Adding better citations to Early life section[edit]

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Joseph C. Papa. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is high. Please be very patient. There are currently 153 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

Hey there! I would like to start by disclosing that I am an employee at Emergent BioSolutions. Joseph Papa is our company's CEO, so that gives me a conflict of interest. I know that as a COI editor, I shouldn't edit Mr. Papa's article directly, so I'll keep myself confined to the Talk page and let other editors review and implement my edit requests.

For my first request, I noticed that the cited source for the Early life section is an old Forbes ranking that doesn't actually stipulate the focuses of Mr. Papa's degrees, or the years he received them. I've tried to find slightly better sources that contain this information. Here's what I've come up with:

Papa received a bachelor's degree in pharmacy from the University of Connecticut in 1978,^[1] and an MBA degree in marketing and finance from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management in 1983.^[2]^[3]

I've kept the copy exactly the same as it is in the article, just replaced the old citation with three new ones. I'll now step aside and let independent editors do their thing. If anyone has any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to let me know! Thanks, Alicia at Emergent BioSolutions (talk) 19:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
