I have a CoI and therefore cannot edit the page directly as I am employed by the company. The Travelport page is out of date. The 'History' section makes no reference to the company listing on the NYSE (although this is listed at the top of the article). Please could financial numbers be updated to 2017 numbers. https://www.travelport.com/company/media-center/press-releases/2017-12-13/travelport-achieves-ground-breaking-iata-ndc-level-3 also provides details of an important, recent certification. 85.115.52.180 (talk) 16:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

  1. ^ This portion of your request could not be implemented because the reference is not accessible.
  2. ^ This reference originates from employee surveys which are not reliable sources. Nevertheless, the information was updated in the infobox, where oftentimes numerical figures are allowed to remain without reference (allowed by practice — not by policy).
  3. ^ This part of the proposal is insufficiently paraphrased from the source material. The information was therefore added as a direct quote.
  4. ^ The use of the word "now" was omitted. (See WP:EPHEMERAL.)
@Spintendo: I'm able to access the first source, so I added that. LittlePuppers (talk) 22:15, 6 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
