Talk:Exide Industries

Company Name

Article says: "1995 Chloride Industries Limited renamed Exide Industries Limited". I think this needs some further explanation. They certainly won't simply give themselves the same name as another major company in the same market. What's the story behind this? What is the level of cooperation, affiliation or connection with Exide USA? --BjKa (talk) 01:28, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

There is a timeline which states that in 1960 the company's name was "Chloride Overseas, Ltd." and they were selling batteries under the name "Exide Ironclad" which was a name that The Electric Storage Battery Co. (now Exide Technologies) had trademarked in 1934: Company History - Exide Industries Ltd. Phedrence (talk) 21:55, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Summary of Past Edits & COI Tag Review Request

In the interest of full transparency, I’d like to disclose that I have previously made direct edits to the Exide Industries article without being aware of Wikipedia’s conflict of interest (COI) guidelines. These edits were made in good faith at the request of the company and were intended to improve accuracy and clarity. However, I understand the importance of neutrality and am committed to following Wikipedia’s COI guidelines strictly going forward.

Here is a summary of the changes I made:

- Updated company overview and product listings

- Reworded parts of the history section for readability

- Attempted to update the official website URL

- Minor grammatical and formatting cleanups

- Made updates to the company board and financial data to keep them current

From this point forward, I will not make any direct edits and will only suggest changes here on the Talk page for neutral review, in accordance with Wikipedia’s conflict of interest policy.

If any of my previous edits appear promotional or biased, I invite reviewers to revert or improve them accordingly.

Given this disclosure and change in approach, I kindly request that an uninvolved editor reviews the

tag currently on the article and considers removing it if the article now meets neutrality and compliance standards.

Thank you very much for your time and help! — ~~~~ Hatchtag (talk) 07:42, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

As an independent contributor, I’ve reviewed the article and also made a few updates myself — including improving citations and adding a new section on recycling. From what I can see, the article content now appears balanced, well-sourced, and in line with Wikipedia’s neutral point of view guidelines.

I believe the original COI concerns have been adequately addressed through the transparency of the contributor and improvements made since. Support removing the COI tag. Ankoopriya (talk) 10:11, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
