Land Donation

edit

Hello! I'm KD from Oncor, and new to Wikipedia. I joined to ask for help updating the article. In the past, we made some edits without understanding the rules for COI editors. Now, I'll only make requests here for others to review.

Today, I'd like to suggest adding a little bit about Oncor's recent land donation to the City of Dallas, which I think would fit in Social responsibility:

In 2021, Oncor announced a donation of 110 acres of land to the City of Dallas to be used as a public park. It will be the largest donation of land to the city since the 1930s.[1]

Editors are welcome to change as appropriate or ask questions. Again, I won't add this content myself, but hope that if it's appropriate someone can add it on my behalf. Thanks! KD at Oncor (talk) 19:26, 25 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Not done for now; can't access source. That appears to be a reliable source but I can't access it to confirm the content you're requesting to add. Assuming another user with access eventually does, I would recommend adding |url-access=subscription to the cite news template as a courtesy. W.stanovsky (talk) 00:12, 30 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
 Done Accessed the source and confirmed the statements in the proposed wording. Added subscription access parameter to the citation but otherwise used the proposed wording in its entirety. WhinyTheYounger (WtY)(talk, contribs) 03:09, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Corporate PR/chatpot quality

edit

For such a large T&D company, this page is particularly tragic. It reads like bad press clippings and the major projects are certainly not major in the scheme of Oncor's existence.

Persistent vandalism

edit

Looking at the revision history, it appears there has been persistent vandalism by someone using multiple IPs for at least a decade. They often make the same edits, and not all of the errors they introduce are being caught, probably because this is not a high-importance or high-traffic page. I just corrected several (including errors in the title of a source) that were made over three years ago.

I wanted to bring this to the attention of editors more experienced than I am at dealing with such problems. Myself, I'm basically a grammar gnome and not knowledgeable about when a semi-protect is in order (or perhaps adding this person's IPs to the list of known sock puppets). 2600:100A:B12A:3D71:0:17:858:8601 (talk) 14:38, 16 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
