Job change
Hello,

I'm a BBC employee so requesting an edit to Bob Shennan's page in line with Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy.

The changes are very straightforward and merely updating Mr Shennan's change of job.

Could you please change the first paragraph FROM:

Robert Duncan James "Bob" Shennan (born 18 March 1962, Wirral, Cheshire) is a British radio executive who was appointed as Controller of BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music in January 2009.[1] In March 2014 he was appointed to the new BBC post of Director of Music, to coordinate the music output across the BBC.[2] In October 2016, Bob was appointed Director, BBC Radio and Music.[3]

TO:

Robert Duncan James "Bob" Shennan (born 18 March 1962, Wirral, Cheshire) is a British media executive who was appointed BBC Group Managing Director in March 2019 having previously held the position of Director, BBC Radio and Music from October 2016. In March 2014 Bob was appointed to the new BBC post of Director of Music, to coordinate the music output across the BBC having been Controller of BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music since January 2009.

AND can we add the new role to the box on the right so it reads:

Occupation: Media Executive

Known for	Head of BBC Sport (1998–2000), Controller of BBC Radio 5 Live (2000–2008), BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra (2002–2008), BBC Asian Network (2004–2008) Controller of BBC Radio 2 (2009–2016), BBC Radio 6 Music (2009–2016), Director of BBC Music (2014–2016) Director, Radio and Music, BBC (2016–2019) Group Managing Director, BBC (2019-present)

AND in the CAREER section can we change the last sentence so it reads:

Shennan took over as Director, BBC Radio and Music, in October 2016 and was promoted to the role of BBC Group Managing Director in March 2019.

 * Your edit request could not be implemented because the provided references are not formatted correctly. The citation style predominantly used by the Bob Shennan article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's. Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.) In the extended section below titled Citation style, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:

Bare URL reference formatting: The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.[3]

References

1. 2.  3.

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Bob Shennan article. Using this style, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Citation Style 1 formatting: The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin. Which displays as: The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.[3]

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly resubmit the edit request below at your earliest convenience, taking care to ensure that it makes use of CS1. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Also remember to
