Conflict of interest

Wikiscanner reveals that APN has edited their own page to direct more traffic to their websites, and incorrectly points to UBD (a type of drilling) instead of what I presume was meant to be pointing to a non-existant article about "UBD InfoRed Directories". I'm going to remove these changes citing Wikipedia:Conflict of interest BigBrownChunx 07:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 3 external links on APN News & Media. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
  • If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Requested move 8 September 2019

– The holdings of ARN and and HT&E are now largely identical (with the main exception being Conversant Media) following the announcement that HT&E would be closing Gfinity Esports Australia this year. This article is primarily concerned with the former APN News & Media and it would be much more suitable to have it concerned with the historical organisation (akin to the articles on Provincial Newspapers (QLD) Ltd and Fairfax Media). The current ARN article can easily be altered to include other HT&E holdings. DilatoryRevolution (talk) 13:35, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. The articles appear to be about exactly the topics they claim to be about, complete with website links to the current extant websites for HT&E and ARN respectively. The HT&E page does have some of the history for APN brands that are no longer under the umbrella, but that's more just a list at the moment, and the topic also covers entities such as Conversant Media, Emotive and Unbound Group, which are not part of the radio group but the wider HT&E empire.  — Amakuru (talk) 14:56, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • You make a good point that HT&E does not solely include ARN and that an article on HT&E should include information on the wider business. However, this article currently does not cover anything concerning Emotive or Unbound and contains only a single link to anything associated with Conservant Media. That bullet point and the sentence about the Adshel sale are really the only elements of the article that aren't more directly related to APN than HT&E. Following a move the new HT&E article (currently the ARN article) could be expanded to include other aspects of the business, as it is currently (aside from its introductory paragraph) primarily a list of assets owned by ARN. 122.202.11.16 (talk) 07:04, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
