redundant phrasing

As of the 00:10, 14 June 2021 edit, the article contained the following text:

Information Handling Services (IHS) ... was founded in 1959 as Information Handling Services ...

The above text was introduced in the the 04:56, 3 October 2018 edit of this article, but the cited article (from referenceforbusiness.com, which is blacklisted on the Perennial Sources page under the Advameg entry) actually states

IHS was founded in 1959 as Information Handling Services ..."

which at least is not literally redundant.

Presumably, the Technical Services Division of Rogers Publishing) ... was spun off in 1961 as Cahners, but it can be difficult to follow exactly what they are saying. Fabrickator (talk) 03:02, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

IHS Markit → AccurisAccuris – Accuris is the new name of the corporation. Jax 0677 (talk) 23:18, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

• Any WP:IRS to show evidence of a new WP:COMMONNAME after that alleged WP:NAMECHANGE? Please note that the article does not currently mention "Accuris" anywhere, and I also could not find "Accuris" at http://www.ihsmarkit.com. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:58, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

  Weak oppose: Firstly, those are not independent sources; they are self-published (a company press release and a company website). They are not WP:IRS and they provide no evidence of a new WP:COMMONNAME. Additionally, they seem to show that IHS Markit and Accuris are different subjects, not different names for the same subject. Those pages say that Accuris "was formerly known as S&P Global's Engineering Solutions division". They do not say that Accuris is the new name of IHS Markit. In fact the press release refers to "IHS and IHS Markit" as "previous owners" of what is now Accuris. There is a different article about S&P Global. Moreover, most of the content of https://global.ihs.com/ is actually branded as S&P Global. For example, its footer notice says "S&P Global uses cookies ...", and links to a privacy policy that says "S&P Global Inc. and its affiliates (collectively or individually, as applicable, referred to as "S&P Global", "we", "our", "us") respect your right to privacy. ..." and a cookie policy that says "This Cookie Notice applies to S&P Global Inc. and its affiliates, which you have a contract with or which provide services to you, (collectively or individually, as applicable, referred to as "S&P Global", “Company”, "we", "our", "us") and the S&P Global websites and applications at or linked to from www.spglobal.com ("Websites")." Overall, its kind of strange. The press release says Accuris is now a "standalone company", but its website address https://www.accuris.co redirects to the S&P Global website at https://www.spglobal.com/engineering/en/index.html, and most of what is there is presented as S&P Global. So it doesn't really look or act like a standalone company. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:51, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Incorrect Redirect of IHS Markit to this page

Hello, Please change the redirect of IHS Markit to S&P Global from the current page.

There appears to be a persistent incorrect redirect affecting the page for IHS Markit. When navigating to the IHS Markit page, it is incorrectly redirecting to the Accuris page. This is incorrect. IHS Markit was acquired by S&P Global, and its history is now part of the S&P Global article. Accuris is a separate company that was divested from IHS Markit during the merger.

Thank you. 147.161.225.13 (talk) 11:49, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

• Accuris (currently a redirect to KKR & Co.) → IHS Markit – Restoring to former notable article Update6 (talk) 12:06, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

  This article was moved back in January by @Shortride, there have been many edits since then, and nobody contested the move. This seems to be the new name of the company, so why do you think it should be changed back? Fortek67 (talk) 10:33, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

  This is damn complicated, and going on over two hours for me to sort out. Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) was acquired by IHS Energy in 2004. In 2009 it modified its name to IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates (IHS CERA) as part of the IHS brand integration in which name changes also took place for other endorsed brands under IHS, including IHS Jane's, IHS Global Insight, IHS EViews, and IHS Herold. In November 2020, S&P Global acquired IHS Markit analytics company in a $44 billion transaction, and CERA is now part of S&P Global Energy. In 2023, S&P sold the former IHS engineering operations to KKR & Co., which rebranded as Accuris. We can't retarget IHS Markit to both S&P Global and Accuris, and as this is not an ambiguous topic (there was only one company ever named IHS Markit), seems to me the only solution is to resurrect the article about the now-historical company. I'm working on it. – wbm1058 (talk) 16:24, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

  The name of the S&P division that was sold was Engineering Solutions (capitalized), per this article. "Engineering Solutions became part of S&P Global following the company's merger with IHS Markit early last year". The division then became Accuris. --Gert7 (talk · contribs) 20:21, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
