Hello. I'm Alex Mao, Head of Public Relations at HeyGen. I have a paid conflict of interest, disclosed on my AlexMao24, so I'm requesting these changes rather than making them myself. These are small factual and formatting corrections; I plan to post a separate request for content updates later.
1. Short description
- Current: "Avatar-generating machine learning model"
- Proposed: "American AI avatar video company"
- Reason: HeyGen is a company, not a machine learning model. The infobox and lead already describe it as a company.
2. Categories
- Remove: Category:Text-to-image generation and Category:Deep learning software applications
- Add: Category:Companies based in Los Angeles
- Reason: HeyGen produces video, not images, and the removed categories describe software applications rather than companies. The article states the company is headquartered in Los Angeles.
3. Incorrect link in the History section
- Current:
originally named [[Surrealism|Surreal]] - Proposed: originally named Surreal (unlinked)
- Reason: The link points to the art movement, which is unrelated to the company's former name.
4. See also section
- Proposed: Remove the "See also" section, which currently lists only Tinder (app).
- Reason: Tinder is unrelated to HeyGen. Avatar (computing) is already linked in the lead, so no replacement is needed per MOS:SEEALSO.
5. Description of Group-IB
- Current: "Russian cybersecurity analysts Group-IB"
- Proposed: "cybersecurity firm Group-IB"
- Reason: Group-IB is headquartered in Singapore and has exited Russia.[1]
