Edit Request

I am requesting these edits on the behalf of missing information currently on the Martinrea Page. Martinrea is an international company with headquarters based out of Vaughan, ON Canada. It is not alone a "Canadian auto parts manufacturer". The information is not accurate on the company and needs to embed more information. Below is the information on the company as well and sites to verify the following facts. Please consider the edits and update the page.

Thank you.

History

Initially known as Royal Laser Tech Corporation with only a few employees, the company formed under the Business Corporations Act as a laser trimming metallic company for store fixtures and fabrications. Martinrea did not become an automotive company until 2001 when founder Rob Wildeboer and two co-founders Fred Jaekel, President of Cosma, and Nick Orlando, Vice President of Cosma finance established the company. In April of 2002, Martinrea purchased Rea International, a fluid system business, and automatically became a tier one supplier for General Motors. In June of 2002, the company officially changed their name to Martinrea International Inc., with Martin representing Fred Jaekel’s son who tragically passed away at a young age, and Rea standing for the family-owned business they had purchased. Growing organically, Martinrea purchased Pilot Industries in December of 2002 adding footprints in the US and Mexico for fluid management systems. Between 2003 and 2004, Martinrea’s credibility grew within their metallic business, winning their first engine cradle program, and fuel and brake lines program from General Motors. In 2005, a portion of Oxford Automotive was purchased, as well as Depco International and ThyssenKrupp Budd’s North American body and chassis operation in 2006, and SKD Automotive in 2009; making Martinrea the second largest metal former in America today. When Honsel, an aluminum components supplier in Europe, went bankrupt in 2010, Martinrea acquired the company in July of 2011. By 2014, Martinrea had their footprint in place with its revenue increasing from $26.5 million in 2001 to $3.6 billion in 2014. By 2016, Martinrea had a successful launch schedule, with over 70 successful launches including opening new locations in Spain, Mexico, Japan, China, and U.S. Presently, Martinrea is currently responding to the rapidly changing automotive industry, unlocking their full product and process capabilities.

  Unable to review  
Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly. Additionally, the references used are to the subject organization. Ideally, sources should come from reliable, WP:SECONDARY sources unconnected to the subject organization. With regards to the formatting:

1. The citation style predominantly used by the Martinrea article appears to be a combination of Citation Style 1 and plain ref tags. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's. Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble either one of the current styles already in use in the article.
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.

Request edit examples

INCORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.

https://www.booksource.com
https://www.journalsource.com
https://www.websource.com

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using ref tags, which is the format predominantly used by the Martinrea article. Additionally, the ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text (using Citation Style 1 as an example) should resemble the following:

CORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2018|page=1}}</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Harinath|first1=Paramjit|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2018|page=46}}</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2018|page=2}}</ref>

Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.

References

---

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the ref tags are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above — taking care to provide references from secondary sources — and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. Also note that if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with Wikipedia's terms of use and the policy on paid editing. If you have any questions about formatting, references, or COI disclosures, please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards,  Spintendo  18:30, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
