  Unable to review edit request  

  • Your edit request could not be reviewed because the provided references are not formatted correctly.[a] The citation style predominantly used by the West Pharmaceutical Services article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). 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.)
  • Additionally, the COI editor has not made the necessary disclosures.

In the extended section below titled Citation style, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:

Citation style
Bare URL reference formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.[3]

References

1. https://www.booksource.com
2. http://www.journalsource.com
3. http://www.websource.com

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 West Pharmaceutical Services article. Using this style, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Citation Style 1 formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2018|page=1}}</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Harinath|first1=Paramjit|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2018|page=46}}</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2018|page=2}}</ref>

Displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.[3]

References

  1. ^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2018, p. 1.
  2. ^ Harinath, Paramjit. "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46.
  3. ^ Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2018, p. 2.

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. 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  02:01, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

  1. ^ The fault for this formatting error may have originated with the automated prompts used by the edit request template, which asks for a COI editor to "supply the URL of any references used". While the resulting omission of information would not be the fault of the requesting COI editor, it nevertheless remains their responsibility to supply the references formatted in the style used by the article.
  2. ^ 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.[1]

References

  1. ^ "WP:CITEVAR - Wikipedia:Citing sources". Wikipedia. 20 October 2018. Retrieved 22 October 2018. Guideline: It is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor or adopted by the consensus of editors already working on the page, unless a change in consensus has been achieved. If the article you are editing is already using a particular citation style, you should follow it.

Some proposed changes

Hello - this a resubmit of the previous edit, reformatting the references per Spintendo's insights. Likewise, I would like to disclose once more that I am reaching out on behalf of Green Room Communications, of which West Pharmaceuticals is a client of ours. If any additional disclosures are needed, please let me know. Thank you!

Below, you will find the adjusted changes according to the correct format.

Some proposed changes

Hello – this a continuation of the previous thread. I would like to disclose once more that I am reaching out on behalf of Green Room Communications, of which West Pharmaceuticals is a client of ours recognized above. If any additional disclosures are needed, please let me know. Thank you!

Per Spintendo's insights, we have supplied additional secondary sources to support the proposed changes. Please let me know if any additional sources or adjustments would be helpful, or if anything else is needed in advance. Thank you kindly for your insight.

Below are the revised changes according to the correct format.

Hi @GreenRoomWest: There are some things that you should do to help us evaluate your request. First, as Spintendo pointed out above, the primary sourced content does not meet Wikipedia reliability and verificability standards. Please look over WP:RS and WP:V as they can explain the details of what sources we need. Then remove from your request anything that is sourced to West Pharmaceutical. (That includes their website, press releases, Street Insider, Packaging South Asia, etc. since that information will not be considered for inclusion in the article.) Once you've scrubbed your request of the primary-sourced content, please resubmit it. Thank you! Orville1974 (talk) 03:14, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Changes/Clarification

==Some proposed changes== {{request edit}

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

To confirm next steps, the proposed changes submitted sought to provide the most recent metrics about West Pharmaceutical Services’ current earnings, revenue and employees. This company information is available publicly online in the Annual Report 2018, which is the reference type that is used currently on the West Wikipedia page (please see reference #1, Annual Report 2011). Given that annual reports are public disclosures of validated company information and West’s annual report was used as a reference in the past, would this source still be applicable to these proposed changes?

Similarly, the secondary sources provided such as ANI, Packaging South Asia, Street Insider, Pharmaceutical Technology, Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry, The Times of Israel, and Israel 21 C are factual in nature and maintain a neutral, objective point of view. Would we also remove these sources from our request?

We have reviewed the English Wikipedia pages of companies within West Pharmaceutical Services’ industry such as Gerresheimer, Becton Dickinson, and Stevanto Group. These pages also contain references to annual reports, links to pages on the company’s websites (e.g., the references on Stevanto Group’s page are primarily only links from the company’s website) and press releases. Can you provide clarity as to why those references are included on those pages, but the primary sources provided for West need revisions? We want to ensure we are approaching correctly and respecting your time.

Additionally, is there a number or contact email that we could reach out to specifically? Thank you in advance.

Some proposed changes

Some proposed changes

Hello,

This is a follow-up to the proposed changes submitted above (on July 15) which sought to provide the most recent metrics about West Pharmaceutical Services. We would greatly appreciate clarity around the feedback received regarding the Annual Report, secondary sources, and the discrepancy in sources from industry peers (e.g., Gerresheimer, BD and Stevanto Group), as noted in the request above.

Would it possible to schedule a phone call with an editor to discuss these questions to receive clarification? We would be happy to set up time to clarify.

Thank you in advance, and we look forward to hearing from you. GreenRoomWest (talk) 21:05, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
