Edit Request - 31 July 2023
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works. |
Since my last change to my own edit request was reverted even though I was asked to do it, I'm not going to modify one of my edit requests again, especially not if it overrides someone else's edit.
I have already provided Wikilinks to all company articles that exist, and additional Wikilinks cannot be added. A content requirement that mandates that, if a claim about a third party is to be added to an existing article, that third party has to be individually notable for inclusion within Wikipedia per Wikipedia:NCORP for that claim to addable to that existing article, does not exist on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia:BALASP mandates that "an article should not give undue weight to minor aspects of its subject", which, however, this article does in its current state. It mixes up investments and fundraising, and, for example, it includes only the third and fourth funds raised, but not the first, second, or fifth funds raised. My edit is an attempt at fixing the Wikipedia:BALASP issue currently present in the article.
The additions that I would like to make to the article are all well-referenced, and all POVs can be attributed to third parties, i.e., reliable secondary sources. Antin's point of view (the "purchaser's pint of view") is not relevant for any Wikipedia articles because Wikipedia is an encylopaedia based on reliable secondary sources, not on article subjects' POVs. If, however, third parties (reliable secondary sources) consider one or multiple aspects of a topic notable enough to cover them, then these sources can be cited to include said notable aspects of that topic.
I'm hereby proposing again the following edit to be made to the currently present investments section. I would like to have it replaced with a newly-written fundraising section, and a new investments section.

Reply 20-OCT-2023
editThere are a lot of remaining issues with this request.
- Many of the provided sources are paywalled. In those circumstances, the text from the source should be provided under the
|quote=parameter of whichever citation template is used. Are there sources left that you deem unsuited
There are residual sources left in the request which are reporting from press releases. Taking a couple of minutes to look at the request,[a] I found two:- the French language L'Agefi source, which states as much in the title
"Antin Infrastructure annonce 31 milliards d'euros d'actifs sous gestion à fin mars"
- The Deal.com
While the parties did not disclose terms, Antin said the deal comes from its €2.2 billion ($2.3 billion) mid cap fund, which writes equity checks between €50 million ($53 million) and €300 million ($315 million).
).
- the French language L'Agefi source, which states as much in the title
- To assist in identifying these, my suggestion would be that whenever a source states anywhere in the text "The company announced", "the company stated", "Antin said" or any such phrasing of that sort, this indicates that the information is not being spontaneously reported by a journalistic source — rather — the source is merely repeating what the company is saying about itself (known as "company-informed sources", because the source is informed of this news by company-issued press releases or statements). These should not be used in such abundance.
- I count a handful of mentioned companies which are still not Wikilinked
- Pisto
- Kellas Midstream
- Taranis
- Indaqua
- Blue Elephant Energy, etc.
Notes
- ↑ There are likely many more to be found in the request. It takes about 30 seconds to peruse a source's text. At that rate, it would take just over 20 minutes to peruse all 41 sources, many of which are paywalled. As a time consideration, it may behoove the COI editor if those 20 minutes were spread over time, by submitting portions of the proposed text as individual, sequential edit requests, rather than submitting them en masse.

Edit Request – 2 November 2023
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello @User:Spintendo, I have checked every individual source and specifically looked out for the kind of phrasing you mentioned, however as it is Antin's main business model to take over other companies and sell them again, it is to be expected that not every acquisition is specifically reported on, while the ongoings still contribute to a comprehensive portrayal of the company's activities. I see your point though, and have removed sources, that are too strongly relying on press releases based on the way the information is presented. I hope the remaining sources are acceptable, I have exchanged one or two for better suited ones. As requested, I also provided quotes from the sources with paywalls, however, often the information was already stated in the beginning of the article, as the rest of the article dives more into the context around the proceedings, which would not be suitable for Wikipedia.
The companies that don't have a Wikipedia page in any language were removed completely, even if there was press coverage for some of those acquisitions.
As the number of sources has been decreased to 20, I decided to give you the whole section again, rather than splitting it up as you suggested. You will see that the text is overall shorter and really focused on the kind of business activity that meets the requirements you explained to me throughout this process. In short:
- All sources that rely heavily on business reporting or press releases have been removed.
- All acquisitions of companies that don’t have their own Wikipedia page (in any language) have been removed, the remaining companies are all Wikilinked
- The sources with paywalls have been provided with a quote
- There is no information anymore that has been taken from primary sources in any way
I hope you are happy with my amendments, and can agree with the sources following my explanation above. I am trying very hard to follow all guidelines you explained to me and improve the article and I hope my edit proves this intention. Best, --Cosmo2023 (talk) 10:38, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

I would like to propse two changes. --Cosmo2023 (talk) 12:42, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Infobox
Antin has a new team of managers:
| key_people =
- Alain Rauscher (CEO)
- Mélanie Biessy (COO)
- Stéphane Ifker
- Angelika Schöchlin
- Kevin Genieser[1]
I know that the source is a press release, but I hope it's okay considering that "key people" is basic information?
- Controversies section
Currently, the controversies section includes text that was directly copied from the cited BBC News article, i.e., it's a copyvio.

I'm not sure whether information regarding Hesley Group should be present in this article; @User:Spintendo, maybe you can provide some help or input?
If it's decided that the section is kept, then I would suggest the following wording:

In 2018, Antin Infrastructure Partners acquired the Hesley Group, which was sold again in 2023.[2][3] Prior to the sale, the Hesley Group, which ran a children's home that has since been closed, had received public criticism for their treatment of the children in their care, as reported by BBC News.[4] |
