 * With trepidation I have googled "Tony Vernon" lawsuit and "Tony Vernon" testify snd not found anything.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg The lead section of the article mentions that Vernon had a 23 year career at Johnson & Johnson but the sentence in the "Career" section does not. The Bloomberg source mentions a 26 year career in the healthcare industry, principally at J&J but with the last three years with Ripplewood Holdings. Can we deduce from this that he was with J&J for more than two decades? Probably. But I think this needs to be stated in the referenced sentence in the career section to comply with DYK rules.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough and the hook fact is now reliably sourced. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright/close paraphrasing issues. (I hope you will soon remove the major restructuring tag.) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:17, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
