CarZing: Article Review
Hello - I'm writing on behalf of my client, CarZing. CarZing’s mission is to make auto financing quick and easy while providing a modern, hassle free way of shopping for cars. The article (see draft here) was submitted back in December 2020, and is still waiting to be reviewed. Google Search is currently showing outdated company info until this article can help update SEO, which is causing some customers to get confused. My client and I would greatly appreciate if someone could assist in reviewing the article draft. Thank you so much for your help! - Chase
Amazon: Retail vs AWS Revenue
In a number of articles in this project, Amazon is referred to as a retailer. 10% of Amazon's revenue, and the majority of its income (54% as of FY2020), actually does not come from retail anymore, it comes from AWS. Since the majority of Amazon's income is not tied to retail, it is arguable if it should even be included in the list of the world's largest retailers. If it is retained, I would strongly argue to only include revenue from it's retail operations in the listing.
Reviews for Insurance Provider sites
Hi!
I don't want to fall foul of any COI issues - however I and my team at Worry+Peace [deleted my in advertent link!!] are building a valuable source base for customer service reviews for 1,000+ insurance providers in the UK. Including the likes of Hiscox, who are included in your project.
I wanted to add a citation/ Since the pandemic, it's customer experience feedback has improved notably to their page, but AS I READ, believe it's a potential conflict.
Hiscox could, in practice, be our client, but the content we are sourcing/aggregrating and classifying is UGC... so I am unsure where this sits on the scale.
From our perspective we naturally want to be THE source for insurance feedback insight - and feel this is hyper relevant to wiki pages because of the anecdotal and verifiable impact that reviews have on Google rankings for providers in short and long tail insurance keyword searches. We do not sell insurance coverage and do not take a fiduciary commission when buyers use our own search. I would like to request clarification on how we can tread the right line of ethical on this. I see nothing wrong with presenting ourselves as a valuable source of citation, since we believe our work in this field is for the public good - to aid better relationships between them and insurance providers.
DoorDash
Hello! Abby here with DoorDash, hoping to find an editor willing to review a few requests I've posted at Talk:DoorDash. I've proposed updating the infobox, adding mention of the company's launch in Germany, and replacing some "citation needed" tags with sources I hope editors will find helpful. I've received little feedback even though I've used Template:Request edit. I'm not editing the article directly because of my conflict of interest, and I'm hoping a WikiProject Companies member might be able to review and update the page appropriately. Thanks in advance! AH at DoorDash (talk) 23:14, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- I've addressed the open edit requests. Thanks for respecting COI guidelines. DatraxMada (talk) 22:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Help updating Pitney Bowes infobox and intro
Hello! There are some factual inaccuracies in the infobox and introduction of the Pitney Bowes article. As a Pitney Bowes employee, I understand that I’m not able to make edits to fix these details myself. Instead, I posted a request with the specific parameters and claims that need updating on the Pitney Bowes talk page. Might an editor be willing to help review my request and assist in making the changes if they agree with what I've suggested? I appreciate any time and consideration editors are willing to give. Thanks so much! MTatPitneyBowes (talk) 15:16, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- I've responded to your request on the Pitney Bowes talk page. Thanks for raising appropriately. DatraxMada (talk) 19:32, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Yahoo Infobox
Hello, editors! My name is Spencer and I work for Yahoo. I posted an edit request on the Yahoo Talk page to update the Infobox, which was partially implemented. But there are a few remaining proposed edits for consideration. Is anyone available to review the remaining requests? Nothing major, just looking to get the Infobox updated. Due to my COI, I am not able to update the article myself. Spencer at Yahoo (talk) 14:53, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Partially implemented. See feedback at Talk:Yahoo!#Infobox and top sentence. -- DatraxMada (talk) 16:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Help needed to split Citadel Securities from Citadel LLC
Hi, a discussion has determined that Citadel Securities should be split from Citadel LLC. COI editor Amandaatcitadel has prepared a draft here: User:Amandaatcitadel/Citadel Securities. On first impression, the draft seems workable, but I won't have the time required to give it proper attention over in the near future. If anyone has the time to take a look, it would be appreciated. I'm also notifying Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Finance & Investment. JBchrch talk 22:34, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
Want feedback on Draft:Midnight Society
Hello! I kindly ask if someone will give me feedback on the draft I'm giving time in. It's called "Midnight Society", and it was formed by streamer Dr Disrespect alongside Call of Duty and Halo veterans Robert Bowling, Quinn DelHoyo, and Sumit Gupta. The draft was declined multiple times due to lack of reliable sources (in which I improved in), and for notability. I've searched the California Secretary of State website for their name, but no luck. I think some studios don't file as an LLC when they're formed, in which I'm mentioning it as an independent development studio. MikeTimesONE (talk) 12:28, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Streamline Yahoo History section
Hello, editors! My name is Spencer and I work for Yahoo. I posted an edit request on the Yahoo Talk page to update the History section last week. This is a large edit request, should editors want to consider it in smaller sections, I can break the request up. Just let me know. Is anyone available to review it? Due to my COI, I am not able to update the article myself. Thanks! Spencer at Yahoo (talk) 19:06, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Requesting help on a rejected article
It looks like I may have over-written and over-sourced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:PropertyGuru , so my reviewer thinks it sounds like advertising. This is my first-ever full article, and I think I might be in over my head. Requesting experienced editor(s) to help my chop out info that doesn't belong. Thanks! Pathologix (talk) 11:10, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Pathologix:, I took a quick look and would agree with the reviewer. It is written as if the company itself had a hand in it. Ask yourself this, do Wikipedia readers care (or does the company care) about "In 2012, the company raised S$55 million in funding?" These type of drafts also stink of conflict of interest editing. I will always assume good faith in this aspect but would request you review WP:COI and WP:PAID and make any disclosure if applicable. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:53, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to look at the draft and feedback, @CNMall41. Yes, I am well aware of COI and PAID. (Not sure if I should feel complimented that you think my draft is good enough for people to pay for, or insulted that you think I'm breaking rules...) I basically just copied the format of some other Company articles (mostly from the other famous Singaporean unicorn, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grab_(company) and summarized what I thought was encyclopedic info from trusted sources from extensive Google News searches. If you have more concrete suggestions for improving, I'd grateful. I'm pretty despondent about my experience on this, but might revisit in the future. Pathologix (talk) 06:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Pathologix That Grab article is pretty bad, and I wouldn't try to use it as a model. It's better to use good articles as models, for instance the articles listed at Wikipedia:Good articles/Social sciences and society § Businesses and organizations. Skimming through your article, I see a lot of "marketing talk" that doesn't really fit what is expected from an encyclopedia: "It was the biggest acquisition in PropertyGuru’s 14-year history", "was recognised as the leading property marketplace in the country", "was the market leader in four out of five of the largest economies in the region", "profitable and cash flow positive", "higher quality listings rank higher, regardless of whether or not agents advertise" etc. That's the real problem here. JBchrch talk 17:35, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hey, @Pathologix:, thanks for the reply. So which is it ("Not sure if I should feel complimented that you think my draft is good enough for people to pay for, or insulted that you think I'm breaking rules...")? I also see the draft is still full of promo tone so not sure where you are in the overall process. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:44, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)
and turns it into something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Evernote: Company section updates
Hey there! I'm Greg, an Evernote employee trying to get some help updating and improving the company's article. User:Kvng helpfully suggested I give this WikiProject a shot, so here I am. A colleague of mine, User:Evernotebrian, researched and wrote a new draft for the article's Company section. It features some details on recent developments that aren't covered in the current version of the Evernote article and adds improved sourcing to the existing content in that section. His draft is available for review at this link. Additionally, here's a link to the edit request on the Evernote Talk page, where you can see my COI disclosure and follow-up note right below Brian's post. We were also hoping to get the Company header changed to History, because we feel that's a more accurate description of what the section contains, but I know that's an extra consideration. If an interested editor from this WP could at least take a look at the new section draft, that would be terrific. Thanks for your time. Evernote Greg (talk) 15:24, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Dover Corporation primary-sourced subsection removal request
Hello editors! To disclose for transparency: I am an employee of Dover Corporation and am making requests for editors to review rather than making edits due to my COI. I have been making some requests on the Talk page to deal with issues on the page related to the warning flag that mentions advertising content and overreliance on sources related to Dover. My latest request relates to the subsections that discuss the company's different segments: each of these is sourced to references that are company websites. I'd like to suggest removing at least one, and have put forward a specific request for one of the subsections to source some content and remove the rest. One editor shared a few thoughts, but it looks like they are offline or busy currently and they haven't returned. Would any editors here be able to review and provide feedback?

Bank of America Merchant Services
Given that this page describes a joint venture that is no longer operating as a separate entity, as documented in Reuters, Newsroom, and Digital Transactions, I propose changing the text of the article to past-tense as well as adding the following to the end of the article:
- Bank of America ended this joint venture with Fiserv in 2020 and established its own independent Merchant Services platform. [1]
Thanks for reviewing and updating appropriately.
