New information and references to add[edit]

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

Hi, my name is Craig and I work at Uber Technologies. I've been discussing making improvements to Uber's article with several helpful and friendly editors for a few months, and it's been an enjoyable process so far. I have some proposed changes to this article as well, and I'm hoping some editors might aid me in expanding it beyond the stub class and keeping the information accurate and current. I'm always open to any questions or suggestions you might have!

As I had changes throughout the article, I've put a draft version into my user space, which will make it easier for editors here to read, edit as needed and offer feedback: Niall Wass Draft

Currently, this article does not mention Niall's work at Uber, although this has received notable media coverage. Although I'm mainly interested in clarifying information and making sure that Niall's current role at Uber is accurately described, I've also spotted a few issues that editors will likely want to fix. All of the below have been addressed in the draft version in my user space, but to quickly summarize so you can see what I've done and why:

Added an infobox
In the introduction, added Niall's current position as senior vice president of Uber Technologies' Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia, and director of Uber BV, and fixed the citation supporting Niall's MBA, which currently leads to an error message.
In Early career, added a bit more detail on his roles at Breit Private Equity and Accenture. Also, replaced Casino Scam Report with a more reputable reference.
In the Wonga.com section, reworded the first sentence and replaced the cited offline source with one that is available online.
Removed the mention of Niall's interview with ITV News, because it wasn't as noteworthy as some of the other facts, and its only citation was a dead link. I also took out the mention of Wonga Technology Limited, as it was not mentioned in the source cited, and removed the last phrase in the section, "and possibly other Wonga group companies".
Wrote a new section for the article outlining Niall's role and professional history at Uber.

I do want to reiterate that I won't be making any changes to the article myself. I do work for Uber, and I respect that my WP:COI keeps me from editing this page. However, I enjoy discussing changes with editors, and I hope someone takes an interest in what I've proposed! Thanks, Craig at Uber (talk) 17:47, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Alterations I've made include a compacted intro paragraph and better ordering of the job description in the infobox. I've wikilinked Accenture, Betfair, Wonga.com in the article. Stickee (talk) 04:57, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Stickee! Your edits look good to me, appreciate your help here. If you have time and would want to, I also have a draft I'm proposing for the Uber article to make the History section there clearer, and would welcome your thoughts. Craig at Uber (talk) 02:01, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
