1. What I think should be changed:

Please replace the first sentence in the Lead paragraph, which reads: ESAB, Elektriska Svetsnings-Aktiebolaget (Electric Welding Limited company), is an American-Swedish industrial company.

Suggested Replacement:

ESAB, Elektriska Svetsnings-Aktiebolaget (Electric Welding Limited company), is an American-Swedish industrial technology company that is publicly traded on the NYSE.

Why it should be changed: The existing sentence lacks reliable sources and is factually inaccurate. I’ve specified it’s an industrial technology company since it creates the technology that others use for industrial purposes.

2. What I think should be changed:

Please remove the second paragraph in the Lead section:

The ultimate parent company of ESAB is ESAB Corporation, a New York Stock Exchange listed (Ticker: ESAB) with its principal executive office in North Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.

Why it should be changed:

The sentence is now redundant once the first suggested change above is put into place. The location of the headquarters is already in the infobox so repeating it in the lead is redundant.

3. What I think should be changed:

Please replace the third sentence in the Lead section:

ESAB creates fabrication technology, including for welding, cutting, gas control, PPE, software, and robotic equipment and a separate gas control portfolio focused on healthcare, industrial, and specialty gas control solutions.

Suggested Replacement:

The company manufactures welding, cutting, and gas control equipment for industries including transportation, shipbuilding, and aerospace.

Why it should be changed:

The existing sentence is based on a single, unreliable source (a press release). The replacement I’ve suggested summarizes the company using reliable sources.

4. What I think should be changed:

In the History section, please add a sentence to become the second sentence of the ninth paragraph. The current sentence immediately preceding the proposed new sentence is:

In January 2024 ESAB was added to Ukraine's list of International Sponsors of War for continuing to operate and expand business in Russia.

The proposed sentence to follow it is:

The list was retracted by Ukraine in March 2024.

Why it should be changed:

Since the list was discontinued, there are not going to be status updates to address this serious accusation. Short of removing the original sentence, there’s no other way to update the status but to document the end of the list itself.

Thank you for taking the time to help with these updates.Wiki-Free-Pie (talk) 18:09, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
