Re-writing? edit
Hi @Drmies:. I did as you suggested and hired @CorporateM: (he says to say hi for him). He went through all of my edits and all of the edits I wanted to make but hadn't yet, in grueling detail. I learned how absolutely none of them complied with Wikipedia's rules. The current page is pretty bad too, because most of the citations are to the SEC, BearingPoint's website, financial data websites, and short blurbs, rather than journalists.
Sorry I came charging into Wikipedia without knowing how it works. I realize I do not have a good track record yet, but I think with CorporateM's coaching, I could come up with a draft that would make the page look more like one of the "Good Article" examples you were referring to. Would you be willing to take a look at a proposed re-write later on? It seems not much of the current page is very salvageable, though I'd make sure to take care to incorporate anything that is into the draft, so as not to unnecessarily undo the work of other editors.
For anyone just now jumping in, I work for BearingPoint. Alex Bock 76 (talk) 16:16, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Haha Alex Bock 76, how much did that set you back? "Grueling detail": sounds like what I just did in my freshman comp class! Here's the thing--I feel kind of misunderstood since I'm volunteering here, and you're paying Corp to tell you things--and then I look at it for free? Hmmm. My Prius needs a brake job, just like his. Also, articles on companies are even more boring than biographies. So I don't mind having a look, but I can't give you the CorpM treatment for the Drmies rate, plus, what do I know about companies? I do poetry and Dutch buildings. The regular "edit request" program, which CorpM knows about, is probably the route you should take. Hey, I'm happy that you learned something, though: that understanding is a good thing. Take care, Drmies (talk) 16:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
