It is not explained why there is no clear record of his birth date. Is that not worth mentioning in the article's body? 50.59.14.6 ( talk) 15:38, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi Wikipedians:
This is a request for updated biographical information about Tim Armstrong.
First, a COI disclosure: I am a current employee of AOL. I can provide more details but would prefer to do so privately.
We have tried very hard to keep our information on Tim very much in the style of WIkipedia, as neutral and disinterested as possible, with the sole aim of filling in details about Tim's life while staying within the guidelines of Wikipedia style and sourcing. We have sourced all edits from 3rd party sources, or from the AOL corporate site for business-related announcements or clarifications.
To summarize, our proposed edits include:
Please find the full copy of our proposed changes here. Our proposed changes are in bold, with sources bracketed. We do not intend to remove any existing sources or information from his page.
I realize these are substantial changes, and that I am editing under scrutiny because of COI. Again, we have made every effort to source these changes, and for the edits to read neutrally. I am able to discuss any edits as questions arise.

Not done The proposed changes are just spam. Joseph2302 ( talk) 22:52, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi @Joseph2302 - can you clarify what you mean? The proposed additions are meant to provide additional information about Tim's background and experience, and all edits are sourced. ABstasio ( talk) 23:07, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Overhauled the article and written it decently. Didn't want to do it in the article or workspace to avoid potential conflict during the editing. It should now cover the essentials. A lot of the AOL info is relevant to his biography because Armstrong has really been at the forefront of the company change in direction. I've worded it so it's informative and written from his perspective, without it being bloated. Above all the article should read neutrally now and be without issue. It's about time somebody wrote an article essay on writing CEO articles as they do seem to present a problem on here.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:03, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, page watchers. An IP editor recently added detail on the removal of four sisters from Oath's network. You can see the initial edit here. The source used does not mention that Mr. Armstrong was directly involved in the cancellation of the show. Neither do any of these other sources from CBS, [1] Fox News, [2] People [3] and Variety [4] [5]. As Mr. Armstrong himself wasn't involved here, I believe this content does not belong on this page. Can someone delete it?
In case editors prefer to move this detail to the Oath article, I'd also like to note that the framing of the controversy does not reflect sourcing. The show was cancelled due to offensive posts on Twitter.
I work for Oath's parent company, Verizon, and have a conflict of interest so I ask others to look and remove the content on my behalf. Thank you, VZBob ( talk) 19:20, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Partly done [note 1]
___________
- ^ The claim statement from the article in question has been altered to more-closely reflect the information as it appears in the given source. The implication here in the edit request that Mr. Armstrong was not a part of actions taken at Oath, Inc., a company for which he is responsible as CEO, is intellectually dishonest.

I would not object if the information was moved to the Oath Inc. article, but my understanding of Wikipedia's content policies is that including it here would be a synthesis of sources.
Unable to implement [note 1]
___________
the framing of the controversy still does not reflect the sourcing, which makes it clear that the show was cancelled due to offensive posts on Twitter, not the mother's identity.
Not done [note 2]
___________
- ^ A perusal of the article indicates more than one instance where synthesis may be inferred. A blanket ban on such items in this article would radically alter its look and layout, a course of action which, if desired, ought to come as a result of consensus after a detailed examination of the article's every word. Please note that this suggestion comes not through a desire to make a WP:POINT, but rather, for consistency.
- ^ The words I changed the sentence to read as were not due to, but rather, after, indicating that the action of being released from work came chronologically after the specified event occurred (the mother's information being made public) and not necessarily due to it.
