Incoming links[edit]
The incoming links are links to an an article titled Ansell on the major long established Australian company, which was for several years the primary topic. The article seems to have been radically altered at some point and was deleted in June 2011 as advertising. I am trying to recover an earler version, see discussion here and here. Hopefully then the article title and/or links can then be fixed.--Mhockey (talk) 05:05, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- I have not been able to get any help from the admins involved in deleting the original article, but I have been able to add to an article on the Australian company which was written to replace the deleted article, and fix the incoming links problem by restoring the Australian company as the primary topic. I have also restored the redirects Dunlop Australia and Pacific Dunlop, which were also deleted when the article was deleted, both of which have a good number of incoming links.--Mhockey (talk) 00:04, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

(Change in side bar) Industry: Personal Protective Equipment (Change in side bar) Founded: 1893 (as Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Company) (Add in sidebar ) Areas Served: Worldwide (Change in side bar) Revenue: US$1.49 billion (2018) (Add in sidebar) Number of Employees: 12,000 (Change information under headline) History Founding: Ansell’s history dates to 1893, when John Boyd Dunlop created the Australian branch of the Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Company to manufacture bicycle tires; the tire manufacturing plant was established in Melbourne. The Australian branch was incorporated in 1899 and floated on the Australian stock exchange. In 1905, the Dunlop Board decided to cease condom production. Eric Norman Ansell, a worker at the time, acquired the condom machinery. Later, he founded the Ansell Rubber Company. Early Years: Ansell started out developing condoms before moving into other areas, such as gas masks and weather balloons, as well as developing the first mass-produced disposable latex gloves. In 1946, Ansell developed the first automated glove-dipping machine that could produce 450 pairs of gloves per hour with only one operator. Later, Ansell introduced its Gammex gamma-sterilized disposable surgeon’s gloves. In 1969, the Ansell Rubber Company was acquired by Dunlop Australia Limited (previously the Dunlop Rubber Company of Australia Limited). Expansion: From 1970 until 1989, Dunlop Australia continued to expand through the acquisition of various industrial gloves companies, and production extended to Malaysia and the United States. Ansell’s international sales were soaring in the early 1970s, but shipping products from Australia made timely delivery difficult. To better meet demand, the company built a manufacturing plant in 1975 in Melaka, Malaysia, closer to where latex was being harvested. The plant remains a major component of Ansell manufacturing today. In 1980, Dunlop Australia acquired a competitor and became known as Dunlop Olympic. Several years later, in 1986, it changed its name to Pacific Dunlop, reflecting its geographic expansion. Pacific Dunlop diversified into clothing, batteries, healthcare products and food; by the mid-1990s, it was one of the 20 largest companies in Australia, with operations in 20 countries. In 1991, Ansell specifically became the world’s largest provider of medical, household and industrial gloves. In the later 1990s, Pacific Dunlop suffered from falling profits and a high debt burden. It began a program of divestment, selling its food, battery and clothing businesses. By 2002, Ansell was the last remaining core business of Pacific Dunlop. Finally, the company changed its name to Ansell Limited later that year. [1] Early 2000s to Present: From 2003 to 2010, Ansell moved its headquarters to the U.S. and focused on its Sexual Wellness business through acquiring Jissbon (China), Unimil (Poland), and Blowtex (Brazil). Subsequently, Ansell strategically focused on accelerating growth in the safety industry, including personal protective equipment (PPE). Ansell acquired five companies in the U.S., Sweden, Brazil, France and Korea from 2011 to 2013 to expand global coverage and add new capabilities. From 2014 to 2017, Ansell acquired five more companies in the U.K., U.S., and Sri Lanka to extend into life sciences and clothing PPE. The first acquisition, BarrierSafe Solutions International, was the largest acquisition, totaling $600 million. In 2017, Ansell divested the last of its non-core businesses of Sexual Wellness for $600 million and transformed to a more focused safety company. The following year, Ansell celebrated its 125th anniversary and launched a transformation program that included a $20 million investment to triple manufacturing space in Vietnam. Ansell also acquired Digitcare Corporation, a leading supplier of exam and specialty gloves. Further, in 2019, Ansell acquired Ringers Gloves to widen its industrial portfolio offering.[2] Today, Ansell manufactures more than 10 billion gloves per year, providing protection solutions to more than 25 specific industries and protecting more than 10 million workers each day in over 100 countries.[3] (Add Headline) Finance For the fiscal year of 2018, Ansell reported $1,489.8 million in sales and $193.1 million in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). In comparison to the previous fiscal cycle, both sales and EBIT increased by 5%. In 2018, Ansell’s Industrial Global Business Unit earned a revenue of $716 million and reported $87 million in EBIT. The Healthcare Global Business Unit reported sales of $774 million and $120 million in EBIT. Each section individually experienced over $100 million in new product sales.[4] Summary of Years 2011-2017: Year; Revenue in million US$; Profit for the Period; Total Assets; Underlying Earnings per Share in US cents; Share price at 30 June in AU$ 2011; 1,206.9; 124.8; 1,298.1; 91.6; 14.16 2012; 1,255.3; 136.1; 1,353.9; 101.4; 13.20 2013; 1,372.8; 143.3; 1,703.9; 106.5; 17.63 2014; 1,590.2; 44.4; 2,359.9; 110.0; 19.83 2015; 1,645.1; 189.1; 2,376.4; 122.5; 24.09 2016; 1,572.8; 161.9; 2,290.6; 105.1; 18.17 2017; 1,599.7; 150.2; 2,450.5; 100.1; 22.68 (Change) Brands and Products Industrial: Ansell’s Industrial division manufactures and markets high-performance hand and body protection solutions for a wide-range of industrial applications, such as mechanical, chemical and disposable protection.

Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly.[a]
- The citation style predominantly used by the Ansell article appears to be Citation Style 1. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.[b] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.)
- Citation ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.)
In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.
Request edit examples
|
|---|
In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Ansell article. Additionally, the ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:
In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the ref tags are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review. |
Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards, Spintendo 13:53, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Notes
- ^ In addition to not being formatted correctly, the request has provided only references from the subject company. WP:SECONDARY sources unconnected to the subject company ought to be provided.
- ^ The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.
@144.121.247.195: Thank you for re-formatting the references as CS1, it's much appreciated. Unfortunately, the citation's ref tags are not properly placed. You have some of them placed in headings — where they should not be — while others have been placed at the end of long passages of text. Ref tags need to be placed in all locations where claims are displayed in the article.
Finally, the claims you've proposed originate only from the subject company's website. Wikipedia is not meant to act as a mirror of information which is available elsewhere, such as the company's own website. Some details, such as a minimal listing of company executives as well as minimal fiancial and product information, is capapble of being referenced by the company. But an article should not be composed of only company sources, which this draft proposal is. The article would be best be served as an amalgamation of company claims mixed with claims originating from various reliable secondary sources which are unconnected to the company itself.

I am an Australian editor and can probably add this content to the page. Probably need to remove some peacock language and delete the lists of employee names as they are specified on the company website and will be very difficult to keep up-to-date on Wiki. Also, I am fairly sure that employees are not 'encyclopedic' aside from CEO/founder type roles. MarekJG (talk) 22:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

After thoroughly reviewing Wikipedia policies, I have edited my proposed changes to the Ansell page and ensured it follows the terms of use. The information in this article is outdated and simply incorrect. I have organized the information to be added or removed to include detailed and easy-to-follow instructions. After reading some advice, I removed unnecessary information and tried to make the history as neutral as possible. The sources extend further than the company website and are cited in Citation Style 1.

After thoroughly reviewing Wikipedia policies once again, I have edited my proposed changes to the Ansell page and ensured it follows the terms of use. I apologize for my mistakes - I am new to Wikipedia and am trying my best at following the policies. That being said, the information in this article is outdated and simply incorrect; my intentions are just to correct it. I have organized the information to be added or removed to include detailed and easy-to-follow instructions. After reading some advice, I removed unnecessary information and tried to make the history as neutral as possible. I also removed the trademarks, as that was my mistake.
