Proposed edits from Jack Petchey Foundation employee
- Sir Jack did not use his Navy discharge to start a car sale business, it began as a car sales business and later grew into car sales. (His 50/50 man book) - Typo of 'amassed' as 'ammased' - Typo of 'whole' as 'hole' - Removal of 'hardsell type' - The Foundation no longer has operations in Portugal. (Foundation's website shows this) - 'given' has been capitalised. - In reference 2, Petchey is spelt incorrectly.

Proposal for the Foundation to also have it's own page?
 * Hi Davidjpfound, and thank you for following Wikipedia's conflict of interest protocol. I have made the edits you suggested with the exception of the first one. I don't quite understand why the current wording is problematic. If a business began as car sales, how could it "later grew into car sales?"


 * As for whether the Foundation should have its own page, that depends on whether the Foundation passes Wikipedia's notability criteria. If it does, you are permitted to create a draft of the article in the draft namespace (for example, at Draft:Jack Petchey Foundation). Then, you can submit it for review through the Articles for creation process by adding {{subst:submit}} at the top of the draft. Just note that you have a conflict of interest.


 * Be aware that the reviewers have strict standards. Avoid using promotional language or anything reminiscent of a press release. The reviewers typically want to see multiple citations to reliable sources and may ask you to prove that the organization is notable. This last step may be difficult, as even if an organization seems notable to you, or even to other organizations in the industry, reviewers want to see significant coverage of the organization in publications that are not connected to your organization, or even unconnected to the industry.

Hi, thank you for your assistance.

Whoops, sorry that wording was a mistake. Jack began to a car hire business, he bought one car in which he would drive people around it, this evolved into a fleet of cars and drivers, and later he then began to sell cars.

Thank you for your help, I'll continue with drafting a page on the Foundation and will read through the notability criteria.--Davidjpfound (talk) 10:35, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

New car sales or used car sales?
