Not Done. This appears to be an attempt to turn the article into a resume of the subject, which is contrary to WP:RESUME. Axad12 (talk) 19:31, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Partly done -- the article really needs some more substantive commentary on him -- being as its an encyclopedia article -- than just a summary of his past jobs, but I don't see any reason not to add the information, as it's well-sourced. No citation was given for the personal life bit, though, so not adding that. Mrfoogles (talk) 22:44, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

For future reference, though, edit requests are supposed to be in the format of "I would like to make <these changes> in <this place> -- specifically, change <this text> to <this text>", rather than rewriting the whole article. Generally speaking, it's not necessary to copy parts you aren't changing. Mrfoogles (talk) 22:47, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Oh, and you forgot to add authors to the citations, which is also important -- additionally, the dates of publication. If you feel like adding those, I think it's probably fine if you edit the article directly to do so, as it's on the level of fixing a typo. Mrfoogles (talk) 22:48, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Update Request

I would greatly appreciate assistance making the below request. It updates the last sentence of the first paragraph to clarify that Alberto Musalem is the first Hispanic president of a regional Reserve Bank, and it adds additional information to make the entry more substantive. New references are included for both:

He is the first Hispanic president of a regional Reserve Bank.

In this role, Musalem regularly gives public remarks and speeches on economic conditions and engages with communities in the Eighth Federal Reserve District.
