Jane Fraser (banking) edit

  • New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Will cited, including the facts supporting the hook. Spot checking with dup detector found no close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. NPOV, although it veers close to hagiography at times. It's not really accurate to say she graduated with an MA. At Oxbridge, you can convert a BA to an MA after six years or so just on payment of a fee. It would be more accurate to say that she graduated with a BA or a "bachelor's degree". The hook is not wrong, but people might be misled. Only in banks are fancy titles handed out like candy - most companies have just one CEO. So, I've added a slightly different ALT1 which I think better describes the reality. Edwardx (talk) 20:18, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
  • @Edwardx: thanks for the review. I'd be happy to remove what you think is hagiography, although I might say that this was one of the more interesting Women in Leadership articles that I've done, as I was able to expand it beyond a bare-bones CV. Regarding the degree, we could certainly change it to a BA, but none of the sources say that: all of them call it an MA. Another editor changed the link to reflect the degree at Cambridge. I think your ALT1 hook reads better, thanks. Yoninah (talk) 21:03, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Thank you. On reflection, I'm happy enough with the article, and as you're okay with the slightly tweaked ALT1, we're good to go! Edwardx (talk) 11:41, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
