COI Edit Request - Update Presentation Count

I am requesting this edit as a representative of Scribd/SlideShare and have a conflict of interest. **Proposed change:**

−

SlideShare is an online platform featuring over 15 million presentations from subject matter experts

+

Slideshare is an online platform featuring 25 million presentations uploaded by subject matter experts.

**Reason:** The current figure of "over 15 million" is outdated. The updated figure of 25 million presentations is cited in a reliable, independent source. **Source:** MediaPost, "Mother Design Rebrands Scribd Modern Look Enhanced" — https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/403758/mother-design-rebrands-scribd-modern-look-enhanced/ Islewis (talk) 20:10, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

URL Update

I am requesting this edit as a representative of Scribd and have a conflict of interest.

• Requested change: Replace the URL in the Infobox with

https://www.scribdinc.com/

• Reason: The current URL is for Scribd the product, this URL is for

the company overall. Thanks! ~~~~ Islewis (talk) 13:49, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Done Completed under the WP:ELOFFICIAL policy with requestor's reasoning. FlammablePizza (talk) 15:54, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Infobox update #2

Hello, I am requesting this edit as a representative of Scribd and have a conflict of interest.

• Request: In the Infobox, change the Subsidiaries field to Products

and add Scribd and Fable.

• Reason: "Subsidiaries" is an inaccurate field, these are products

offered by Scribd, Inc. The company has four products: Scribd, Everand, SlideShare and Fable. This information is already verified in the article body. Thanks, ~~~~ Islewis (talk) 15:29, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Timeline vs History

Does this article need a separate "Timeline" section and "History" section? They both seem to contain exactly the same kinds of stuff in exactly the same format: information about the history of the company, in chronological order.

I propose merging those two sections together. --DavidCary (talk) 15:57, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

@DavidCary: Hi, I'm Isabelle and I work for Scribd, Inc. I wanted to chime in and say that I agree with your assessment, having a History and a Timeline section is redundant and they could be merged. I've been making some edit requests and had planned to suggest something similar in the near future. If you're interested in collaborating on this, I could propose changes. Since I have a conflict of interest, I submit all my changes here for independent review. Thanks, ~~~~
