Talk:Chrysler#RfC: Reception; rankings in independent surveys and ratings of quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Should the following content be added to the article?
Since at least the late 1990s, Chrysler has performed poorly in independent rankings of reliability, quality, and customer satisfaction. [1] [2] In 2011, James B. Stewart said in The New York Times that Chrysler's quality in 2009 was "abysmal," and cited that all Chrysler brands were in the bottom quarter of J. D. Power and Associates' customer satisfaction survey. [3] In 2015, Fiat Chrysler brands ranked at the bottom of J. D. Power and Associates' Initial Quality Study, and the five Fiat Chrysler brands were the five lowest ranked of 20 brands in their Customer Service Index, which surveyed customer satisfaction with dealer service. [2] [4] Chrysler has performed poorly in Consumer Reports annual reliability ratings. [5] [6] In 2009 and 2010, Chrysler brands were ranked lowest in the Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey; [7] in 2014 and 2015, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat were ranked at or near the bottom; [8] [9] in 2015 five of the seven lowest rated brands were the five Fiat Chrysler brands. [10] In 2016, all Fiat Chrysler brands (Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Fiat; Ram was not included) finished in the bottom third of 30 brands evaluated in Consumer Reports' 2016 annual Automotive Brand Report Card; Consumer Reports cited "poor reliability and sub-par performance in our testing." [1] [11] [12] [13] Chrysler has consistently ranked near the bottom in the American Customer Satisfaction Index survey. [14]

Don't know how many of you have noticed, but an editor, User:XyZAn, has started adding diagrams (cladograms, if you like) to articles about companies with complex M&A histories; the diagrams show the M&A history graphically. You can see a couple of them here: Valeant_Pharmaceuticals#Acquisition_history (you have to click "show" to expand it) and at GlaxoSmithKline#Acquisition_history. I'm opening this because another editor, User:Leprof 7272, has some concerns, and moved the one for Shire to the Talk page, here: Unsourced, undated, unverifiable presentation of company information. You can see their thoughts, there.
What are folks thoughts about these? Jytdog ( talk) 03:23, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

@ Jytdog:, @ Evolution and evolvability:, @ Opabinia regalis:, @ Ozzie10aaaa:, @ XyZAn:: Having been away, I see that the discussion is sidelined (few, if any quantitative phylogenetics folks involved). The pending questions, posed elsewhere, but largely unaddressed here, are:
In summary, I do not think I am alone among people who have actually generated phylogenetic trees (e.g., based on sequence information, applying them to the evolution of the stars, etc.), in perceiving this as largely being a misuse/misapplication of the tool. (Can such experts on the meaning of this representation not be brought in?) Nor do I think, if this or other groups give it any thought, that you can conclude that this clade form of presentation of complicated historical information makes the editing by individuals, in general, less difficult, and therefore articles and M&A content more likely to be maintained. (Anyone willing to wager that when XyZAn becomes too busy in life to attend to these, that the M&A activities of companies ceases to be kept up to date?) Bottom line, real quantitative phylogenetic input is needed, and by making the venue here, this is avoided. As for practicality, if use of this tool/presentation continues in this way, I look to all the positive responders here to learn the apparatus, and commit to keeping articles up to date through its use. Otherwise, you are thrusting it on those of us who otherwise would contribute to maintaining tables. Cheers. Leprof 7272 ( talk) 00:21, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:ExxonMobil climate change controversy#RfC: Context of Natuna gas field on the impact of climate expertise on ExxonMobil operational planning. Should the following, bolded for clarity, be added to
ExxonMobil climate change controversy?
Exxon also studied ways of avoiding CO2 emissions if the East Natuna gas field (Natuna D-Alpha block) offshore of Indonesia were developed. An October 1984 internal report from Exxon's top climate modelers said that the gas field contained over 70% carbon dioxide and that if the carbon dioxide were released to the atmosphere it would make the gas field "the world's largest point source emitter of CO2 and raises concern for the possible incremental impact of Natuna on the CO2 greenhouse problem." Members of Exxon's board of directors told Exxon staff that the gas field could not be developed without a cost-effective and environmentally responsible method for handling the CO2.

Hello everyone, I'm a representative of Smithfield Foods and would like to request some assistance in updating this article ( /info/en/?search=Smithfield_Foods). In particular, there were a series of edits made on March 29th that are unsourced and inaccurate. I am respectful of Wikipedia's guidelines concerning conflict of interest and have made no edits myself but wanted to encourage others to make this article accurate. The infobox is also very out of date in many areas including financial figures and leadership. Thank you for your help and consideration. ( Jeremy Smithfield ( talk) 15:05, 7 April 2016 (UTC))
This article is currently written as if it's about "meal trains" as a general concept, which I think would fail WP:GNG. I'm pretty sure it was created as an admasq for mealtrain.com anyway and that company might be notable enough for its own article. The article would need to be rewritten entirely in that case, but I'm really not sure if it meets WP:NCORP or if I should just make an AFD. I'm not familiar with checking into a company's notability, so I hope other editors will give input. I went into more detail about all of this on the talkpage. Thanks!

Following a recent discussion at WP:VPR, there is consensus for an opt-in bot task that automatically assesses the class of articles based on classes listed for other project templates on the same page. In other words, if WikiProject A has evaluated an article to be C-class and WikiProject B hasn't evaluated the article at all, such a bot task would automatically evaluate the article as C-class for WikiProject B.
If you think auto-assessment might benefit this project, consider discussing it with other members here. For more information or to request an auto-assessment run, please visit User:BU RoBOT/autoassess. This is a one-time message to alert projects with over 1,000 unassessed articles to this possibility. ~ Rob Talk 22:25, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Shari and I'm here on behalf of my employer Smile Train to update the article. I've proposed two updates at Talk:Smile Train.
The first request is about co-founder Brian Mullaney's departure from the organization in 2010. The second proposes a slightly trimmed and less contentious re-wording of the relationship between Smile Train and Operation Smile, and puts the content in chronological order.
I know that making direct edits to Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, given my conflict of interest. Is there someone who is willing to respond to these two requests? Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! SM at Smile Train ( talk) 16:04, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

I work for Vonage. The article had some issues and redundancies, which I have tried to address in a recent edit. I have been trying to discuss them on the article’s talk page, but further perspective would be helpful.

Many participants here create a lot of content, have to evaluate whether or not a subject is notable, decide if content complies with BLP policy, and much more. Well, these are just some of the considerations at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.
So, please consider taking a look at and watchlisting this page:
You could be very helpful in evaluating potential candidates, and maybe even finding out if you would be a suitable RfA candidate.

Hi there, I'm looking for editors who are interested to help with some quick tweaks to the Ligado Networks article, formerly called LightSquared. As the company recently changed its name, and so has the article, I'm hoping editors can help with an edit request I've made to adjust tense and update the company name throughout the article. Although they're all minor, common sense edits, as I do have a financial conflict of interest (I am working for Ligado Networks via The Glover Park Group as part of my work at Beutler Ink) so I've left an edit request rather than make changes directly. If anyone can take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon ( Talk · COI) 21:22, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi there. I've suggested several small updates to the BNY Mellon article on the Talk page here. I won't make the changes myself as I am working as a paid consultant on behalf of the company.

Hi there. I could use assistance over on the MDC Partners article. New material I suggested for the article was reviewed earlier this month—and some was implemented—but the editor I was working with has not been back to further discuss the rest of the changes. I have a financial COI, so I won't make any of the changes myself and would like input from others. Specifically, I'd like an editor here to assess the sections that have not been included and provide further feedback on what needs to be reworked if needed. Thanks!

Hello, Wikipedians! Can someone interested in company articles take a look at an edit request on the Criticism of Walmart Talk page. I have provided independent, third-party sources where I could, and noted areas where I could not locate sources. I hope editors can help add citations to the article where appropriate, and remove content that is not verified with sources. I am one of Walmart's representatives on Wikipedia and I have a financial conflict of interest, so I am bringing this up on these Talk pages rather than editing the article itself. Thanks, JLD at Walmart ( talk) 16:03, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

The page is within the scope of this project so I'm wondering if someone would be willing to help me with this?

Comet Group and Allders are two defunct UK retail companies, which ceased trading in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The articles on both are headed by a "company" infobox, and at the bottom of both boxes there appears a website url. This is obviously meaningless and undesirable, as neither company exists any more: the Comet link is in fact dead, while the Allders domain name appears to have been acquired by somebody with ambitions of reviving the brand online, but the site currently contains minimal information and has nothing to do with the business described in the article. I would like to delete these urls, but if I go into "edit" mode they are not there: they are being generated indirectly by some other means (via the logo?). Can somebody please explain what's going on, and what I need to do to get rid of them. GrindtXX ( talk) 00:19, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I'm trying to update the Maritz, LLC Wikipedia article on behalf of Maritz Holdings, Inc. Specifically, I am looking to improve the existing infobox with this request.

I am a member of the Moov team, effectively new to editing on Wikipedia and tasked with having our page updated. The page for our company is about a year out of date, contains advert material and some other inaccuracies. To avoid a conflict of interest, the WikiProject Companies was recommended by another editor. In an effort not to drive the changes to the page, I have removed edits to our page by this account and flagged it for multiple issues to prevent deletion. We are fully available to assist with images, references and any other additional information that is to be used for the purpose of improving this page and make it more fitting of content expected of wikipedia. I sincerely appreciate any assistance. Matt - Moov, Inc. ( talk) 18:03, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Recently, Fisker Automotive was moved to Fisker Inc. but these are two separate companies. Henrik Fisker left FA before it died, and its assets were bought out by Wanxiang to create Karma Automotive. So this seems to be conflating two companies together due to having the same founder. Yet Fisker Coachbuild also has the same founder, and was not conflated into this new article. Further, development of the Fisker Karma continued (as the VLF Destino) at yet another company involving Henrik Fisker, VLF Automotive, which is also not part of this "merged" article. This seems misleading, since the two companies are unrelated.
Shouldn't "Fisker Inc." be returned to "Fisker Automotive" (where the edit history is mostly about that) and "Fisker Inc." be split off into a new article instead? -- 65.94.171.217 ( talk) 13:53, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Would someone mind taking a look at SpiderG? It's was created yesterday by an WP:SPA and I'm not quite sure if it satisfies WP:NORG. There's lots of links given as references, but no inline citations so the article is kind of a mess. Quite alot of the sources which are provide just seems like trivial coverage, press releases or other primary sources. It's also possible that the article's creator might have a WP:APPARENTCOI because the first edit made after the account was created was the creation of this article. There is also this post at the Teahouse and this post at the Reference desk which might indicate some connection between the company and the creator. The first version of the article seems fairly good for the very first edit of a total newbie, and the same editor also uploaded the company's logo to Commons about 30 minutes after the article was created which once again seems to indicate that this is not the first time they've edited on either site. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 10:43, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

I've been proposing a series of edit requests on the article's talk page on behalf of Hilton. The first of my two most recent edit requests is to update the article with information about HNA Group agreeing to acquire a 25 percent equity interest in Hilton from Blackstone, and the number of HHonors members. The second request is to correct wording about Hilton Worldwide Holdings turning its hotel holdings into a real estate investment trust, and adding a detail about the company being named one of the "World's 25 Best Multinational Workplaces" by Fortune and Great Place to Work.
I've been granted permission by a reviewing editor to implement the second edit request, but I'd prefer not to edit the article directly because of my COI. I am looking for editors to review and implement these two requests as appropriate, and I'm hoping a WikiProject Companies participant may be available to help. I can respond to questions here or on the article's talk page. Thanks! Inkian Jason ( talk) 19:41, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
Editors, I am looking for others to consider an edit request at Lubrizol. In my opinion, the article's About section is dated and gives undue weight, so I proposed this draft to replace it.

Hello, I'm trying to update the Maritz, LLC Wikipedia article on behalf of Maritz Holdings, Inc. Specifically, I am looking for neutral editors to review the "Corporate overview", "Current subsidiaries", and/or "Former subsidiaries" sections drafted here. As I mentioned in the edit request, I realize this is a lot of content to review, and I am fine with splitting this single request into separate requests for each section, if editors prefer. This request is not to change existing text but to expand information about the company's overall structure and subsidiaries. All of the information is sourced, and I've made neutrality a top priority. I can answer questions on my talk page or within the edit request. Thanks!

Hi all! Posting a note to make other editors aware of a note I posted to the The Bank of New York Mellon Talk page outlining a few small updates that can be made to the article. I won't make the edits myself, because of my financial conflict of interest: I am monitoring the article on behalf of BNY Mellon.

There's a big backlog of requested edits from COI editors, and an automatically maintained list at User:AnomieBOT/EDITREQTable. Would anybody here like to clean up some of these in the company area? See, for example,
Those two have a complex history of M&A activity and reorganization, and need a neutral update with checking of sources.
Most COI requests contain some combination of facts cited to reliable sources and blatant advertising. Feel free to reject ones that contain obvious ad copy. See the discussion at [[Wikipedia_talk:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Challenges_getting_responses_to_COI_edit_requests]. I've cleaned up a few of these, but there are about 150 pending and this needs more people on it for a while. Thanks. John Nagle ( talk) 06:31, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
I uploaded a full draft of an updated and expanded Mark Weinberger article in my user space. Perhaps editors experienced with articles on executives and businesses are interested in reviewing it. Disclosure: I have a WP:COI as I work in media relations at Mr. Weinberger's company EY, so I created an edit request on the article discussion page.
The article is currently marked {{third party}}
because it relies too much on primary sources. I hope that my draft fixes that. You can reach out to me here or on the Mark Weinberger Talk page if you have questions. FYI: I also posted a similar note on
WikiProject Biography and
WikiProject Business. Thanks,

Hi, my name is Louise Ward and I work at Blue Apron. I'm hoping to add some basic information to our company page (currently classified as a Stub), but would appreciate any guidance the community can give me to ensure I'm doing so in the right way, and the content I'm proposing is good. I've proposed some things to the Talk page for consideration. Let me know if anyone is interested/has time to help guide me.

Hello, I work in the marketing department at Cosmos Tours Ltd and would like to request edits to the Monarch Holidays page. As of April 1, Cosmos regained the full rights and licenses to the ‘Cosmos’ brand from Monarch Holidays and changed our trading name from ‘Cosmos Tours and Cruises’ to ‘Cosmos’ on April 24, in conjunction with a site relaunch [1]
Currently, the Cosmos Holidays page redirects to Monarch Holidays. After doing some research, I thought the best way to update both pages was to split them. As outlined in the Wikipedia:Splitting instructions, I have placed a split request at the top of the Monarch Holidays page. I have also supplied a list of sources [2] [3] [4] detailing the terms of the split.
As I am aware I have a conflict of interest, I have not made any further edits. Can Wiki Editors please advise whether they’re able to carry out the split, and if there is anything else I need to do from my end? If needed, I am happy to write new copy for the Cosmos Holidays page and save it as a draft for Wiki Editors to review to ensure it’s in line with WP:NEUTRAL.

I just replaced, with a very short summary, a frequently-changing and, IMO, excessively-detailed section from Uniqlo. The section detailed the total number of stores per country, for numerous countries. I want to ask for other editors' feedback: do you agree with this edit, and if not, why not? In the same vein, should Ibis_(hotel)#Hotel_locations also be replaced with a concise summary? Is there yet any Wikipedia policy on this sort of thing? zazpot ( talk) 14:37, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
On behalf of Hilton, I've submitted 3 edit requests for some small updates to the Hilton Inc. article. Given my conflict of interest, I do not edit Wikipedia articles directly, so I'm seeking one or more volunteers to implement these article improvements. You can view the first request here: Talk:Hilton_Inc.#Edit_request.
I should also note the ongoing discussion regarding the article's title, which can be seen near the bottom of the article's talk page. Some editors have suggested merging the Hilton Inc. article and Hilton Hotels & Resorts, so some updates may be needed to differentiate the flagship brand from the parent company. I invite WikiProject Companies participants to contribute to the discussion. Thank you. Inkian Jason ( talk) 16:18, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Request received on 12 February 2017 to Merge DMA Design into Rockstar North. Rationale: Since they are the same company (including being the same legal entity), they share the same history. The latter article already includes about all of the information from the prior, just in a different writing style, so it makes no sense to keep both.

Hello hard-working WP:Companies folks. :o)
This is just an FYI for y'all - Outerwall, who sadly went to corporate heaven last year, needs some updating/redirecting when you can get to it. Redbox and ecoATM, former components of Outerwall, Inc., still redirect to the Outerwall article, although Redbox and Gazelle (Internet company) have their own articles. I changed the first two sentences of the article but did not have time for more, plus this is definitely not an area of significant knowledge for me! So I turn it over to those of you who do possess the expertise. :O) - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 04:23, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

I see there is {{ Company list legend}}, which serves as the legend for the background colors used at List of companies of Finland and others (155 articles in total). But the articles' tables each hard-code the color value in each row. This makes for a very large task if someone wanted to alter the color choices. I noticed this situation via this well-meaning edit by User:Kj1595, which did not appear to be done in concert with updating all the tables who use the template as its legend. I therefore undid that edit, but no easy way to know if in the 3 months it existed, anyone edited a table to use those "new" colors instead. In order to keep everything in sync, I propose that the special (non-default for table) colors be offloaded into separate templates that are then transcluded both in the tables and in the legend. I'm not familiar with this genre of articles, so I wanted to check with others before plunging ahead. Any thoughts? DMacks ( talk) 09:44, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi all. I work for DICK'S Sporting Goods, which has owned the Golf Galaxy retail chain since 2006. If you search "golf galaxy" on Wikipedia, you are currently redirected to the DICK'S Sporting Goods page, where there is a brief mention of the Golf Galaxy brand. Also, if you do a Google search for "golfgalaxy.com," the Golfsmith Wikipedia page is featured in the Google Knowledge Graph in the search results -- I believe this is because DICK'S recently bought Golfsmith out of bankruptcy and converted 36 Golfsmith locations to Golf Galaxy stores, but there is not a Golf Galaxy Wikipedia page for Google to feature.
To avoid a conflict of interest, I requested that a separate page be created for Golf Galaxy, rather than try to write it on my own. I believe a separate page is warranted, as Golf Galaxy is now one of the largest specialty golf retailers in the world. Do you have any advice on steps I can take to help get the Golf Galaxy page published? Raymond.judy ( talk) 20:30, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello! Editors interested in company articles on Wikipedia might be interested in reviewing this edit request regarding ICF International.

I am a bit unsure about the recently added harassment allegations in this article. They are sourced and a quick Google search confirms that this incident got some media attention (I couldn't find more recent updates unfortunately). However, without a conviction these claims are still allegations and their inclusion without additional context seems like undue weight, and may be damaging for the company and their employees. I am not involved with this company (or against it in any way), but such serious allegations should be handled as carefully as possible. At the very least, the company's stance on the accusations should be included somehow. Any advice or improvements from other editors of company-related articles would be appreciated.

All, currently there's a lot of movement with companies based in Catalonia given the political uncertainty posed by the Catalan independence referendum, 2017. A number of firms has announced (and in some cases executed) a move of their legal headquarters or registered office from locations in Catalonia to other Spanish regions. Now in most those cases, this is "just" the change of the legal main office. Their headoffices or main administrations remain where they are (for now at least). I wanted to bring to this group for discussion how to handle those articles, especially the infoboxes. In some cases, they now reflect the new registered office, in some cases they show both the registered office and the administrative headquarters, and some other cases show the legacy office. Given the situation is somewhat in flux, I personally prefer to show both the main admin office and the legal office. However the question to this group is, is the intention of the "headquarters" to reflect where the company is legally registered or where their main place of business is, where the CEO sits, etc.? pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 09:43, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Editors, I posted a request for edits on the Lubrizol Talk page. With this request I ask editors to update the revenue and employee figures in the infobox and introduction. Here I ask editors to clean up the History section and add a paragraph that can replace potentially misleading material from Operations. Lastly, there is this request asking editors to include the number of Lubrizol facilities and offices to Operations. Whoisjohngalt had answered the last request, but it was reverted by Smartse because I had used Lubrizol's website to verify the information. A third voice would be helpful in reviewing that piece of the edit request.

Hi! I'm reaching out to see if members of WikiProject Companies would be able to look at some proposed updates for the Sageworks article. In full disclosure, I'm here on behalf of Sageworks as part of my work with Beutler Ink. I believe there are some issues with the page's current content in terms of sourcing and due weight and I'd like to offer some suggestions to improve the page. To start with, I've suggested a proposal for the History section, to begin with something neutral and where it's a case of simply providing more encyclopedic content based on reliable sources.
A quick note about the history on the page prior to my involvement: A couple of years ago, individuals from Sageworks edited without disclosure, created multiple accounts, and the accounts were rightly blocked for sockpuppetry; Sageworks understand and do not intend to appeal the block or try to directly edit the page again. There was also at least one editor involved in discussions and editing the article whose opinions and suggestions appear to be motivated by a dislike for the company. Because of this history and the debates over content on the Talk page, I think fresh eyes on the article in general would be helpful. If there's any feedback or questions, please let me know. Thanks in advance! 16912 Rhiannon ( Talk · COI) 17:43, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello everyone, I am relatively new here, but I do have a question. I am considering creating a list of locations for Dave & Buster's on Wikipedia, as the sports bar arcade has 103 locations at this moment (with more to come very soon). I don't care if it is part of the Dave & Buster's article or a separate place, I just had the idea in mind. However, since this is my first time doing something like this, I have a few questions:

On behalf of Group SJR, I've submitted draft articles for both the company and its CEO (see Draft:Alexander Jutkowitz) as part of my work at Beutler Ink. Given my conflict of interest, I will not publish either article to the main space and ask uninvolved editors to review both for accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability. Is there a WikiProject Companies member who is willing to take a look at Draft:Group SJR for possible move into the main space?

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.
A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Companies

Hello. I submitted a request to add mention of the current and former CEOs to the Iteris article's prose. However, my edit request was rejected because the current CEO is already mentioned in the infobox. The reviewing editor used WP:NOTDIRECTORY as a reason for not adding mention of key leadership to the prose. I'm looking for more clarification on the type of information about key employees that is standard for company articles, since there's a variety of ways this is dealt with, even between FA and GA articles, and I've not been able to find any guidelines that give more information on specific content that company articles should contain. Can any WikiProject Companies members confirm what CEO / employee details should be included? To me, it seems like a basic addition, but I want to make sure I'm understanding what's current consensus. Thanks. Inkian Jason ( talk) 16:43, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello! On behalf of my employer, Teradata, I've been submitting a series of requests to improve the company's Wikipedia article. I am familiar with COI rules and don't edit articles directly. I was pleased when my initial requests were accepted and answered by helpful editors, but my later requests (all answered by the same editor) were unsuccessful, and I've struggled to get them to reconsider my proposed improvements or offer further feedback. This has been disappointing and I am hoping some other editors from WikiProject Companies may be willing to take a look at the proposed updates.
I am seeking additional feedback on two edit requests. For the first, I proposed a simple 3-sentence update to the "Technology and products" section. I was told the first source was advertorial, and additional paraphrasing was needed. I've suggested different sourcing, and provided alternative wording for consideration. However, the editor declined to reply, despite my ping for further feedback.
For this request, I proposed simply moving content related to acquisitions and divestitures to an "Acquisitions and divestitures" subsection. I proposed no major content changes, just grouping related content together. The reviewing editor replied and said they "implemented" my request, but actually they did not. Instead, they changed the entire history section into bullet points. I never see Wikipedia articles written in the form of bulleted lists, so I have to assume this does not comply with guidelines, and I'm afraid the article looks worse than before. I replied to the editor, noting that they had not separated out content as requested, and asking for the bullet point to be converted into prose, but I did not receive any reply.
There was even another declined edit request in between these two, but I'm trying to pick my battles. I am hoping to get additional feedback from other Wikipedia volunteers. Are there any WikiProject Companies participants who are willing to take a look at the edit requests and article history? You might consider looking at the pre-bullet point version of the article, for context. Thanks for reviewing in advance.

Be advised that, on the Smith & Wesson company talk page, there is currently a debate on whether or not to include notation of a firearm illegally used in a recent mass-shooting that was manufactured by the company which is the subject of the article. Should this item be included, then it goes to stand that all of these types of incidents will be included on numerous company articles, in some cases outweighing the total content of the remainder of the article. As this potentially affects multiple company articles, I thought this wiki-project should be aware of the issue. - theWOLFchild 14:22, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

HCR Manorcare is already a topic, and it is stated it needs improvement because one of the writers appears to be someone close to the topic. I believe that person may be user Randall O. Which could be Randy Oostra, who is CEO of Promedica. I don't understand enough about companies buying and selling, but this buy would make Promedica the 15th largest health system in the country. Unfortunately I have reached my limit for the Toledo Blade which has been carrying the bulk of this news. Both companies have their HQ in Toledo so if someone with more adept expertise in business could update the article it would be much appreciated.
I'm not a fan of Promedica. They are heavy-handed, very powerful and they own their own health insurance company, Paramount, who insures me. So I would be having a conflict of interest as well if the updated the article.
Thanks.

Hello, people of WikiProject Companies. I've created this message to notify active members of the project, especially to those who know a lot about or are interested in the Whirlpool Corporation. If you are, I need help improving my article about the Clyde cancer cluster, an incident that Whirlpool was sued for; in other words, it was their fault (don't write those words on the article by the way, WP:NEUTRAL). It is definitely not a bad article. It just needs some small improvements. I'm not at all saying minor edits or improvements are bad, but I'm specifically looking for people who can help me long-term with a lot of co-research to improve the article to reach Good Article status. If you're interested in helping, the things needed to be improved are listed on Talk:Clyde cancer cluster#Improvements.

In the talk page for PicMonkey ( /info/en/?search=Talk:PicMonkey), a Seattle-based business, I had requested some factual updates (all detailed in the talk page). As I have a conflict of interest in that I represent the company, I do not wish to make the edits myself. Rather, I'd like to ask for community input on the validity of the changes, as well as for a non-conflicted editor to make the edits. (Unless the community finds the changes benign enough for me to make).
Thanks for any input and direction. The company (and I, by extension) is new to Wikipedia editing.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:29, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello, BNY Mellon recently moved its headquarters from 225 Liberty Street in New York to 240 Greenwich Street. User:Y2kcrazyjoker4 updated the infobox with the current headquarters earlier this month, but the article's Operations has not yet been updated. The issue is that the company's headquarters relocation has not been written about in third-party sources. I left a note at Talk:The Bank of New York Mellon and pinged Y2kcrazyjoker4 on their Talk page; they indicated that Operations could be updated since BNY Mellon's official website lists the new address as its headquarters but it looks like they're busy right now and haven't been able to make the edit. Could someone here assist?
Basically, I'm trying to replace the third sentence of Operations with something along the lines of: "BNY Mellon's American and global headquarters are located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York". Sourcing-wise, this Wall Street Journal article notes that BNY Mellon would move from Liberty Street to the new location (then addressed 101 Barclay St.) this summer. There is also this press release and the company's website, which both confirm the move took place and new address. Usually, press releases and company websites are not adequate sources, but I'm wondering if this might be an exception. What's the best way to move forward? I have a financial conflict of interest as I'm here on behalf of BNY Mellon as part of my work at Beutler Ink. I appreciate any advice. Danilo Two ( talk) 20:00, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Examples include, but are not limited to: listings of business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, store locations, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions. Information about relevant single entries with encyclopedic information should be added as sourced prose. Lists of creative works in a wider context are permitted." (my bolding).
Most of the entries in the remarks column contain things like "First SM Mall in Northern Luzon with no air-conditioning system." or "Second SM Mall in Visayas". I suppose this is to try and show there is context. Does anyone have an opinion on whether this should be left as is? Dom from Paris ( talk) 14:48, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello,
I have a conflict of interest so will not edit the page directly but wanted to share with the editor of this page a recent company update regarding a new CEO to keep the page recent and updated.
Robert W. Azelby has succeeded Randy Schatzman as Alder Biopharmaceutical's new CEO and President. This was announced by a company press release issued on June 7, 2018.
Alder BioPharmaceuticals® Names Robert W. Azelby President and Chief Executive Officer
I believe the Wikipedia page still notes Randy Schatzman as the CEO so thought this may be a relevant update. Would an editor be able to help update this?

I recently added a Requested Article for Honey Coupons [1]. Because I work for the company, there is an obvious conflict of interest. However, I do believe it's notable with reliable, independent, third party sources. Would an editor be able to write a new article for the company or provide any feedback?

Hello, sorry to bother again about this aspect, but it would be great if editors interested in company articles could chime in at Talk:McKinsey & Company and/or Talk:Bain & Company about the "alumni" lists in these articles. These lists were unsourced, didn't have clear inclusion criteria and primarily served as PR tool to polish the company's prestige (unfortunately there is a significant amount of undisclosed COI-editing in consultancy-related articles). I'd argue, that this kind of listcruft violates list guidelines and probably WP:NOTDIRECTORY. To be clear: noteworthy alumni with a significant connection to the company (based on independent sources) could of course be added as prose anytime. Any feedback on the article talkpages to clarify/form a consensus would be appreciated. On the other hand, a broader discussion and clear guidance about company alumni in general might also be useful, independent from these 2 specific cases - just a thought.

Editors in this WikiProject may be interested in the featured quality source review RFC that has been ongoing. It would change the featured article candidate process (FAC) so that source reviews would need to occur prior to any other reviews for FAC. Your comments are appreciated. -- Izno Repeat ( talk) 21:47, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
Could someone from this WikiProject assess this for notability per WP:NCORP? The only citation provided is to the company's own website, but that does nothing per WP:CORPDEPTH. The article's been around for a bit, but never seems to have gotten properly assessed because (1) it wasn't submitted to AfC and (2) nobody bothered to create a talk page for it and add WikiProject banners for it until I just did. There are a few stand-alone articles about some of the companies products; so, maybe the sources used in them can also be added to the main company article. I was considering WP:PROD, but figured I'd ask here first. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:50, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
I was looking over the article on Johnson & Johnson and noticed the section on the company's credo is rather lacking. I started conducting some additional research to see if there was anything that could give it more context, and in doing so started to wonder if it met notability guidelines for its own article. From what I can tell, there's enough coverage to suggest that it is, but I haven't seen any articles dedicated to a company's credo (or motto, or slogan). My initial thought was that it would be overly promotional, but after realizing how much it's been talked about in the media, adding more context to the existing article might make it unwieldy. Can anyone weigh in? I can see the rationale for it going either way.-- FacultiesIntact ( talk) 21:06, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
What is this (for Wikipedia)? Is there a description or definition anywhere within Wikipedia? Asking because WP has a specific category assigned to businesses ("companies") of this type. Eddaido ( talk) 20:51, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
On behalf of FXCM, I have created an updated draft of the current Wikipedia article for review. The draft is located in my sandbox. The draft clarifies previous and current ownership issues and neutral point of view concerns (such as the first sentence of the article overall). It also uses better and more recent references. If someone is able to assist in the process I would appreciate it. -- Formilds ( talk) 23:32, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
What was actually left unresolved with this request were the issues that I raised in my review which I saw as problematic, namely:I know that it is a burden to go through my edits requests. I am sorry and wish I knew an easier way for both of us. I also understand there are issues with the company that must be documented to have a neutral article. I am just tasked with making sure everything is done correctly and isn't promotional for the company or written in a way that makes the company seem like the devil. Thanks for your help with these. Hopefully we can get through them all.

Notes
Sorry if I made it seem like I was looking for a more favorable response from someone else. My intention was just to make things easier for everyone. Please let me know what is needed for a review of the draft. I would be happy to receive any feedback that editors can provide. -- Formilds ( talk) 02:50, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

There is an edit request to update the CFO of The Bank of New York Mellon on the article talk page. Can editors update the article's Leadership section to reflect the correct CFO?

Hello, Wikipedia! I work for Consumer Bankers Association (CBA), and I'd like to suggest some improvements for the organization's article. I've posted a request on the article's talk page, but there hasn't been any movement yet. I've already sought help at WikiProject Finance & Investment and WikiProject Organizations.
The current article is quite short and hasn't been updated since 2008. I have suggested a draft to add more content to the existing sections and build off of those as sourcing allows. Please take a look at my proposed draft here - User:CBA NS/Consumer Bankers Association. I know about COI rules, and I've done my best to follow them.
Are there any WikiProject Companies editors who can take a look at the draft and copy over content or provide any feedback? Thank you! CBA NS ( talk) 14:05, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
There is a new edit request to clarify information in the Operations section at The Bank of New York Mellon on the article talk page.

Hi! I've been paid by Foursquare to propose splitting Foursquare into two articles: one focused on the Foursquare City Guide app, and one focused on Foursquare Labs the company, which for the past several years has focused on advertising technology and other enterprise products. Details and proposed drafts are on the current article's talk page, here. I tremendously appreciate any help or feedback. Thank you! Mary Gaulke ( talk) 21:12, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Josephua has posted an assessment request to Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing. Since this article is much more about a company than computer technology, that request may be better entertained by someone here. ~ Kvng ( talk) 13:46, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
When there is a longstanding organization with a consistent trading name, that over time has been underpinned by multiple legal entities, do we have separate articles for each legal entity or do we combine as one?
Case in point being A & G Price. It originally commenced trading in 1868, a new legal entity was established in 1951 that was placed in administration in 2017 [6] the business was then sold and resumed trading under new ownership with the same brand, same core employees, same premises etc, underpinned by a new legal entity. [7] It has been suggested they should be split. Could understand if the article was massive, and it would be a logical point to split if required, but this one is fairly short.
