Talk:Wafic Saïd

==Some proposed changes==

Untitled
Hi all,

In accordance with an editor’s request, I’ve reformatted our requested proposed changes below. Please do let me know if you have any questions or concerns – you can get in touch here or via my own Talk page. Note: as a conflicted editor, I can only request these changes be made and cannot make this edits directly in accordance with Wikipedia conflict-of-interest guidelines.

•          Information to be added or removed: Add new line or paragraph to follow on from the end of existing paragraph 7: “In March 2016, Saïd commenced legal proceedings against Barclays in the High Court in response to the action the bank had taken in closing certain accounts belonging to Saïd and companies associated with him. Those proceedings were settled on 2 June 2016 on terms that Saïd agreed to accept an apology from Barclays.”

•          Explanation of issue: Currently information within Wafic Saïd’s page is incomplete. The section ends with “Saïd said he would be taking legal action against Barclays.” citing an article from 18 March 2016. This provides a verified, third-party source explaining how the legal proceedings were settled on 2 June 2016.

Some proposed changes
Dear Editors

I apologies for submitting another request but I have now received third party verification for two factual changes.

Please do let me know if you have any questions or concerns – you can get in touch here or via my own Talk page.

Note: as a conflicted editor, I can only request these changes be made and cannot make this edits directly in accordance with Wikipedia conflict-of-interest guidelines. I’ve also followed Wikipedia’s guidelines for requesting an edit, however if I need to another citation format, happy to do so.

•          Information to be added or removed:

Change this sentence:

“Saïd has been ambassador and head of the delegation of St Vincent and the Grenadines to UNESCO since 1996.[11] Saïd is also St Vincent and the Grenadines ambassador to the Holy See.[12]

To read:

“Saïd was ambassador and head of the delegation of St Vincent and the Grenadines to UNESCO from 1996 to 2018. Saïd also previously served as St Vincent and the Grenadines ambassador to the Holy See”

•          Explanation of issue:

On 19 October, Mr Said stepped down from his roles as ambassador and head of the delegation of St Vincent and the Grenadines to UNESCO, as you can see from the ‘farewell’ listing on UNESCO’s official website. Mr Said is also no longer the St Vincent and the Grenadines ambassador to the Holy See, as you can see from the link to the SVG Diaspora website below.

Proposed Addition to Page
Dear Editors

As a conflicted editor, I can only request these changes be made and cannot make this edits directly in accordance with Wikipedia conflict-of-interest guidelines. I’ve also followed Wikipedia’s guidelines for requesting an edit, however if I need to another citation format, happy to do so.

•          Information to be added or removed:

I would like to add the following to this page under the section Said Business School:

In April 2019, Wafic Saïd, signed a Deed of Gift for £15 million to support the redevelopment of Oxford’s Osney Power Station into the Global Leadership Centre, a new teaching and residential facility for the School’s prestigious executive education programmes.

 * Why "prestigious"? Can we have a full reference, not just a bare URL? Edwardx (talk) 18:52, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Edwardx Hi EdwardX, having reviewed the FT article, even though our requested edit is factually correct, it doesn’t appear to be explicitly stated within the article itself, so I think probably best if we just withdraw our request. The information is only available within a press release from the Said Foundation, which I understand not to be a valid third-party source. Many thanks.
