Hello! I am a representative of hims + hers and would like to request some changes to the article. I've included sources for each requested change and proposed language that I believe fits with Wikipedia's guidelines. Feel free to contact me on this talk page or my user talk page with any questions. Thank you for your help.
1. Can we adjust the wording of the first paragraph to more accurately reflect what we do? Proposed wording: "Hims & Hers Health, Inc. is a telehealth company that operates a platform to connect customers to licensed healthcare professionals. Hims & Hers Health also sells over-the-counter personal care products and offers prescriptions through a subscription model.
[1] The company was founded in 2017 with the launch of Hims, and Hers was launched in 2018."
(The reference included here is currently number 15 in the article)
2. Add the following information to the top section: "In October 2020, Hims and Oaktree Acquisition Corp. announced a merger. After the merger, the company became known as Hims & Hers Health, Inc."
Source:

3. In the first history paragraph, add "Hilary Coles" as a founder of the company.

4. Add the following information to the History section: "On October 1, 2020, Hims and Oaktree Acquisition Corp., an acquisition company, announced a merger agreement. After the merger, the company began operating as Hims & Hers Health, Inc. The transaction was completed on January 21, 2021 and the combined companies' stock started trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “HIMS.”

platform to connect customers to licensed healthcare professionalsis the officially sanctioned PR speech at hims, but that's not the way it is described by Bloomberg, Wired, The New York Times, TechCrunch, etc.
Please, take some time to read our reliable sources policy. Almost every source you provided is very poor quality. As you know, bizjournals.com is a churnalism outlet that does copypasting from your press releases with minimal editorial oversight. This kind of source may be used in limited context, but they should not constitute the bulk of the article sources. Best, MarioGom ( talk) 23:05, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi
User:MarioGom I appreciate your help with our request and all of your work on our article. I just had a few additional requests.
1. We aren't just an online pharmacy, we provide other services, such as mental health counseling. Also, Citations 2 and 4 call us a telehealth company. Could you help me in changing the industry to healthcare since online pharmacy isn't the best description?
2. I also appreciate you adding some of our products to the infobox. Could we add acne treatments and mental health counseling as well? Here are some citations:

Hi this is Linda from Hims & Hers Health. I noticed that someone has added the paid editing tag back to our page and was wondering if there was a way to have it removed since we have requested edits using the appropriate channels. LoConnor123 ( talk) 18:33, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
For future reference, here's some reliable sources I found, most of them still not used in the article:

Looking on the forhers site I don't see any flibanserin products. Additionally, the sources provided don't mention the drug at all. Would it be considered WP:NOR to delete the mention of flibanserin? I5-X600K ( talk) 12:53, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
There is a warning regarding neutral point of view and a long series of edits above showing that the team at Hims & Hers clearly understand the requirement. Despite that, Hims & Hers continue to delete information citing consumer reviews from a neutral source (the Better Business Bureau) while continuing to add their own company-generated content regarding their brand ambassadors. @ I dream of horses: 2600:100A:A000:5367:657A:4BAA:83E2:9B4A ( talk) 22:22, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
