GoToGate and Etraveli Group
[edit] | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello editors! My name is Sayna, I am an employee of Etraveli Group which (as this article states) is the parent company of GoToGate. Etraveli Group does not have its own Wikipedia page but it seems that much of the information about it has been placed in this article instead. As a result, this article is not very well focused.
I have two proposals to make and I would love editors' input on next steps. I would like to suggest that this article be moved to Etraveli Group, rather than have two articles floating around, with GoToGate getting a section in the moved article. Additionally, I have a draft of the content for what an Etraveli Group article could look like. I have a draft in my user space.
What's the best way to proceed first: propose an update to this existing article based on my draft, or formally seek a move? Thank you for the assistance, Sayna At Etraveli (talk) 09:01, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Sayna At Etraveli, I think it makes sense to do two things here:
- 1. Submit a move request to change the name
- 2. Submit a new Edit Request afterwards that incorporates your new draft content
- Let me know if you need any help. Feel free to tag me. --FeldBum (talk) 23:27, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Done I'm marking this as done, as the page was moved. — BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 12:59, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
Requested move 2 October 2024
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:03, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
GoToGate → Etraveli Group – GoToGate is a part of Etraveli Group and this article has been used to house information about Etraveli Group, to the point that this article now has two info boxes. Per the suggestion from FeldBum, I would like to make this move request and later propose a draft to re-shift the focus to Etraveli Group, which has more and better information about it in reliable sourcing, including in Reuters, Financial Times and Bloomberg. Sayna At Etraveli (talk) 09:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support as this article is primarily about the Etraveli Group and not just GoToGate. -- FeldBum (talk) 13:07, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Refocusing this article
[edit] | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. |
Hello editors! I am glad to see the move request was implemented. As previously mentioned, I have a draft in my user space I would like editors to consider. This draft shifts the focus onto the parent company Etraveli Group without removing well sourced information about GoToGate. It additionally fills in some gaps in information. Please let me know what editors think (FeldBum perhaps this interests you as well?) Thanks! Sayna At Etraveli (talk) 08:07, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll take a look. It might be easier to make line-by-line requests, but let me check your draft first. --FeldBum (talk) 13:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- There's some good stuff here, but you also remove some things on the page that would need to stay and there are lines that would not be considered NPOV. I think line-by-line requests would be the best approach here @Sayna At Etraveli. I'm happy to answer the request when you post it (and feel free to tag me). --FeldBum (talk) 14:28, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- FeldBum Thanks for the review and suggestion, I will go that route! Feel free to close out this request, I am going to post a new one. Sayna At Etraveli (talk) 07:04, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Reorganizing Gotogate information
[edit] | The user below has a request that an edit be made to Etraveli Group. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is low. There are currently 89 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
Hello editors! Per the helpful advice from FeldBum, I am going to make a few edit requests line-by-line for those without a conflict of interest to review. For anyone who would like to see the whole draft, it is in my user space. For this first request, I would like to suggest moving the Gotogate information into its own subsection within a "Subsidiaries" section. This would include the following:
- Remove a sentence in the current History section: GoToGate is listed by Etraveli as the brand which gave the Scandinavian holding company international marketshare. The site is described as especially successful in the United Kingdom and France, and in 2015, Etraveli Group expanded GoToGate to Singapore, Australia, Japan, and 12 other new markets. Etraveli Group lists GoToGate as its most successful brand and foresees it remaining the most successful subsidiary of Etraveli Group.
- Make a Subsidiaries section with a "GoToGate" subsection (I have more proposals later for what else could be in this section)
- In that subsection add: Gotogate is an online travel agency and seller of air travel based in Uppsala, Sweden,[a] and one of the most prominent trade names of the Swedish travel corporation Etraveli Group AB.[1][2][3] Gotogate claims it serves 30 million customers a year across 77 countries and fills 140 Boeing 737 planes every day.[4] Gotogate was used for a time as the flight provider for Booking.com for various European countries.[5]
- In that subsection add: Gotogate is listed by Etraveli Group as the brand which gave the Scandinavian holding company international marketshare. The site is described as especially successful in the United Kingdom and France, and in 2015, Etraveli Group expanded Gotogate to Singapore, Australia, Japan, and 12 other new markets. Etraveli Group lists Gotogate as its most successful brand and foresees it remaining the most successful subsidiary of Etraveli Group.[6]
- In that subsection add: Under Etraveli Group, Gotogate also operates MyTrip.com, whose US division lists Gotogate as its owner.[7]
- In that subsection add: Gotogate has been subject to frequent controversy and criticism, often targeting its poor customer service despite boasting "unbeatable low prices". The agency has a Better Business Bureau grade of "F" and hovers around a 1-star rating with reviewers frequently calling the website a scam.[8][9]
