Talk:Gigamon

Edit request: Infobox updates
Hello, I'm here to offer some suggested updates to the article, beginning with the infobox. Below I posted a draft infobox in addition to the markup. First, a little housekeeping. I propose these edits on behalf of Gigamon, working with agency Merritt Group through my work at Beutler Ink. I will keep my Wikipedia contributions where I have a financial conflict of interest on Talk pages rather than directly edit entries.

In my proposed infobox, I have included the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 components under Traded as; replaced the external link to the Gigamon website's Products page with a list of four Gigamon products; replaced outdated, historical revenue figures with 2016 revenue; and updated the number of employees.

Please ping me here if you have any questions regarding these suggested edits. Thank you in advance, Danilo Two (talk) 18:10, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Danilo Two, thank you for your suggestions. You did not attach the correct form for citing revenue. The form you linked to was Form 10K/A, which only contained executive compensation. The data were on the unamended form 10K. Altamel (talk) 19:15, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, u|Altamel. When I cited the Form 10-K/A for revenue, I was specifically looking at the 2016 business highlights on the 10-K/A. If you go here, you can scroll down to page number 18, or click the link "Page 20" on the left. But I'm happy to use the Form 10-K as you posted. Would you mind deleting   from the reference formatting as not to confuse readers? Thank you, again! Danilo Two (talk) 16:17, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Edit request: History updates
Hello, I'm here with another request. Below I posted a draft for the History section in addition to the markup. In my proposed History, I added a small amount of detail about Gigamon's IPO and that the company rang the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange in 2016. You will notice the draft does not include the sentence about Gigamon moving from Milpitas, California, to Santa Clara, California. My suggestion is to move that detail to an Operations section draft I'm working on. If reviewing editors think that it should remain in History, that works, too. As I said previously on this Talk page: I propose these edits on behalf of Gigamon, working with agency Merritt Group through my work at Beutler Ink. I will keep my Wikipedia contributions where I have a financial conflict of interest on Talk pages rather than directly edit entries.

Please ping me here if you have any questions regarding these suggested edits. Thank you in advance, Danilo Two (talk) 16:21, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Edit request: Operations
Hello, While my request above awaits response, I figured it worthwhile to post this one as well. That way editors can see how my suggestions will fit together. Following my proposed History, I hope editors will consider implementing this Operations section, which briefly outlines Gigamon's number of employees, offices, governance and executives, and a snapshot of its customer base.

As above: I propose these edits on behalf of Gigamon, working with agency Merritt Group through my work at Beutler Ink.

Please ping me here if you have any questions regarding these suggested edits. Thank you in advance, Danilo Two (talk) 13:34, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Edit request: Products updates
Hello, While my other requests await feedback, I am posting my remaining section drafts. This way, editors can see my proposal in its entirety. Below is the draft and markup to update and expand Products. The existing Products section is one sentence; my draft expands on the existing material slightly to give readers some additional detail on the products. All of the detail I propose is cited, and it is my hope that Wikipedia editors will feel it is written with a WP:NPOV.

As above: I propose these edits on behalf of Gigamon, working with agency Merritt Group through my work at Beutler Ink.

The products are already listed.  Spintendo  ᔦᔭ   21:31, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Edit request: Recognition and awards updates
Hello, Here is another section rewrite. The current Recognition and awards section is outdated, as the latest details listed are from 2015. My draft below includes three of Gigamon's more recent recognition and another from earlier in the company's history, including Gigamon's position on Forbes' Fast Technology 25 list in 2017, NetworkWorld Asia Information Management Awards in 2017, Deloitte's Fast 500 list in 2016, and InfoWorld's 15 Tech Startups to Watch in 2006.

As above: I propose these edits on behalf of Gigamon, working with agency Merritt Group through my work at Beutler Ink. I will keep my Wikipedia contributions where I have a financial conflict of interest on Talk pages rather than directly edit entries.

Edit request: Introduction updates
Hello, This edit request finishes off my drafted updates. As you might expect, this draft updates details in the introduction based on the material that's provided in my drafts above. It includes a revised description of the company, number of employees and includes Gigamon's NYSE stock symbol.
