 Not done. This is basically the same request as above, using unsubstantiated puffery such as "exceptional" and "wide spectrum" — not written in a neutral fashion as required. Repeating the word "global" is redundant when listing the customer country locations. The stock ticker symbol is already in the infobox. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:35, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

@Kate Urbach: It's perfectly OK for you to make minor corrections yourself to numbers, dates, names, spelling errors, and obvious vandalism. It's also OK to add references to sources. We prefer secondary sources (not written by the company) but for company financial data your references are fine. Feel free to make this change to the infobox. If a reference is duplicated you can used named references to consolidate them, like this:

 | operating_income     = [[USD]] 215.00; million (2016)<ref name="annual">http://ir.wexinc.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=186699&p=irol-reportsannual</ref>
 | net_income           = [[USD]] 60.64; million (2016)<ref name="annual" />

That way the citation isn't repeated twice in the citation list. Notice the second citation uses the same name but ends with "/>" instead of "</ref>".

For any substantive change to the content of the article, you should propose it here. There are some points for you to remember:

• You don't have to put the paid editing tag in every proposal. I have moved it to the top of this page.
• It's a good idea to preface your proposal with the tag {{request edit}}. This will cause your request to be listed on a page that is monitored by other editors.
• Please don't delete anyone's comments on talk pages, unless it's your own user talk page. Once a conversation has started, it should stay where it is.

Hope that helps. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:53, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Please add a link from the phrase "fleet card" to the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_card because I didn't know what a "fleet card" was. Ocarlsen (talk) 15:36, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

remove "Wright Express grew over the next several decades" - this makes no sense, timeline goes 1996 to 2004 this is not several decades Jobbyliquor (talk) 14:59, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
