== Proposed addition: History (2023–2025) ==  

Hello, I propose adding information covering the years 2023 to 2025, which are not currently included in the article. All statements are supported by independent secondary sources listed below.  

I suggest adding the following text at the end of the "History" section:  

Gebr. Heinemann acquired a 50 percent stake in the German beauty distributor NOBILIS GROUP in 2023.

The following year, the company began operating 14 retail stores on Royal Caribbean International’s Icon of the Seas.

Its Dubai office, established in 2023, was designated as the regional headquarters for the Middle East and Africa, as reported in 2025.

Further developments in 2025 included the award of the duty-free concession at Keflavík International Airport in Iceland. Operations also started at Antalya Airport in Türkiye through the ATÜ Duty Free joint venture.  

In addition, duty-free retail spaces were opened at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, via the joint venture JAH Arabia International Duty Free LLC.

Accesso

Requested updates — outdated information (COI disclosure)

Conflict of interest disclosure: I work in marketing at accesso Technology Group. Per WP:COI, I am not editing the article directly and am instead requesting independent editor review of the following proposed updates. All changes are sourced to third-party reliable sources.

Brian Wood (comics)

Request edit: Removal of retracted claim per WP:BLP

I am the subject of this biography and am requesting the removal of a specific sentence in the [Accusations of sexual misconduct] section regarding an accusation made in [2019].

The text currently reads: "In August 2019, Laura Hudson accused Wood of "grabbing" her and "forcing" her into a kiss at a bar in 2007. When approached by Comics Beat regarding the allegations, Dark Horse issued a statement to The Beat saying, "Effective immediately, Dark Horse will not pursue any new projects with Brian Wood." On August 21, 2020, The Comics Journal reported that following Hudson's employment on the Ava DuVernay-helmed adaptation of Wood's DMZ, she deleted the accusations against Wood."

1. 1. 1. Rationale for Removal:

1. **Lack of Reliability and Recency (WP:BLP / WP:RS):** The underlying accusation cited in the article was removed by the original source seven years ago (in 2019). Because the primary source chose to permanently withdraw the claim, maintaining it in this biography serves no encyclopedic purpose and propagates outdated, inaccurate information. 2. **Undue Weight (WP:V / WP:NEUTRAL):** Keeping a long-retracted accusation in a living person's biography violates Wikipedia's neutrality guidelines by giving undue weight to a historical non-event. It distorts the overall balance of the biography.

1. 1. 1. Requested Action:

Please remove the sentence entirely, as the claim is no longer supported by a valid, active, reliable source and violates BLP guidelines regarding contentious material.

Thank you for your time and assistance in keeping this biography accurate and compliant with global policy. Bchristopherwood (talk) 20:49, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Request edit: Trim excessive direct quotes per WP:QUOTEFARM and WP:NPOV

I am the subject of this biography and am requesting a policy-based trim of the [Accusations of sexual misconduct] section to comply with Wikipedia’s Manual of Style regarding direct quotations.

1. 1. 1. Current Text:

"On November 13, 2013, cartoonist Tess Fowler publicly accused Wood of sexual harassment in offering her his hotel room number at a bar encounter during San Diego Comic-Con in 2003.[143] Later that same month, Wood responded to Fowler with an apology, stating in part, "when she declined, that was the conclusion of the matter for me. There was never an exertion of power, no threats, and no revenge... I think the larger issues of abuse in the comics industry are genuine and I share everyone's concerns. I don't want our difference of accounts to take attention away from that industry-wide discussion that needs to happen." Fowler responded in part, "I've forgiven Brian years ago for the following story... I've moved on from what he did. I never asked for a boycott, or blacklisting, as I am being accused. I actually spoke very openly about the opposite. Brian Wood has every right to be a part of comics. To make books and make a living unhindered. I believe that. I also believe his behavior is a symptom of a much bigger disease."[144]"

1. 1. 1. Rationale for Revision:

1. **WP:QUOTEFARM & WP:MOSQUOTE:** The current passage relies entirely on extensive, multi-sentence direct quotes from both sides. Wikipedia’s Manual of Style dictates that information should be summarized concisely in an encyclopedic tone rather than framing a paragraph around large slabs of dialogue. 2. **WP:BALANCED / WP:NPOV:** Over-quoting long, conversational statements from over a decade ago gives disproportionate, non-encyclopedic weight to the specific wording of a settled matter, cluttering the biographical entry.

1. 1. 1. Proposed Encyclopedic Summary:

"On November 13, 2013, cartoonist Tess Fowler stated that Wood had behaved inappropriately by offering her his hotel room number at a social gathering during the 2003 San Diego Comic-Con.[143] Wood subsequently issued an apology regarding the encounter, noting that the matter had concluded at the time without any threats or abuse of power. Fowler accepted the apology, stating that she had forgiven Wood, did not support a boycott or blacklisting against him, and emphasized his right to continue working in the industry.[144]"

1. 1. 1. Requested Action:

Please replace the existing quote-heavy text with the streamlined, policy-compliant summary above to maintain an objective, encyclopedic, and balanced biographical tone.

Thank you. Bchristopherwood (talk) 20:53, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

The Tech Interactive

Request to update leadership information

I have a conflict of interest because I work for The Tech Interactive. I would like to request a factual update to reflect the organization’s leadership.

Suggested text: In November 2020, Katrina Stevens became president and CEO of The Tech Interactive, succeeding Tim Ritchie. She is the first woman and first educator to lead the organization.

If appropriate, please also update the infobox: | leader_title = President and CEO | leader_name = Katrina Stevens

Thank you for considering. Kebarrow (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Request to update exhibits and AI literacy programming

I have a conflict of interest because I work for The Tech Interactive. I would like to request factual updates to the article to reflect current exhibits, galleries and AI literacy programming. I have suggested neutral wording below and used independent sources where available.

Suggested changes

Exhibits

Please consider adding the following paragraph to the “Exhibits” section:

In 2025, The Tech Interactive opened Dream Garden, an AI-powered immersive exhibit created with Design I/O, as a featured exhibit in its AI Sandbox gallery. The AI Sandbox gallery focuses on hands-on exploration of artificial intelligence, including how AI systems process information and respond to visitor input.

Please also consider adding this sentence to the same section:

In 2025, The Tech Interactive opened Innovation in Bloom, a two-story interactive ball wall that promotes experimentation and creative problem-solving.

Please also consider adding this sentence if it is appropriate to include current gallery names:

The museum also added the new gallery, Pixel Playground, in 2025, a space with interactive exhibits that combine digital technology with physical play.

Programs

Please consider adding the following paragraph to the “Programs” section:

The Tech Interactive has hosted National AI Literacy Day programming focused on artificial intelligence education for students, educators and community leaders in 2024, 2025, and 2026. In 2024, The Tech hosted one of three in-person events for the inaugural National AI Literacy Day, in partnership with Stanford Graduate School of Education and other organizations; the event included panels on AI in education and field trips for about 1,100 K-12 students. The Tech was also listed by aiEDU as an organizing partner for later National AI Literacy Day events in San Jose and Washington, D.C.

Please also consider adding the following sentence about adult programming, if the article’s scope allows for current public programs:

The Tech also offers Tech at Nite, an adults-only evening event series featuring after-hours access to exhibits and creative, hands-on activities in partnership with Local Color.

Thank you for considering these updates. Kebarrow (talk) 22:19, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Rory O'Connor (filmmaker)

Edit Request — substantial expansion with new citations.

Conflict-of-interest disclosure: I have a direct working relationship with the subject of this article. Per WP:COI and WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY, I am not editing the article directly and am submitting this for review by uninvolved editors. All proposed replacement text complies with WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:RS. Factual claims are sourced to independent secondary sources; claims sourced to the subject's official biography (roryoconnor.org/about) are used solely for non-contentious biographical facts per WP:SPS and are flagged as such below.

The following seven changes are listed in article order. Each entry gives the exact current wikitext to be removed, followed by the exact wikitext that should replace it.

CHANGE 1 — Lead paragraph

CHANGE 2 — Replace the entire ==Career== section with six new sections

Please change:

Career

During a ten-year stint in print, culminating as Managing Editor of the Boston-area weekly alternative newspaper The Real Paper, O'Connor began working in broadcast journalism as a reporter and producer at WGBH-TV in Boston. He later worked as a producer and investigator at WCVB-TV, Boston; a Program Producer at WGBH; Executive Producer at Boston's Neighborhood Network News; segment producer at the PBS NewsHour; and Producer at CBS News, before co-founding the independent international media firm Globalvision.

O'Connor and Danny Schechter founded Globalvision, a New York City-based TV and film production company. The company created the series South Africa Now. According to O'Connor, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) declined to distribute the program because of its anti-apartheid advocacy. However, Globalvision circumnavigated PBS and went directly to individual public television stations where it was carried in over 150 markets. Crew for South Africa Now were banned from South Africa itself, which made production more difficult.

Schechter and O'Connor later co-produced Rights & Wrongs: Human Rights Television, which aired on American public TV stations and in over 60 countries from 1992 to 1996.

To:

Early life and education

O'Connor was born in New York City. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Boston College and was later a Sagan Fellow at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, and an External Fellow of the Walt Whitman Center for the Culture and Politics of Democracy at Rutgers University.

Print journalism

Prior to his work in broadcast, O'Connor was a print journalist in Boston, writing and holding senior editorial positions at The Boston Globe, The Phoenix, Boston Magazine, and The Real Paper, where he served as Managing Editor. His articles have appeared in such national periodicals as The Atlantic, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, Vogue, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Nation, and Newsweek.

Broadcast journalism

O'Connor moved into broadcast journalism as a reporter and producer at WGBH-TV in Boston, where he reported and produced on-air packages for the station's nightly Ten O'Clock News. He later returned to WGBH as program producer and showrunner of the same program. Between those two stints, he served as a senior producer at WCVB-TV in Boston, contributing to the station's investigative news team, producing documentary films, and producing for its nightly newsmagazine Chronicle. He was later creator and news director of the Neighborhood Network News on Boston cable, a segment producer for the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, and a staff producer at CBS News before co-founding Globalvision.

Globalvision

In 1988, O'Connor co-founded the independent media production company Globalvision in New York City with Danny Schechter.

South Africa Now

Globalvision's first major production was South Africa Now, a weekly half-hour newsmagazine on apartheid-era southern Africa, which debuted in June 1988. After PBS declined to nationally distribute the program, Globalvision distributed it directly to individual public-television stations; by 1990 it was being carried by 80 PBS stations and broadcast in seventeen countries, from Canada and Japan to Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The program's crew were banned from South Africa itself, which complicated production.

In 1991, South Africa Now was awarded a special George Polk Award for broadcast journalism for "defying censors to report on the country's turbulence and violence against its black majority." In November 1990, The New York Times featured the program at a pivotal moment as funding ran out. The series ended its U.S. run in 1991.

Rights & Wrongs: Human Rights Television

O'Connor and Schechter subsequently co-produced Rights & Wrongs: Human Rights Television, a weekly newsmagazine hosted by Charlayne Hunter-Gault that aired on American public television and in more than sixty countries from 1992 to 1996. PBS also declined to nationally distribute Rights & Wrongs; the decision drew criticism from members of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus and from press-freedom observers.

MediaChannel

In 2000, O'Connor and Schechter co-founded MediaChannel.org, a global media-watchdog website; O'Connor served as managing editor and Schechter as executive editor until approximately 2010.

Films

O'Connor has produced, directed, or written more than thirty documentary films.

For PBS Frontline in the early 1990s, he directed, produced, and wrote three films: The Resurrection of Reverend Moon (1992), BCCI: The Bank of Crooks and Criminals (1992), and The Arming of Saudi Arabia (1993).

In 2003, he co-directed and co-wrote The Hole in the Wall, a documentary about Sugata Mitra's "Hole in the Wall" computer experiments in India, with Gil Rossellini; the film was featured in the PBS series Frontline/World.

He was a producer and executive producer on The Harvest (La Cosecha) (2011), a Shine Global / Globalvision documentary on child agricultural labor in the United States directed by U. Roberto Romano, with Eva Longoria among the executive producers.

His film After October 7: A Personal Journey to Kfar Aza (2024) was distributed nationally by PBS.

NOTES FOR THE REVIEWING EDITOR

On the filmography table (Change 6): The existing unsourced list carries a tag dating to November 2023. The replacement table is deliberately limited to entries supported by PBS, PBS Frontline, Variety, or Warner Bros. sources, which resolves the tag without fabricating citations. The fuller career list (thirty-plus films) is linked under External Links via the official site.

On the awards section (Change 3): The five awards with independent footnotes (Polk, Orwell, WGA, Emmys, and the new entries with independent sourcing) are well supported. The remaining eight awards are cited to the subject's official biography per WP:SPS; a note to that effect is included inline. Reviewing editors who wish to independently source any of these awards should find records at the following organizations: the Society of Professional Journalists (Sigma Delta Chi), CINE, the National Association of Black Journalists, the Amnesty International USA media awards program, the United Nations Correspondents Association, and the South Asian Journalists Association.

On South Africa Now (Change 2): Two new independent sources are introduced — a 1988 New York Times review of the program at its debut, and a 1990 Christian Science Monitor feature documenting its international reach. These are stronger than the archived Globalvision pages currently in the article and replace the vague claim that the show reached "over 150 markets" with the more precise and independently sourced figure of 80 PBS stations and seventeen countries as of 1990, with the total market count sourced to Democracy Now!

On the Polk Award year: The current article states the award was given "in 1990"; the New York Times announcement (March 15, 1991) and the South Africa Now Wikipedia article both place the award in 1991. The proposed text corrects this.

On the MediaChannel subsection: O'Connor's role is updated from co-founder only to co-founder and managing editor, consistent with the subject's official biography and independently corroborated by the Schechter NYT and Boston Globe obituaries.

On Children First (ABC / Diane Sawyer): This series is documented on the subject's official site as a national ABC network series of half-hour programs on children's issues, hosted by Diane Sawyer. It has been omitted here because no independent press coverage has been located; it is flagged for reviewing editors who may have access to archived TV listings or press databases.

On the Writers Guild Award: The official biography attributes this award to BCCI: The Bank of Crooks and Criminals. The WGA's own historical records for the Documentary Script – Current Events category show no award given in the year corresponding to that film's release. The award is therefore retained without film attribution until it can be independently confirmed.

OK Blue Jays

COI request: non-free image for 1986 gold record presentation

Disclosure: I am posting this request on behalf of a family member of Jack Lenz, one of the song's co-composers, so there is a family connection to the article subject. For that reason, I am asking uninvolved editors to review rather than adding the image directly.

Request: Please consider whether the article should include a low-resolution, locally uploaded non-free image from the contemporaneous RPM item already cited in the article: the photograph and caption accompanying "A&M gold presented to Jays' manager Williams" in RPM, July 12, 1986, vol. 44, no. 17, p. 2. The source is archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20260519034515/https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/RPM/80s/1986/RPM-1986-07-12.pdf

Suggested placement: Next to the paragraph beginning "By 1986, the single had sold over 50,000 copies..." or immediately below that paragraph.

Suggested caption: A&M gold single presentation for "OK Blue Jays" in 1986. From left: Pat Ryan, Tony Kosinec, Gabriel Lenz, Blue Jays manager Jimy Williams, Joe Summers and Bernie Finkelstein.

Why I think this may satisfy the non-free content criteria: The image is not merely decorative. It is the contemporaneous published visual record of the exact historical event discussed in the article: the gold-record presentation for "OK Blue Jays" after sales exceeded 50,000 copies. It shows the physical gold-record plaques, the Blue Jays manager who accepted the award, and the music-industry figures named in the source caption. A free equivalent is not likely to be available because the event was a specific 1986 presentation documented in a trade publication; a new photograph could not recreate the historical event. A low-resolution crop of just the photo/caption would not substitute for the original RPM issue or the archived PDF, and would be used in only this one article to support readers' understanding of the gold-record paragraph.

Possible file/rationale details if an uninvolved editor agrees: The file should be uploaded locally to English Wikipedia, not Commons, because it would be non-free/fair-use content. A suitable filename might be OK Blue Jays 1986 gold record presentation RPM.jpg. The source should identify RPM, July 12, 1986, vol. 44, no. 17, p. 2, with the archived PDF above. The non-free use rationale should be specific to OK Blue Jays and should state that the image is a low-resolution crop used to illustrate the 1986 gold-record presentation discussed and cited in the article.

I have not uploaded the image myself because non-free files should not be uploaded speculatively; if this request is accepted, the upload and article placement should happen together so the file satisfies WP:NFCC#7. ~2026-29868-50 (talk) 16:23, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Nouman Ali Khan

Conflict of interest disclosure and forthcoming edit request

This LLM-generated text has been collapsed and should be excluded from assessments of consensus.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Conflict of interest disclosure: I am disclosing that I work for Bayyinah Institute, the organisation founded by Nouman Ali Khan. In accordance with WP:COI, I am raising my concerns here on the Talk page rather than editing the article directly. I am not requesting the removal of any sourced material. My concern is one of editorial balance, and I will be following this post with a separate formal edit request containing specific, narrowly scoped proposals that an uninvolved editor can evaluate and accept or decline on the merits.

The "Misconduct allegations and resignation from board" section draws substantially from Hannah Allam's December 2017 BuzzFeed News investigation (currently cited as footnote 10). That article was updated on 21 December 2017 to include four specific, on-the-record rebuttals from Khan's attorney Bruce Turner. The current Wikipedia text reflects only Turner's single general phrase ("unfounded and clearly driven by a damaging motive"), while the panel findings the rebuttals respond to are reproduced in detail. This produces an asymmetry within a single cited source: specific allegations are summarised, but the specific rebuttals attached to them are not.

A similar asymmetry appears elsewhere in the section. Khan's response is reflected as a single sentence, although he posted two distinct Facebook statements on consecutive days, and the second is substantively different from the first and is reported by reliable secondary sources including Dawn, The Express Tribune and 5Pillars. The petition referenced in the section is cited without naming its author, although the panels on the other side of the controversy are named in detail. And published procedural critique from named academics with relevant credentials is not reflected at all.

My intention is not to relitigate the allegations or to soften the article's representation of the reporting. The goal is narrower: that specific rebuttals are represented with the same granularity as the specific allegations they respond to, that documented secondary reporting of Khan's full response is reflected, and that the same standard of source-naming is applied consistently across the section.

I will post a separate {{request edit}} message on this Talk page setting out four discrete, numbered proposals with proposed text and citations, so that an uninvolved editor can review each independently. APopStar (talk) 12:00, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Request for edits to "Misconduct allegations and resignation from board" section

Conflict of interest disclosure (renewed): Further to my earlier post on this Talk page, I am renewing my disclosure that I work for Bayyinah Institute, the organisation founded by Nouman Ali Khan. In accordance with WP:COI, I am proposing these edits here rather than editing the article directly, and I am not requesting the removal of any sourced material. The proposals below aim only to add specifics from sources already cited in the article or from reliable sources of equivalent quality, to improve WP:NPOV balance.

I have organised the requests as four discrete, numbered proposals so that an uninvolved editor can evaluate each on its own merits and accept or decline them independently.

=== Proposal 1: Accurately represent Khan's two Facebook responses ===

The article currently collapses Khan's response into a single sentence ("Khan acknowledged being in contact with women but said all conversations were 'between consenting adults'…"). In fact, Khan posted two distinct statements on consecutive days, and the second is substantively different from the first. Both are reported by reliable secondary sources already used in the article (Dawn) and others of comparable quality (5Pillars, The Express Tribune).

Current text: :Khan acknowledged being in contact with women but said all conversations were "between consenting adults" and were not "inappropriate," explaining he was seeking to remarry after being divorced.

Proposed text: :Khan responded in two Facebook statements posted on 22 and 23 September 2017. In the first, he rejected the allegations as "lies" and said that, having been divorced for nearly two years, his communications with several women were exchanges with marriage prospects "between consenting adults… with my family's knowledge and consent." In a second post the following day, he called for the matter to be examined in "a theatre-free environment" before independent arbiters of the accusers' choosing, and said he was "more than happy to defer to elders in our community as to how to move forward once fair process is given its due."

=== Proposal 2: Expand attorney Bruce Turner's rebuttals from the existing BuzzFeed source ===

The BuzzFeed News article by Hannah Allam (currently cited as footnote 10) was updated on 21 December 2017 to include four specific, on-the-record rebuttals from Khan's attorney Bruce Turner. The article currently reflects only Turner's single general phrase ("unfounded and clearly driven by a damaging motive"). Adding the four specific rebuttals draws on the same source already cited, and addresses the asymmetry whereby specific allegations are reproduced but their specific rebuttals are not.

Add (as a new sentence or short paragraph after Turner's existing quote): :Through his attorney Bruce Turner, Khan also disputed specific elements of the BuzzFeed account. Turner called the allegation that Khan singled out women at Islamic events "preposterous," said the payment described in the clerics' report was a "mutually understood gesture of kindness" rather than hush money and that the recipient had been told she could donate the funds to a charity of her choice, stated that the recipient was not a Bayyinah employee but a volunteer, and said Khan's absence from the 2017 Islamic Circle of North America convention was "based on a difference of opinion on a theological/Islamic studies-related issue" rather than a consequence of the allegations.

=== Proposal 3: Name the source of the petition ===

The article references "a petition condemning the slander of Khan" with "more than 2,500 signatures," cited only to BuzzFeed. The petition is identifiable: it was an open letter by Mohammad Akram Nadwi, dean and academic director of Cambridge Islamic College and a former research fellow at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. Naming the petition's author improves source granularity and parallels the article's existing practice of naming the clerics on the investigating panels.

Current text: :A petition condemning the slander of Khan attracted more than 2,500 signatures.

Proposed text: :An open letter by Mohammad Akram Nadwi, dean of Cambridge Islamic College and a former research fellow at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, who described the allegations as "flimsy and unspecific," attracted more than 2,500 signatures on Change.org and was republished by MuslimMatters on 3 October 2017.

=== Proposal 4: Add one sentence reflecting published due-process critique ===

A 2019 feature in Muslim Views (a South African Muslim community newspaper) included named academics — both of whom had separately signed a letter opposing Khan's invitation to speak in Cape Town — raising specific procedural concerns about how the case was handled. Their concerns are notable precisely because they were sympathetic to the accusers but critical of the process. This is one sentence and presents a documented perspective from named, credentialed sources.

Add (as a new sentence at the end of the controversy section, before the FACE / Islamic Center of Irving paragraph): :Some commentators who otherwise supported the accusers raised procedural concerns about how the case was handled. In a 2019 Muslim Views feature, Aslam Fataar (Stellenbosch University) and Shahid Mathee (University of Johannesburg) — both signatories to a letter opposing Khan's Cape Town speaking engagement that year — argued that the proceedings had "diminish[ed] the importance of due process and an evidence-based approach," noting that no court had heard the matter.

=== Summary ===

To recap, I am proposing four narrowly scoped additions: (1) splitting Khan's response into the two posts he actually made and reflecting the content of the second, (2) adding Bruce Turner's four specific rebuttals from the existing BuzzFeed source, (3) naming the author of the petition the article already mentions and (4) adding one sentence reflecting published due-process critique from named academics.

I am not proposing the removal of any sourced material. I will not edit the article directly. I welcome any neutral editor's review, partial implementation or rejection of these proposals on their merits. APopStar (talk) 12:05, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

GameSir

• What I think should be changed (include citations):

Please replace the entirety of the current article text with the following comprehensively sourced draft.

Infobox Data

Update the existing infobox with the following:

• Industry: Consumer Electronics, Video Game Hardware

• Founded: 2010 (Parent company); 2013 (GameSir

brand)

• Founder: Yao Ma

• Headquarters: Guangzhou, Guangdong, China

• Legal Name: Guangzhou Chicken Run Network

Technology Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 广州小鸡快跑网络科技有限公司; pinyin: Guangzhou Xiaoji Kuaipao Network Technology Co., Ltd.)

• Products: Game controllers, mobile gaming accessories, software

GameSir

GameSir (Chinese: 盖世小鸡) is a consumer electronics brand owned by Guangzhou Chicken Run Network Technology Co., Ltd. Headquartered in Guangzhou, China, the company designs and manufactures video game peripherals, including controllers, mobile gaming accessories, and arcade fightsticks. The parent company was incorporated in 2010, initially focusing on OEM services and international electronics distribution. The GameSir brand launched in 2013, targeting the mobile gaming market with Bluetooth gamepads before expanding to PC and home console peripherals. The company produces cross-platform hardware compatible with personal computers, major consoles, and mobile devices.

History

Guangzhou Chicken Run Network Technology Co., Ltd. was incorporated in 2010. The company operated in the electronics export market as a distributor and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for international clients. In 2013, the company launched the GameSir brand and began marketing direct-to-consumer hardware, starting with the Happy Chick emulator for Android and iOS alongside its first gaming controller, the G1. The product line expanded to include PC and home console peripherals. The company employs between 101 and 200 personnel, with international exports forming a substantial portion of its distribution. GameSir subsequently secured official third-party licensing agreements with Microsoft to manufacture "Designed for Xbox" controllers.

Design and Technology

GameSir's hardware designs incorporate specific engineering features to address input latency and component lifespan:

• The GameSir Mag-Res™ TMR sticks (including the Gen-2 iteration): Utilize contactless magnetic resonance technology to prevent stick drift, providing a theoretically near-infinite lifespan and lower power draw. They are calibrated for high sensitivity and precision comparable to traditional carbon-film sticks, featuring accurate return-to-center mechanics, moderate actuation tension, and rapid response times.

• GameSir™ Movable USB-C Port: The GameSir™ Moveable Type-C Port features a pivoting USB-C connector that tilts at an adjustable angle. This mechanism facilitates the easy insertion and removal of mobile devices, preventing potential physical damage to both the controller's connector and the device's charging port.

• Hall effect sensors: Models such as the G7 SE and Nova series use contactless magnetic Hall effect sensors in analog sticks and triggers to eliminate potentiometer wear and prevent analog stick drift.

• Mechanical switches: Traditional rubber membrane contacts in face buttons and directional pads are replaced with mechanical microswitches to alter actuation distance and tactile feedback.

• High polling rates: PC-focused models, including the Tarantula 8K and G7 Pro 8K models, support wired polling rates of up to 8000 Hz to minimize input delay.

Product Lines

Hardware is divided into three primary categories:

• Console and PC gamepads: Includes asymmetric and symmetric designs. Notable models include the officially licensed G7 series for Xbox and multi-platform controllers such as the Nova series and Tarantula series.

• Mobile gaming: Telescopic controllers that attach to smartphones to convert them into portable gaming systems. The lineup includes the X-series, Galileo series, and the Pocket Taco.

• Software: Hardware mapping and customization are managed through platform-specific applications. PC controllers utilize GameSir Connect, while Xbox-licensed controllers use GameSir Nexus. Mobile controllers interface with the GameSir App. These applications allow users to adjust dead zones, button layouts, and emulation settings.

Partnerships and Esports

• GameSir has collaborated with game studios to produce special-edition controllers tied to specific titles, including Dragon's Dogma 2, Zenless Zone Zero, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, NBA 2K Online, Nioh 3, and Aimlabs. 

• In the esports sector, GameSir sponsors professional players and teams as brand ambassadors. The company produces customized hardware iterations for these partners, including the G7 Pro 8K Championship Edition for Zeng "Xiaohai" Zhuojun, the Tegenaria Lite MenaRD colorway and the Tarantula 8K MenaRD edition for MenaRD, and the G7 Pro 8K Royal2 Edition for Royal2. The company also sponsors competitive player Blaz and maintains an official partnership with the Complexity Gaming esports organization.

Reception

GameSir peripherals have received generally favorable reviews from technology publications, noting the balance of features and pricing. Outlets such as PC Gamer, IGN, and TechRadar have featured GameSir controllers in hardware roundups, highlighting the inclusion of Hall effect sensors in budget-tier products. The primary criticism of this product lies in its failure to meet flagship expectations. Although priced and positioned as a premium controller for competitive gamers, it suffers from a high input latency of mid-teens milliseconds, a core pain point that severely detracts from the competitive experience. Concurrently, the product has faced critiques regarding its industrial design, including a bulky grip, unappealing exterior, and unclear button feedback. These factors collectively diminish its competitiveness in the flagship market.

Vision

To eliminate the performance gap between casual and professional gamers by standardizing esports-grade components across all consumer price tiers. GameSir aims to bridge isolated gaming ecosystems through universal, latency-free input architecture compatible across mobile, PC, and console hardware.

• Why it should be changed:

I am submitting this complete article rewrite on behalf of GameSir. I receive compensation for this formatting in the form of corporate digital tokens as disclosed on my user page. The current article requires structural correction to neutralize promotional language, eliminate first-party marketing bias, and comply with WP:NPOV through the integration of independent secondary citations.

Eaton Fire

External link request — Post-fire debris-flow risk lookup tool

Hi all,

I have a conflict of interest disclosed at my user page (publisher of WaterDamageResponse247.com). Per WP:COIEDIT, I am proposing this addition via the Talk page rather than direct editing.

Specific edit request:

Please add the following bullet to the "External links" section of the article:

* [https://waterdamageresponse247.com/burn-scar-flood-risk-by-zip-california-checker Burn Scar Flood Risk by ZIP — California Lookup Tool] — Free ZIP-code lookup aggregating USGS Post-Fire Debris-Flow Hazard Assessment data for the Eaton, Palisades, Hurst, and Hughes (2025) and Woolsey (2018) burn scars.

Rationale:

• The article discusses post-fire debris-flow risk but does not currently link to a reader-accessible ZIP-level lookup
• The tool aggregates USGS Post-Fire Debris-Flow Hazard Assessment data (same authoritative source typically cited in this article body)
• Provides convenient ZIP-area information for readers in the Eaton burn scar buffer zone
• The tool is free and non-commercial in content (no required signup, no paywall)

Per WP:ELYES point 3 (sites containing neutral, accurate material beyond Wikipedia article scope), this provides ZIP-level granularity beyond what a Wikipedia article would typically include.

If a different placement (e.g., as an inline citation supporting an existing claim about debris-flow risk) would be preferred, I welcome that guidance. I will not edit the article directly.

70seventi (talk) 08:29, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

It appears that the proposed website offers what, at first glance appears to be, similar information to that offered by the USGS. Thus the question is, what makes the proposed website better for the EL section than say, adding the USGS website?  Spintendo  01:14, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Hankook Ilbo

Edit request: change English brand name to Hankookilbo

Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest because I am affiliated with Hankookilbo. I am therefore not editing the article directly and am requesting review by independent editors.

I would like to request a correction to the English brand name used in the article.

The article currently uses “Hankook Ilbo.” However, the company currently uses “Hankookilbo” as its official English brand name. This spelling is used on the company’s official website and in official brand communications.

Requested change: Please change references to “Hankook Ilbo” to “Hankookilbo” to reflect the company’s current official English brand name.

Current wording: Hankook Ilbo

Proposed wording: Hankookilbo

Reason: This is a brand-name spelling correction. The current official English brand name used by the company is “Hankookilbo,” while “Hankook Ilbo” does not match the company’s current official branding.

• Official website: https://www.hankookilbo.com

Thank you, Youngeun Lee. Youngeunlee (talk) 02:08, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi Youngeunlee, thank you for the note. From what I can tell, the official website and all of the social media pages I reviewed are only in Korean, and do not appear to have one or the other as the English brand name. Do you have a link to the English version of the webpage or an English subpage that you can link to, to confirm this? Other English-language news sources from Korea, while not directly from the source, still use "Hankook Ilbo" to refer to the newspaper: Yonhap, TBS, Korea Herald. I have marked this request as answered; please change "answered=yes" to "answered=no" in the {{edit COI}} to reopen this. Best, Spencer^T•C 17:29, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing the request.

I understand the concern regarding third-party English-language sources such as Yonhap, TBS, and The Korea Herald using “Hankook Ilbo.” However, those appear to be each media outlet’s own editorial rendering, rather than the company’s current official brand spelling.

The company’s current official English brand spelling is “Hankookilbo,” written as one word. Although there is no separate English “About” page, the spelling can be confirmed on Hankookilbo’s official website:

• Official company introduction pages:

https://www.hankookilbo.com/company/about/intro/

https://www.hankookilbo.com/company/about/intro_group/

In the CI section of these official company pages, the branding is shown as “hankookilbo group.”

• Official website footer:

https://www.hankookilbo.com/

The footer states: “세상을 보는 균형, 한국일보 Copyright © Hankookilbo.”

Based on these official sources, I would like to clarify that the purpose of this request is not to dispute how some third-party English-language media have referred to the newspaper, but to reflect the company’s current official English brand spelling. I respectfully ask that editors reconsider the requested correction to “Hankookilbo.”

Thank you.

Youngeun Lee.
