One thing I just noticed, if anyone wants to help me undertake a MASSIVE project -- corporate Infoboxes for major tech companies have zero standardization. Looking at Google, Akamai, Apple, Cloudflare, etc. Some list co-founders, investors, products, technologies, stock prices, revenue, etc. IMHO this would benefit from standardization.

Draft:The Lilting Banshees
There you go, per request. See also the older versions (look in the history) of Lilting Banshees for potential material, which is a redirect page. If your article is accepted it will replace that page. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:31, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Question about a potential COI
Given this post:, I'm wondering if you have a WP:COI in re: Cloudflare. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:54, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * K.e.coffman Nope, no COI, but good question considering my very pro-Cloudflare stance! To be clear on no COI: I don’t work there, have never applied to work there, never plan to work there, have never been paid by the company, am not Facebook friends with anyone who works at the company (to my knowledge), never made a VC or angel investment, etc. My editing interest is around improving the article: I’m honestly shocked how much negativity their Wikipedia page is focused on, as compared to the bulk of the company and the tech improvements they’re making to the internet and helping Wikipedia and Wikipedia. Any suggestions are appreciated to more accurately reflect a cool company with thousands of employees. Adding their product info seems to be the best route to add non-scandal stuff to beef out the article.
 * Similarly interesting to me, I’ve noticed that public SaaS company websites have almost zero standardization regarding which headers are displayed and included — as you noticed, Fastly had Acquisitions, as does Akamai, and some others. It would be an interesting standardization project, as I learn more about Wikipedia, if you’re ever interested to collaborate, to propose some sort of header schema for American public software companies. Any interest, or suggestions how I would further that idea? Nickgray (talk) 01:20, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Cloudflare RfC Review
Hello, Nickgray - I saw your edits on the Cloudflare page, and was wondering if you would be willing to review the RfC discussion I began on the Talk page in December? I have reached consensus for a review and some condensing with a handful of editors, but none of my requests or proposals have been reviewed, discussed, or resolved.

(I note this everywhere, so I will note my COI here as well - I am an employee of Cloudflare, editing the page is not among my primary duties, and I am obviously not editing the page directly, or trying to push any promotional content). Thank you! Ryanknight24 (talk) 18:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I will take a look when I have some time. The last I saw, there was consensus to condense but no clear path forward. It was a bit confusing for me to make heads or tails of it. Nickgray (talk) 19:14, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
