Exova

[edit]

Hi - I have noticed that you have added material to the article on Exova that is not independently sourced contrary to WP:SOURCE, contains a series of external links contrary to WP:ELNO and which seems to be advertising products contrary to WP:ADVERT. It is a bit unusual to see so many wiki guidelines breached simultaneously. Please can you explain your thinking? Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 22:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm sorry but can you please explain where this entry is breaching guidelines? The existing information which I've now replaced is inaccurate and ill-informed. The information I have provided is factually accurate and is verified by a number of articles linked to in the entry and is also verified by legal documentation on the company's website, here:

http://www.exova.com/investors/results-and-reports/

It is a legal requirement for this documentation to be factually accurate, so it's actually the best independent source you can possibly get. It's not information subjectively created by the company; it's information that UK law requires the company to give to the public with total transparency. Or else the company wouldn't be allowed to exist.

The entry lists services that the company provides in a variety of industry sectors. These are simply facts and I'm not sure how they can be construed as advertising when it is verified by independent summaries as given in a variety of media outlets, such as this one here (see bottom of article):

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/business/business-news/exova-group-acquires-oldham-based-environmental-5131580

I tried including this article in the text I added to the entry but Wikipedia wouldn't allow it because the name was too long, and I've no idea what that means.

I have linked to online services provided by the company under various brands. Such links are offering a fulness of information which, I hope, is useful to web visitors in giving full insight into the company's activities.

As I say, the previous entry was inaccurate and insufficient and therefore misleading. I'd be grateful if you could leave the entry as it is now, in view of the documentation cited above. But please do let me know if there's anything more I can do to ensure it stays there.

Many thanks,

A. L. Simoni

Hi – Thanks for your reply. The problem lies only with the last two paragraphs together with the last sentence of the previous paragraph. I will deal with each of the breaches of guidelines in turn.
  • WP:SOURCE. The guideline requires that the information be taken from and referenced (with in-line citations) to “reliable, third party, published sources”. A company website could not be construed as third party for the purposes of a Wikipedia article about Exova
  • WP:ADVERT. The guideline requires that Wikipedia should not be used for “advertising, marketing or public relations”. It seems to me that the statement “Exova operates a number of brands, recognised as leaders in their specialist field…” is both advertising (in respect of the brands mentioned) and marketing (unless you can demonstrate that for each brand an independent authority has officially recognised that brand as the leader in its field)
  • WP:ELNO. The guideline requires that “lists of links to manufacturers, suppliers or customers” be avoided. In this case these links are to suppliers and are therefore not allowed.

In general it is a good idea to read the guidelines before editing Wikipedia so you do not fall into these pitfalls.

I hope this helps and that we can now clean up the article. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 21:23, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dormskirk,

Many thanks for your feedback. Let me see if I can edit the text in question so it complies with the guidelines as you require. I'd very much appreciate your feedback on any further edits required after I make this one.

Best wishes,

A. L. Simonoi

Hi - Your drafting is fine. I have tweaked the article to remove the external links (per WP:ELNO) and to include in-line citations (per WP:SOURCE). Hope you like it. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 22:43, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dormskirk - Yes, that's great. I think it works very well like that. Many thanks for your help in putting it together. - A. L. Simoni

Information icon Hi Anna Laura Simoni! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Your changes are clearly not minor. Please don't use the minor edit tick box if you don't know what is major and what is minor. Doug Weller talk 15:08, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
