-:This edit request is still rather promotional...I don't like the direct appeal to the reader (e.g. Maven is a personal mobility application for '''your''' mobile device), nor how the article is written from a corporate perspective. As the edit request filer attempted to remove this request from the talk page, I'm going to mark it as declined. [[User:Altamel|Altamel]] ([[User talk:Altamel|talk]]) 04:19, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

-==Some proposed changes==
-{{request edit|A}}
-Remove "Atlanta" from the "Area Served" section. Maven has been sending emails to members in Atlanta that it will no longer serve the area; https://www.reddit.com/r/Atlanta/comments/6yulfz/maven_car_share_leaves_atlanta_after_only_7_months/
-[[User:Wcacr9113|Wcacr9113]] ([[User talk:Wcacr9113|talk]]) 17:32, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
-:Hmm...on the one hand, I hate to rely on Reddit as a source, and I don't see any press releases or news articles announcing a withdrawal from the Atlanta market. On the other hand, the claim that Maven services Atlanta does lack a citation, and seeing as Maven's website does not list Atlanta as a serviced city any longer, I'll remove the entry. Does Maven still operate in Jersey City? I don't see that on Maven's website either. [[User:Altamel|Altamel]] ([[User talk:Altamel|talk]]) 04:19, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
-{{reply to|Altamel}} Thanks for looking into this further. Yes Maven still has a station located in Jersey City.
