Hi Crystallizedcarbon. Thanks so much for your edits. The previous edit request and this one are part of a larger overhaul that I would like to make to this page. Do you prefer if I post all the edits in just one large request, or as several smaller edit requests? In the meantime, here are the next group of edits: *In the Career section, below the paragraph that begins: "Kempczinski joined the McDonald's global strategy team…" please add the following 2 paragraphs: :At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, he transformed McDonald's operations to protect employees and customers while also offering financial support to franchises. By the time of Kempczinski's one year anniversary as CEO, the company's stock value had increased, along with its scores in brand trust, customer satisfaction, and higher restaurant margins. [1] By the fourth quarter of 2020 the company had fully recovered to the same sales as fourth quarter 2019, with $25.8 billion in global sales. [2] :In order to improve the corporate culture of McDonald's, Kempczinski hired new human-resources executives in 2021 to promote inclusion and maintain corporate values. He also implemented standards to evaluate restaurants for discrimination and harassment. [3] *Please add a new section called "Board seats, memberships and associations" *Please add the following three bullet points to the new "Board seats" section: :*McDonald's Corp. Board of Directors [4] :*RMHC Trustee [5] :*Proctor & Gamble Board of Directors [6] *In the Personal life section, the first sentence is unclear, and even misleading. Please re-write in the following way: :Kempczinski is married with two children.

Hi,
I'd like to discuss the tag which was recently added to the article. As far as my understanding goes, my involvement as a COI editor has complied with Wikipedia's relevant guidelines. If there is an issue, I'd be happy to discuss it, and if not, I believe the tag should be removed. Pinging Elina9k, Crystallizedcarbon and Edwardx for their input and assistance. Thank you.

Hi again,
I've been considering some other ways to potentially improve this Wikipedia article. I'd like editors to consider adding a "See also" section with some helpful links for readers. I suggest listing the following pages:
WP:SEE ALSO says, "Whether a link belongs in the "See also" section is ultimately a matter of editorial judgment and common sense." I'll let editors decide if these links are helpful or not. Thanks for your consideration. MattMcDonalds ( talk) 16:58, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Crystallizedcarbon Hello again! I noticed you've added a [citation needed] tag for the sentence, "He has run marathons, and as of 2020 was running at least 50 miles a week." This Financial Post article says " The 52-year-old remains trim by running at least 50 miles a week..." I hope this is helpful. Could you or another editor please add this source to the article in order to address the [citation needed] tag? Thank you! MattMcDonalds ( talk) 17:52, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi again! As I've mentioned before, I've been considering ways to update this article. For this request, I'd like editors to consider adding mention of select recognition Chris K. has received for his work. I've drafted three sentences which summarize the most documented forms of recognition:
References
Most Purposeful CEO. WINNER. Chris Kempczinski, president and CEO. McDonald's
McDonald's president and CEO Chris Kempczinski was honored as Most Purposeful CEO
I've tried to draft a neutral summary based on reliable sources and noteworthy presenting organizations. I'd like to think these are worthy of inclusion, but I will let editors decide which sources and text to add. Thanks again! MattMcDonalds ( talk) 14:53, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks again to editors for reviewing these requests. This time, I'd like to propose adding language about Chris K's tenure as president and CEO, per Fortune magazine. I've drafted a summary which is specifically focused on him and his work (not McDonald's as a whole):

Again, I've tried to keep focus on him and the impact of decisions for which he has specifically been credited. As always, I'm open to text changes based on what editors think is most appropriate for his entry. My goal is to add a bit more detail about his current tenure.

I'd like to revisit a previously discussed topic: Accelerating the Arches. A few months ago, I proposed adding the text: In November 2020, Kempczinski outlined a new growth strategy, focusing on allowing consumers to control their experience digitally, called 'Accelerating the Arches', which includes but is not limited to streamlining drive-through and curbside pick-up, as well as home delivery. [1]
Based on feedback provided by Crystallizedcarbon, I trimmed the text down to: In November 2020, Kempczinski launched a new digital approach to sales, known as "Accelerating the Arches." [2]
References
Crystallizedcarbon was unable to corroborate that the sources supported the content. I provided quotations in an attempt to demonstrate that Chris K has been specifically credited for the Accelerating the Arches strategy in multiple reliable sources, but the discussion went in different directions and (unless I'm overlooking) no decisions were made about Accelerating the Arches, hence my revisit.
Below I've outlined what sources say about Chris K and Accelerating the Arches (text bolded by me for emphasis). I welcome Crystallizedcarbon's feedback on the proposed text additions as a summary of these sources, even if we must wait for other editors to corroborate:
Again, I invite Crystallizedcarbon, FeldBum, and other editors to corroborate that the provided sources support mention of this strategy and update the article appropriately. Sorry for trying to tackle so many topics at once before, hopefully isolating this request makes for an easier review. Thanks again for any help! MattMcDonalds ( talk) 22:20, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

I'd like to revisit a previously discussed topic: the president/CEO role transition and changes to corporate culture. A few months ago, I proposed adding text about Chris K's work to improve corporate culture following his appointment to the president/CEO role. As noted in my last request, Crystallizedcarbon provided feedback and made some changes to the article, but the discussion went in different directions so I'd like to submit a request specific to this one topic.
Currently the article says, "In November 2019, he succeeded Steve Easterbrook as president and CEO. [1] Easterbrook was fired for violating company policy by having a relationship with an employee. Shortly after joining the company, Kempczinski moved to create a "more professional culture" among executives and other staff, focusing on human resources. [2]"
References
To me this text is more about Easterbrook than Chris K. Here's what the Evening Express says about Chris K: The board of directors named Chris Kempczinski, who recently served as president of McDonald’s USA, as its new president and CEO. Mr Kempczinski was instrumental in the development of McDonald’s strategic plan and oversaw the most comprehensive transformation of the US business in McDonald’s history, said Enrique Hernandez, chairman of McDonald’s board, in a statement. Why use this source to add details about Easterbrook?
I propose mentioning Easterbrook in passing, in the same way the Steve Easterbrook article only mentions Chris K in passing. The description of Easterbrook's transgressions doesn't relate directly to Chris K. I will let editors decide which text is most appropriate. However, to keep focus on Chris K, I'd also like for editors to consider adding more detail about his work to change corporate culture. Here's the replacement text I'd like for editors to consider:

My goal here is to keep focus on Chris K, and I think details about his work are more relevant for his biography than details about Easterbrook's transgressions. I invite Crystallizedcarbon, FeldBum, and other editors to review the proposed text. Thanks for working with me to address some of my concerns. MattMcDonalds ( talk) 20:38, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
