, and is not preceded by a modifier (including a definite or indefinite article), and is not a reworded description, per MOS:JOBTITLE.
3. N The with Honors designation is attached to Mr. Kim's undergraduate degree. These types of degrees are typically omitted in articles.
4. Y The Bloomberg ranking was added to the article.
5. Y The position as a trustee for Carnegie was added to the article.
