Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Suzuki, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ''Some of your changes were reasonable - such as formatting and word changes - but others were not. You should update the source if you change existing referenced content.

Lenovo
Hi, although some of your changes at Lenovo are helpful, many are not. It would be appreciated if going forward you could 1. use edit summaries, 2. not make very large numbers of changes to text in a single edit - this makes it very likely that they will be reverted, particularly when the changes are of the type which you have made at the above article, and 3. when reverted for good reason, not simply make exactly the same changes again but consider going to the article Talk page.

And please also do not mark edits like this as minor.Rangoon11 (talk) 01:01, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for the message, Rangoon11. I am sorry for messing up the article. I am new to Wikipedia, and am not familiar with how to create an edit summary (any response as to how to do that so that I don't make that mistake in the future would be appreciated). Also, I currently work at Lenovo, and I made the corrections I had to the Wikipedia article because there were incorrect details in it (i.e., the listing of Singapore as the location of one of my employers' headquarters, which is not true; Lenovo only has headquarters here in Beijing, China, and in the United States). I edited the article in the first place to make sure that its information correctly represents Lenovo. Further, I don't make major changes to articles on topics of which I am not very knowledgeable. The changes I made to the Acer article were simple grammatical changes that did not alter the content. Still, I understand your concerns, and would happily work with you to resolve them.(Shauni84 (talk) 01:12, 22 May 2012 (UTC))


 * Thanks for your reply. On the specific point of the Lenovo HQ, I based my conclusions from Lenovo's own web site:.
 * To enter an edit summary, simply add text in the Edit summary box above the Save page button.
 * A number of changes which you made to the Lenovo article were simply factually incorrect. For example you changed the text to state that Lenovo is the third rather than second largest PC vendor by 2011 revenues. The linked article and cite are however quite clear. Equally Lenovo is clearly not an American brand, but a Chinese one ("ThinkPad" is arguably an American brand however).
 * Looking at your previous editing history raises my concerns about your editing far higher however. Edits like this, this , this and this  concern me greatly as I see lots of factual errors being made as part of bulk edits combined in with all manner of other text tweaks.
 * I am in fact so concerned by your editing that I am going to seek the advice of others as how best to deal with it. At a minimum I believe that your editing should be very closely watched.Rangoon11 (talk) 01:36, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for all of your responses, Rangoon11. I have received communication from other Wikipedia users about the articles you mentioned- particularly for the article about Suzuki - and will take much more care in future edits. As for the Lenovo article, you were correct. My edits on that article were based on then-current information made available at the division of the company at where I work. The website you referenced in your first reply is operated by Lenovo UK (which is not the division I work for), and its information, though correct, was not at the time known to me or my coworkers due to the fact that we work at Lenovo China and were all given information that was by then irrelevant. That said, I have notified Lenovo's online division of this problem, and almost all Lenovo-operated international websites have been corrected to reflect the changes you have pointed out. Further, I am very sorry for any inappropriate edits I made to Wikipedia articles, and I promise to take discretion and due diligence in editing future articles. Also, I will gladly work with you and other Wikipedia users when necessary to try and prevent this situation from happening again. Thank you for the criticism- it was appreciated.
