@Lordtobi: According to your COI disclosure, the work you performed on this page as a COI editor occurred within a very brief window of time (e.g., "Between February and May 2018, I worked on three paid articles."). Please indicate whether or not you received compensation for the edits you made to this article after May 2018 — eleven in total. I would have asked you on your talk page, but messages placed there by others do not appear to stay there for very long. Please advise. Thank you!  Spintendo  22:22, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Spintendo, the two articles that have been published saw me receiving one-time payments for their respective publications. I was never compensated for the third article, as it was never published. I am not in any way involved with either company, so all edits made after the articles' publications are entirely voluntary and part of my routine Wikipedia work. This means that I am not compensated for any of the edits, nor would I have any other gain except for a cleaner version of an encyclopedia article I worked on. That is to say that I no longer have a COI with either article, but used to for the sake of creating them. Is there a way to properly tag a "former COI"?

Proposed Additions

[edit]

Information to be added:

The fields are in the box to the right of the article:

Type: Private

Industry:

         Ticket exchange
         Ticket resale

Founded: 2012

Founders: Brad Griffith

Headquarters: San Francisco, California, United States

Area Served: United States; Canada

Explanation of issue: I am a current full-time employee at Gametime, but did not want to edit the page on my own. The requested additions are to help give more information to users (that same information is available for other ticket marketplaces on their Wikipedia pages; see StubHub).

References supporting change: The information above can be found throughout the 61 current references for this article, but I'm happy to point to the specific resources if that's helpful!

  1. ^ The only information that need be referenced for the infobox would be the date the company was founded and the founders name.

  Unable to implement  

  • Thank you for providing the references, it is much appreciated.
  • Unfortunately, the requested parameters cannot be added to the article's infobox because the variant used for this article is {{infobox software}}, whereas the parameters in the proposal such as the |headquarters= and |area_served= parameters, are native to the {{infobox company}} template.
  • The infobox company template supports the embedding of other templates into its structure — however — as far as I can tell, the same cannot be said of the software infobox.[a] It would seem, then, that the providing of references was a fruitless task for which I apologize.

Notes

  1. ^ The infobox itself would have to be reformulated — which can be done using any number of implementation techniques that, according to the documentation, would require consensus beyond a simple edit request.[1]

References

I'm failing to see the point to have an infobox describing a company, while the rest of the article is about the app it develops. Such a change has been implemented seemingly without consensus. IceWelder [] 12:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
