Removal of litigation section?

I disagree with Snakepliskin13's comments that this doesn't seem to be standard on Wikipedia. Here are a few I could find (there are probably more):

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.#Litigation
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniloc
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia#Nokia.E2.80.93Apple_patent_dispute
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Corporation#Lawsuit_against_Google

Maybe there is a conflict of interest here, given that Snakepliskin13 is an employee of The MathWorks, in that (s)he doesn't want to paint a bad picture of his/her employer? This article on Wikipediocracy discuss this conflict of interest, and others related, in more depth.

COI edit requests

Hi, I work for a communications firm that represents MathWorks. I'd like to suggest some updates to this article:

• Lead:
  • Update over 3,600 people worldwide with 70% to over 3,600 people in 16 countries, with 70%

Not done, as this is not in the citation given. The corporate webpage you indicate does not give the total number of your client's employees. Altamel (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

The source was just for the 16 countries, but you're right that the 3,600 was unsourced. This is a source for 3,500: Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

• • Add to end of lead to reflect expanded Products section below: Mathworks' primary products, MATLAB and Simulink, support data analysis and simulation in sectors including aerospace and automotive.

 Partly done Altamel (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

• Expand Products section:

MATLAB is a programming environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization, and numeric computation. Simulink is a graphical environment for simulation and Model-Based Design of multidomain dynamic and embedded systems. MATLAB and Simulink are used in aerospace, automotive, software and other fields.

The company produces nearly 100 additional products, including Polyspace, SimEvents, Stateflow and Simulink Real-Time (formerly xPC Target).

This wording is rather similar to your client's "About us" page, and I would rather not mimic it. To stay on the safe side, can you rephrase? Altamel (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Sure—how does this look?

MATLAB provides an environment for programmers to analyze and visualize data and develop algorithms. Simulink is a graphical and simulation environment for Model-Based Design of dynamic systems. MATLAB and Simulink are used in aerospace, automotive, software and other fields.

The company also produces nearly 100 other products, including Polyspace, SimEvents, Stateflow and Simulink Real-Time (formerly xPC Target).

Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

• Add subsections to "Corporate affairs" section:

• ===Workplace===

MathWorks appeared on Glassdoor’s list of Best Places to Work in 2014, 2015 and 2017. Forbes has also named the company one of America’s best midsize employers. In 2016, employees ranked CEO Jack Little as the 15th highest-rated CEO of a large company on Glassdoor.

Glassdoor rankings are user generated. As such, they are vulnerable to sampling bias and a whole host of other problems; other editors I know are also doubtful about Glassdoor, see Talk:Bill McDermott for their reasoning. I am skeptical of the Forbes rating for this reason: what does it mean to Forbes for a company to be a good employer? There's no methodology given in the article you cited at all. It doesn't seem right to present this ranking to our readers without the necessary context. Altamel (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Understood. That's very helpful, and I'll keep it in mind in the future. Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

• ===Community===

MathWorks hosts MATLAB Central, an online exchange where users ask and answer questions and share code. MATLAB Central currently houses more than 145,000 questions in its MATLAB Answers database.

 Done, this paragraph is well written and says exactly what the database does. Altamel (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

• "Social responsibility" section:

• Add source for EcoCAR sentence:

 Done Altamel (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

• Update MathWorks sponsors museums and science learning centers such as the Boston Museum of Science (since 1991) and the Cambridge Science Center in the United Kingdom. to MathWorks sponsors museums and science learning centers such as the Boston Museum of Science (since 1991), the Cambridge Science Center in the United Kingdom, and London's Science Museum.

 Done Altamel (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

• Add: The company has partnerships with numerous academic institutions, including MIT Open Courseware and MITx, to advance STEM education. It also supports i2 Learning’s Boston STEM Week.

Just stating that MathWorks partners with or supports an institution is rather vague. I would be more concrete about the extent of MathWork's involvement, but not so excessively detailed as to make too much of the article about MathWork's outreach. Altamel (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Got it. Revised: The company supports numerous academic institutions to advance STEM education, including providing millions in funding to MIT Open Courseware and MITx. It also hosts and sponsors i2 Learning’s Boston STEM Week. Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Due to my COI, I won't be editing the article directly, and I'd appreciate any help or feedback. Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:52, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi MaryGaulke. Thanks for your suggestions. I have posted some and declined the ones I felt either needed revisions or would not strengthen the article. Altamel (talk) 03:11, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback, Altamel. I've replied and included some additional information inline above. Appreciate your time! Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

@Jytdog: Hi! I saw you added a few cn tags to the article, so I took a stab at digging up sources: for the founding (although it only mentions California, not Portola Valley specifically), for MuPAD replacing Maple, and for the Steepest Ascent acquisition. Hopefully we can keep moving things forward. Thank you for your time. Mary Gaulke (talk) 02:14, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Partially implemented Request No. 1 was approved. Requests No. 2 and No. 3 were declined. The instructions accompanying Request No. 4 are unreadable (i.e., "For the founding for MuPAD replacing Maple for the Steepest Ascent acquisition." Kindly delineate in complete sentences what is to be either removed, replaced or added to the article.

For example:

• Request No.1: For CITATION NEEDED inline tag No. 2, located after the sentence "She went to the store", please add the following citation ____.
• Request No.2: For CITATION NEEDED inline tag No. 3, located after the sentence "She then ate dinner", please add the following citation ____.

Please advise.  Spintendo  ᔦᔭ  10:48, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

@Spintendo: I don't see where requests 2 and 3 were explicitly declined. To me they just appear as if they were not acted upon. Do you have objections to either of them? I would reword request 3 but I don't see any other issues.

@MaryGaulke: I would reword the "Social Responsibility" request to something more neutral: The company supports numerous academic institutions to advance STEM education, including funding to MIT Open Courseware and MITx.

 Implemented Spintendo ᔦᔭ 21:08, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

@Spintendo: Hi! I apologize, but I've just realized one other item is still outstanding from my previous request: adding a Products section per the below:

==Products==

MATLAB provides an environment for programmers to analyze and visualize data and develop algorithms. Simulink is a graphical and simulation environment for Model-Based Design of dynamic systems. MATLAB and Simulink are used in aerospace, automotive, software and other fields.

The company also produces nearly 100 other products, including Polyspace, SimEvents, Stateflow and Simulink Real-Time (formerly xPC Target).

This would be to replace a previous, very basic Products section that was deleted from the article. Would you be up for taking a look at this?

Also, with the "Social responsibility" section shortened to one sentence, wondering if we should combine it with the "Sponsorships" section to make a new "Sponsorships and social responsibility" section. What do you think?

Thanks again. Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:37, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

 Implemented The products section has been added. In pursuit of an economy of terms, and since they may be used interchangeably, the Social responsibility heading along with the Sponsorships heading have both been deleted and their contents merged with the contents of the Community section. All 3 sections are subsumed under the heading of Community. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 07:28, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

COI edit requests

Hi, I work for a communications firm that represents MathWorks. I haven't been involved in this article in a while, but today I'm hoping to add some references to the second paragraph of the History section, which is under-sourced. I've drafted a new version of the paragraph below, with changes highlighted/struck through. The 1997 Boston Globe article originally cited isn't available anywhere online anymore (including through archives and subscription services), so I had to modify the text slightly to reflect what I could find in other sources.

Little and Steve Bangert rewrote the code for MATLAB while they were colleagues at an engineering firm, and eventually were fired for spending too much time on it in C. They founded MathWorks along with Moler in 1984, with Little running it out of his house in Portola Valley, California. Little would mail diskettes in baggies (food storage bags) to the first customers. The company sold its first order, 10 copies of MATLAB, for $500 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in February 1985. As business picked up, A few years later, Little and the company moved to Massachusetts, and Little hired Jeanne O'Keefe, an experienced computer executive, to help formalize the business. In 1992, Little was named Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year in New England by Ernst & Young. By 1997, MathWorks was profitable, claiming revenue of around $50 million, and had around 380 employees.

Looks good basically but I cannot find "in C" in the Boston Globe article which only says they rewrote it "for PCs". Since C is afaik not the only language for that, how about "rewrote MatLab's original Fortran code for PCs"? Regards SoWhy 10:01, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
