SMEC Holdings
Wikipedia tries to give the views of independent sources – how the company is seen from the outside rather than how it would like to present itself. A link is given to the corporate website so readers can check what the company says about itself, but the article should minimize use of material provided by the company, particularly anything that implies an opinion about their products or services. The article can record the impressive achievements of the the Snowy Mountains Scheme as reported by an external source, but not quote the company as saying it was rated one of civil engineering’s ‘Wonders of the Modern World’. Rated by who? Who says so? However, if SMEC says their president is John Smith we can record that fact. For variable information the article gives the date: "total revenue in the 2012 financial year was $420 million." That is presumably still true, whatever the more recent figures are. If there are specific statements in the article that you think are seriously misleading, point them out on the article talk page and I will try to fix it.
