Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Companies

Hello

I contact you to react to the Wikipedia article about Quintana Roo ( Company ) USA https://en.wikipedia.org wiki Quintana_roo

who claims to have created the first Triathlon wetsuit in 1987; well that’s not true!

I am Xavier MERIAN creator of the brand AQUAMAN France specialized in Triathlon wetsuits production since 1984 and inventor of the first one .

I am writing to restore the Truth.

Here is the compelling evidence to the contrary

We published an advertizing in January 1986 (at that date the Quintanaroo company did not even exist) in the French Triathlete Magazine

it can be consulted directly today to : Triathlete magazine 2 Rue de la Justice 93213 SAINT DENIS LA PLAINE- FRANCE www.triathlete.fr thierry@triathlete.fr

regards

Article badly needed on Silicon Valley culture

An article on the work culture of Silicon Valley, possibly titled Silicon Valley culture or possibly Culture of technology companies or something, is very badly needed. We don't currently have anything like it at Silicon Valley#Culture or Culture of San Francisco, both of which just talk about museums and such, nor is there any article linked at places it should be, such as Organizational culture and Silicon Valley (TV series). Does anyone want to write it? For now, I'm going to just insert some redlinks (I reject WP:WTAF for cases like this). {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 17:56, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Companies manufacturing Cirrus aero engines

The article at ADC Cirrus lists about half a dozen companies which manufactured one or more aero engines in this family over a 30-year period. Currently the ADC, Cirrus Aero Engines and Blackburn Aircraft companies have their own articles, of which the Cirrus Aero Engines article adds nothing new. Three other dedicated companies (one owned by Blackburn but operated independently) have no separate article. (For more background, see this discussion). I am not familiar with this project's guidelines and consensus practices. Should we be looking to create more articles for more of the smaller companies, or to merge the Cirrus Aero Engines article back into the overview at ADC Cirrus?— Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 13:53, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Found the WP:COMPANY guideline now, so problem resolved. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:20, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Update JLL article

Hello, Wikipedia! It's Jessica from JLL. I have some suggestions to update improperly sourced and inaccurate information in the "History section" of the JLL (company) article. You may review the full request at Talk:JLL_(company)#Update_History_section,_remove_tag.

Due to my conflict of interest, I will only post to talk pages and refrain from making direct edits. Please let me know if you have any feedback or questions. Thank you. JKatJLL (talk) 15:58, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Help with stock symbol?

Hallo, I'm trying to add the stock symbol to the infobox for Swedish Orphan Biovitrum. I can find it on the Nasdaq Nordic listings here but can't work out how to use the {{OMX}} template to get it into the infobox. I'm out of my depth here - can anyone please help? Thanks in advance. PamD 15:58, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

PamD, the way you added it was already working. I did move it to the correct parameter, though. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 16:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

IceWelder Ah, I see what happened: that was not "the way [I] added it" but the way someone else had previously added it which I hadn't noticed because I was looking for, and trying to add, the "traded as" field! I couldn't work out the "SSE36316" bit. Thanks anyway. PamD 16:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Guidance needed on how to establish notability of company

Hi, my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Scantrust has been declined for lack of notability. I had exchanges with reviewers in the Teahouse(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse#Article_declined_for_lack_of_notability), and they consider that the articles that I indicated as being the ones who most contribute to notability, are based on interviews. However, a Wikipedia essay on notability says that "commentary added to interviews by a publication can sometimes count as secondary-source material", which is generally the case here.

At this point I am not sure if I should keep trying to make a case for notability, and how I should approach this. One approach would be to suggest a different set of sources to indicate notability that are not transparently based on interviews.

Would someone be able to help me here? I am not sure what to do next.

Please note that I have a COI that is fully disclosed on the article page, but this should not affect the evaluation of notability.

Many thanks, Factfox (talk) 12:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

N.S. Bienstock

Hello! I work for Executive Writing, and as part of my consultancy, I work with United Talent Agency. I am hoping an editor would be willing to change the N.S. Bienstock page to reflect that the company was acquired by United Talent Agency in 2014. I will not make any changes to the page. Thank you. EWChristine (talk) 18:38, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Help with Huawei article

The Huawei company article is flagged for disputed neutrality. There is a discussion in the talk on the article. There is another article Criticism of Huawei. Please provide clarity on protocol here. How long is the wait period for input to the talk discussion before action is taken? Looks like moving the non-neutral items to Criticism of Huawei article would address the neutrality issue. Will do this move and add more relevant facts to the Huawei article unless further input from other editors is provided. --Ian Korman (talk) 07:19, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

KOG Games situation

Good day everyone. I'm an independent hobbyist editor, and i've recently drawn my attention to the KOG Games page. Currently, it's a mixed jumble of KOG Studios, the South Korean developer, and KOG Games, its american subsidiary, and seemingly linked to WikiProject Companies. I'd be interested to hear some input about this - Would a seperation be better? Or transferring what matters about KOG Games to a new "KOG Studios" page? More on the Talk:KOG Games page. Best regards, GameOver2017 (talk) 19:06, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

The article seems to be only about the American subsid, with just a few mentions of the SK entity. If the SK entity is not notable on its own, a split is not justified, as it would just create another stub. Looking at the article in its current state, I don't even think that KOG Games is notable; there are only two reliable sources (IGN, Inven), of which both are churnalism with no actual significant coverage. I might be able to properly look for sources tomorrow, although a quick glance does not raise any hopes. WP:VG/RS has a list of reliable sources for video games you may want to check out, too. Yet, deletion should still be considered a possible solution to your issue. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 20:55, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I'm not very familiar with notability, so I'm not entirely sure how to estabilish the notability about a game developer. Should I look for coverage about their games or the company itself? I'd like to add what I know from my research: There isn't much coverage about KOG as a company, since the peak of popularity of their games was in the late 2000's, which makes sources sparce, and their games were published by 8 different companies across the pacific, each in different countries. KOG Games, on the other hand, is more recent and is based in America, but most coverage about it is about cancelled american ports of KOG's games, from unreliable sources like MMORPG. Besides, it completely skips over Grand Chase, which was KOG's most popular title. In what direction should the article proceed? Thank you for time. GameOver2017 (talk) 23:14, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, there should decent coverage the company as a company, not just passing mentions of the name when its games are discussed. See also WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. I checked around but couldn't find anything substantial on either topic in reliable sources apart from news bits about the acquisition/rebranding from Kill3rCombo to KOG Games, so deletion (WP:AFD) would be justified.

YouTeam wiki page

Hi WikiProject Companies,

Straight ahead I want to make it clear that I (@ShevchukSS) work on YouTeam. But I have no intention of posting a promo article about this company. Let me explain the situation.

I was researching Y Combinator startups and found this List of Y Combinator startups on Wikipedia. I was surprised that not all the startups that completed the Y Combinator Accelerator program are listed there, and I thought that it can be misguiding. I tried to make an edit and added startups of the same batch with YouTeam that were not listed (including YouTeam). But my edits were not accepted because there were no wiki pages of these startups. So my logical reaction was a creation of the YouTeam wiki page (so it could be added to this list).

But the YouTeam wiki page was also deleted because of the COI. Fair enough, I didn't ad a notice about my connection with the company. But I didn't do it just because I didn't know about this at that time.

So now I want to make everything right.

- I want to ask for your permission and help to create a wiki page for YouTeam which is a Y Combinator startup and deserves to be in the list of YC startups.

- I created a draft of the page which could be used as a starting point.

- I tried to keep a neutral point of view and used only facts that could be proved by reliable sources. (But maybe the more experienced editor will help to improve the wording.)

- I structured it the same way as were structured many startup wiki pages from the list (tried to follow advice to make it similar to content that was accepted to Wikipedia).

- As was recommended, I suggested adding a YouTeam wiki page on the Wikipedia:Requested articles (check on the Y - YouTeam)

- I made a note about my connection to the company on my user page.

- And now I'm writing to you.

I hope you can help me to make it happen. I don't want to add any promotional part to this page, but I believe that as an informational piece of content it can exist.

Would appreciate your help and advice. --ShevchukSS (talk) 19:38, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

The Brand Laureate Awards -- are they independent/reliable?

I'm working on cleaning up the promotional nature of XOX right now. The award section has "The Brand Laureate" listed a couple of times, and it seems like to nominate a company it costs around $230 US dollars (RM 1000). Would this be considered a non-significant award, since it is a partially paid process? Should this type of award be included in articles? I'd appreciate anyone's input. - Whisperjanes (talk) 19:26, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Northvolt

I was looking for information about this company and noticed that the relative article was removed (twice) from NS0 due to alleged promotional tones and suspect paid editing. However, the current edition (Draft:Northvolt) seems to me absolutely fine. Before moving the page to NS0 again I'd be glad to gather opinions from other users.

Help with company article

Hello everyone,

I've drafted an article for the company I work for, Draft:Wejo, which is waiting for review. I've tried to the best of my ability to follow the advice from other users in terms of keeping to the blatant advertising guidelines and stating my relationship with the company.

I'd really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

Multiple false statements about counterfeit goods

I work for Supreme (brand), the clothing and skateboarding brand. Multiple false and deceptive statements have been added to Supreme (brand)#Lawsuits to deceive readers into buying counterfeit "Supreme"-branded goods. I have posted a request that independent editors review Talk proposals for corrections and updates atTalk:Supreme (brand)#Multiple false statements about counterfeit_goods Since this is potentially a contentious matter, it is outside the purview of the “Request Edit” queue and I thought members of this project might be interested in doing a review.

Products section for 3M article

Hello! On behalf of 3M (and as disclosed on the article's talk page), I've submitted a request to add a brief and neutral summary of the company's products here: Talk:3M#Products_and_patents. Currently, the introduction mentions a few 3M products manufactured, but sourced by The Motley Fool and 3M's website. I've drafted an overview, separated by segment, using The Washington Post, CNBC, CNN, and the Star Tribune as sources, and I've made sure no specific brand names are mentioned by name. Can someone please review the request and update the page on my behalf? Thanks! CB at 3M (talk) 19:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
