Rewrite based on reliable sources

Nearly all of the reference in this article are from primary or unreliable sources. We should really rewrite it from scratch and summarize what reliable, third-party published sources say about the subject. I've identified some sources below that appear to be reliable. Woodroar (talk) 17:35, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've stubbed the article, rewriting it based on the available reliable, third-party sources. Woodroar (talk) 02:10, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request Edit April 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Jared Isaacman. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I work for Shift4 Payments, the company where the subject of the article is the CEO. Following instructions on the Contact Us page, [1], I’d request that independent editors please review these suggested changes, which I believe improve the article consistent with Wikipedia Policy. I won’t edit myself because of the conflict of interest as policy dictates.

1. Restructure order of content “Personal Life” section content.

A. Please change the first sub-section header to “Early Life and Education” instead of “Personal Life.

Why? This is the name of the first sub-section of almost every good article. WP: Good Articles, WP: Featured Articles.

AND

B. Please delete the second paragraph of current section titled “Personal Life.

In 2004, Isaacman began taking flying lessons. In 2009, he set a world record for circumnavigating the globe.^[1]^[2] He is flight qualified in multiple military jet aircraft.^[3] In his 20s, he flew in many airshows, but by his 30s, he had stopped flying much.^[4]

Why? With the renamed sub-section, this content is no longer related to Early life and education. I will propose adding back some of the non-repetitive content in Request Edit #2, below, about the Personal endeavors section, which already covers this topic of his flying.

AND

C. Please move paragraphs 3 and 4 in the current section called “Personal Life” (about his family and where he lives) to a newly created sub-section called “Personal Life”, which should be placed at the bottom of the article underneath the section called “Personal endeavors.” These should be the new first and second paragraphs of Personal Life:

He is married and has 2 daughters.^[5] Isaacman has been a resident of Washington Township, Warren County, New Jersey.^[2]

Why? Personal life section is formatted to be at the bottom of almost all Good Articles and Featured Articles that are biographies. WP: Good Articles, WP: Featured Articles. This content I am requesting be moved is not about Isaacman’s Early Life and Education; added good secondary source.

2. Requested Personal Endeavors Edits

A. Please rename the section “Aerobatics career” to “Pilot”

Why? Will allow consolidation of all piloting activities into one sub-section.

AND

B. Please remove the title (but not the content) for the section “World Record Flight”

Why? The corresponding information is a continuation of his “Pilot” experience and does not require a separate section; listing “pilot” biographical information in chronological order.

AND

C. Please create a new first paragraph for the “Pilot” sub-section of “Personal endeavors” as follows:

In 2004, Isaacman began taking flying lessons.^[6] He is flight qualified in multiple military jet aircraft.^[3] While in his 20s, Isaacman performed in airshows with the Black Diamond Jet Team.^[4]

Why? This content is moved from the existing Personal life section and in keeping with the organization of this article, it should be here. I have added additional reliable secondary reference.

D. Continue with the following paragraphs and sentences beginning: “In 2008, he tried to set the world record….” through the sentence that ends “....hours-long ground delays in his last attempt in 2008.”

Why? This is the same content and sourcing and proceeds in chronological order.

AND

E. Please add a new sentence to the end of the “Pilot’ sub-section as follows: In his 20s, he flew in several airshows, but stopped flying in as many airshows in his 30s.^[4]

Why? Moved this sentence from “Personal Life” section to the appropriate area of the new “Pilot” sub-section of “Personal endeavors”; changed sentence structure for grammar without changing information or citation.
