About Us

Hello,

I work in the communications team at Aviva and would like to propose some changes to our Wikipedia article.

There are some factual updates that I’d like to make to the Senior Management section: WP:NPOV

Suggested changes

Senior management:

On 12th September 2014 Aviva announced that Sir Adrian Montague will become non-executive chairman on the retirement of John McFarlane at the Aviva AGM in April 2015.

Current paragraph 1:

CEO Richard Harvey retired on 11 July 2007. His successor was Andrew Moss, the former group finance director. Moss was paid an annual base salary of £925,000 for his role as Chief Executive. Moss resigned on 8 May 2012 after shareholders voted down a proposed senior management pay deal which would have seen Moss increase his basic pay by 5% despite several years of Aviva underperformance. John McFarlane was appointed to the board of Aviva plc in September 2011. Following the departure of Aviva’s CEO, Andrew Moss, McFarlane assumed the role of executive deputy chairman and became executive chairman on 1 July 2012. On 20 November 2012, Aviva announced that Mark Wilson had been appointed CEO, starting 1 January 2013.

We would like to make an amendment to the phonetics in our Wikipedia description please. Google uses Wikipedia to enhance its searches and often publishes the first few lines of a Wikipedia article on the right hand side of results pages. When it replicates the Wikipedia article, it always removes the phonetic description. Aviva currently has two phonetic descriptions which means that when google pulls the Wikipedia article through, there is a random ‘or’ in the first sentence. Would it be possible to remove one of the phonetic descriptions please? I have been liaising with WikiMedia UK who advised that the best way to make this amend was to log a request on our ‘Talk’ page.

Thanks --HayleySandford (talk) 13:53, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

I have removed the second phonetic description. I hope that works. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 20:50, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Suggested changes

Can we please amend the customer number in the first paragraph to 33 million customers.
