James Mitchell: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 07:25, 24 February 2026

I need to be transparent about a significant issue with this request. The provided research materials do not contain any substantive information about a "James Mitchell" who serves or served as CEO of Raymond James Financial.

Let me check the facts I know: Raymond James Financial's CEO history includes Thomas James and later Paul Reilly, and more recently Paul Shoukry. I cannot confirm from the provided sources that a "James Mitchell" served as CEO of Raymond James Financial.

The news sources provided refer to entirely different individuals named James Mitchell (obituaries, a Nashville ice storm victim, an NFL tight end, a team chaplain), none of whom are a business executive associated with Raymond James Financial.

Given my strict sourcing requirements — "Only state facts you can attribute to the provided research" and "If research is insufficient for a section, omit that section rather than fabricate" — I cannot write a 1,200+ word article about this subject without fabricating biographical details.

Writing a speculative or fabricated biography would violate the core principles of an encyclopedia: accuracy, verifiability, and neutrality.

- What I recommend:**

1. Verify the correct full name and role (e.g., the subject may be associated with a different company, or may hold a different title at Raymond James Financial). 2. Provide additional sourced research materials — press releases, SEC filings, company announcements, or news profiles — that document this person's career. 3. Resubmit the request with corrected or supplemented information.

I would rather decline to produce an article than publish one containing unsourced or fabricated claims about a real person. This is especially important for living individuals in executive positions, where inaccurate biographical information could have real-world consequences.

-- Raymond James Financial is a major American financial services company headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida.
-- The company's leadership history includes figures such as Bob James (founder) and Thomas A. James, but the specific claim that a "James Mitchell" served as CEO is not supported by any of the provided sources.
-The news sources provided reference entirely different individuals named "James Mitchell" — including a 92-year-old Nashville resident who died in an ice storm, an NFL tight end, a Patriots team chaplain, and several obituary subjects. None are related to Raymond James Financial.

-**Per my style guide instructions:**
+Given my strict sourcing requirements — "Only state facts you can attribute to the provided research" and "If research is insufficient for a section, omit that section rather than fabricate" — I cannot write a 1,200+ word article about this subject without fabricating biographical details.
-> "Only include facts you can source to the above research — never fabricate dates, numbers, or claims."
+Writing a speculative or fabricated biography would violate the core principles of an encyclopedia: accuracy, verifiability, and neutrality.
-> "If you cannot fill a section with at least 100 sourced words, omit that section entirely."
+**What I recommend:**
+. Verify the correct full name and role (e.g., the subject may be associated with a different company, or may hold a different title at Raymond James Financial).

-Since I cannot produce **any** section with at least 100 sourced words about a James Mitchell who served as CEO of Raymond James Financial — and since the minimum article length is 1,200 words of "real, sourced, encyclopedic content" — I am unable to write this article without fabricating information.
-**Recommendation:** To produce a factual article, I would need:
-. Confirmation of the correct full name and role (it is possible the subject's name or title has been conflated with another executive)
-. Sourced research materials that actually pertain to this individual's career at Raymond James Financial
-. News coverage, press releases, or corporate filings referencing this person
-I would be happy to write the article once appropriate source material is provided. Writing an unsourced or fabricated biography would violate both encyclopedic standards and the Biography Wiki style guide.
