File:Nestle Purina's solar farm in Colorado.jpg

During the Good Article review, User:DocumentError passed the article, but suggested it could use more images if available. I mentioned I would try to obtain some from Purina and just received a Declaration of Consent for this beauty [mentioned above]. Suggest adding it at the top of "Recent history" where their solar farm in Colorado is discussed. CorporateM (Talk) 21:51, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * CorporateM, I have made the edit as you requested. It's a fine addition to the article. Prhartcom (talk) 05:43, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Workplace
FYI - someone brought this to my attention offline. Glassdoor's 7th annual best places to work ranking placed Nestle Purina Petcare in the third place spot. Per my own advice at WP:ORGAWARDS, I do not believe such rankings/awards belong in the article, unless there is a secondary source, independent from the award organizers, that covers the company winning the award (or in other exceptions: articles should always contain a market-share ranking/value where available and some rankings like the Fortune 500 are unquestionably notable). This is especially the case here, since the rankings are based on crowd-sourced reviews. However, user:FreeRangeFrog recently went the other way on a similar issue on another article and my views are not necessarily representative of any clear and overwhelming community consensus. So I'll just share it here in case anyone has an opinion. CorporateM (Talk) 16:27, 10 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Found a secondary source from Bloomberg DNA:
 * I haven't read the whole thing yet, but it appears to cover Purina's workplace culture in-depth. Will take a closer look. CorporateM (Talk) 16:32, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Recent edits
recently made some edits here regarding a new class action lawsuit about allegations of contaminants in Beneful. However, the text only included the plaintiff's point-of-view and is probably better covered on the Beneful page with a sentence or two summary here.

I'd like to suggest the lawsuit content be integrated into the Beneful page and be written in a manner that summarizes multiple viewpoints, rather than just that of consumers. I've put together a proposed draft at User:CorporateM/Purina. A more detailed annotated comparison of the two versions is available here. CorporateM (Talk) 01:43, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Federal Court is a dab page. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:48, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, what sentence would you use here? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:50, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I corrected the DAB issue. For the sentence on this page, how about something like: "In 2015 a class-action lawsuit was filed against Purina regarding allegations that its Beneful brand of dog food contained toxic ingredients that Purina said were FDA-approved."

 * Hows about "In 2015, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Purina. It alleged that the company's Beneful brand of dog food contained toxic ingredients. Purina said these ingredients were FDA-approved." Or something similar. Reduce the verbiage. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:08, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. I did some very very minor copyediting to the draft sentence above. I'm happy to add citations to it in article-space as a non-controversial edit. CorporateM (Talk) 16:11, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright, done. Please feel free to add the reference for the PetCare article. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:16, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
