I don't have the time or interest to follow up on this, but it seems to me that this edit and similar earlier edits suppress valuable information on the history of this business. If that history pertains only to one branch of some entity that is now part of a "group", it is still valuable and deserves to be mentioned. I'd like to have input from someone else as to what's appropriate here. Lupo 09:54, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, but for a different reason: the good-faith edits by a less experienced editor removed sourced material and replaced it with unsourced material. A synthesis of the two pieces of information is possible, but only if both pieces of information are backed by sources. I would revert the edit in question and try again contact the editor via his/her talk page to encourage him/her to add sourced material, but also restore the material that was deleted by their good faith edit.

I'd go further and say the new edit has made the article inaccurate. By airbrushing the history before the acquisition it gives a false impression of the true development of the company. QuiteUnusual TalkQu 18:48, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I picked up this article while reviewing the RFC board, and found this older RFC need. I have reviewed the diffs and it does look like substantial information has been removed, however a direct revert does not seem appropriate. I have reached out to the editor who did the majority of the editing, via e-mail, so see what his position is since it doesn't appear that he is contributing on the talk page. It also seems apparent that their is a COI issue here as well. I will report back what is discovered through working with the BOLD editor, and hopefully we can resolve this RFC.
