Talk:Young Sohn

Edit Requests

Hi,

I work with Young Sohn and was hoping someone could make the following edits. As I understand it, I can't or shouldn't make these edits because of my COI.

• Add an infobox to the page.

• Add a picture to that infobox, from https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?sort=relevance&search=sohn+samsung&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&advancedSearch-current=%7B%7D&ns0=1&ns6=1&ns12=1&ns14=1&ns100=1&ns106=1

• Add information about Co-Founding Extreme Tech Challenge (XTC), a startup competition for entrepreneurs addressing global challenges.

• • Would https://pulsenews.co.kr/view.php?year=2019&no=820914, https://cheddar.com/media/extreme-tech-challenge-looked-for-tomorrows-startup-stars-says-samsung-president, https://www.theverge.com/2015/1/9/7519595/ces-2015-richard-branson-extreme-tech-challenge work as a source?

• Add an Awards and recognition section, with

• • KACF Corporate Honoree, with https://kacfsf.org/2019-annual-gala-honorees or http://m.koreatimes.com/article/20190506/1246026 as a source

• • AAMA Trail Blazer Award, with https://befast.tv/aama-gala-2019-red-carpet-interviews/ or https://www.aamasv.com/pages/aamas-40th-anniversary-gala-october-8-2019 as a source

Hi,

Happy to help. You might want to consider creating a Wikipedia user page, which you can do here

• Infobox is an easy fix. I'll add that.  Implemented
• Same with picture  Implemented
• It looks like only Cheddar has Sohn as a founder, so I'll use that one. The others just talk about him being a judge, unless I'm missing something. (Used Cheddar and The Verge)  Implemented
• I'll check for precedent for the Awards section, but those sources look fine.  Implemented

The awards seem reasonable to me. Snappytimez (talk) 19:53, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Cool, how about this? Tagging 160.72.96.42

In 2019, Sohn was honored with a Trail Blazer award at the Asia America Multitechnology Association 40th anniversary dinner and with a Corporate Leader Award by the Korean American Community Foundation of San Francisco.

That works, thank you! Can you also add some context for XTC, like "a nonprofit startup competition that aims to address United Nation's 17 Sustainability Goals" -160.72.96.42 (talk) 20:38, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Sure. Changed to "United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals," for punctuation and the canonical name of the initiative. Found https://www.alphagamma.eu/opportunities/extreme-tech-challenge-2020/ as a source. --FeldBum (talk) 04:55, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Please see my comment on your talk page. GSS ^💬 16:04, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey LeannaTruong. Made those edits. I rewrote and put where it made most sense. I'm not sure what you mean by "better source for XTC" so I just added it. I think there are more than enough cites there now. --FeldBum (talk) 21:05, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey FeldBum. Thank you very much for your help. These edits look great. LeannaTruong (talk) 15:43, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
