Talk:Rockwell Automation

with stuff like 'most valued ...' this sounds more like a corporate mission statement, than an encyclopedia article.

Some note: 1. Sponsorship section is not that relevant since they're no longer sponsors now? 2. Too much details on MCC application example/recent wins (biased) :FunKeh  25 March 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.178.37 (talk) 11:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Rockwell and Allen-Bradley?

This article is titled "Rockwell Automation"; but the first section discusses the history of Allen-Bradley. Then it says "In '85, Rockwell International bought AB." Then it continues with a history of Rockwell. What is going on?70.184.230.25 (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Suitability of recent changes
I know these changes were made by a new user, so I'm open to answering any questions. But I think the original version of the article from last year reads better than it does now. The new additions seem more suitable for a website or company catalog, but this encyclopedia article should be mostly about the history of the company. At the very least, the majority of the content in the article should be sourced to independent sources (aka sources without a direct connection to the company).

Mission statements, a list of products and services, and long sections of information sourced only to the company need to be changed. Those are useful for company websites, but not standard for encyclopedia articles like the ones on Wikipedia.

For now, I'm removing and adjusting some of the edits, but they can still be found in the History section of the page. I'm open to improving the article with you, (as much as I can or have time for). But I think some guidance may be helpful, since editing content on commercial organizations can be difficult to do and you may have a conflict of interest with the company. - Whisperjanes (talk) 18:48, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

In respect to the full disclosure guidelines, I'm reporting that I am being compensated for any edits you see attributed to JeffRMcCollum involving Rockwell Automation. I am a communications freelancer and am not directly employed by the company, except to the extent that I am being compensated for bringing the company's Wiki page up to date. I hope to continue to be compensated in the future for updating standard figures, e.g., number of employees, annual revenue, significant historical events.
