I have a COI/financial connection/affiliation with Kheradpir's former employer, Juniper Networks. I began working on a more proper draft article on November 3rd, while he was still the current CEO of the company. Since I already completed a first draft and there is still some content relevant to Juniper's corporate affairs, we decided to improve the page anyway.
The current article relies heavily on press releases and primary sources. It also contains promotional content like awards, "at the forefront of consumer Internet" and the usual promotional fodder. This seems especially unnecessary, because there are plenty of strong sources available through the library that do in fact support a very positive profile on him without needing to use promotional language and poor sources.
To avoid even the remote appearance of impropriety, I'd like to ask a disinterested editor to review and consider the draft at User:CorporateM/Shaygan_Kheradpir, per WP:COI. Thanks in advance for your time! CorporateM ( Talk) 18:50, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
Recent edits by SPA user:Intchar* do not appear to be directly supported by the sources given and are often exaggerations of what is actually stated in the source. It adds promotional content like "and the need to orient IT programs around the consumerization of technology, in which people, not businesses, drive technology development" and seems to remove sourced content about the size of budget he controlled, the prototyping process he implemented at Verizon and so on. A press release was used as the primary citation for his work on the TRANSFORM program at Barclays.
I think the article would be much improved if the article was reverted to its prior state. CorporateM ( Talk) 08:04, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Requesting someone restore the prior early life section, per the discussion above. It's a pretty default section for a BLP article, is sourced and neutral. CorporateM ( Talk) 02:07, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
In 2003 his team created iobi, which manages address books, caller ID and other features across devices.[7][10] The Verizon One, a combination phone, router, modem and portable device, was developed from his department the following year.[7]
From 2000 to 2003, he reduced IT staff by 20 percent and reduced purchasing from technology vendors by 30 percent.[1] He negotiated aggressively with vendors to reduce prices and lobbied Verizon to eliminate its policy against purchasing IT equipment being auctioned on eBay by failed dot-com businesses.[1][13] Many contract programming positions were out-sourced to lower-cost labor in India. Additionally, new software was installed that improved Verizon's utilization of IT hardware.[1]
Requesting someone restore the prior references to the Barclay's work. Again, more references to sourced content were removed regarding his tenure at Barclay's. Also, here is an obvious reference for his work at Verizon that should be included: http://www.verizon.com/Content/Microsites/Includes/Bio/Shaygan_Kheradpir.doc . @ user:Intchar* looks like you originated the page - can you please make the necessary changes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauloperry ( talk • contribs) 23:22, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Around January 12, user:Intchar* removed some sourced, neutral content regarding some of the products Kheradpir led development of apparently under the rationale that they did not warrant inclusion since they were unsuccessful. I'd like to request the content be restored (see content below) at the end of the Verizon section.

Also I'd like to replace: "Kheradpir's group was instrumental in the creation of Verizon’s FiOS platform, including services such as FiOS TV.[1]" This sentence is promotional and not directly supported by the source. Instead, I'd like to replace it with the original: "Kheradpir's group also supported expansion of FIOS service, which extends fiber optic cabling to individual homes. [1] [2]" CorporateM ( Talk) 15:32, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
I was asked by CorporateM to take a look at this discussion. I have no interest in this person and I know very little about the field. But I do know and care about Wikipedia's policies, above all Neutrality and Verifiability. CorporateM has raised two issues above. 1) I can see no reason to remove the two sourced sentences in the collapsed box above, and Intchar didn't provide any reason in an edit summary. Would you care to explain why you think this sourced information should be deleted? 2) As to whether he was "instrumental" in developing FiOS, the sources don't directly use that word but they certainly suggest he personally played a big role, if not in creating it, then certainly in promoting it. As he was head of IT it might be reasonable to say that his group developed it. Can we find some way of describing his role that is in agreement with the sources? (I deleted one of the three sources in the lead because it didn't mention him.) -- MelanieN ( talk) 20:37, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
The result from the jury is in: The sourced content about iobi is in; whether something is an interesting footnote or not, if it's reliably verified (suggesting that it is more than a footnote) one needs a much better reason for exclusion. As for the "supporting" or "group is credited with", the solution is quite simple: if Intchar*'s source for that last quote is reliable, just use the quote, properly incorporated in the sentence--or some variety of "brought to the public", which strikes me as just about the same. One of you please implement it, and no hanky panky. Drmies ( talk) 01:23, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

The original draft contained sourced, neutral information about layoffs and outsourcing led by Kheradpir and other efforts to reduce costs at Verizon. This kind of cost-savings strategy seems to be the main thing Kheradpir is known for (mostly in a good way; sources focus on the cost-savings not the jobs lost). I'd like to request the below sourced information be restored. @ Intchar*: can you explain what the rationale was for removing it? CorporateM ( Talk) 03:01, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks @ Crisco 1492:! I think you literally just knocked out all of my pending request edits, which is refreshing after spending so much time begging and pleading folks to look at just one. I made a couple tweaks and cleanup items like adding logos, paragraphing, fixing citation errors, etc. after various Request Edits.
This is the only article where there are still a couple items top-of-mind and I was wondering if I could hold your attention for just a few more minutes for a couple quick requests that should make the page ready for that GA review it's in the queue for and address all the COI edits made by the SPA:

After understanding the situation of the edit warring, and the fact that this problem cannot be quickly solved, I have decided to fail the article. I do not want to do this. The reason I passed this article at first is because I actually thought that the edit warring was constructive editing; this should be attributed to my lack of experience. CorporateM, I apologize for wasting your time. This article should be renominated when the edit warring is solved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kai Tak ( talk • contribs) 10:07, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Which version of the Lead should be used:
What about this one?: "Kheradpir was among the first to note the effects of commoditization on information technology,[6] and the need to orient IT programs around the consumerization of technology, in which people, not businesses, drive technology development.[7][8][9]" This issue was discussed in the body already and while some of the sources quote Kheradpir discussing it, I don't believe any of them actually said he was one of the first to notice it. CorporateM ( Talk) 03:17, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
According to Wikipedia:External links regarding "official links" from the article-subject: "Normally, only one official link is included" with few exceptions. This article has three official links and two of them appear to be recently created, having only one blog post each from January of this year. CorporateM ( Talk) 14:31, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
Given the discussion above, I suggest something like the below for the Lead. This re-incorporates his degrees, which are a standard biographical detail for the lede, and adds the budget-cutting at Verizon, which appears to be his primary claim to notability. It also puts something more reasonable and less promotional regarding including every press article where he is quoted commenting about something.
Shaygan Kheradpir (born December 19, 1960) is a British-born American business and technology executive
whose career has spanned telecommunications, financial services, and networking technology. He played a major role in delivering FiOS at Verizon,[1][2] the Pingit mobile money system and Transform program at Barclays,[3][4] and an Integrated Operating Plan (IOP) as chief executive officer of Juniper Networks.[5] At Verizon he reduced the company's IT budget from 6 to 4 percent of revenues through out-sourcing, aggressively negotiating with vendors and other tactics. Kheradpir is often quoted in the media on IT industry trends.[1][6][7][8][9] He holds a bachelors, masters and doctorate degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University.
CorporateM ( Talk) 14:08, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
The suggested changes do not improve the article. First, it is significant that Kheradpir has been a technology leader in three different industries, so that part should stay. Second, his primary claim to notability is innovation, not cost cutting and vendor negotiation; this is evident from a scan of the references. The fact that he cut costs at Verizon is already more than adequately covered in the Verizon section. Finally, his education is well captured in the section called “Early life and education,” immediately following the lede. The current version is the better summary. Pauloperry ( talk) 16:51, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Requesting we remove the following sentences from the Lede as promotional synth:
Kheradpir was among those who noted the effects of the commoditization of information technology,[1][6] and the need to orient IT programs around the consumerization of technology, in which people, not businesses, drive technology development.[7][8][9]
The sources provided [2] [3] [4] [5] [6], while many in number, are just press articles where Kheradpir is quoted commenting on related topics.
The only editors supporting this content have been socking SPAs. CorporateM ( Talk) 18:59, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
@ FreeRangeFrog: If you have another minute, so far every time I propose an alternate lead, the proposal gets jumped by socking SPAs, who argue against any mention of reducing costs at Verizon. However, in-depth articles in WSJ and The Financial Times suggest it's one of the things he's best known for. Also, the body of the article says "According to InfoWorld, his team "contributed to the development of Verizon's FiOS fiber optic video initiative and related DVR", but the Lead exaggerates this statement by saying that Kheradpir personally "played a major role".
If you have a minute to give the proposed Lead below a lookover, I'd appreciate getting a response from an actual disinterested editor. After that I'd only have a few more small nick nacks and it should be GAN-ready presuming the article is stable.

Shaygan Kheradpir is a business and technology executive. He holds a bachelors, masters and doctorate degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University. He contributed to the deployment of FiOS at Verizon, the Pingit mobile money system and Transform program at Barclays, and an Integrated Operating Plan (IOP) as chief executive officer at Juniper Networks. Kheradpir started his career at GTE Corporation, which merged with Bell Atlantic to form Verizon in 2000. Kheradpir served as the CIO/CTO at Verizon for eleven years. He led a team of 7,000 that supported IT systems and developed new products, such as Verizon One and Iobi. Kheradpir also reduced the company's technology spending by about 30 percent by negotiating with vendors, outsourcing to India, and improving the utilization of IT assets. Kheradpir was at Barclays from 2011 to 2013, before holding the position of Chief Executive Officer at Juniper Networks from January to November 2014. |

See here. It's when an editor with a conflict of interest proposes an edit and asks someone else to make it. They "request an edit" in order to avoid the appearance of manipulating Wikipedia. In this case I would want to avoid the appearance of making the article appear unfairly disparaging to the article-subject, so there are certain edits I should not make myself to make sure a disinterested editor is making sure the article-subject is treated fairly.
I see where you're coming from, but I think a lot of this just needs to be re-written without benefits language, as opposed to removed. If after reviewing the requested edits here, you still feel some of this needs to be deleted, I would ask that you go ahead and use your judgement.
