Sanmina request: edits for infobox
edit| The user below has a request that an edit be made to Sanmina Corporation. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Summary of request: Infobox edits The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 510 requests waiting for review.Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
Hello there, this is a request made for Sanmina Corporation. As I've disclosed on my user page and using the banner above, I'm an employee of the company and have a conflict of interest. Can editors review and make the following updates for the infobox table? The below are confirmed by the 2025 10-K listed in the infobox footnotes and which you can check here.
1. Adding a new image of the company Headquarters, which I've recently added to Wikimedia Commons here: File:Sanmina HQ in 2026.png
2. Adding Original design manufacturers and Data center services to the Industry field:
| − | [[Electronics Manufacturing | + | [[Electronics Manufacturing Services]]<br>[[Original_design_manufacturer|Original design manufacturers]]<br>[[Data center services]] |
Why: Adding "original design manufacturers" helps clarify that (as the article mentions) Sanmina designs and manufactures products for other companies, it isn't manufacturing and selling its own products. Also, adding "data center services", to more specifically call out this that Sanmina provides services to this industry.
3. Adding the company's co-founder Jure Sola to the Founder field:
| − | + | Jure Sola<br>[[Milan Mandarić]] |
Why: Both founders are mentioned in the History but only Mandaric is included in the infobox currently.
4. Adding a Products field and including the following list of products:
| − | + | [[printed circuit board]]s; [[backplane]]s and backplane assemblies; [[cable harness|cable assemblies]]; [[metal fabrication|fabricated metal parts]]; [[microelectronics]]; precision machined parts; plastic injected molded parts; optical components and [[Radio-frequency engineering|RF]] |
Why: Provides an overview to readers about the types of products the company manufactures, without having a big list within the main article text.
5. Adding a Services field and including the following list of services:
| − | + | [[product design]] and engineering; direct order fulfillment and logistics; [[Aftermarket (merchandise)|after-market product]] service and support; [[supply chain management]] and manufacturing |
Why: Similar to the above, provides an overview to readers about the types of services provided by the company, keeping this a succinct list.
6. Adding ZT Systems into the Divisions field:
| − | Viking Technology, SCI, Viking Enterprise Solutions, 42Q | + | Viking Technology, SCI, Viking Enterprise Solutions, 42Q MES, ZT Systems |
Why: ZT Systems was acquired and became a division of Sanmina in 2025. The completion of the acquisition of ZT Systems is confirmed by this reference: [1]

- User:Ptrnext I saw in the page history that you've maintained financials etc. in the infobox most recently, I hope it's ok to see if you'd review this infobox edit request? DarrenPress Sanmina (talk) 17:37, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
- It looks like User:Ptrnext hasn't been on Wikipedia lately, so I wanted to ask if User:Ksu6500 or User:Ash.tahno can take a look, as you're the most recent editors in the page history. I've also been looking around at WikiProjects to see if there is a relevant and active place to look for help, and the ones I've looked at don't seem like they have a lot of editors responding to posts, so if anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it!

Sanmina request: better sourced early History
edit| The user below has a request that an edit be made to Sanmina Corporation. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Summary of request: Replacing first paragraph of History with properly sourced details The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 510 requests waiting for review.Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
Hello there, this is a request made for Sanmina Corporation. I am an employee with a paid conflict of interest with this Wikipedia article. While I'm waiting for review of the infobox edits, I've been working on putting together some other edits to this article to fix some issues like poor sources or missing sources.
To start with, the first paragraph of the History has just two sources: one of which is a YouTube link and the other is an archive link to an old page on the Sanmina website. In my draft, I've tried to keep the main points, and add missing milestones and context, while adding sources: books, news coverage, and an SEC link to confirm the month for the IPO. If a source wasn't online, I included a quote in the citation template to verify the specific detail.
Here's a comparison of the current paragraph vs. my draft (I've just included the text, not the formatting and citations to make it easier to read):
| − | Sanmina was founded by Jure | + | Sanmina was founded by Jure Sola and Milan Mandarić in 1980 as a manufacturer of printed circuit boards. It later expanded into manufacturing backplanes and backplane subassemblies. By 1989 the company's revenue had grown to around $60 million and it was focused on providing electronics manufacturing services for several customers in the telecommunications industry. That year, Sola led a management buy-out of his co-founder's share in the company with investment from Morgan Stanley and became its president. In 1991, Sola became Sanmina's chairman and CEO.In the 1990s original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) had increasingly begun outsourcing production to firms like Sanmina. Sola was able to rapidly grow the company in the early 1990s by focusing on providing contract manufacturing, and Sanmina established itself as an electronics manufacturer for OEMs. The company increased its annual revenue by more than $20 million over the 5 years following the management buy-out. In February 1993, the company went public. |
Here's just the draft of the new proposed paragraphs and suggested subheading, with the formatting and citations:
- Founding and early years
- Sanmina was founded by Jure Sola and Milan Mandarić[2] in 1980 as a manufacturer of printed circuit boards. It later expanded into manufacturing backplanes and backplane subassemblies.[3] By 1989 the company's revenue had grown to around $60 million and it was focused on providing electronics manufacturing services for several customers in the telecommunications industry. That year, Sola led a management buy-out of his co-founder's share in the company with investment from Morgan Stanley and became its president.[4][5] In 1991, Sola became Sanmina's chairman and CEO.[4][6]

Hello. I have a conflict of interest because I am the remixer/producer of the official remix mentioned below. I am therefore not editing the article directly and would like to request review by an uninvolved editor. I would like to propose adding neutral, sourced information about the official remix of “Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)”. Suggested text: “In [2026], an official remix of ‘Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)’ by [Al Päär] was released by [Iceberg Records].” Sources:

Update: Production and Manufacturing
edit![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. |
Hi all, I would like to suggest an update to the section. First, Schott Pharma now has locations across 15 countries instead of 14. Second, I propose replacing the current list structure (which is both incomplete and inaccurate) with a summary of Schott Pharma's production locations. Then the incomplete template could also be removed.
Proposed text:
- The company is headquartered in Mainz and operates in 17 locations across 15 countries. Its main manufacturing activities are located in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
- In Europe, the company’s production sites are located in Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Serbia, Russia, Italy, and France.
- Schott Pharma operates production facilities in the United States and in Mexico, and in South America in Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia.
- In Asia, it operates productions in China, Indonesia, and India (through a joint venture with the Serum Institute of India and TPG).

edit- Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY.
Regards, Spintendo 13:02, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Spintendo, thanks for reviewing the edit request. I may not have explained my intention clearly enough. My aim was to replace the existing list-style “Production & Manufacturing” section with a concise prose summary, not to add to the list.
- I would also be happy with a shorter version, for example:
- == Production and Manufacturing ==
- Schott Pharma is headquartered in Mainz, Germany, and operates manufacturing sites across Europe, North America, South America and Asia.[38]
- Its business is divided into two divisions: …
- == Production and Manufacturing ==
- Would this address the WP:NOTDIRECTORY concern? Thanks in advance. Elisabeth at SCHOTT (talk) 08:15, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
Revised edit request: concise manufacturing summary

Hi, I would like to submit a narrower version of my previous request, taking into account the concern raised under WP:NOTDIRECTORY. I am asking to replace the list of manufacturing sites in the "Production and Manufacturing" section with a brief prose summary.
Suggested replacement:
- Schott Pharma is headquartered in Mainz, Germany, and operates manufacturing sites in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia.[39]
This would avoid a directory-style list while still giving readers a concise overview of the company’s manufacturing footprint. Thanks for considering this revised request. Elisabeth at SCHOTT (talk) 09:14, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

I suggest we remove "A secretive group," from the introduction, as this general claim is neither referenced there nor covered in the article.
- 3. Intro
| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Instead of the phrase "A secretive group", I suggest we add "Since 2019," for context and to avoid wp:recentism.
Looking forward to any questions or concerns so far. Many thanks, /Urbourbo (talk) 10:13, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
- I agree with the suggestion that instead of the phrase "A secretive group", I suggest we add "Since 2019," for context and to avoid wp:recentism, and as previously mentioned "secretive group," claim is neither referenced there nor covered in the article. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 05:27, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
- I've restored "secretive". I agree that it needs to be addressed in the article body. Please read the main references at least. --Hipal (talk) 17:22, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
- Wouldn't it be more in line with WP:LEAD to remove the "secretive" claim as long as it's actually not supported elsewhere in the current version of the article? /Urbourbo (talk) 23:01, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
- Apologies for my not adding some basic coverage to the article body yet, based upon the main references. It appears to be an aspect of their notability. --Hipal (talk) 18:41, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
- I have moved the references for "secretive group" to the article body, and found theology section appropriate.
- I have summarized & paraphrazed the relevant content from NY Times: The Science of Identity Foundation, a secretive offshoot of the Hare Krishna movement... Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 02:20, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks both for constructive responses here. Given the strong source support, I can't argue against including "secretive" in the body text, and I appreciate the (indirect) attribution ("has been considered"). However, is it really and objectively a prominent enough trait of the subject to merit inclusion in the lead as well? Perhaps we could reach consensus to satisfy with the mention in the Theology chapter? Thanks, /Urbourbo (talk) 13:50, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
- Reading up on WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV, I believe that the "secretive group" opinion needs in-text attribution to stay policy compliant. Hence, my suggestion would be to switch the phrase "SIF has been considered a secretive organization" to: "SIF has been considered a secretive organization by authors in The Atlantic and The New York Times".
- Also, I can't find support in the references for the second half of that sentence about SIF obfuscating its views. Hence, unless I'm missing anything here it seems we need to remove that part of the sentence, also considering that Butler's relation to islam is already mentioned earlier in the same paragraph. Thanks, /Urbourbo (talk) 13:05, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
- I suggest reading more of the sources to start. This article has a long history of editors removing proper sources (See Talk:Science_of_Identity_Foundation#Potential_refs) in order to steer the POV against policy. --Hipal (talk) 17:58, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
- Well, I used obfuscate is in the context of denying, from the New Yorker article. i can add that ref.
- I guess, disavow is better based on the sources. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 21:25, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
- Circling back to my WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV question here. Any feedback on my suggestion above from May 5 would be appreciated. I believe your responses only related to the second part of my latest message. Thanks, /Urbourbo (talk) 16:07, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Can you be more specific about what statement is your concern, and possible suggestions. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) RogerYg (talk) 16:37, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks, happy to clarify. The point I'm trying to make is, that the "secretive" phrase is an opinion rather than factual, and hence needs to be attributed in the text, per WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV. But I'm now realising that in order to suggest more specific wording that makes sense, I need to understand which of the sources that support "disavows" - but some of the sources were paywalled. Any chance you could clarify which source you drew that from? /Urbourbo (talk) 17:51, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Hi /Urbourbo,
- Actually, I agree with you that "secretive group" is more of opinion, rather than factual, and therefore I suggest adding a qualifier: purportedly secretive group
- We could also use reportedly or supposedly.
- Regarding "disavow", I used the New Yorker article, which mentions that Butler denies the charges of homophobia and Islamophobia.

- Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 18:04, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Whose opinion is it, and how is it presented? We should be careful not to change the pov against sources to meet coi requests. --Hipal (talk) 18:28, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Many thanks @RogerYg, to add "purportedly" as per your suggestion sounds like a reasonable solution to me. Would it work to change these phrases:
- "Since 2019, the secretive group has come under [...]"
- "SIF has been considered a secretive organization that disavows [...]"
- ...to:
- "Since 2019, the purportedly secretive group has come under [...]"
- "SIF is purportedly a secretive organization. They have disavowed [...]"

Proposal rejected for reasons stated. This article has a long history of editors attempting to ignore or downplay references. Let's not continue that.
And please review past comments of this very topic. --Hipal (talk) 00:13, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, I have already accepted that several reliable sources have described the organization as secretive. I am not suggesting that these should be ignored or downplayed, and it's good that this is now supported by inline citations.
- My suggestion was simply to add attribution in the text so that the characterization is clearly tied to the relevant sources. However, I was also happy with @RogerYg's alternative suggestion to use the word "purportedly" instead, or another similar wording that clarifies that the characterization originates from sources.
- I'll leave it to uninvolved editors to determine whether attribution or a similar qualifying formulation would improve the wording. /Urbourbo (talk) 21:13, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- You're both wasting time by ignoring the past discussions. --Hipal (talk) 22:35, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- Reliable sources, not anonymous editor's personal views, determine whether content in those sources is factual or opinion. The notion the group is secretive is stated as fact in the sources. Cambial — foliar❧ 23:47, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
Regarding my point 1 above on sourcing, I'll add these with a coi edit myself soon unless there are any objections or concerns here. /Urbourbo (talk) 23:01, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
- 4. Association with Tulsi Gabbard
| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
In this final section, I suggest to repeat the year for the same reasons as above. I.e. at the end of this sentence: "SIF has received a great deal of media coverage due to Tulsi Gabbard's strong ties with the group" add "since 2019". Thanks in advance, /Urbourbo (talk) 14:01, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Edit request: corrections and additions (disclosed paid editor)
edit| The user below has a request that an edit be made to Sean Mason. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Summary of request: Correct several factual errors and add missing sourced information about recent albums, awards, and education The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 510 requests waiting for review.Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
I am a paid editor working on behalf of Sean Mason. Per WP:PAID, I am disclosing this conflict of interest and am not editing the article directly. I have already made this disclosure on my user page. Please review the following itemized requests, each with a source. I've kept each change small and specific to make review easier, and I'm happy to answer questions about any of them.
1. Lead section: factual corrections
editCurrent text:
- Sean Mason is an American jazz pianist, composer, and record producer. He was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2024 and has been the recipient of a Bessie Award and Bistro Award. In 2023, he released his debut album, The Southern Suite, and in 2024 co-released Chrome Valley with Mahogany L. Browne's and My Ideal with Catherine Russell. In 2025, he released, A Breathe of Fresh Air.
Requested text:
- Sean Mason is an American jazz pianist, composer, and record producer. He has been nominated for a Grammy Award, and is the recipient of a Bessie Award and Bistro Award. In 2023, he released his debut album, The Southern Suite; in 2024, he co-released Chrome Valley with poet Mahogany L. Browne and My Ideal with vocalist Catherine Russell. In 2025, he released A Breath of Fresh Air.
Reason: Three factual/grammar corrections:
- "nominated...in 2024" is misleading — the nomination was announced for the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, held February 2025.[1]
- "Mahogany L. Browne's" has a stray possessive.
- "A Breathe of Fresh Air" is a misspelling; the correct title is "A Breath of Fresh Air".[2]
2. Early life and education: add missing details
editCurrent text ends with:
- ...At age 17, Mason won the inaugural McGlohon Young Jazz Competition, an award that included an opportunity to perform as guest soloist with Delfeayo Marsalis.
Requested addition (new paragraph after that sentence):
- In 2016, Mason enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where he studied jazz under John Salmon. In 2017, while attending UNC Greensboro, Mason met Branford Marsalis, who was giving lessons there...
Reason: Adds his undergraduate enrollment year and named teacher, which the current article omits. Also note the competition's full name is the "Loonis McGlohon Young Jazz Competition."[3]
3. Career section: correct Broadway role description
editCurrent text:
- In theater, Mason has been involved in various musical roles in Broadway productions such as Hadestown and Phantom of the Opera and has served as music director for The Soapbox Presents, a Harlem-based performing arts organizabtion.
Requested text:
- In theater, Mason has contributed to Broadway productions, serving as on-call pianist for Hadestown and as music copyist for The Phantom of the Opera. From 2020 to 2024, he served as Artistic Director of The Soapbox Presents, a Harlem-based performing arts organization.
Reason: Fixes a typo ("organizabtion"), and corrects/specifies his roles — he was Artistic Director of Soapbox Presents (not "music director"), and his Broadway roles were specific (on-call pianist / music copyist), not general.[4]
4. Career section: add reception detail for The Southern Suite
editRequested addition (end of Southern Suite paragraph):
- ...received favorable reviews.[19] The Bitter Southerner named it one of the Best Southern Albums of 2023.[5]
5. Career section: replace vague sentence about A Breath of Fresh Air
editCurrent text:
- Later that same year Mason released, A Breath of Fresh Air, which received a fair amount of radio airplay and favorable reviews.
Requested text:
- Later that same year, Mason released A Breath of Fresh Air on Taylor Christian Records. The album debuted at number four on the JazzWeek chart[6] and was included in Goldmine's "Best of the Best" jazz releases of 2025.[7]
Reason: Replaces an unsourced, vague claim ("a fair amount of airplay") with specific, cited facts.
6. Discography section: add missing sourced entries
editThe article currently has no dedicated Discography section. I'd suggest adding one, sourced to the reviews/announcements already cited elsewhere in the article and above:
- As leader
- The Southern Suite (2023)
- A Breath of Fresh Air (2025)
- As co-leader
- Chrome Valley — with Mahogany L. Browne (2024)
- My Ideal — with Catherine Russell (2024)
7. Awards section: add Bessie Award detail and fellowships
editThe article mentions Mason is a Bessie Award recipient but doesn't specify what it was for. Requested addition:
- The Bessie Award was for Outstanding Sound Design and Music Composition (39th Annual Bessie Awards, 2023), awarded for The Jazz Continuum (with Charles Turner).
I'd also suggest adding, if editors agree it is due weight:
- Mason received a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works Grant in 2025, and was named an Arts & Science Council Creative Renewal Fellow in 2026.
8. External links section
editRequested additions to the External links section — official site and verifiable database/social profiles:
- Sean Mason official website
- Bawolff/Edit COI Summary/10 per page (alphabetical)/42 discography at Discogs
- Official website (Bandcamp)
I did not include social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube) in this request, since Wikipedia's external links guideline (WP:ELMINOFFICIAL) generally allows only one official social link if it's the primary channel, and I'd defer to reviewer judgment on which one (if any) is appropriate to include, per WP:ELOFFICIAL.

Partly done: I've enacted some of the requested changes- copyediting was done and added things like "The Bitter Southerner named it one of the Best Southern Albums of 2023."
which were cleanly verified and appeared in what seems to be a reputable publication. Other requests I did not enact. For example, I don't see the provided UK Jazz News source discussing any charts or rankings, so I have not added"The album debuted at number four on the JazzWeek chart"
. I am also a little wary of extra specificity about his Broadway work based on a source that seems to be a musical artist promoter company. Thank you for disclosing your COI and using the edit request process. Zzz plant (talk) 20:01, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
Edit request: Add additional review scores

I have a conflict of interest regarding this article (see disclosure on my user page), so I'd like to propose the following change via an edit request rather than making it myself:
Proposal: In the {{Video game reviews}} table in the "Release and reception" section, add two additional reviewers whose scores are already cited in the prose:
- Retro Dodo: 8.5/10
- Daily Nintendo: 4/5 stars
Specifically, the table would change as follows:
Current: {{Video game reviews |NWR=9/10<ref name="NWR"/> }}
Proposed: {{Video game reviews |NWR=9/10<ref name="NWR"/> |rev1=Retro Dodo |rev1Score=8.5/10<ref name="RetroDodo"/> |rev2=Daily Nintendo |rev2Score=4/5 stars<ref name="DailyNintendo"/> }}
Both sources already have full citations in the prose (or will be added with named refs). Retro Dodo is listed at WP:VG/RS. Thanks for checking! Attackemartin (talk) 09:24, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
Not done: The {{request edit}}template is for requesting changes to semi-protected pages. For conflict of interest requests, please use{{Edit COI}}instead. I've edited the template to the correct one for you already. pattersonuwu njz (talk) 14:43, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
