== Updating Outside of New York section == |
|||
{{Edit COI}} |
|||
Hello again, |
|||
I'm returning to propose updates to the '''Outside of New York''' subsection. First, I'd like to ask that the section heading be changed to '''National work'''. While GSG once worked primarily with New York-based clients, the NY/non-NY dichotomy no longer describes the firm's business. It is now, as I think the revised section below establishes, a national firm with a particularly big footprint in NY politics. |
|||
As I did above with the '''New York State''' section, I've put together a side-by-side that shows all the changes I'm looking to make. I'll briefly summarize those: |
|||
* Add summary claim that GSG is one of the largest Democratic polling firms in America |
|||
* Cut down content on clients from 10-15 years ago, grouped them together into a single sentence |
|||
* Add a number of more recent clients, including governors, senators, and House reps |
|||
* Add a sentence about large national Democratic organizations that GSG has worked with |
|||
* Add a sentence about the establishment of Navigator Research in 2018 (a version of this sentence used to appear in the '''History and organization section'''; I think it makes sense here) |
|||
* Add a brief paragraph about GSG joining with other big Democratic polling firms to review practices |
|||
* Add a brief paragraph about working with Center for American Progress to develop "MAGA Republican" messaging |
|||
* Add mention of the firm's Business & Politics study, which it has delivered every year for the past decade (as with Navigator, a version of this sentence used to be in the '''History and organization''') |
|||
Here is the side-by-side:{{collapse top|Existing section vs. Revised section}} |

{{textdiff|In 2007, the [[The Washington Post|''Washington Post'']] noted that Democratic presidential candidate [[John Edwards]] employed Harrison Hickman, a principal at GSG, as his [[John Edwards 2008 presidential campaign|campaign]] pollster.

Updating History and organization section
![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello,
I'm a Global Strategy Group employee who has been tasked with updating the firm's article. I want to go about this the right way, so I'll be abundantly clear about my COI and will suggest edits rather than making direct changes to the GSG page. For my first request, I wanted to ask if editors would consider making changes to the History and organization section, which currently contains a few inaccuracies and informational gaps. It also lacks secondary sourcing, which I understand is important for substantiating claims on Wikipedia.
If you follow this link, it will take you to a subsection of my user page, where I have uploaded a revised section draft that I believe fixes these issues and improves the section overall. On that page, you will see: 1.) the current section; 2.) my revised section draft; and 3.) a list of all the changes I'm proposing, in the order they appear within the draft.
Please feel free to critique my draft. I've read up on Wikipedia's content guidelines and done my best to make sure all the language I've drafted aligns with it, but I'm obviously an interested party and understand that compromise might be necessary.
Thank you! ES at Global Strategy Group (talk) 14:57, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reaching out to User:Drm310, to see if they would like to review my revised section draft. No pressure, Drm, but since you added my username to the top of this Talk page, I thought I would see if you're interested. ES at Global Strategy Group (talk) 13:56, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- I noticed that User:HeyElliott and User:Novo Tape recently edited the article, so I'm tagging them in here as well. If either editor would like to take a look at my proposed updates, I would very much appreciate it! ES at Global Strategy Group (talk) 13:53, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Some observations from the COI editor's draft:
- The draft that was written was placed on a page that the COI editor ultimately controls. In the interests of transparency, edit requests should be made with the text being placed on the talk page of the article, so that it may act as a permanent record of the requests being made for future editors to see.
- The highlighting system that the draft uses is not at all helpful. At best, it does not do enough to draw attention to what is being changed between the two versions, and at worst, it acts as a hindrance to the reviewer being able to quickly identify the changes. (For example, by highlighting an entire paragraph — which the reviewer must now read through — when perhaps only three words were changed.)
- There are a handful of incidents where more than one reference is placed at the end of a sentence. This would normally indicate that both references verify everything in the sentence. Usually when that happens, it's best to let a single reference do the job by itself—preferably the stronger of the two. In circumstances where multiple references verify different elements within a single sentence, then the guidelines at WP:INTEGRITY should be followed. If this is how the references are handled in the article currently, and if it is the desire of the COI editor for the reviewer to simply carry over these multiple references (in essence, giving a second pass to a possible mistake that was given a pass the first time) then the draft, IMO is not approvable.
- There are instances in the proposed text where the subject organization acts as a reference for its own information. I see that this is merely the case because that is how the article's referencing is handled now. But as I said earlier, if the changes are to be implemented as a whole, and if those changes are to simply carry over problematic sourcing from the organization itself, then — from my perspective as the reviewer[a]—the request as a whole would not be approvable.
- I've made a general cleanup of the article, so the part of the COI editor's request where it gives the text "as it currently stands in the article" is no longer current.
The COI editor should feel free at their earliest convenience to submit future edit requests here on the talk page, taking care to ensure that they activate the {{Edit COI}}
template whenever they are ready to proceed.
Notes
- ^ The reviewer carries responsibility for anything that is changed in the article. For example, if the request is to change only a single word in a sentence while leaving all the referencing alone, the reviewer now becomes responsible for that entire sentence and its referencing even though they only changed a single word. This is because a changed word doesn't sit alone. It impacts, — and conversely, is impacted by — everything around it

Revised History and organization request
![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Apologies for any confusion I created, User:Spintendo. Thanks for giving the article a once-over. I'll revise what I'm asking for and start a fresh request, so that I can work off your changes. In the History and organization, I'm seeking to accomplish the following:
- Clarify that GSG conducts "public opinion research" as opposed to "market research"
- Add that GSG has expanded into public relations, public affairs, and creative services over the course of its history
- Add some new satellite offices that GSG has opened since the last time this article was updated
- Add a paragraph that recaps some important developments in the firm's history over the last few years
In accordance with Spintendo's suggestion above, I've trimmed all superfluous references. There's now only one sentence—about GSG's expansion of services—that has two of them. That's because the CNBC piece substantiates that GSG is in the public relations business, and the O'Dwyer's one substantiates that the firm also works in public affairs and offers creative services. And I've left the primary source at the end of the sentence about GSG office locations. I know that we don't want to have GSG backing up lots of claims about itself, but in this one case I wonder if the firm can be considered a reliable source. I'll let independent editors determine that.
Here is a side-by-side of the current section and the changes I'm proposing:
− | + | In 1995, GSG was founded by Jonathan Silvan (CEO), Jefrey Pollock (President), and Jeffrey Plaut (Partner) as a boutique polling firm. From its inception, GSG has conducted [[Opinion poll|public opinion research]] on behalf of its clients. Its clients have included political, corporate, and nonprofit organizations. Over time, it has also developed public relations, public affairs, and creative services. In 2008, the firm's annual revenues were about $20 million, and it had 50 employees. In addition to its main offices in New York and [[Washington, D.C.]], GSG has offices in [[Chicago]], [[Denver]], [[Seattle]], [[Philadelphia]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]]; and [[Hartford, Connecticut]].
In 2019, GSG recorded $33.4 million in revenue. That figure increased to $50.5 million the following year. In 2022, the Milan-based communications firm SEC Newgate acquired a significant stake in GSG. Following this acquisition, GSG continued to function independently, while using SEC Newgate's resources to expand its operations outside the United States. As of April 2022, GSG had approximately 150 employees. |
If all my edits were implemented exactly as I'm proposing, the History and organization would look like this:

Updating New York State section
![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello again,
I'm back to suggest improvements to the article's New York State section. There's a side-by-side comparison below, but I'll also briefly explain what I'm trying to accomplish:
- Standardize all citations with consistent ref names, so that it's easy to see how many times and where in the section a particular source is cited
- Add citation to opening sentence
- Remove sentence about Melissa DeRosa, since it describes an action taken by somebody in the Governor's office and not at GSG
- Add a couple sentences about GSG's relationship with current NY Governor Kathy Hochul, since she's one of the firm's most notable clients
- Add sentence, per a NY attorney general's report, about GSG President Jefrey Pollock's advice to then-Governor Cuomo as sexual harassment scandal was breaking
- Add a brief paragraph about NY-based members of Congress that GSG has worked for
- Simplify passage about GSG running polling for Scott Stringer. ("Internal polling operation" is a little bit redundant and confusing. The polling GSG does for a candidate's election campaign is always internal.)
- Do some light reorganization, so that Kirsten Gillibrand is in the paragraph about GSG's congressional clients, and Bill De Blasio and Scott Stringer are grouped together in one about New York city politics
− | GSG has advised New York politicians, including former Governors [[Andrew Cuomo]] and [[Eliot Spitzer]].
During [[Andrew Cuomo]]'s gubernatorial tenure, GSG President Jefrey Pollock was described as a member of Cuomo's "inner circle". According to the ''[[New York Times]]'', | + | GSG has advised New York politicians, including former Governors [[Andrew Cuomo]] and [[Eliot Spitzer]]. The firm also advises current New York Governor Kathy Hochul. The relationship between GSG and Hochul dates back to the [[2011 New York's 26th congressional district special election|New York 26th congressional district special election]], when GSG did polling and strategic work for her winning campaign.
During [[Andrew Cuomo]]'s gubernatorial tenure, GSG President Jefrey Pollock was described as a member of Cuomo's "inner circle".

- The edit request contains references from the New York Post. Although these references apparently already exist in the article, the COI editor has asked that these references be carried over into the newer requested version. As the use of that source is currently deprecated, the requested changes cannot be carried out.
- The COI editor is kindly asked to reformulate their request, taking care to ensure that any text referenced by the New York Post either be removed or replaced with an appropriate source.

- User:Spintendo: Thank you for taking the time to review my request. I've removed the sentence that uses the New York Post as a source. It's a little bit redundant anyway, since the beginning of the section establishes that GSG has advised Cuomo. You can see that removal reflected in the (otherwise unchanged) side-by-side comparison:

- User:Spintendo: You're seeing the New York Post as a reference because the "reflist" code is capturing all the sources in both the current and revised versions of the subsection.

If you look closely at the footnotes in that second dropdown, you'll see that the Post article is reference number 2, but there's no superscript 2 in the actual text.

"It has also done polling for New York House Representatives, including Joe Morelle, Ritchie Torres, Nydia Velazquez, Jerry Nadler"
cityandstateny.com is listed as the reference, but Jerry Nadler's name does not appear under the GSG section in that source. His name is listed, but other consultants are described as helping him. If cityandstateny does not describe Nadler as being advised by GSG, then his name should not be included under that ref note. I haven't checked all the other names with the three sources that are listed there yet, but I intend to, so I just want to make sure that all the names align with each ref note used, per WP:INTEGRITY. If you could doublecheck that as well that would be much appreciated. Thank you! Regards, Spintendo 02:54, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello again,
I'm returning to propose updates to the Outside of New York subsection. First, I'd like to ask that the section heading be changed to National work. While GSG once worked primarily with New York-based clients, the NY/non-NY dichotomy no longer describes the firm's business. It is now, as I think the revised section below establishes, a national firm with a particularly big footprint in NY politics.
As I did above with the New York State section, I've put together a side-by-side that shows all the changes I'm looking to make. I'll briefly summarize those:
- Add summary claim that GSG is one of the largest Democratic polling firms in America
- Cut down content on clients from 10-15 years ago, grouped them together into a single sentence
- Add a number of more recent clients, including governors, senators, and House reps
- Add a sentence about large national Democratic organizations that GSG has worked with
- Add a sentence about the establishment of Navigator Research in 2018 (a version of this sentence used to appear in the History and organization section; I think it makes sense here)
- Add a brief paragraph about GSG joining with other big Democratic polling firms to review practices
- Add a brief paragraph about working with Center for American Progress to develop "MAGA Republican" messaging
- Add mention of the firm's Business & Politics study, which it has delivered every year for the past decade (as with Navigator, a version of this sentence used to be in the History and organization)
Here is the side-by-side:

Global Strategy Group is one of the largest Democratic polling firms in America.[1] Its past clients have included Al Gore during his 2000 presidential run,[2] John Edwards in 2008,[3] former Governor of Iowa Chet Culver,[4] and former Governor of Montana Brian Schweitzer.[5] The firm has also done polling for Democratic candidates including Governors J.B. Pritzker,[6] Janet Mills,[7] and Josh Shapiro;[8] Senators Ed Markey and Jacky Rosen;[9] and Representatives Gabe Vasquez,[10] Sharice Davids,[11] and Steven Horsford.[12] It regularly works with Democratic organizations such as the Democratic Governors Association,[13] Priorities USA, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.[14] In 2018, GSG's Jefrey Pollock and Nick Gourevitch, with other Democratic strategists, founded a polling project called Navigator Research. The project aims to provide research that helps Democratic candidates, committees, and pundits develop messaging that the voting public is likely to find persuasive.[15] In 2016, GSG worked for Coloradans for Coloradans, an advocacy group that campaigned against an initiative to establish a single-payer healthcare system in Colorado.[16] In 2020, GSG worked for Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign, and conducted polling that found that Bernie Sanders would damage the prospects of Democratic candidates if he was the party’s presidential nominee.[17] GSG was hired by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) to conduct polling on the 2020 Senate race in Georgia. GSG's research found that David Purdue, who went on to be defeated by Democratic Jon Ossoff,[18] was seen unfavorably by a plurality of voters.[19] In early 2021, GSG and four other large Democratic polling firms led an internal review of the factors that caused them to make certain inaccurate predictions ahead of the 2020 election.[1] The group released recommendations intended to improve polling accuracy in future elections.[20] In 2022, GSG worked with the Center for American Progress Action Fund on a research project gauging voter attitudes toward the term "MAGA Republican". This research, which found that most voters view the term negatively, was used by the Biden White House in composing a speech that was critical of Donald Trump and the "ultra MAGA agenda."[21] Since 2013, GSG has delivered an annual "Business & Politics" study, which reports on issues at the intersection of the public and private sectors.[22] References
