    {{Request edit}}

    Dear sir. I am an employee at the chocolate bar factory Alpha. My employer has asked that I investigate how we can update the revenue information on the company information box of our article. The information there currently is from 2001! You can find the latest revenue numbers in our annual report [www.thisisanexampleURL.com here]. I read the COI guidelines and was uncertain on how to proceed. Can you help? ExampleUserA (talk) 03:21, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Requesting help for Verizon Enterprise Solutions article

    Hello, I'm back to request help from an editor on the Verizon Enterprise Solutions article. The article is very short and has almost no information, so I drafted a more complete version, which I've uploaded to my userspace.

    I've attempted to reach out to relevant WikiProjects and individual editors to help here, but as of yet, I've had no response from any of them. I'm hopeful an editor here can take a look at my draft and implement it if it looks okay. As I've mentioned here before, I'm an employee of Verizon, so I don't make any edits myself.

    Thanks so much, VZBob (talk) 20:29, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks kindly for bringing this to our attention, VZBob. I've nominated the article for deletion. DocumentError (talk) 02:50, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi DocumentError, thanks for your reply—however, I think I wasn't clear. I do believe that Verizon Enterprise Solutions has enough independent coverage in the press to warrant having a Wikipedia article. Because the article is short, I drafted a longer article to replace it. I posted here in the hopes that an editor could review my draft and replace the live article with it if it looked okay. Do you think you might have time to take a look?
    Thanks so much, VZBob (talk) 13:19, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry,VZBob, I read too quickly. Of course your article is great. I'll update it now and withdraw the deletion nomination. Also, I'll submit it for a DYK feature as soon as the deletion nomination has been closed. DocumentError (talk) 08:07, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi DocumentError, no problem at all, and thank you so much for looking at my draft and implementing it! VZBob (talk) 13:21, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    COI help - already tried talk page and help chat

    Hi, I'm a paid editor with a COI. In November, I posted proposed changes to the Christopher J.L. Murray page. Receiving no response to my draft - and unsure whether the lack of response meant the draft didn't fit the guidelines or simply was backlogged - I posted again. After that, I sought help via Help Chat and incorporated the suggestions of the helpful editors there. I posted again but still have no response. The guidelines say the next step is to post here. Can you help? Thanks! Savannah38 (talk) 17:51, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
