Hello. This is my first time contributing or otherwise posting on Wikipedia, so I apologize in advance if I am doing anything wrong. I am an engineer at SiTime. I am opening this thread because an unauthorized account introduced a major factual error into the article regarding our physical operations, a Undisclosed Paid Editing (UPE) banner, promotional language tone and major corporate milestones missing.
In November 2022, a user unknown to us (Jeromeatwiki) first added, then removed all mentions of our research and engineering center in Dexter, Michigan, claiming in the edit summary that the office had closed. This is factually incorrect; our Michigan facility remains fully active and operational. For reference, see our active hiring postings for the location, such as this current listing for a Senior Infrastructure Software Engineer based on-site in Dexter: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4415597433
Additionally, parts of this article's text has taken on a promotional tone that does not align with Wikipedia's guideline for neutrality.
Furthermore, there have also been major recent corporate milestones, like our February 2026 announcement of the acquisition of Renesas Electronics' timing business, that are missing. Renesas Official Announcement: https://www.renesas.com/en/about/newsroom/sitime-acquire-renesas-timing-business
I would appreciate it if an independent editor could assist in correcting the factual error, rewriting the promotional. I am also happy to provide any further technical or factual documentation needed to clean up any remaining non-neutral language so the UPE banner can be cleared. Thank you.

- I reverted the content removals by Jeromeatwiki. I will leave the rest of your request to other editors.
- Regarding sources: while non-independent sources and primary sources are permitted for minor, non-contentious statements, secondary sources are strongly preferable.

- Regarding the Michigan facility: The University of Michigan's Electrical and Computer Engineering department published a story detailing their Fall 2024 "ECE Expeditions" program, where a group of students visited and toured our Michigan lab: https://ece.engin.umich.edu/stories/students-visit-two-local-semiconductor-companies-in-the-fall-ece-expeditions
- Regarding product context: A trade press overview from Semiconductor Engineering discussing MEMS-based timing architectures: https://semiengineering.com/demand-for-timing-innovation-grows/ , as well as SiTime in general: https://semiengineering.com/tag/sitime/
- I will leave this data here for the community to reference whenever someone has the time to audit the text and address the promotional language. Thank you again! David at SiTime (talk) 19:14, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
