Hello everybody,

This is the webmaster of Implenia writing. We used to update our Wikipedia article in German only so far. But since we've been growing considerably as a company, we want to keep track of our articles in English and French as well.

So we've translated the (approved) article from German. Of course we are aware that this is an encyclopedia and not an advertisment/PR platform. Therefore we've used a very neutral language to describe the company (as in the German original). I hope that's okay for you guys.

So I'll post the proposed article right here. It would be great if any of the etitors could go through it and tell me if I can update the current article.

Thanks in advance, Implenia-ag (talk) 16:21, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi - Large sections of the above text are missing citations from independent sources as required by WP:CITE. Also it is missing the information on historic projects included in the current article. And the Areas of business section reads far too much like an advert for the company. It seems to me that it is largely written from company sources rather than independent sources so it needs quite a bit more work. Sorry. Dormskirk (talk) 18:29, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Dormskirk, Thank you for your reply. I have used as many external articles as possible - especially for the history section where they are available.

Implenia is growing very fast at the moment. Hence, the company's structure is changing very often these times - about twice or more a year. That is why there are (to my knowledge) no up-to-date sources available; except on the company's website. Furthermore, I would be very grateful if you could tell me which parts of the text "smells" too much like PR, I will gladly rephrase them. (Note: I have already deleted all the unncecessary adjectives; see above)

Thank you for the hint about the historic projects, I have included that part again.

I probably should mention again that I am acting as the webmaster of this firm. As such, I am responsible for the accuracy of this Wiki article. But I really want to stress that it is not our goal to use Wikipedia as a PR platform, we simply want to provide your users who are looking up this article with accurate / up-to-date information. Today's article is hopelessly outdated and in many cases just plain wrong.

Thank you in advance for pointing me in the right direction. Implenia-ag (talk) 14:30, 19 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi - The article on Bechtel is an excellent example of a really well written article on a construction company: you will see that it is very well drafted, that all information is properly cited and that independent sources are used throughout. The whole of your section on "Areas of business" reads like PR: it reads as if it could have come from the company's website, which would be entirely inappropriate for a wikipedia article. I hope this helps. Dormskirk (talk) 20:52, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
