[edit]

The incoming links are links to an an article titled Ansell on the major long established Australian company, which was for several years the primary topic. The article seems to have been radically altered at some point and was deleted in June 2011 as advertising. I am trying to recover an earler version, see discussion here and here. Hopefully then the article title and/or links can then be fixed.--Mhockey (talk) 05:05, 26 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have not been able to get any help from the admins involved in deleting the original article, but I have been able to add to an article on the Australian company which was written to replace the deleted article, and fix the incoming links problem by restoring the Australian company as the primary topic. I have also restored the redirects Dunlop Australia and Pacific Dunlop, which were also deleted when the article was deleted, both of which have a good number of incoming links.--Mhockey (talk) 00:04, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Unable to review  
Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly.[a]

  1. The citation style predominantly used by the Ansell article appears to be Citation Style 1. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.[b] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.)
  2. Citation ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.)

In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards,  Spintendo  13:53, 17 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Notes

  1. In addition to not being formatted correctly, the request has provided only references from the subject company. WP:SECONDARY sources unconnected to the subject company ought to be provided.
  2. The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.

@144.121.247.195: Thank you for re-formatting the references as CS1, it's much appreciated. Unfortunately, the citation's ref tags are not properly placed. You have some of them placed in headings — where they should not be — while others have been placed at the end of long passages of text. Ref tags need to be placed in all locations where claims are displayed in the article.

Finally, the claims you've proposed originate only from the subject company's website. Wikipedia is not meant to act as a mirror of information which is available elsewhere, such as the company's own website. Some details, such as a minimal listing of company executives as well as minimal fiancial and product information, is capapble of being referenced by the company. But an article should not be composed of only company sources, which this draft proposal is. The article would be best be served as an amalgamation of company claims mixed with claims originating from various reliable secondary sources which are unconnected to the company itself.

I am an Australian editor and can probably add this content to the page. Probably need to remove some peacock language and delete the lists of employee names as they are specified on the company website and will be very difficult to keep up-to-date on Wiki. Also, I am fairly sure that employees are not 'encyclopedic' aside from CEO/founder type roles. MarekJG (talk) 22:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

After thoroughly reviewing Wikipedia policies, I have edited my proposed changes to the Ansell page and ensured it follows the terms of use. The information in this article is outdated and simply incorrect. I have organized the information to be added or removed to include detailed and easy-to-follow instructions. After reading some advice, I removed unnecessary information and tried to make the history as neutral as possible. The sources extend further than the company website and are cited in Citation Style 1.

After thoroughly reviewing Wikipedia policies once again, I have edited my proposed changes to the Ansell page and ensured it follows the terms of use. I apologize for my mistakes - I am new to Wikipedia and am trying my best at following the policies. That being said, the information in this article is outdated and simply incorrect; my intentions are just to correct it. I have organized the information to be added or removed to include detailed and easy-to-follow instructions. After reading some advice, I removed unnecessary information and tried to make the history as neutral as possible. I also removed the trademarks, as that was my mistake. The sources extend further than the company website and are cited in Citation Style 1.

  Unable to implement  

  1. Portions of the text, namely the financial figures which were to be placed in the sidebar box, are unreferenced.
  2. Other portions of your requested text are insufficiently paraphrased from the source material. Additions to an article need to be placed using an editor's own words and phrasing.
  • Please take care to add ref tags to the financial information, as well as to rephrase the specific sections noted in the link above, so that your request may be reviewed. Thank you for your help!

Potential Bias?

[edit]

This article reads way too much like an advert, even going as far as to have a full part just for the company's mission statement. 2403:4D00:100:24:3C57:3779:A1AD:515A (talk) 01:04, 28 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I agree with this; i have removed several advert-type sections and more language ~ feel free to edit more out if you feel i haven't been good enough. I'd also question if, perhaps one of the current editors doesn't have a connexion to the company ~ a conflict of interest: Oleksandra Avtonomova, do you have some form of a COI with Ansell? Do you work for them or have some other link to the company? It certainly appears that you are motivated to put in as much as possible about it.
