Clean-up
This article is obviously in need of a major clean-up. I took the first step today by fixing some minor problems, and marking some of the problem areas. / Gavleson (talk) 22:38, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Big problems here
Hi all. I'm sure that at least one person has seen the tags I have slapped at the top of the article and is not happy so please let me explain what the problems are:


 * 1) The article is written far too much from an insider's point of view. I recognise the tone of it as the way a company pitches itself internally to its own employees. Most large companies have an internal monologue that sounds like this. Trouble is that this is not for external consumption. It is not telling our readers (who are mostly not insiders) what they want to know. Some if it just sounds plain stupid. I have removed some of the worst of it but enough remains to be a problem. The two main tone problems are "peacock" terms, which are meaningless words used to sound impressive, and "management jargon" terms, which are basically the sort of nonsense words that the Pointy-haired Boss from Dilbert uses.
 * 2) The article is referenced far too much from an insider's point of view. It seems that they put some internal information on their website that some other companies would keep internal on their intranets. That's fine, but it doesn't means that we need to include that stuff in the article or use the internal references.

So, how can we clean this up? Let me give you an example based on something I already removed:

There was a dreadful section on "internal awards". It was referenced to an internal source. Of course, there won't be any valid external references because (whisper it) nobody gives a tuppenny damn about other companies internal awards! There is no outsiders view of this because it is a purely internal matter. This could, and should, have been avoided by trying to find an external reference, failing to find one, realising that this means that the section was not appropriate for Wikipedia and then not adding it.

I believe that is the way forward: Get everything referenced to independent, reliable sources and let them guide both the content and the tone of our coverage, (without plagiarising them). --DanielRigal (talk) 12:51, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

New Group identity and other things
Hello all,

This page seems a bit outdated. Here are some suggestions:

- The biggest one is that Atlas Copco Group has a new identity which is separate from the Atlas Copco brand and serves as umbrella for all brands in the Group. Looking at other companies like Volkswagen Group/Volkswagen brand or Alphabet/Google - I think the best way is to set up a new page. One should be the corporate, and the other should be about the brand itself. Here is a link to press-release https://www.atlascopcogroup.com/en/media/corporate-press-releases/2023/20231113-new-group-identity I don't really know how to approach this in a good way, but it seems having two pages one for Group, one for brand is the way to go.

- I did this changes in the past but someone updated it again. Names of Business Areas now show as [Name] Technology, when the actual names end with Technique.

- The financial results are outdated for 2 years. Last one showing are from 2020. The latest report is here https://www.atlascopcogroup.com/content/dam/atlas-copco/group/documents/investors/financial-publications/english/20230322-annual-report-incl-sustainability-report-and-corporate-governance-report-2022.pdf

- The current photos of products shown are from old mining equipment (which is now Epiroc) so it's not relevant. Lemoncubes (talk) 11:46, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
