Too many Honeywells?
I think the proliferation of articles on Honeywell is confusing. There's this article on Honeywell (Honeywell International, Inc.) as well as separate articles on Honeywell Aerospace and Honeywell Turbo Technologies. Yet this parent Honeywell International page is missing something that's badly needed: a diagram outlining the structure of the conglomerate, which could explain where some of the "parts" (Aerospace and Turbo Technologies) fit into the whole. In fact, I think Turbo Technologies is itself a part (or a set of products) of the Honeywell Aerospace. As things now stand, there is redundancy among the three articles as well as confusion about their relationships.~Mack2~
Improving the article for neutrality
@Mean as custard:I noticed you recently added a promotional content warning banner to Honeywell. My former colleague User:FacultiesIntact collaborated with other editors to help contribute to the article. Company articles can be challenging to navigate between the fine line of promotion and education. Were there any sections in particular that stood out to you as overly promotional?
I think there’s still a lot of good content there and I wouldn’t want the reader to conflate that with advertising. I have a COI with Honeywell too. In the spirit of collaboration, how about we open the conversation to others for feedback on the offending content. Would you be open to collaborating?--Chefmikesf (talk) 00:19, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Mean as custard: Thanks for add the notes to the Business Unit section. I updated the phrases I interpreted are promotional. The new word or phrases are bold. What are your thoughts?--Chefmikesf (talk) 22:03, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- Honeywell Aerospace is a global provider of integrated avionics, engines, systems and services for aircraft manufacturers, airlines, business and general aviation, military, space and airport operations.
- The Honeywell Commercial Aviation business unit creates products for large commercial and regional aircraft such as auxiliary power units (APUs), aircraft environmental control systems, electric power systems, engine system accessories, flight data and cockpit voice recorders, air traffic management, radar, navigation and communications systems, aircraft lighting, wheels and brakes
- Products in Honeywell Scanning & Mobility (HSM) include mobile computers and bar code scanners, radio frequency identification products such as readers and antennas, voice-enabled workflow and printers.
- Honeywell Process Solutions offers automation controls to customers internationally.
- Better. Still reads like the company brochure but not quite so many buzzwords. . . Mean as custard (talk) 09:57, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
Lead section updates
The lead section of the article needs some updates based on organizational changes at Honeywell International. The revisions are below. I included the references. I proposed changes in that section in edit request format. Here is my suggested lead section in my sandbox.Chefmikesf (talk) 21:21, 14 November 2019 (UTC) #1 Current Content: Honeywell International Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate company that produces commercial and consumer products, engineering services and aerospace systems. Proposed Content: Honeywell International Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate company that offers industrial products, software, engineering services. [1]
Cite error: The Reason: updating this sentence to clarify what Honeywell does and remove descriptors that no longer represent what the company produces. #2 Current Content: The company operates four business units, known as Strategic Business Units – Honeywell Aerospace, Home and Building Technologies (HBT), Safety and Productivity Solutions (SPS), and Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies. Proposed Content: The company operates four business units–Honeywell Aerospace, Honeywell Building Technologies, Safety and Productivity Solutions (SPS), and Performance Materials and Technologies (PMT).[1] Reason: Honeywell International's 2018 10-K reflects new names for the business units. Honeywell no longer publicly uses "Strategic Business Units" in company information. References: page 55 of the 2018 10-K[1] #3 Request: update global workforce to “110,000” and “44,000” are employed in the United States. Current Content: Honeywell has a global workforce of approximately 130,000, of whom approximately 58,000 are employed in the United States. Proposed Content: Honeywell has a global workforce of approximately 110,000, of whom approximately 44,000 are employed in the United States.[1] Reason: updating out of date information References: page 4 of the 2018 10-K[1] #4 Current Content: Honeywell has many brands that commercial and retail consumers may recognize, including its line of home thermostats (particularly the iconic round type) and Garrett turbochargers. In addition to consumer home products, Honeywell produces thermostats, sensors, security alarm systems, and air cleaners and dehumidifiers. The company also licenses its brand name for use in various retail products made by other manufacturers, including air conditioners, heaters, fans, security safes, home generators, and paper shredders. Proposed Content: In 2018, Honeywell spun off its turbocharger business as Garrett turbochargers Cite error: The

Does anyone have time to review these updates? I appreciate any feedback or assistance.--Chefmikesf (talk) 17:13, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Honeywell Article Updates
Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of Honeywell, a client of mine. I'd like to request some updates to this article. Some of the edits below are drafted up in my sandbox, here.
The article needs some updates based on organizational changes at Honeywell International, and suggestions from editors over the past year. My edits should address and improve the article compliant to WP: COI, WP:NPOV, and WP:LEAD. I included the references in the Ref-talk box.
I see on the current article:
- Factual errors about the Honeywell International
- Promotional content based on comments from editors on the current talk page and the archives pages.
- For transparency, I used strike-through on the promotional content in my proposed content sections that should be removed.
Feel free to ping me for any clarifications. Thanks! --Chefmikesf (talk) 18:23, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
