Xero article updates

Hello! I work for Xero and am seeking updates to the company article. I'm reaching out to you as you have recently implemented an edit request for the Xero page, and you've indicated an interest in technology. I have made two edit requests on the talk page - I appreciate everyone is busy, however it would be great to get a key part of the page reinstated (the product section) and to remove the warning banners at the top of the page. I'd really appreciate it if you had time to take a look at these requests. I have a conflict of interest, so I do not edit the article myself. JT at Xero (talk) 22:08, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Godiva Chocolatier

Hi PK650,

Thank you for reviewing promptly. I know Wikipedia doesn't usually rely on press releases for sourcing but this is an important distinction -- "GODIVA Chocolatier will retain exclusive brand ownership in all global markets granting a perpetual license to MBK Partners and will continue to own and operate the remaining markets in over 100 countries."

MBK owns retail and distribution in Japan/AUS/NZ/South Korea but not the brand and business itself.

Found a more neutral source if it helps. FT notes that GODIVA retains ownership of the brand, while MBK just owns assets

I am not subscribed to the FT. Would you mind providing the relevant quote? Thank you, PK650 (talk) 03:38, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

"The buyout firm fought off about a dozen interested parties to seal the deal, worth more than $1bn, for Godiva’s retail and distribution operations in Japan, South Korea and Australia. Godiva will retain control of the brand." 160.72.65.104 (talk) 19:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
