Request to correct infobox website type and industry
[edit]| The user below has a request that an edit be made to The Motley Fool. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Summary of request: Correct website type and add industry classification in infobox. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 901 requests waiting for review.Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. |
Specific text to be added or removed:
In the infobox, replace:
| type = Financial advisory services
with:
| type = Investing
And change the existing blank industry parameter:
| industry =
to:
| industry = Investment research
Reason for the change: The current "Financial advisory services" classification does not reflect how The Motley Fool is described by reliable independent sources. Axios describes The Motley Fool as an "investing site," and the Jacksonville Daily Record describes it as an "investing website." The Boston Globe describes The Motley Fool as an "investment research company," and The Wall Street Journal has described it as an "online investment-research company."
