Yahoo! ?

For some reason the Yahoo! template links here, can anyone explain why? as the article claims nothing of Yahoo!. --Lumia930uploader (talk) 14:11, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Disclosure

I am a paid contributor and updated part of this page for the company as the information was inaccurate. Djhuff (talk) 11:48, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for making that disclosure. Please do not directly edit the article going forward. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 12:25, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Some proposed changes

I would like to suggested edits to the page that will provide a more complete and accurate company overview.

I suggest adding a new paragraph in the Overview section as follows:

On October 5, 2015, Healthline formed Talix, a wholly owned subsidiary that provides risk management solutions to help physicians, health insurers and accountable care organizations address the challenges of value-based healthcare and risk-based contracts. Talix’s SaaS applications use patient data analytics to turn structured and unstructured health data into actionable insights that improve medical coding accuracy and efficiency for more accurate risk adjustment.

In the next paragraph, immediately following the second sentence that begins with "Under the terms of the agreement", I suggest adding the following:

Talix was spun off from Healthline as an independent, standalone company headed by Dean Stephens, former Healthline CEO, and funded by $14 million in capital from former Healthline investors.

Hi Kjita72, and thank you for your proposed changes. The problem is that the first paragraph you suggested appears to be copied or closely paraphrased from boilerplate text used by Talix in their press releases. Wikipedia is an open-source project: we are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License, which permits our readers to reuse our text for whatever purpose they desire. As a result, copyrighted text for which we lack permission to reuse is incompatible with our free license, and cannot be included in our articles except under extremely limited circumstances as detailed in the Non-free content policy. If you still wish to have this paragraph added to the article, you must rewrite it in your own words. Thanks, Altamel (talk) 23:58, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

COI

This article is among several under discussion at WP:COIN, per a major contributor's general declaration of paid editing, which has not been disclosed for this article in particular. I have tagged the article for COI. The tag should only be removed by an independent editor after he or she has reviewed the article for NPOV, sourcing, and NOTABILITY; who ever does that, please leave a note here. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 11:48, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm not removing the template because I'm not satisfied the article meets NPOV or NOTABILITY yet, but I deleted some stuff that read like advertising material. Flowernerd (talk) 01:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Yes, the Healthline article IS biased, almost gushing.

In its description of the Healthline page as a major source for wellness information, the article neglects to mention that their "wellness" information is very controversial. Healthline is not an evenhanded source of information, and neither is the Wikipedia article ABOUT Healthline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.23.87.121 (talk) 05:35, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Agreed. A casual review of the edit history of this article shows what appear to be repeated (sometimes relentless) edits on behalf of the company (often by anonymous posters), in direct contravention of basic Wikipedia norms, including: WP:NPOV, WP:COI, WP:PRIMARY, and others. Despite the few "Disclosure" comments added here, the extent to which this corporate promotional editing of this Wikipedia article apparently occurs -- by Healthline and its operatives -- approaches the level of criminal corporate vandalism of Wikipedia.
