Tortoise Media Source
I noticed this rankings list was removed because an editor mentioned: "partial rv. per source ranking was by CSRHub of the S&P not by S&P. UN is unsourced. Tortoise index would need secondary sourcing to merit inclusion."

The rankings list was created by Tortoise Media, not CSRHub as mentioned by the other editor. "The Responsibility100 Index, developed by Tortoise, has been established to examine how much each of the FTSE 100 companies are doing to ensure a safe, fair and sustainable world." - From the site.

Tortoise Media is a reliable source in itself and this rankings list was based on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The list was created by Tortoise Media & shouldn't be disallowed on the page. 76.127.85.100 (talk) 16:06, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Undisclosed paid edits
Please, see. This undisclosed paid editing company is also quite active in this article, both with their usual IP socks on proxies as well as (now blocked) accounts. MarioGom (talk) 23:04, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for identifying this. Is it possible to list the offending edits (or editors) to the RELX article so the relevant material can be systematically removed? Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 23:12, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

I have reverted all the above edits accordingly. I have gone right back to the start of January 2020 and I cannot find any other edits or earlier edits following a similar pattern. If you are OK that I have caught all the offending edits, perhaps we can remove the tag now? Dormskirk (talk) 09:57, 22 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Sure, feel free to remove the tag. Thank you! MarioGom (talk) 16:22, 22 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks - you are doing a great job here. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 16:25, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Page protection.
Should there be page protection for this article? I am suggesting this as I am seeing a lot of reverts relating to possible paid edits.
 * Sounds a good idea. Dormskirk (talk) 12:55, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
