Expanded and updated draft[edit]

Resolved

On behalf of Anne Finucane and Bank of America via PR agency Group SJR, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I have drafted an expanded version of this Wikipedia article for community review. The current article is minimal, leaving much opportunity for improvement, and I've worked to create an accurate and neutral overview of her early life and education, career, and personal life, using Wikipedia-appropriate sourcing. I've aimed to expand this article based on the range of in-depth sources available about Ms. Finucane to give an encyclopedic overview of her life and work. In short, the draft includes new material about:

  • her family and upbringing, alma mater, and early work
  • her transition into the banking industry, employers and roles held for each
  • major recognitions she received, and demonstration of impact within the banking industry
  • her marriage and number of children, and board positions

The draft also displays an infobox with a new photograph I've recently uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. (Bank of America has submitted a permissions email to OTRS, but the permissions hasn't been updated to reflect receipt of this yet.)

I am looking for an editor who is willing to review my proposed draft here, and copy over the markup appropriately. @Edwardx: Since you created this stub, would you be interested in taking a look at the draft? I hope you'll find this is a quality biographical overview, and I'm happy to address any concerns or question here. If you're busy elsewhere, I may try reaching out to WikiProject Women in Red or WikiProject Women members for their feedback, given that the article seems to have been created as part of a WikiProject Women in Red contest.

@Victuallers: Thank you for reviewing the draft and copying over markup appropriately. I really appreciate your help. I did see one typo in the "Personal life" section ("has was president" guessing should be "and was president"), and I also noticed broken formatting/linking for "the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation". Do you mind adjusting the wording and formatting here? Otherwise, I think your changes to the proposed draft look good and I thank you again for your help.

Actually, there errors seem to have been addressed in this edit. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 17:21, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image[edit]

Hello again! On behalf of Ms. Finucane and Bank of America, I am requesting replacement of the current infobox image, which shows Ms. Finucane's side profile, with File:Anne Finucane.jpg, which was taken more recently and serves as a better illustration by showing her face on. Bank of America has already submitted a permissions email to OTRS, but the permissions hasn't been updated yet. I don't edit articles directly because of my COI, but I'm hoping a volunteer editor agrees this is an improvement and is willing to update the infobox. "Finucane in 2018" would be an appropriate caption. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 18:18, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Done and I moved the previous image lower in the article. L293D (☎ • ✎) 15:08, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

General Counsel[edit]

Hello! My name is Paul and I work for Precision Strategies. I'd like to submit an edit request on behalf of Bank of America:

Under Early life and education, please change "was a lawyer who worked for the Boston Patriots and local banks" to "was general counsel to the Boston Patriots and local banks", per The Boston Globe (February 5 and February 7, 2017), which say "Mr. Finucane who served as general counsel to the Boston Patriots..."

I have a couple additional requests as well, which I'll share later. @L293D: I see you reviewed a request above, if you're willing to consider this one as well.

Thanks for reviewing and updating appropriately, PB Precision (talk) 14:35, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit done. Boredathome101 (talk) 03:25, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Committees[edit]

@Boredathome101: Thanks for your help above. I noticed there's a stray quotation mark in front of "was general counsel to the Boston Patriots and local banks", if you're able to remove. Thanks! I'd now like to submit a request to update the committees mentioned in the introduction and "Career in banking" section.

Currently, the introduction says:

  • She leads the bank's environmental, social and corporate governance committee.

I propose changing this to the following:

  • She leads the bank's socially responsible investing, global public policy, and environmental, social and corporate governance committee, and she serves as chairperson of Bank of America Europe.

Here are sources to justify the change:

  • Euromoney (link): "... with vice-chairman Anne Finucane at the helm of the company's ESG, sustainable finance, capital deployment and public policy efforts..."
  • Politico (link): "... Vice Chair Anne Finucane who oversees the bank’s sustainable investing arm."
  • NBC News and Fortune confirm her role as chair of Bank of America Europe.

Similarly, the "Career in banking" section currently says:

I propose changing this to the following:

Thanks for reviewing and updating appropriately, PB Precision (talk) 19:29, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Boredathome101: Thanks for reviewing and updating the article. However, Anne Finucane serves as vice chair of Bank of America and chair of the board of Bank of America Europe (source). Do you mind clarifying this in the article's text? PB Precision (talk) 14:09, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Boredathome101: No problem, thanks for revisiting! I think the extra space at the end of the first sentence can be removed, and I'm submitting another request below if you have time to take a look. Thanks again! PB Precision (talk) 15:22, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rankings[edit]

I would like to propose another improvement to this Wikipedia article. The current Recognition section is comprehensive but fails to mention a few more recent rankings. Specifically, I propose adding mention of Fortune's Most Powerful Women rankings in 2018, 2019, and 2020, per these sources:

Again, I'm seeking to update the existing text, which only mentions the 2016 and 2017 lists. Additionally, I'd like to propose adding mention of this power couple ranking by Boston magazine to the Personal life section, after the first sentence which mentions Mike Barnicle. I'm open to alternative wording, but I have the following in mind: In 2012, Boston magazine included Finucane and Barnicle in a list of the city's "power couples".[1]

I'm hoping Boredathome101 or another editor can update the article's text on my behalf. Thank you for reviewing! PB Precision (talk) 15:22, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@LauritzT: Thanks for your help here. I am pleased to see the information updated. I've submitted a follow-up request below, seeking to simplify the sentence for readability purposes, if you have a moment to review. PB Precision (talk) 16:23, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Simplify sentence[edit]

Related to the above request, I'd like to propose simplifying one specific sentence in the Recognition section for readability purposes.

Currently, the sentence says:

The latter version removes the specific list placements, but makes the sentence easier to read and otherwise conveys the same information to readers. All sources have been kept but I've bundled a few citations. I understand editors may prefer to keep the specific numbers, but if the details aren't required I'd appreciate someone updating the sentence on my behalf. I'm hoping User:LauritzT might be interested in reviewing. Thanks again!

I want to make sure[edit]

There is transportation from Bank of America that I have some dues with the bank. Is this true or is it a fraud by some people? I hope you will reply to my email thomasfi6m@yahoo.com 41.235.231.88 (talk) 08:07, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
