The following are detailed notes explaining all of the changes the proposed draft would make compared to the current page

Infobox

edit
  • Consolidated Key People to just the CEO
  • Removed "Industry" since it was mostly redundant with "Type of Site" (both said file sharing)
  • Updated revenue and employee numbers using the latest annual report
  • Removed a New York Times citation, since it was replaced by a more recent headcount from the annual report, but incorporated the New York Times citation into the History section, so the citation is not lost.

Lead

edit
  • Expanded in order to summarize the entire page

History

edit
  • For each funding round, removed long lists of investors and unnecessary primary sources
  • No pre-existing facts/information was removed, other than those noted in the prior bullet.
  • Substantially reworked/expanded with more/better citations, better paragraph structure, more information, more recent history, etc.

Software / Business Model

edit
  • Renamed Business Model section to Features to align with the content of the section
  • Removed/replaced citations to our privacy policy and other primary sources used to summarize features; instead used two book chapters, some press articles, and a few analyst reports.
  • Removed list of clients as promotion/trivia/directory information
  • Removed lists of subscription levels and devices supported
  • Generally expanded with more information and quality citations summarizing what the software/service does

Events

edit
  • Consolidated one sentence section into the Features section

See also

edit
  • Trimmed the list down to just a few links, as the list had gotten excessive and was largely just linkbait for competitors.
