If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
 * Take a look at Consensus of standards

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- ```Buster Seven   Talk  19:08, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Stockrow
Hi. You seem pretty committed to adding links to stockrow to WP.

Hello, I'm Jytdog. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Please consider reading the material on the mainpage of WP:WikiProject Companies and then asking folks who are part of that project at the associated Talk page how they feel about adding stock listings to a Newco listing site across many WP articles, as you have been doing. That is the normal process for making the kind of broad additions you have been doing. Jytdog (talk) 11:06, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Jytdog. I have created a new section there as you suggested. Maxime Vernier (talk) 11:22, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Archnewlogo11.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Archnewlogo11.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 04:17, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Global Payments


A tag has been placed on Global Payments, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of https://www.globalpaymentsinc.com/en/unitedkingdom/about-us/about-us. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:38, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Help with BNY Mellon?
Hello! I noticed you are interested in editing finance-related articles. Would you mind taking a look at an edit request I've made on the BNY Mellon Talk page? They're very small updates, but I am avoiding making the edits myself because I have a financial COI (I'm monitoring the article on behalf of BNY Mellon). I'd appreciate any assistance you can provide, but no worries if this doesn't appeal to you. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 21:22, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Removing GICS Sub-Industry from S&P 400 list
Maxime,

Is there a reason why you are removing the sub-industry on several entries for the List of S&P 400 companies page? I would think we should try to find the sub-industry when available. An example would be Jones Lang LaSalle where the sub-industry should remain Real Estate Services under the Real Estate sector. Ksu6500 (talk) 02:11, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

I do agree with you. When I did this, it was to correct the sector and since I did not know the Sub-industry I left it blank. My source for S&P 400 companies is the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF and on their website they only mention the sector but not the sub-industry. Maxime Vernier (talk) 18:35, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

I did find the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH) holdings spreadsheet on the iShares website. It did contain some useful information including being able to sort by name within sector. This did help to confirm we have all of the current holdings and the correct sector for each holding. It can be difficult to find the GICS sub-industry especially for holdings that have been on the index for many years. I try to use the GICS sub-industry on the S&P press release when changes are made to the index. Sometimes I have had to resort to Morningstar.com for information esp. on the Real Estate sector. I have made a bunch of edits recently so I hope they have been helpful and accurate. Ksu6500 (talk) 03:52, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Edit request: BNY Mellon
Hi Maxime Vernier, you helped a former colleague of mine with their edit request at BNY Mellon toward the end of last year. I'm wondering if you'd have time to review this request for a few routine edits? Some requested updates under Leadership and Company culture have already been made, but I'm still seeking editors to review and implement updates to the introduction, Operations, Investment services, Recognition, and Company culture. I have a WP:COI as I am posting suggested edits for BNY Mellon as part of my work at Beutler Ink. Thanks in advance, Danilo Two (talk) 17:05, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Ok I have updated the number of employees. Maxime Vernier (talk) 17:37, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

DJIA changes
Do you have a source for your recent changes, such as ? I don't see any news stories that Berkshire, Facebook, or Amazon are being added to the DJIA. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 18:25, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

My mistake, thanks for undoing my incorrect edits. Maxime Vernier (talk) 18:35, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * First welcomed (by me) in late 2013 but not active 'till the end of 2016. Not a lot of edits (3000) but displays active participation in improving the encyclopedia. Good work at List of S&P 400 companies. Maxime has a keen interest in editing finance related articles and creating quality content about businesses, like Envision Healthcare, one of the four articles she has created. The WP community can always benefit by identifying and documenting commercial organizations that are notable. She has received praise for her extensive work at keeping the Stock Market indices up to date. &#8213; Buster7  &#9742;   21:05, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Russell 2000
Hi Maxine - I noticed you've been adding Russell 2000 to company infoboxes. I'm wondering how sustainable this info is for 2000 articles? How frequently does the list change (daily, weekly, quarterly, etc?), and are you somehow alerted when the list changes? Should this info go on the talk page, if you are unable to edit any more and others want to help keep the info from becoming outdated? Also, why did you choose to do the Russell 2000, and not the easier to maintain 1000? Any particular significance to the 2000? Cheers. TimTempleton (talk) (cont)  18:35, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Tim, lots of questions. I might be interested at some point to create a bot to make it sustainable. On the Russell Indexes page we say the indexes are rebalanced annually in June but IPOs are added quaterly. My primary source of information is the composition of the ETFs that track these indices. I have done DJIA, DJTA, DJUA, S&P 100, S&P 500, S&P 400, S&P 600, Russell 1000 and now I am on the Russell 2000 (from big capitalizations to small capitalizations somewhat). Maxime Vernier (talk) 15:27, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You've got your work cut out for you. You'd think Russell would have an RSS feed or something similar to make this easier. Perhaps they might provide you with one? After all, every article you edit is promoting their brand now (and I don't mean that in a snarky way). I'll ping their communications director and see what he thinks. How do you find the ETFs?  I'm not a finance guy. Can you provide a link that I can put on the various Russell talk pages, to assist future editors? TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  18:29, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks Tim, it is true that I do not have a notification mechanism. For the Russell 2000 for example I go to the website of the iShares Russell 2000, there you can download an Excel file with the composition: https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239710/ishares-russell-2000-etf Maxime Vernier (talk) 18:43, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I just found out from Russell Investments that they are no longer running the Russell indexes - it's FTSE/Russel, owned by the London Stock Exchange Group. Accordingly, I changed a couple of external links in the Russell 1000 Index article.  Still waiting to hear now from FTSE/Russell about notification.

Inquiry from a Public Relations Representative for Cantel on Assessing Wikipedia Article
Hello Maxime Vernier,

My name is Saralynn and I am a Public Relations professional at GCI Health, an agency specializing in healthcare. We’re reaching out on behalf of our clients at Cantel to potentially update outdated information found on the Cantel Wikipedia page.

We’re reaching out to you because we know Wikipedia users depend on active, qualified editors for accurate and supported articles. We felt that given your previous efforts editing Wikipedia pages on Envision Healthcare you might be interested in reviewing this page through the lens of updating older information.

To further disclose our position, we are aware that per Wikipedia’s guidelines, neither the company nor the company’s representatives can make direct edits to Wikipedia pages. Respecting these rules, our priority is ensuring that the Wiki has the most up-to-date information – we’re reaching out in the hopes you may be able to assess the current state of the page against publicly available information on Cantel to make accurate and appropriate updates.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Best regards, SLK2019 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:47, 25 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello Saralynn, best would be to make a list of specific information you want to be updated in the talk page of the article so that me or other contributors can update and track progress Maxime Vernier (talk) 15:41, 26 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello Maxime Vernier,


 * Thank you for your response! I know per Wikipedia’s guidelines that neither the company nor any of the company’s representatives can make direct edits to Wikipedia pages. As a result, the Cantel Medical Corporation page currently features a few areas with outdated information and we would recommend reviewing the latest information on Cantel’s Investor Relations website and the “About” section of Cantel’s website to identify a few key areas that could be made more up-to-date and accurate.


 * Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions or if we can provide more specificity.


 * Best regards,
 * SLK2019 (talk)

Upland Software
Hello Maxime, I've noticed your work on adding indices to infoboxes, and so thought you would have the appropriate subject knowledge to look at a draft page for Upland Software, which is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Upland_Software

It is traded as NASDAQ: UPLD and is part of the Russell 2000 Index Component, and has been included in analysts coverage although the page itself is coming up against "notability". Perhaps you could see if the page could be improved, or where to find independent, significant, coverage that seems should exist for a company in the Russell 2000 Index? This page seems similar to other companies in content, tone, and references so I'm a bit lost on where to go from here. Seems like this has potential to be useful as an encyclopedia entry as no other resources of consolidated information seems to exist for the company.

(and I have been paid to help work on this page, and did disclose, so please don't feel obligated to look into this if that's an issue)

Thank you for your time,

Regards,

Naadobea1776 (talk) 18:21, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

P.S.

I should note I found additional sources for a "further reading" section, added them there so it's not a huge amount of links in the content of the article, in case that's helpful.

Naadobea1776 (talk) 18:23, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Best would be to detail on the talk page what you did specifically to address the issues mentioned in your two rejections. I would trim the article (lose the acquisitions) and focus on 3 main sources as suggested also read or reread the page on notability guidelines. Good luck, I have had also new articles deleted in the past. Maxime Vernier (talk) 18:51, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the advice. I'll proceed as you suggest. Good point on the talk page, I didn't think of that and only mentioned in the comments. I am taking the rejection as a learning experience and also how to improve towards what Wikipedia expects from pages, I want to learn on how to better follow culture and guidelines so thank you for taking the time to respond so I can learn from this! Regards, Naadobea1776 (talk) 18:44, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Asking for assistance with public company article
Hello Maxime Vernier. I am employed by a communications firm, and I have been working since May 2019 to improve a draft of an article for a client, Resideo, a public company operating in the smart-home technologies marketplace. In response to feedback from Wikipedia reviewers on previous drafts, I have made improvements on sourcing and, I believe, I have removed all promotional language that may have been biased. I researched other company pages created as a result of spin offs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Corporate_spin-offs) and used them as inspiration for the Resideo article structure. Before I resubmit this for approval, I would appreciate any feedback from you that would further improve the article or any comments you have on the subject's notability. I understand I am working in a conflict of interest/paid editing situation, which is why I am asking for your help. Here is a link to review it in the draft space: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Resideo Nellie04 (talk) 19:12, 29 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello Nellie, I would add an infobox. It seems there is no link to the official web site of the company. 20:03, 29 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you. That's a great suggestion, and I will work on adding one. Nellie04 (talk) 01:53, 6 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I added an infobox...first time that I've made one of these, so a great learning opportunity. I do need some guidance on adding the company logo. Is that something you could help me with? I've uploaded the company's logo here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Resideo_logo.png but I'm having difficulties addressing the Licensing section. Many thanks. Nellie04 (talk) 16:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Congratulations on your first infobox, it looks good. I had the same problem than you when I created the article about Arch Capital Group with its logo. It got removed and someone else uploaded a Wikipedia-friendly version to replace my version. Sorry for not being able to help with logos, my first try was not successful either.
