COI tag
We have a connected contributor working here. article needs to be reviewed by independent editors for NPOV etc before COI tag is removed. Pnican1 is a SPA, seems to have been used just to create this article and then tossed; sign of paid editing. Jytdog (talk) 12:47, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

 * 1) page move is now done.
 * 2) I have declined your request to edit the lead section because I believe that the current version sounds more neutral than the version you have attached.
 * 3)'The firm rebranded itself [...] to reflect [..]' - no, this is completely promotional and should be left out.

History

System Development Integration secured significant investments by private equity firms, LLR Partners and Monument Capital Group in 2012 to drive acquisitions.[7] In 2013, System Development Integration acquired two security integrators[8] in order to expand its security technology services business into the private sector.[9][10] The firm rebranded itself SDI Solutions, with all three entities merging into a single organization.

In 2015, SDI management changes brought new leadership to the firm, along with increased focus on data management including data analytics and enterprise video content management systems On June 1, 2016 PGV Solutions Midwest, LLC (wholly owned by David Gupta) completed the acquisition of assets and assumption of select liabilities from SDI Solutions.

 * I'm not sure if you wanted me to explicitly say that they are no longer employed in the article. I think the current way is fine; it's better to say that someone else is now CEO, rather than simply stating someone is no longer employed. Can you just clarify what you want me to do with number two? --st170e talk 15:43, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Future edit requests should be made here in new sections below, so they are part of the record of the article. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 16:27, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Revision
I worked this over today and brought in the full story of the bankruptcy etc. We have to be careful dealing with requests from companies; it is not in their interest to discuss negative information, but we have to per WP:NPOV. Sometimes that means you have to go look for sources yourself. Jytdog (talk) 18:24, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Trib article
User:Dcluca22 please state your objection here. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 21:21, 22 June 2016 (UTC)


 * In the article you referenced, it states "When his wife made the donation in December 2012, he was no longer an owner of the company as defined by city ordinance," she wrote. "...Therefore, the donation is not in violation of the executive order."Dcluca22 (talk) 21:27, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The exact content that is there, is fully supported by the source. The content says nothing about any violations of Emmanuel's policies nor election law or regulations.  Please respond to the actual content. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 21:32, 22 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Irrelevant. The fact that the writer concluded that the ethics ordinance was not violated results in an irrelevant article. Local politicians receive thousands of contributions. Dcluca22 (talk) 21:43, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The actual content is fully supported by the source, which is a very reliable source. You are not making an objection based on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines about content. Jytdog (talk) 21:45, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Are you volunteering or is that a paid position? It doesn't matter either way - you have been doing the right thing by making COI edit requests and you will be able to continue doing that, either way.  You raised a question of whether the tag is correct, and the answer will allow us to keep it or use the other one.  Thanks.  Jytdog (talk) 21:48, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

So to go about edits the way I had been is the best way? Thanks. Dcluca22 (talk) 22:07, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes that is perfect actually. The only thing you hadn't done is disclose and now you have. So thanks! :) Jytdog (talk) 22:39, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
