INTRO: LAST PARAGRAPH, LAST SENTENCE Add this sentence about Verisk’s latest acquisition to end of paragraph: “In 2012, Verisk acquired Argus Information & Advisory Services, a premier provider of information, competitive benchmarking, scoring solutions, analytics, and customized services to financial institutions and regulators in North America, Latin America, and Europe.” SOURCE http://www.verisk.com/Press-Releases/2012/Verisk-Analytics-to-Acquire-Argus-Information-and-Advisory-Services.html
 * Can you provide an independent secondary source? Any established news publications would do, for example. Also, language like "solutions", listing out each country it serves and providing a long list of services offered are all too promotional. Just saying they acquired an analytics company is adequate.

 * Same with these. Generally you can keep the infobox up to date as a non-controversial edit, as long as you don't create excessive lists of products or executives in the corresponding parameters. CorporateM (Talk) 06:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I removed this entire section - highly inappropriate material for an encyclopedia. More appropriate for the company website. We do normally cover each change in CEO in the corporate history section, but there is no need for us to provide a complete list of execs to readers. CorporateM (Talk) 06:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

ADD “COMPANIES” SECTION Provide list of Verisk's subsidiaries and business units: ISO 3E Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) AIR Worldwide Argus Information & Advisory Services Insurance Information Exchange (iiX) IntelliCorp National Equipment Register (NER) Verisk Health Xactware SOURCE: http://www.verisk.com/About-Verisk/Verisk-Family-of-Companies/Verisk-Family-of-Companies.html
 * Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Long lists normally fall under this category. However if an independent secondary source summarized this information, we would probably include it. CorporateM (Talk) 06:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
