Updating partner information edit

Latest comment: 9 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. I implemented your first and third requests. I omitted the second: all four founding partners are mentioned by full name in the lede, so for consistency I left them all as surnames in the first sentence of Company history. I plan to simplify your prose a little. Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 15:41, 30 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. Since submitting this draft in December, one of Vianovo's partners has left the firm and a new partner has been added. I've prepared some updates for the article that reflect these changes, but, as mentioned previously, I'm working on behalf of Vianovo, so I don't want to make any edits myself. I'd appreciate it if another editor could look over the changes and sources I'm suggesting and update the article if they look OK.

First, I've updated the last sentence of the Company overview section that lists all the partners. I've removed Matthew Dowd, who left the firm, and added Katherine Nash Goehring, who joined Vianovo in January. Here's the update:

Vianovo is led by eight partners. They are Blaine Bull, Tucker Eskew, Matthew Miller,^[1] Billy Moore,^[2] Katherine Nash Goehring,^[3] Robert Norcross,^[2] Michael Shannon^[2] and James Taylor.^[4]

In addition, the first sentence of the Company history section should include Dowd's full name, since, with the above change, he will not have been mentioned in the article yet. Here's the full sentence updated:

Vianovo was established as a bipartisan firm in May 2005 by political strategists Bull, Eskew, Taylor and Matthew Dowd.^[5]

Finally, here's a new paragraph to be added to the end of the Company history section that details Dowd's departure and Nash Goehring's arrival:

Founding partner Matthew Dowd left Vianovo in January 2015 to launch Paradox Capital, a social impact venture fund.^[6] Vianovo announced in March 2015 that Katherine Nash Goehring became partner at the consultancy.^[3] Prior to that, Goehring led communications and investor relations for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.^[7]

Thanks for looking. Let me know if you have any questions or changes to what I've proposed. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 18:17, 21 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Resolved

Hello! Vianovo has asked me to suggest for inclusion two recent developments that will bring the article up to date. I initially wrote this article in 2014 on Vianovo's behalf as part of my work with Beutler Ink. Because of my financial conflict of interest, I won't make the changes myself, but instead I'm posting them here for others to review and implement if acceptable. Here are the updates:

Accepted * Add Valeant Pharmaceuticals and the Bears for Leadership Reform, two new clients, to the sentence regarding "notable clients" in the Company overview section: updated as requested. I made current the new citations added today; one of the earlier was sign-in-only and I accept it on faith because of your careful work and credibility. ツ More to come, thanks! Fylbecatulous talk 20:58, 19 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

- Revised sentence: Notable clients have included AT&T,^[1] the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,^[2] the NBA,^[3] Malaria No More,^[4] Valeant Pharmaceuticals,^[5] and Bears for Leadership Reform.^[6]

Accepted * Add the most recent poll about American's view on Mexico to Notable projects (only the 2012 survey is referenced). Exactly so. Updated all three access dates for citations. Fylbecatulous talk 21:18, 19 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

- Revised sentence: In both 2012 and 2016, the firm and advertising agency GSD&M conducted a national poll of U.S. adults measuring American perceptions of Mexico.^[7]^[8]^[9]

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this new material. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 14:07, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Davisonio and Hroðulf: I know my former colleague User:Heatherer reached out to both of you before, but I am still searching for someone who can help review a couple edit requests for this article, if either of you are available. Thank you. Inkian Jason (talk) 15:23, 5 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Dodger67 and GeoffreyT2000: Sorry to bother, but I've asked for help at 7 different WikiProjects as well as specific editors, but so far no one has responded to help with this 3-month-old edit request. I'm not sure if you respond to edit requests, but I thought I'd ask since you helped me with Articles for Creation submissions before. Would either of you be able to help with this edit request, or the one below? Both are short and straightforward, and I'm checking often to reply to any questions or concerns on this talk page. Thanks for considering. Inkian Jason (talk) 20:29, 8 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Fylbecatulous: You've been so helpful with edit requests in the past. Might you be willing to assist with this edit request, and/or the one below? I've asked for help from so many WikiProjects and individual editors, but so far no one has acknowledged any of my requests, and I really don't think either will take long to review. If you are unavailable, or uninterested, no problem. Inkian Jason (talk) 20:16, 15 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Done Inkian Jason, i am closing the open request since an open one lies just beneath. I have ticked my work as done. Please mark "resolved" if you approve or have nothing else regarding these two edits. Please ping is there is more lacking or desired. I will assume guardianship for the following section (not forecasting any problems..) All the best, Fylbecatulous talk 21:29, 19 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Fylbecatulous: Thank you for your help. I have marked this section as resolved. Inkian Jason (talk) 16:15, 20 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Additional edit request edit

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Resolved

Accepted * Updating this request to add one additional edit for the Notable projects section. Could this paragraph be added to the end of the section to provide more information about the two new clients noted above?

In 2015, Valeant Pharmaceuticals hired Vianovo for crisis management support related to public scrutiny and congressional investigations of the company’s drug pricing.^[1] In 2016, the firm began representing Bears for Leadership Reform, a group of Baylor University alumni advocating for transparency and changes to the university’s governance in response to its sexual assault scandal.^[2]^[3]

Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 19:07, 23 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Update: I am stepping away from this project, but a colleague from Beutler Ink will be taking over and available to address questions or feedback about these requests. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 00:22, 16 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I worked with User:Heatherer and I am happy to address any questions or concerns about this edit request. I have added a COI template to the top of this talk page and separated the above edit requests into 2 for easier review. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 18:04, 18 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Done Inkian Jason, as requested. I am also closing this request as affirmatively answered. Please review before signing away this request. Thanks again !!
