A lengthy welcome
Hi Blastwikireviewer. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 21:00, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Please do not remove references solely because links are outdated
Hi Blastwikireviewer. Please do not remove references from articles because of outdated links. There are a number of alternatives, detailed in WP:DEADREF.

Please work in small edits so it's clear to others what you are doing and make it easier for others to work with you. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 21:07, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Repeated articles and descriptions
The articles, references and descriptions on the Outsourcing page mixes Offshoring, and repeats the same content as the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshoring.

We should make this easier to read, the page is too long to explain what outsourcing is. Either we point offshoring content to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshoring or it is impossible to understand this page.
 * Thanks for responding. The articles are a mess, that's for sure. Just be careful and take your time. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 21:44, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
