Taylor (Firm)
Would someone from WP:WPCY mind taking a look at Taylor (Firm) and assessing it? It was just created and already has had most of its content WP:REVDELeted as a copyright violation. There might be some COI/Paid editing involved since the two accounts primarily editing it are also brand new WP:SPAs. Not sure if it meets WP:ORG since one of the sources seems to be some kind of Harvard Law School student project and the others might be problematic per WP:CORPDEPTH. -- Marchjuly (talk)

Suggested new content
Hello,
I have a conflict of interest so will not edit the page directly but wanted to point the editor of this page to some recent updates from the company in order to keep the page recent and correct.
Please see below a recent article from the FT covering the companies return to profit and turnaround since the restructuring:
https://www.ft.com/content/c9e18fe8-5c0e-11e8-ad91-e01af256df68
This is also reflected on the companies own website where they have published the results.
In addition, the company has also appointed a new chairman, while its CEO is Steve Graf and not Julian Verden as the page states:
Thanks!

Request at Ogilvy & Mather
Hello, WikiProject Companies editors might be interested in updates I proposed for the infobox at Ogilvy & Mather. Within the infobox, I'm looking to update the CEO's title, remove two people, and update the company's subsidiaries following its recent restructuring. All of this is explained in my request on the article's Talk page. As disclosed on the Ogilvy Talk page, I have a financial conflict of interest, as I'm offering these updates on behalf of Ogilvy as part of my work with Beutler Ink, so I'm looking for other editors to review. Thank you in advance, Danilo Two (talk) 19:56, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
List of store locations SM_Supermalls#Current_malls
Hi i was wondering what to do about this article as it seems to violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY
7 "Simple listings without context information. Examples include, but are not limited to: listings of business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, store locations, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions. Information about relevant single entries with encyclopedic information should be added as sourced prose. Lists of creative works in a wider context are permitted." (my bolding).
Most of the entries in the remarks column contain things like "First SM Mall in Northern Luzon with no air-conditioning system." or "Second SM Mall in Visayas". I suppose this is to try and show there is context. Does anyone have an opinion on whether this should be left as is? Dom from Paris (talk) 14:48, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
- I don't see it as a problem when most of the list entries have their own articles or are otherwise likely to be notable. The wikilink to the article is the context. I would trim some of the details in the list though - a lot of the "Remarks" seem trivial, and the "Land area" doesn't seem particularly noteworthy to me. Toohool (talk) 20:51, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
The Jewelry Exchange
Hello! I was wondering if WikiProject Companies would mind taking a look at my page and assessing it. I have multiple issues that need to be resolved, but I don't know how to have them resolved.
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page: This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions.

Content Update for Alder Biopharmaceuticals page
Hello,
I have a conflict of interest so will not edit the page directly but wanted to share with the editor of this page a recent company update regarding a new CEO to keep the page recent and updated.
Robert W. Azelby has succeeded Randy Schatzman as Alder Biopharmaceutical's new CEO and President. This was announced by a company press release issued on June 7, 2018.
Alder BioPharmaceuticals® Names Robert W. Azelby President and Chief Executive Officer
I believe the Wikipedia page still notes Randy Schatzman as the CEO so thought this may be a relevant update. Would an editor be able to help update this?
Thanks! SGTGRN (talk) 18:40, 3 October 2018 (UTC)<https://investor.alderbio.com/news-releases/news-release-details/alder-biopharmaceuticalsr-names-robert-w-azelby-president-and>
Honey
I recently added a Requested Article for Honey Coupons[1]. Because I work for the company, there is an obvious conflict of interest. However, I do believe it's notable with reliable, independent, third party sources. Would an editor be able to write a new article for the company or provide any feedback?

Company "alumni"
Hello, sorry to bother again about this aspect, but it would be great if editors interested in company articles could chime in at Talk:McKinsey & Company and/or Talk:Bain & Company about the "alumni" lists in these articles. These lists were unsourced, didn't have clear inclusion criteria and primarily served as PR tool to polish the company's prestige (unfortunately there is a significant amount of undisclosed COI-editing in consultancy-related articles). I'd argue, that this kind of listcruft violates list guidelines and probably WP:NOTDIRECTORY. To be clear: noteworthy alumni with a significant connection to the company (based on independent sources) could of course be added as prose anytime. Any feedback on the article talkpages to clarify/form a consensus would be appreciated. On the other hand, a broader discussion and clear guidance about company alumni in general might also be useful, independent from these 2 specific cases - just a thought.

Featured quality source review RFC
Editors in this WikiProject may be interested in the featured quality source review RFC that has been ongoing. It would change the featured article candidate process (FAC) so that source reviews would need to occur prior to any other reviews for FAC. Your comments are appreciated. --IznoRepeat (talk) 21:47, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
Could someone from this WikiProject assess this for notability per WP:NCORP? The only citation provided is to the company's own website, but that does nothing per WP:CORPDEPTH. The article's been around for a bit, but never seems to have gotten properly assessed because (1) it wasn't submitted to AfC and (2) nobody bothered to create a talk page for it and add WikiProject banners for it until I just did. There are a few stand-alone articles about some of the companies products; so, maybe the sources used in them can also be added to the main company article. I was considering WP:PROD, but figured I'd ask here first. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:50, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- Marchjuly, this one is difficult as while there are not many references in English, there seems to be a lot in non-English sources. Would suggest to tag someone on a project that is familiar with the other languages so they can determine if those references are WP:RS and meet WP:SIGCOV. --CNMall41 (talk) 05:09, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks CNMall41 for the feedback. I did also post something at WT:CHINA#FiiO Electronics Technology; so, perhaps someone from that WikiProject will being to provide some help with the sourcing. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:18, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Draft article for FXCM
On behalf of FXCM, I have created an updated draft of the current Wikipedia article for review. The draft is located in my sandbox. The draft clarifies previous and current ownership issues and neutral point of view concerns (such as the first sentence of the article overall). It also uses better and more recent references. If someone is able to assist in the process I would appreciate it. --Formilds (talk) 23:32, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- Formilds, I suggest that you reach out directly to @Spintendo: on their talk page. I pinged them so you may get a response here, but I would still reach out on their talk page. It looks like they are the one involved with most of the recent discussion. Give it some time for a response. --CNMall41 (talk) 05:14, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you. I did receive a response from another editor who says they will look at this next week. I appreciate your response. --Formilds (talk) 02:33, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
- The last message left for me by Formilds on my talk page failed to indicate any issues or problems on their end:
What was actually left unresolved with this request were the issues that I raised in my review which I saw as problematic, namely:I know that it is a burden to go through my edits requests. I am sorry and wish I knew an easier way for both of us. I also understand there are issues with the company that must be documented to have a neutral article. I am just tasked with making sure everything is done correctly and isn't promotional for the company or written in a way that makes the company seem like the devil. Thanks for your help with these. Hopefully we can get through them all.
— User:Formilds 8:14 pm, 15 October 2018, Monday (1 month, 5 days ago) (UTC−7)- In a request which is asking for text to be moved, the failure of the COI editor to identify which references are to be moved along with the text
- The failure to explain why it is—according to the COI editor—unnecessary for the lead section to summarize information found in the body of text. Having the lead section summarize text is a generally widespread practice which requires more than "it's not necessary" as the reason to remove it (i.e., "the structure of the company is explained in the body of the article so not necessary to have all of the previous company names in the first paragraph."
- Unclear directions (i.e., "The current second paragraph would be eliminated based on the moves and changes above." and "The current second sentence of the third paragraph remains from a move above.")
- Unfortunately, instead of addressing these concerns, the COI editor has chosen to
WP:FORUMSHOPfind other avenues of review.[a] As far as I am concerned they are more than welcome to do so, and I truly hope that those issues might be resolved better with whomever agrees to assist them. Regards, Spintendo 01:12, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Notes
- ^ I don't mean forum shopping as an intentional act to subvert the process, only that what appears to be forum shopping is merely the COI editor attempting to find a better avenue of communication. For whatever reason, we weren't able to communicate as efficiently as either of us had hoped, and all the COI editor wants now I believe is to find an editor with whom they communicate better, and I wish them the best in that endeavour.
Does the Johnson & Johnson credo merit its own article?
I was looking over the article on Johnson & Johnson and noticed the section on the company's credo is rather lacking. I started conducting some additional research to see if there was anything that could give it more context, and in doing so started to wonder if it met notability guidelines for its own article. From what I can tell, there's enough coverage to suggest that it is, but I haven't seen any articles dedicated to a company's credo (or motto, or slogan). My initial thought was that it would be overly promotional, but after realizing how much it's been talked about in the media, adding more context to the existing article might make it unwieldy. Can anyone weigh in? I can see the rationale for it going either way.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 21:06, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- Personally, I would not think this warranted ... but there are stranger things here that have survived challenge, and I would not go out of my way to propose it for deletion just because. There is nothing wrong with composing an article on pretty much anything that can pass notability measures, which is one of the beauties of the platform. Go for it. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:43, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
- I wouldn't think that it would be substantive enough to warrant its own page, even if it received enough coverage to meet notability guidelines. My opinion is that the section within the J&J article can be cleaned up to incorporate the information. Just MHO. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:57, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
- Just my two cents: depending on the amount of content you plan to add, it might be fine in the current section. If you plan to add a lot more on the subject, then a new article would probably be better. — AfroThundr (u · t · c) 19:08, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
Business Services Company
What is this (for Wikipedia)? Is there a description or definition anywhere within Wikipedia? Asking because WP has a specific category assigned to businesses ("companies") of this type. Eddaido (talk) 20:51, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
- Eddaido, if you are referring to the specific category "business services company", I think it should actually be a subpage of the category "Companies by industry" instead of a standalone category. I am not sure how to do category moves though. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:48, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- I am referring specifically to the specific category "Business Services Company" but I just want to know exactly what a Business Services Company is, in WP. (Of course I think I know but a disagreement has arisen which I hope to clarify). I thought this talkpage would be the place to go to find out the WP definition. Have I come to the wrong place? Thanks CNMall41 for your response. Eddaido (talk) 23:34, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
