Hi Wiki editors,

This is Calvin of Bluecurrent Group acting on behalf of TCL Electronics, who would like to suggest the first batch of edits below for consideration.

--BCHK c (talk) 13:44, 1 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Too long. I put it in draftspace instead. Draft:TCL Electronics.


 * For the content, list of sponsorship deal seem not an encyclopedic content. Also, list of products may be not that encyclopedic either, unless that RS had in-depth coverage on that product that merit the product as notable / revolutionary / should be mentioned. Matthew hk (talk) 13:56, 1 November 2019 (UTC)


 * And here is the link for making edit request Template:Request edit. Follow the template instruction to put it here to request simple edit. Matthew hk (talk) 13:58, 1 November 2019 (UTC)


 * More minor suggestion. website should use website instead of publisher. I have no time to fix it, but you can do it in the draft. Matthew hk (talk) 07:48, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Matthew. I will look into it and make the necessary changes asap --BCHK c (talk) 10:48, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Matthew, I have added some more suggested changes in Draft:TCL Electronics. Shall i paste everything here or shall I do so in the draft page instead? For the proposed content, this is with reference to the format/topic of the published content in other brands' wikipedia pages that hold similar business nature as TCL Electronics. I am pretty much following a similar path but let me know if you think otherwise.


 * I also plan to upload a company image, just checking to see if I should make the request for the main page or draft page for now as a non-autoconfirmed user? --BCHK c (talk) 08:13, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Some proposed changes
Information to be added or removed: See Draft:TCL Electronics

Explanation of issue: To update outdated content and to supplement existing content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BCHK c (talk • contribs) 08:13, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

 * There are two issues with the suggested changes:
 * 1) The requested changes are accompanied largely by primary sources when Wikipedia prefers — to a greater degree — WP:SECONDARY sources originating from reliable, independent publications.
 * 2) Reasons have not been provided with each requested change. All additions and subtractions from an article require reasons for their needing to be made.
 * To that end, please reformulate your request, taking care to ensure that a larger selection of references used are to reliable, independent, secondary sources, and that reasons are provided with each individual change. An example for how one such substitution can be made is depicted below:

 1. Please remove the third sentence from the second paragraph of the Sun section:
 * "The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 25 miles in length."

2. Please add the following claim as the third sentence of the second paragraph of the Sun section:
 * "The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 864,337 miles in length."

3. Using as the reference:

4. Reason for change being made:
 * "The previously given diameter was incorrect. The Harinath source, as well as references from the Astronomers Almanac and Nature sources already used in the article all indicate that the estimate is closer to 864,337 miles."

Regards, Spintendo  14:10, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Please feel free to open a new edit request at your earliest convenience when ready to proceed.

Introduction

1. Please remove the first complete sentence from the first paragraph of the introduction section:

"TCL Electronics Holdings Limited is a Chinese company based in Shenzhen (but incorporated in the Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands; listed in Hong Kong) which manufacture television and other consumer electronics."

2. Please add the following as the first sentence of the first paragraph under introduction section:

“TCL Electronics Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of TCL Industries Holdings, is a Chinese consumer electronics company headquartered in Guangdong, China (but incorporated in the Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands; listed in Hong Kong. Stock code: 01070.HK.).”

4. Reason for change being made:
 * TCL Electronics is under TCL Industries Holdings following the recent restructure announcement in October 2019.
 * Suggest to add "consumer electronics" in between Chinese and company to specify the business nature of TCL Electronics
 * TCL Electronics has multiple business units which are based in different cities within the Guangdong Province (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Huizhou etc.) & Hong Kong rather than just Shenzhen. Hence, we would suggest to write as "headquartered in Guangdong"

1. Please remove the second & third sentence from the first paragraph of the introduction section:

“It is a subsidiary of TCL Corporation for 52.10% shares (via "TCL Industries Holdings (HK) Ltd."). Leshi Zhixin (via HK incorporated "Letv ZhiXin Investment (HK) Ltd."), an associate company of Le.com, also owned 20.09% shares.[1][2]:44"“

TCL Electronics specializes in the research and development and the manufacturing of TV products with large sales volumes globally. In 2018, the company was ranked second in the global TV market by shipment with a market share of 10.9%, according to IHS Markits. Apart from its core TV business, TCL Electronics is continuously pushing forward business diversification in areas such as headphones, sound bars, commercial displays and smart home products so it can continue to grow as a company. TCL Electronics is to become a major smart technology company and has adopted the strategy "A.I. x IoT" focusing on technological innovation, R&D and manufacturing, so as to provide its customers around the world with products and services that help them live a smart and healthy life.”

3. Using as the reference: (A.I. x IoT)

For the market share data from IHS Markits, I have a soft copy certificate from IHS Markits that can be uploaded if needed.

4. Reason for change being made:

The ownership structure and percentage are no longer valid. Information of such will be mentioned under the company info box and therefore it’s a duplication to include here. I would suggest replacing that with a more in-depth background introduction of TCL Electronics’ business nature, structure, scale and strategies.

1. Please remove the second paragraph from the introduction section:

“TCL Multimedia's Hong Kong headquarters was in 13/F, TCL Tower, 8 Tai Chung Road, Tsuen Wan, the New Territories.”

4. Reason for change being made:


 * Official name change to TCL Electronics Holdings Limited was made in 2018 (this will be mentioned in the history section)
 * The principal place of business in Hong Kong is in Science Park now
 * Information of such will be mentioned under the company info box and therefore it is suggested to be removed for now.

 * 2) ❌ The percentages were not updated, as the proposed information about the percentage of ownership of the parent organizations was not verified by the provided source.
 * 3) ❌ The information regarding the change of name from TCL Electronic Holdings Limited was not changed, because the name of that company's Wikipedia article has not changed.
 * 4) ❌ The information regarding the translation of the company name was not added, for the same reason as #3 above.
 * 5) ❌ The product and sponsorship information was not added, because the reasons for inclusion offered by the COI editor need to be clarified:
 * 6) In all instances where the reasons given were stated as This is regarded as one of the important milestones and/or sponsorships in the TV space for TCL Electronics please indicate what it was, about those claim's occurrences, which enabled them to be regarded as important milestones/sponsorships for TCL Electronics.

Update 16 Dec 2019
Hi Spintendo, many thanks for your time reviewing this.


 * For your second comment, please refer to the latest document filed to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for easy reference which reflects the calculation of the latest number 55.83% in page 4 of the document and a statement was made clear that "the directors of the Purchaser jointly and severally accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information (other than that relating to the Group) contained in this joint announcement and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge, opinions (other than those expressed by the Directors) expressed in this joint announcement have been arrived at after due and careful consideration and there are no other facts not contained in this joint announcement, the omission of which would make any statements in this joint announcement misleading.". Can you advise what further verification is needed as the current data displayed in the page are also based on the interim report filed by TCL Electronics to the same source.


 * I don't quite follow on your third & fourth comment. TCL Electronics Holdings Limited is not displayed in full (currently as TCL Electronics) in the infobox section and from my understanding, this is not the usual practice as brands like Samsung Electronics & LG Electronics are displaying their name in full. For the fourth comment, the translated names currently displayed represents TCL Multimedia, which is outdated. Our suggested names are what TCL Electronics is currently referred to in Chinese.


 * Also, I noticed the company address as well as the parent company have not been amended. Can you please help review and let me know if there's any issue? Rationale has been made for both items in my previous request.

I understand there're quite a number of changes requests, so perhaps let's work on the infobox details for now before moving on to other areas.

Update 19 Dec 2019
Hi, I would like to submit another batch of update request for your review. Thanks!

Introduction

#1

1. Please remove the first complete sentence from the first paragraph of the introduction section:

"TCL Electronics Holdings Limited is a Chinese company based in Shenzhen (but incorporated in the Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands; listed in Hong Kong) that manufactures television and other consumer electronics. It is a subsidiary of TCL Corporation."

2. Please add the following as the first sentence of the first paragraph under introduction section:

“TCL Electronics Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of TCL Industries Holdings, is a Chinese consumer electronics company based in Shenzhen (but incorporated in the Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands; listed in Hong Kong. Stock code: 01070.HK.).”

3. Reason for change being made:


 * TCL Electronics is now under TCL Industries Holdings following the recent restructure announcement in October 2019. The suggested change will better reflect the latest corporate structure of TCL Electronics, which majority readers may not be aware of.
 * Suggest to add "consumer electronics" in between Chinese and company to specify the major business nature of TCL Electronics, with reference to its products offerings under company's website (http://electronics.tcl.com/en/product/info.do?method=findContent&mappingName=landing).

#2

2. Please add the following after the first sentence of the first paragraph under introduction section:

“Today TCL Electronics’ business spans more than 160 markets around the world including North America, Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa and South America. TCL Electronics specializes in the research and development and the manufacturing of TV products with large sales volumes globally. In 2018, the company was ranked second in the global TV market by shipment with a market share of 10.9%, according to IHS Markits. Apart from its core TV business, TCL Electronics is continuously pushing forward business diversification in areas such as headphones, sound bars, commercial displays and smart home products so it can continue to grow as a company. TCL Electronics is to become a major smart technology company and has adopted the strategy "A.I. x IoT" focusing on technological innovation, R&D and manufacturing, so as to provide its customers around the world with products and services that help them live a smart and healthy life.”

3. Reference:

Reference for the market share data from IHS Markits: You may refer to this Chinese certificate issued by IHS Markits Beijing (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BnlLb56GDT2TaToIs-OUd4Dl4jETLleh/view).

Reference for business diversification:

Reference for "A.I. x IoT":

4. Reason for change being made: The suggested paragraph provides a more detailed context in allowing readers to understand the business nature, visions and the latest business development of TCL Electronics with reference to its published press materials

#3

1. Please remove the third sentence from the introduction section:

“ The company also has offices in Hong Kong.”

4. Reason for change being made:

This line doesn't give much context in getting readers to understand more about TCL ElectronicsIf we are to include information about the HK office, then we would suggest to add the full principal address of TCL Hong Kong

 Address reference:

 * 1) ✅ The company being a subsidiary of TCL IH was added to the lead.
 * 2) ❌ The proposal regarding "today's TCL Electronics" was not added, per WP:NOTBROCHURE.
 * 3) ✅ The mention of the company's offices in Hong Kong was omitted.


 * Hi, can you advise how the paragraph can be further amended to pass this guideline as i can see a number of pages also reference information from company websites or PRnewswire for their intro. Thanks! 	--BCHK c (talk) 14:30, 20 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi, Can you please suggest on how to amend the second point, in order to pass the guideline? As I can see quite a few companies including LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics also mentioned similar information, including their size of global businesses and global market share. --BCHK c (talk) 11:42, 27 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I would suggest you read the information at WP:NOTBROCHURE in order to revise the proposal so that it does not read like an advertising brochure for the company. "TCL Electronics is continuously pushing forward business diversification in areas such as headphones, sound bars, commercial displays and smart home products so it can continue to grow as a company. TCL Electronics is to become a major smart technology company and has adopted the strategy "A.I. x IoT" focusing on technological innovation, R&D and manufacturing, so as to provide its customers around the world with products and services that help them live a smart and healthy life.” It goes without saying that claims of the company delivering a "smarter healthier life" are not appropriate for the article. Everything in the second part of your proposal which makes the company sound efficient, technologically savvy or beneficial to human life are all descriptions which should be assiduously avoided. Regards,  Spintendo  04:11, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Update 30 Dec 2019

The following is my feedback on your proposal:
 * Today TCL Electronics’ business spans more than 160 markets around the world including North America, Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa and South America.
 * This is already in the article, where it states "TCL has set up production and marketing systems in dozens of countries and regions worldwide." Dozens of regions would mathmatically encompass a large portion of the planet if one counts regions as Asia, Europe, North and South America, Africa and the Middle East, leaving six more regions to go.


 * TCL Electronics specializes in the research and development and the manufacturing of TV products
 * The article already states that it manufactures televisions.


 * with large sales volumes globally.
 * What large means here is unclear. Large as opposed to what? Large according to whom? Is this large-ness for one year, or two years, or a decade?


 * In 2018, the company was ranked second in the global TV market by shipment with a market share of 10.9%, according to IHS Markits.
 * What methadology does IHS Markits use to arrive at this distinction?


 * Apart from its core TV business, TCL Electronics is continuously pushing forward business diversification in areas such as headphones, soundbars, commercial displays and smart home products.
 * "Continuously pushing forward" means what exactly?


 * TCL Electronics has also adopted the strategy “A.I. x IoT” focusing on technological innovation, R&D and Manufacturing
 * That TCL has adopted a strategy of innovation is neither suprising nor encyclopedic in value as a statement. How and in what way does using this strategy help to "focus" on innovation? Please advise.
