Proposed changes to page

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The request was not specific enough. You may consider leaving your comments on the Talk page or escalating significant issues to the conflict of interest noticeboard.

Information to be added or removed: Hello, I am requesting a neutral third party to review the page as it existed as of September 2020 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Federal_Agricultural_Mortgage_Corporation&oldid=976842458) and to re-implement as many changes as are deemed appropriate to wikipedia standards by the editor. (Please let me know if a plaintext version of the suggested edits would be preferred).
Explanation of issue: I believe the current page is not up to Wikipedia's standards: it is largely unsourced and much of the information is either inaccurate or out of date. I am an employee of Farmer Mac, so I would like to request that a neutral third-party editor review the page as of September 2020 (see url above) and implement as many changes as are deemed fair, suggested in good faith, and helping to further wikipedia's mission. From my perspective, I believe the proposed changes are well-sourced, neutral, and include fair coverage of the 2008 financial crisis and does not attempt to remove or bury that existing information. Please note that I am brand new to wikipedia and trying my best to do this correctly; if there is other information I should include to help an unbiased editor to review this request, if I need to more properly disclose conflict of interest, etc., please let me know and I will do what I can to make it right.

Hi @Leifirony: I have flagged your request as declined. I compared the September version to the current version, and see that a lot of promotional material was properly removed. What, specifically, would you like changed? Please resubmit your request in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ". Please also cite reliable sources in line with each change to back up your request. Orville^talk 23:49, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
