@ User:Jytdog You added a lot of content, but where did it come from? It sounds like it was written by the company.
You really need to add some citations to news articles that confirm the content you added. Otherwise, it might be viewed as plagiarism. Peter K Burian ( talk) 23:09, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Let's discuss the coverage of the company, User:Zefr. Both of the recent changes you made seemed, to me, to be merely toning down the harsh reality that this company is in trouble. I ignored the previous deletion of some of the content I had added but then you made another revision...again, it seems to me that the primary intent was to tone down the content that indicates financial problems for Aurora.
If we have a section about the status at the end of 2019, and the status indicates they are in trouble, why does that become news coverage? (And the sub-head that I had written was indicating the financial problems. You revised it to Status.) These are just two recent articles that confirm their situation at the end of 2019:
Aurora Cannabis Inc. has put one of its largest greenhouses — located in Exeter, Ont. — up for sale for $17 million, as the company takes steps to reduce its expenses and boost its cash balance after a series of weak quarters that have sparked jitters amongst investors. https://business.financialpost.com/cannabis/cannabis-business/aurora-selling-exeter-greenhouse-in-bid-to-raise-cash-cut-expenses
“This listing, for 75 per cent of former MedReleaf’s capacity, signals major writedowns ahead,” MKM Partners analyst Bill Kirk said in a note published Monday. “We are also discouraged with the visibility of Aurora’s strategy — investors were unaware Aurora was trying to sell Exeter,” despite a corporate update on Dec. 23. https://business.financialpost.com/cannabis/cannabis-business/aurora-cannabis-lists-greenhouse-for-sale-in-move-that-implies-massive-writedowns-analyst
The content I added today is not news coverage; it is part of the a snapshot of the company's status at the end of 2019. Peter K Burian ( talk) 18:21, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Well, then 70% of the content of the article should be deleted. Including all the wonderful things that happened before the company got into trouble. From 30,000 feet, I can see ten sentences in total for this article, about a relatively new company. But the tenth sentence would say they are in financial trouble.

@ Zefr ... is WP:RECENTISM still a relevant concept? If so, why does Wikipedia cover breaking news issues such as Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752? That incident occurred this week (Jan. 8) and yet, there is a ton of coverage, including the fact that the plane was shot down by Iran: that info was released only 10 hours ago.

A NASDAQ report this week does not seem optimistic
Is Aurora Cannabis the Titanic of Marijuana Stocks? https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/is-aurora-cannabis-the-titanic-of-marijuana-stocks-2020-01-26
The iceberg cometh? We can sum up the main knocks against Aurora Cannabis in three brief points:
The company remains unprofitable with no profits in sight. It has a boatload of debt. It's running out of cash and will have to dilute shares further to stay afloat. All of these statements are demonstrably true.
Aurora continues to lose a lot of money. Don't be fooled by the company's positive net income of 10.7 million in Canadian dollars in its fiscal 2020 first-quarter results. That paper profit resulted from a big unrealized gain on the revaluation of Aurora's liability for its 2024 convertible senior notes. And that gain stemmed from Aurora's share price plunging during the quarter. Peter K Burian ( talk) 16:57, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
