Howard J. Buss

Edit Request

• Subject Disclosure: I am Howard J. Buss, the subject of this article. I am requesting these edits to provide independent verification for the "Early life and education" and "Awards" sections to resolve the maintenance banner added in October 2025.
• Background of request: This Wikipedia page about my work as a composer was severely trimmed on October 10, 2025 by one editor in particular. I visited the page versions prior to that date and see that all of the information was factual, just not properly sourced.
• Below I will provide some of the links to references. At one point the lists of my compositions and recordings was severely pared. I see nothing wrong with what was posted when comparing what was there with other composer Wikipedia pages such as that about Erik Ewazen. I appreciate your help in fixing the issues.

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

*Financial problems (cont.)*

In 2005, the company restructured under a plan that transferred ownership to creditors, thereby discharging much of its debt.

Consolidating Repetitive Exhibition and Collection Lists

Hugh O'Donnell here! I am trying to clarify the text representing me on wikipedia. I need to remove repetative information that I've seen in the the second and third paragraphs in the life and work section. I would like it to read thus:

Although exhibiting regularly in solo and group shows since 1975, O’Donnell gained international recognition after his inclusion in the 1980 exhibition British Art Now: An American Perspective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. He has since exhibited extensively throughout the United States, Japan, Europe, and the United Kingdom, including presentations at the Royal Academy of Arts, London; the XLII Venice Biennale, Italy; and the IV Medellin Biennale, Colombia. His work is held in numerous permanent museum collections internationally, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Tate Gallery, London; the Victoria and Albert Museum; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto; the Yokohama Museum of Art; the Albright-Knox Art Gallery; and the Denver Art Museum.

Humana

2013 promotional content tag

Hello! I'm E, a representative for Humana. I saw that this article had a promotional tag on it that is over a decade old. Specifically, it mentions "removing promotional language and inappropriate external links"

I looked into the history and the tag seems to be pertaining to an old "Humana's Prescription Home Delivery" section with a link to the service both in the reference and in the External links section. You can see it here

That section and link have since been removed and editors will see the page overall has been substantially changed since the tag was added in 2013. Would an editor remove this tag? Because of my conflict of interest, I will not make direct changes to the article. Thanks! E Humana (talk) 20:43, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I'm unclear why the tag was added. There's no edit summary nor corresponding talk page discussion.

Skimming the current references, it appears the article is heavily dependent upon press releases and similarly poor and promotional sources. Given this, the template still seems to fit, specifically, adding encyclopedic text written from a neutral point of view. --Hipal (talk) 21:34, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

The Promotional tag has to do with marketing-style or showboating language in the article, not the use of suboptimal sources. I have scanned the article for such and found nothing that is a particular problem that would require this tag, and have removed the tag. If anyone wants to add better citations, have at it. Stefen 𝕋ower ^{Huddle • Handiwerk} 18:20, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

My understanding of the general consensus around the use of the tag is not consistent with your interpretation. I've added a third-party tag after skimming over the first 15 refs and finding many problems. --Hipal (talk) 20:01, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

My understanding of the general consensus is what I stated, having been a Wikipedian for nearly 22 years. The third-party tag is a reasonable tag. Just because citations are insufficient doesn't mean "promotion" is happening to the degree where we would have a concern that demands a Promotional tag. Stefen 𝕋ower ^{Huddle • Handiwerk} 20:05, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

I'm glad we agree on the way forward. --Hipal (talk) 16:46, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Edit request Oct 21

Thanks Hipal I see what you mean! I did some research and found sourcing more in line with what Wikipedia requires. The draft can be found in my user space, a quick breakdown is as follows:

Extended content

Kept sentence, added new source:

• In 1993, Humana had become the largest hospital operator in the country, owning 77 hospitals.
• Humana is the official health benefits provider of the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.
• In 2001, Humana was a cofounder of Avality.
• In May 2011, Humana announced it would be using mobileStorm to transmit protected health information to patients.
• In July 2015, Aetna announced that it would acquire Humana for $37 billion in cash and stock (approximately $230 a share at that time). Aetna and Humana shareholders would own 74% and 26% of the new combined company, however the merger was blocked by a federal judge in January 2017.
• In December 2019, the company announced it would acquire Enclara Healthcare from Consonance Capital Partners and Enclara management.
• In February 2023, Humana announced they were exiting the employer-based commercial group insurance market.
• Humana is the presenting sponsor of the Grand Ole Opry and the National Senior Games.
• Since 1979, Humana has been a principal sponsor of the annual Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville, Kentucky.
• On December 22, 2022, the Department of Defense announced the award of the managed care support contract for the TRICARE East Region to Humana Military.
• On May 30, 1996, Linda Peeno, a physician who was contracted to work for Humana for nine months, testified before Congress as to the downside of managed care. Peeno said she was effectively rewarded by her employer for causing the death of a patient, because it saved the company a half-million dollars. Peeno stated that she felt the "managed care" model was inherently unethical.
• In July 2018, Humana joined two private equity firms in the acquisition of Kindred Healthcare. The deal provided Humana with a 40% stake in the company's home health, hospice and community care businesses, called "Kindred at Home," for approximately $800 million.

Note: This had a Forbes Contributor source and the other source did not verify 100% of the sentence, so I swapped Forbes with Fierce Healthcare.

• In 2021, Susan Diamond, formerly occupying an interim position, was announced to be the new permanent CFO. Her appointment to the position comes with the company's focus being turned towards the home healthcare business, acquiring in April of the same year a 60% stake in Kindred at Home, an in-home care and hospice business.

Note: The article currently uses three sources, one of which is a press release. The WSJ article verifies all information in the sentence, so the other two were removed.

Rewrote sentence with new source:

• Old: In 2024, the company ranked 92 on the Fortune 500 list, which made it the highest ranked (by revenues) company based in Kentucky.

New: Humana ranked No. 39 on the 2025 United States Fortune 500 list and No. 85 on the 2025 Global Fortune 500 list.

• Old: The Humana Distaff Handicap is a Grade 1 race for thoroughbred fillies and mares, four-years-old and up. The race is run each spring on Kentucky Derby day at Churchill Downs and set at a distance of 7 furlongs for a purse of $250,000.

New: The Derby City Distaff Stakes was created in 1987. In 1995, Humana became its sponsor; the race was named the Humana Distaff Handicap from 1995-2006 and the Humana Distaff from 2007-2019.

• Old: It is the fourth largest health insurance provider in the U.S.

New: It was the sixth-largest insurer in the world, as of 2025.

Removed sentence due to lack of sourcing source:

• During this period, Humana developed the double corridor model for hospital construction. This design minimized the distance between patients and nurses by placing nursing support services in the interior of the building with patient rooms surrounding the perimeter.
• On November 16, 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Humana Inc. partnered to expand on traditional private-sector approaches to population health management.
• LPGA player Nancy Scranton was a spokesperson for Humana.
• HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, in a letter to the insurance industry, threatened that bad actors may be excluded from new health insurance markets that were to open in 2014. Senate Republicans pointed out in a letter to Sebelius that a 1997 directive from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services explicitly allowed HMOs to tell members about legislation and urge them to express opinions.

Note: This was specifically removed because it is not about Humana

References

Let me know if you have any thoughts, thanks! E Humana (talk) 14:52, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. That's a lot to review. Glancing over it, a lot of the references look to be press releases or the like. It will take some careful reviewing to go over them all. --Hipal (talk) 15:49, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Hipal! Let me know if you have any questions. I know it is a lot so I am happy to provide clarity. E Humana (talk) 19:53, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

If you could identify any that might be press releases or something similar, that would help. --Hipal (talk) 20:08, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Hipal, when I was looking for sources, I was avoiding press releases and stuck to items with bylines when possible.

That being said, I looked at these closer and have a few notes on them for you to consider

• Sources #4, #5, #6 link the announcements but don't attribute the content to it.
• Source #3 credits Bloomberg
• Source #8 and #18 have a staff writer byline but does look like it could have content lifted from a PR, but no attribution to one
• Source #13 uses a quote from a press release
• Source #14 and #15 are from the Fortune 500 website (which appears to be standard practice Fortune rankings)
• Source #16 and #17 are from the race's published results (which appears to be standard practice for this type of information)
• Sources #1-2, #7, #9-12, all appear reliable to me

With the exception of #14-17, the articles all at least have a staff writer byline, showing some level of fact checking and editorial oversight.

Happy to continue the discussion! Let me know what you think, E Humana (talk) 14:20, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Apologies for not getting back to this sooner. I'm afraid that I still have little time to put into this, nor do I expect that will change in the coming months.

Re PGA: Are there sources that can verify that it is ongoing? Without them, the statement fails verification.

Re Avality, mobileStorm, Enclara Healthcare, etc : Why are they important to Humana?

While we do need to make sure references are reliable, we also need to make sure they indicate that the information is WP:DUE and encyclopedic. --Hipal (talk) 19:07, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Hipal Good questions!

Re PGA: That is a good point and you are right about the point in time, since there is sourcing to show more concrete dates. Here is a better proposal:

Extended content

Humana was a tour partner of the PGA Tour beginning in 2005. It served as the official health benefits provider of the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. In 2014, the company announced it would end its sponsorship after the 2015 event.

References

Re Avality, mobileStorm, Enclara Healthcare, etc: I was looking more at sourcing than considering WP:DUE. As for WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC, I do think acquisitions, subsidiaries, divisions etc. do have enough knowledge value to warrant inclusion.

Let me know if you have any other questions! I understand you're busy and this will take a closer eye, I will just check in intermittently like I have been to see if you had any new thoughts. Thanks, E Humana (talk) 22:05, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder about this. Re PGA tour sponsor:

The Sports Business Journal ref appears to be a warmed-over press release, so I'm unsure how much to rely upon it.

Maybe just

Humana was a tour partner of the PGA Tour beginning from 2005 to 2015.

I'm unclear if the change in Humana's role in 2011 should be included as well. --Hipal (talk) 19:48, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Hipal I think that language is good! Let me know if there are any other questions. E Humana (talk) 18:35, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

I've added it and removed the related content sourced to press releases. --Hipal (talk) 18:54, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Hipal Thanks for the update! Did you have any thoughts or questions on the sourcing updates and fixes in the above initial request in the expand box? If it helps, I can break out a new request to remove what has been done already. Just let me know! E Humana (talk) 17:36, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes, breaking out new request(s) would help. Maybe group together simple requests that you feel should be easy to review and straightforward to approve. --Hipal (talk) 17:51, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Filtered request

Per Hipal I have taken the previous request seen above and removed what has already been done so the outstanding items can be evaluated.

Only source updating

These are sentences that can stay the same but should have a new source swapped, since the current one is not up to guidelines. The proposed source verifies the sentences as they are.

• In 1993, Humana had become the largest hospital operator in the country, owning 77 hospitals.
• In 2001, Humana was a cofounder of Avality.
• In May 2011, Humana announced it would be using mobileStorm to transmit protected health information to patients.
• In July 2015, Aetna announced that it would acquire Humana for $37 billion in cash and stock (approximately $230 a share at that time). Aetna and Humana shareholders would own 74% and 26% of the new combined company, however the merger was blocked by a federal judge in January 2017.
• In December 2019, the company announced it would acquire Enclara Healthcare from Consonance Capital Partners and Enclara management.
• In February 2023, Humana announced they were exiting the employer-based commercial group insurance market.
• Humana is the presenting sponsor of the Grand Ole Opry and the National Senior Games.
• Since 1979, Humana has been a principal sponsor of the annual Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville, Kentucky.
• On December 22, 2022, the Department of Defense announced the award of the managed care support contract for the TRICARE East Region to Humana Military.
• On May 30, 1996, Linda Peeno, a physician who was contracted to work for Humana for nine months, testified before Congress as to the downside of managed care. Peeno said she was effectively rewarded by her employer for causing the death of a patient, because it saved the company a half-million dollars. Peeno stated that she felt the "managed care" model was inherently unethical.
• In July 2018, Humana joined two private equity firms in the acquisition of Kindred Healthcare. The deal provided Humana with a 40% stake in the company's home health, hospice and community care businesses, called "Kindred at Home," for approximately $800 million.

Note: This had a Forbes Contributor source and the other source did not verify 100% of the sentence, so I swapped Forbes with Fierce Healthcare.

• In 2021, Susan Diamond, formerly occupying an interim position, was announced to be the new permanent CFO. Her appointment to the position comes with the company's focus being turned towards the home healthcare business, acquiring in April of the same year a 60% stake in Kindred at Home, an in-home care and hospice business.

Note: The article currently uses three sources, one of which is a press release. The WSJ article verifies all information in the sentence, so the other two were removed.

References

Both rewrite AND source updating

These are sentences where the current source is not up to guidelines. An alternative source was located, but it does not verify the current sentence so a rewrite is needed.

• Old: In 2024, the company ranked 92 on the Fortune 500 list, which made it the highest ranked (by revenues) company based in Kentucky.

New: Humana ranked No. 39 on the 2025 United States Fortune 500 list and No. 85 on the 2025 Global Fortune 500 list.

• Old: The Humana Distaff Handicap is a Grade 1 race for thoroughbred fillies and mares, four-years-old and up. The race is run each spring on Kentucky Derby day at Churchill Downs and set at a distance of 7 furlongs for a purse of $250,000.

• Old: It is the fourth largest health insurance provider in the U.S.

New: It was the sixth-largest insurer in the world, as of 2025.

References

No source available, suggest full removal

These are sentences where the current source is not up to guidelines and I have not been able to locate an alternative source, so I am proposing removal of the sentence entirely.

• During this period, Humana developed the double corridor model for hospital construction. This design minimized the distance between patients and nurses by placing nursing support services in the interior of the building with patient rooms surrounding the perimeter.
• On November 16, 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Humana Inc. partnered to expand on traditional private-sector approaches to population health management.
• HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, in a letter to the insurance industry, threatened that bad actors may be excluded from new health insurance markets that were to open in 2014. Senate Republicans pointed out in a letter to Sebelius that a 1997 directive from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services explicitly allowed HMOs to tell members about legislation and urge them to express opinions.

Note: This last one was specifically removed because it is not about Humana

@Hipal: This is now the oldest in progress request. Can you please respond or remove the under review tag? Czarking0 (talk) 19:28, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

I've changed the tag to partially implemented. I don't see my schedule opening up enough for continuing to work on this alone in a timely manner. --Hipal (talk) 17:04, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

I understand! I have added the edit request template. Thanks for the heads up! E Humana (talk) 18:51, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello StefenTower, I wanted to tag you on this request because I saw above your concerns about citations for this article and updating the tag. This request is to update the citations with neutral and independent sources in order to overall improve the article. Since I have a conflict of interest as an employee of Humana, I cannot make these updates myself and an independent editor should review it instead. I thought you would find these sources I have presented useful if you continue to go throughout the article and improve it. Let me know if you have any questions! E Humana (talk) 17:14, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

That's quite a bit to go through. I may pick at it here and there as I work on other things the next few weeks. Thank you for the thorough request at any rate. Stefen 𝕋ower ^{Huddle • Handiwerk} 00:58, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Operations section addition

After recent feedback, I wanted to present editors with a diff of all the changes I plan on suggesting to improve this page. If you'd like to leave notes on the whole thing, feel free to leave feedback on this post or the draft's Talk page.

For now, I wanted to start off small with a proposal to add an Operations section. This includes content about the company, including leadership, company size, and functions/subsidiaries.

Operations
Executive leadership includes Jim Rechtin (CEO), Japan Mehta (chief information officer), and Celeste Mellet (chief financial officer). It is headquartered at the Humana Waterside and Clocktower in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.

Humana is the second-biggest Medicare Advantage insurer in the United States, as of 2025. It has both an insurance segment and pharmacy and primary care subsidiary called CenterWell.

IHH Healthcare

Edit Request Process

Hi Editor,

Isaac here from WATATAWA Consulting and we support several clients such as IHH Healthcare with their external engagements.

I would like to make some edits to IHH Healthcare’s Wikipedia page with the latest publicly available information. Would you be able to advise how we can move forward with this please? I’ve read Wikipedia:Edit Requests and it mentioned to indicate my request on the talk page prior to using the Edit Request Template or the Edit Request Wizard.

I understand that there were some issues with the previous attempt to make modifications. I have rectified it and will be the only person making any edits for the IHH Healthcare page moving forward via this new account.

Many thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

Isaac Isaac at WATATAWA Consulting (talk) 09:18, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Present us what would you like to change and back up your claims with reliable sources (per WP:BURDEN). A09 (talk) 12:11, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi A09,

As a start:

1) IHH's latest updated revenue for Q1 2023 is RM 5.1 billion as seen in their latest results press release here and on their website here.

2)For the second and third paragraph of the body, could we amend it to:

Its portfolio of healthcare brands includes Pantai, Gleneagles and Prince Court in IHH Malaysia; Mount Elizabeth, Gleneagles, and Parkway in IHH Singapore; Gleneagles and ParkwayHealth in IHH Greater China; Fortis and Gleneagles Global in IHH India; and Acibadem in Turkiye and Europe.

IHH's subsidiaries include Pantai Holdings, Parkway Holdings, ParkwayLife REIT and Fortis. It is also the majority shareholder of Acıbadem Healthcare Group, the largest Turkish private healthcare company.

Reasons for amending point 2:

- Continental Hospitals was divested in 2021 as seen here.

- The International Medical University was also divested in 2022 as seen here.

- IHH Healthcare's brands and subsidiaries can be found here.

Our amends are backed by publicly available resources as linked. Do let us know if these are good to go, please – we will share a couple more requested edits for your advise after.

Best regards,

Isaac Isaac at WATATAWA Consulting (talk) 03:46, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Editor,

Hope you are well.

May I check if this is the correct way to present the changes that I would like to make?

Do let me know if any amends need to be made in terms of the formatting and I'll be happy to make them soonest.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

Isaac Isaac at WATATAWA Consulting (talk) 03:16, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey there and sorry for a late reply, but I've been busy in last days. Usual way of making an edit request is via {{edit COI}} (as you have conflict of interest this one is the most appropriate). I'll take a look into the request later. Thanks in advance, A09 (talk) 09:16, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

IMazing

Request to add Features section — COI disclosure

I am disclosing a conflict of interest: I work at DigiDNA, the company that develops iMazing. Per Wikipedia's COI guidelines, I am not editing the article directly but am instead submitting this request for review.

I am proposing two changes to the iMazing article:

1. Addition of a new "Features" section covering seven topics: backup and data management, media and file transfer, messaging and personal data export, app management, security (Spyware Analyzer), iMazing Mini, and enterprise features (iMazing Configurator).

2. Removal of the existing "Description" section, whose content is fully absorbed by the new Features section. Keeping both would create redundancy and weaken the article's structure.

All claims in the proposed section are supported exclusively by independent third-party sources, including Macworld, 9to5Mac, iMore, MacStories, MacRumors, iDownloadBlog, MacTrast, and Amnesty International. No primary or official iMazing sources are used for factual claims. The tone is neutral and descriptive throughout.

The full proposed section with inline citations is available below for review. I welcome any corrections or adjustments before inclusion.

Thank you.

Edit request: rewrite article to address résumé-style tone

Please replace the current article wikitext in full, from the opening line beginning

through the final category line , with the replacement wikitext below.

Extended content

After applying the replacement text, please remove from the maintenance template if you agree the rewritten article no longer reads like a résumé. I am not requesting direct removal of the COI tag unless an uninvolved editor determines it is appropriate.

I have a conflict of interest with this article, so I am not making the change directly. I am requesting review by an uninvolved editor.

The article is currently tagged as being written like a résumé and as having possible COI issues. I have prepared a proposed rewrite below that:

• removes first-paragraph résumé/list structure;
• reduces promotional and evaluative phrasing;
• consolidates biographical material into prose;
• keeps factual claims tied to the existing citations;
• removes some unsourced or weakly sourced detail;
• preserves the filmography, awards and honours sections in a more neutral format.

If an uninvolved editor considers the rewrite acceptable, could they please replace the article text with the version below and consider whether the résumé-style tag can be removed? I understand that the COI tag should remain or be removed only at the discretion of uninvolved editors.

Proposed replacement article text

For the British judge, see Ian Darling (judge).

Incyte

Updated "History" section

I'm Erik and I work at Incyte. I'm excited to collaborate with you all! Due to my conflict of interest, I am here with a request.

I'd like to request the wholesale replacement of the current History section on this article, with my proposed version. Half the citations in the current section are press releases or non-reliable sources, and the section itself doesn't really tell the story of Incyte's company history; it bounces from 2025 to 2015 to 2020 to 2021. The current section only really highlights two milestones in Incyte's history, and lacks a ton of context that is included in reliable sourcing. This proposed version tells that history more completely, while also improving the sourcing throughout.

Replace

In June 2025, Incyte named Bill Meury president, CEO, and a member of the board of directors. He replaced Hervé Hoppenot, who retired after 11 years of service.

In September 2015, the company announced it had gained exclusive development and commercial right pertaining to Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co., Ltd's anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, SHR-1210, in a deal worth $795+ million.

In January 2020, Incyte signed a collaboration and license agreement for the global development and commercialization of tafasitamab with MorphoSys. On March 3, 2020, the agreement received antitrust clearance and thus became effective.

Incyte established a European headquarters in Morges, Switzerland, in 2021.

In November 2013, Incyte announced its relocation to new headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, completing the move by the end of 2014. Hervé Hoppenot became CEO in January 2014.

That same year, Incyte acquired Villaris Therapeutics, and Escient Pharmaceuticals in 2024.

Informa

Article Lead Request

Hello there,

I am acting on behalf of Informa and have some suggested changes to the lead.

What are my changes: The current first sentence of the lead does not accurately reflect what Informa does, so I have suggested a more accurate version.

In addition, can the introduction feature the operating divisions rather than examples of the notable brands owned by Informa?

This would help readers better understand the structure of the company - while the brands are notable, they don't illustrate what Informa does as a company. Listing the divisions also more accurately indicates the nature of the relationship between Informa's divisions and brands - Taylor & Francis for example is its own division which CRC Press and Routledge both sit within, but the current phrasing implies they sit alongside each other.

I plan to suggest some more content in the body of the article to better cover what each division does and use notable examples of brands within each to clarify this, but for this request I'm focusing on the introduction.

Finally, can the number of employees be updated to 14,000 (and the relevant figure corrected within the infobox)?

How it would appear:

Proposed Changes

Informa plc is a British publishing, business intelligence, and exhibitions group based in London, England. UK-founded multinational events, digital products, specialist media and academic publishing business. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.

One of the world's largest business events' organisers, it has offices in 30 countries and around 12,000 14,000 employees. Informa owns numerous brands including Fan Expo, VidCon, Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, CRC Press, Routledge, and Taylor & Francis. Informa comprises five operating divisions: Informa Markets, Informa Connect, Informa Festivals, Informa TechTarget and Taylor & Francis.

One of the world's largest business events' organisers, along with some others. Valorrr ^{(lets chat)} 13:45, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Valorrr. I understand that that could seem promotional but I disagree in cases where it is an objective statement.

Objectively, Informa is one of the world's largest companies in the organisation of business events' - this is supported by the Times article where it says: "Informa, formed in 1998 via the merger of IBC Group and Lloyd’s of London Press, is the largest organiser of trade shows in the world."

Other Wikipedia articles where the subject is the largest within their specific industry will also use "largest" within the article lead as a basic introduction to the subject i.e. airlines (American Airlines) - "largest airline in the world in terms of passengers carried and daily flights", banking (Goldman Sachs) - "second-largest investment bank in the world by revenue".

I appreciate I do have a COI so would you mind reopening the request so we could get a second opinion? I see that Pac Veten and Dormskirk have recently been active with updates to the article - would either of you have an opinion on my suggestions?

HisNamesJim (talk) 16:40, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Sorry but "One of the world's largest business events' organisers, along with some others" sounds promotional to me. Dormskirk (talk) 16:45, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Very, and we need NPOV. Valorrr ^{(lets chat)} 16:47, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

One of the world's largest business events' organisers
That was the text, but I said "among some others" to state there is some more. Valorrr ^{(lets chat)} 16:48, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

The tone sounds promotional to me also. Is there a way to quantify the statement for neutrality? For example, "Informa has x% of the global market for trade shows" or "Informa is among the top Y international vendors for trade shows"? Pac Veten (talk) 16:54, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Or better, "Informa is among the top Y international vendors for trade shows (by revenue)." Pac Veten (talk) 17:06, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Valorrr, Dormskirk and Pac Veten for your feedback. Very helpful for someone new to Wikipedia.

Pac Veten, as you have suggested, could the phrasing be altered to:

"Informa is the world's largest exhibition organizer by revenue..." as supported by these Exhibition News and Trade Shows New Network articles.

Additionally, what about other parts of the request? Are the changes suggested acceptable or does the language have to be adjusted?

1. Changes to the "lead" sentence to better reflect what Informa does.

2. Changing the last sentence to feature the operating divisions of Informa rather than examples of the notable brands owned by Informa.

Listing the divisions more accurately indicates the nature of the relationship between Informa's divisions and brands - Taylor & Francis for example is its own division which CRC Press and Routledge are brands within, but the current phrasing implies they sit alongside each other.

3. Updating the number of employees to 14,000.

Thanks again for your guidance. HisNamesJim (talk) 11:08, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I found the original lead sentence (with "business intelligence") more concrete and descriptive. The proposed new sentence may fit better with a corporate mission statement, but the context seems different here. Perhaps it would work to add an explicit sentence for the mission statement?

Similarly, the original list of brands (including CRC) seems helpful and evocative, while the list of divisions lacks flavor for a general audience, somehow. Why not include both--keep the original content, and then add a new description of Informa's operating divisions separately? Each list would provide a different kind of useful information.

Article Lead Request 2

Hello there,

Following the feedback received from Pac Veten, I have reposted my request to change the article lead to make it clearer for interested editors.

• Would it be possible to add phrasing to the second paragraph of the introduction which indicates Informa is the world's largest exhibition organizer by revenue, one of the reasons why the company is notable within its industry.

• Can I suggest a sentence outlining the operating divisions of the company. This would make the introduction a better summary of the company and help clarify the relationship between Informa's divisions and brands.

• Can the introduction be updated to reflect Informa's current business operations, specifically as follows:

• By using the term "UK-founded" rather than "British", and "Multinational events" to clarify that the company hosts functions globally, not only domestically.

• Informa no longer offers "business intelligence" services while "digital products", "specialist media" and "academic publishing business" represent the company's current operations more accurately. Informa, for example, is only involved with "academic publishing" rather than "publishing" generally through its Taylor & Francis division.

• Finally, can the number of employees be updated to 14,000 (and the relevant figure corrected within the infobox).

How it would appear:

Proposed Changes

Informa plc is a British publishing, business intelligence, and exhibitions group based in London, England. UK-founded multinational events, digital products, specialist media and academic publishing business. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.

Informa is the world's largest exhibition organizer by revenue. It has offices in 30 countries and around 12,000 14,000 employees. Informa owns numerous brands including Fan Expo, VidCon, Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, CRC Press, Routledge, and Taylor & Francis. Informa comprises five operating divisions: Informa Markets, Informa Connect, Informa Festivals, Informa TechTarget and Taylor & Francis.

References

Thank you again for considering my request! HisNamesJim (talk) 14:58, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

This draft looks more neutral, to my eye, but some additional changes would be helpful:

- Where the company was founded is less important than what it does; the company is something like a conglomerate; and bold font is needed only for the company name. So I would suggest something like this for the first sentence, pending further changes: "Informa plc is a multinational conglomerate that is active in the areas of events, digital products, specialist media and academic publishing; the company was founded in the UK."

- The terms "digital products" and "specialist media" do not refer to concrete industries or fields that would be familiar to most readers. What are possible substitutes for these terms, which would be more widely known?

- Do the terms "events" and "exhibitions" refer to the same things? If so, it may be helpful to use a consistent term.

- Where are Informa's major offices located? For example, would "in the London and Boston areas" be sufficient to give a general idea?

- How many brands does Informa have? The word "numerous" implies between 8 and dozens . . .

- What does each Informa division do, in a few words each?

Hopefully these are useful comments, if detailed. Pac Veten (talk) 18:06, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Similarly, if the 14,000 employees are located mainly in the US and the UK, it would be useful to include that clarification. Pac Veten (talk) 18:21, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Pac Veten. Sorry for taking a while to get back to you.

I very much appreciate your detailed comments, which I've responded to in turn below. Just to clarify, I use bold to indicate my changes which I should have made clearer to you so apologies for any confusion!

1. I agree with your adjusted lead sentence. I suggest using the alternate term digital goods instead of "digital products" and "niche media" instead of "specialist media". Similar to my point regarding the alteration from "publishing" to "academic publishing", I feel it is important to readers to clarify that Informa does not publish mainstream media.

2. Events and exhibitions from my understanding are different, so it would be better to specify given their relevance here. Events are broader while exhibitions are more focused and subject-specific; for example the wider event of Cannes Film Festival will host exhibitions within the wider event itself.

3. For the lead at least, I do not see the value in adding where the company's major offices are located and it probably approaches WP:DIRECTORY territory, but others may disagree.

4. Informa does indeed have dozens of brands, too many to comprehensively list and this may fluctuate over time as well (I would like to tackle the brands section in a future request so it isn't too unwieldy), and this is why I'm keen to include the Divisions. I would not object to the beginning of this sentence being altered to read, "Some of Informa's most notable brands include..."

5. I am currently in the process of drafting changes to the "Operations" section which it would be great if you would like to offer your feedback on once I have submitted it! This will include an explanation of the five divisions - it might be appropriate to include this in the lead as well but in any case we can decide that once this first conversation is concluded to keep the Talk page organised.

6. I cannot find any independent reliable third-party references which include the employee split and would rather leave it out as this will continually change.

Look forward to hearing your feedback and thank you! HisNamesJim (talk) 16:55, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @HisNamesJim. I appreciate your latest thoughts--my comments are below.

1. The phrase "digital goods" is not standard for a general audience, so I think that it's still important to find common words to describe Informa's services. Such phrasing should be independent of any marketing strategy.

2. OK

3. Most Wikipedia articles about important companies indicate where their major offices are located. This information should be included for Informa as well.

4. It would be appropriate to replace the promotional word "numerous" with an approximate quantification of the number of brands that Informa owns. On the basis of your comments above, perhaps that would be "approximately fifty" in this case?

5. There are two options around treating divisions in the lead section. The first option is to attach a couple of words to each division as description; the second option is to remove the divisions from the lead section entirely, deferring this material for a later section, as you proposed. The current division listing in the lead section is opaque and does not add any value for a reader.

6. OK--item 3 above may be sufficient to substitute for item 6 here.

Hopefully these comments are useful in moving towards the next iteration. Pac Veten (talk) 18:26, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Article Lead Request

Hi there. Following helpful feedback from editors, I would like to repost a request to change the article lead.

• Can the introduction be updated to reflect Informa's current business operations, specifically as follows:

• By using the term "UK-founded" rather than "British", and "Multinational events" to clarify that the company hosts functions globally, not only domestically.

• The phrasing "based in London" changed to "headquartered in London" so it is clearer that Informa has offices in other locations.

• Informa no longer offers "business intelligence" services while "business-to-business digital services and media" and "academic publishing business" represent the company's current operations more accurately. Informa, for example, is only involved with "academic publishing" rather than "publishing" generally through its Taylor & Francis division, while its digital services and media products are focused on the business-to-business sector.

• May the final sentence be updated by:

• Changing "numerous" in regards to the amount of brands to "hundreds" so that there is an approximate quantification.

• Adding several more notable brands (highlighted in bold) with Wikilinks to their relevant articles.

• Finally, can the number of employees be updated to 14,000 (and the relevant figure corrected within the infobox).

How it would appear:

Proposed Changes

Informa plc is a British publishing, business intelligence, and exhibitions group based in London, England. UK-founded multinational events, business-to-business digital services and media, and academic publishing business headquartered in London, England. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.

It has offices in 30 countries and around 12,000 14,000 employees. Informa owns numerous hundreds of brands including Fan Expo, VidCon, Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Monaco Yacht Show, World of Concrete, Dubai Airshow, Farm Progress, CRC Press, Routledge, and Taylor & Francis.

Thank you! HisNamesJim (talk) 10:25, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

@HisNamesJim:, responding to these requests individually since it is more than a single request. Give me time to sum everything up. Not everything is responded to in the order in which you requested.

1. 12,000 -> 14,000, this was implemented based on the primary source. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:09, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

2. British -> U.K. founded , not done. The first sentence of the MOS:LEAD describes where the company is located, not necessarily where it operates. See Facebook for example ("American social media and social networking service owned by the American technology conglomerate Meta"). --CNMall41 (talk) 21:14, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

3. based in -> headquarters, this was updated. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:15, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

4. numerous -> hundreds, not done. The lead needs to be a summary of the body. While the body lists many of the brands, it would be WP:OR to say "hundreds" unless there is a sentence in the "Brands" section which says "hundreds." That sentence would also need to be supported by a reliable source. I was going to do that change in order to change the lead, but I cannot find a reliable secondary source that says "hundreds." --CNMall41 (talk) 21:17, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

5. service types - not done. Again, the lead needs to be a summary of the body and currently what is written should not be there unless reliably sourced. If you have a good secondary source that shows what they currently offer, ping me here and I can add a sentence to the operations section and then change the lead to reflect your request. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:19, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

6. additional brands - not done. There are currently six which I feel is already too many for a summary based on the rule of three. You are asking that to be increased to 10 which is way too many in my opinion. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:21, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks much for the update and for incorporating the previous feedback. This version looks significantly more informative and neutral—so I'd suggest that only two tasks remain. The first task is to subdivide the long list of brands according to the general categories provided above to describe the overall business. The second task is to copy edit the resulting full text. Since I belong to the Guild of Copy Editors, it would be natural for me to take on the second task. Would you mind taking on the first task? Pac Veten (talk) 23:56, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me @Pac Veten, and for all of your previous feedback. For now, I think I am going with CNMall41's suggestion that I focus on requesting changes to the main article body before returning back to the lead. HisNamesJim (talk) 11:56, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Since the most recent proposed text above is the outcome of this long group discussion (to date), how should it be inserted as the article lead now - would you like to take care of that, or would you prefer me to handle it? Pac Veten (talk) 14:43, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Long discussion is not necessary consensus. As stated above, the lead is a summary of the body. The question should be what, if anything, should be placed into the body. The lead can then be discussed after. It's a cart before the horse issue to build the lead without having the information in the body. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:08, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you @CNMall41 for your thorough feedback! I agree with the points raised. My next request is going to focus on the "Operations" section and suggest language which clarifies what the different divisions of the company do.

Would you also please update the approximate number of employees within the lead so that it matches the infobox. Thank you! HisNamesJim (talk) 11:52, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

I will. However, I am not sure it is even suitable for the lead so would not object if another editor removed. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:08, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Yes, the total number of employees in a corporation is very appropriate for a lead section. Pac Veten (talk) 18:36, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Operations Request

Thank you @CNMall41 and @Pac Veten for offering your feedback.

As mentioned in my last request, I would like to put forwards some language and updates within the "Operations" section which clarifies the different divisions within Informa.

I hope this will then be reflected within the lead to better summarise the company's operations.

How it would appear:

Proposed Changes

Informa is organized into five operating divisions:

• Three divisions are B2B events-focused:

• Informa Connect, which is focused on content-led events. Brands include Fan Expo, MegaCon and The Bride Show.

• Informa Festivals, which has experience-led events. Brands include Black Hat Briefings, Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and Game Developers Conference.

• Informa Markets, which focuses on transaction-led events. Brands include Dubai Airshow, Farm Progress and World of Concrete.

• Informa TechTarget is Informa’s digital services business. This consists of media brands and technology sites including Computer Weekly, Game Developer and Industry Dive.

• Taylor & Francis is an academic book and journal publisher. Brands include F1000, Dove Medical Press and Routledge.

The company also has a Global Support division.

In June 2021, John Rishton was appointed as chairman, replacing Derek Mapp.

Thank you again for reviewing! HisNamesJim (talk) 11:36, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. Here's my feedback:

- The new content looks OK overall. Please remove the word "led"—it may have a marketing connotation, but it unfortunately won't be meaningful to the average reader.

- Please indicate Informa's revenue breakdown by region and division, per Informa's 2024 annual report. This material should be easy to write up.

- In the lead section, please summarize or quote Informa's mission statement. This information helps to characterize the corporation for a new reader.

On reflection, the proposed article changes appear to have a larger problem, which will need addressing. Significant portions of the proposed new text (for lead and operations) appear to be taken directly from Informa's 2024 annual report. For compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines on plagiarism, I would suggest reviewing those guidelines and then adjusting the new text appropriately. Possible solutions include paraphrase and quotation, and inline citation in any case. These guidelines are available at WP:PLAG. Pac Veten (talk) 14:41, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

@Pac Veten:, I am going to dissent here. Why would it be appropriate to break down the company's revenue by region according to its annual report? Or, to include its mission statement? Are either of these worthy of inclusion? This seems to be the opposite of neutral tone. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:52, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

First, it's useful to repeat the previous feedback that's not covered by the most recent post. The second bullet below is particularly important, in light of the conflict-of-interest considerations that prompted this talk thread.

- The new content looks OK overall. Please remove the word "led"—it may have a marketing connotation, but it unfortunately won't be meaningful to the average reader.

Second, here's the previous feedback that's covered by the most recent post:

- Please indicate Informa's revenue breakdown by region and division, per Informa's 2024 annual report. This material should be easy to write up.

- In the lead section, please summarize or quote Informa's mission statement. This information helps to characterize the corporation for a new reader.

The preceding two bullets are simply topics of general interest, which make them appropriate for Wikipedia readers. I agree that if the article were long, and length considerations prompted a consideration of triage, we might want to consider which topics to exclude. Since the article is so short (so far), it makes sense to amplify the content, to give a richer perspective on the corporation.

On this subject, including an explicit mission statement is actually a way to amplify neutrality, by indicating the corporation's goals and point of view. Newspapers often do something similar, as a way to increase trust with readers. So it's a great point that you raised, and hopefully it gives us an opportunity to build this trust with Wikipedia readers. Pac Veten (talk) 18:13, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

It is not about trust necessarily. It is about writing something from a WP:NPOV. Wikipedia is not a WP:SOAPBOX for the company to reiterate its financials. Think WP:READERSFIRST. No one is coming to Wikipedia to get that information. At this point, there would need to be consensus to implement those suggestions as I do not believe they adhere to the points I stated above. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:47, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

In the previous sections, there was discussion about promotional tone. Maybe ping those editors to see if they would be willing to opine.--CNMall41 (talk) 18:49, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

First, it's useful to repeat the previous feedback that's not covered by the most recent post. The second bullet below is particularly important, in light of the conflict-of-interest considerations that prompted this talk thread.

Second, here are some comments about the most recent post:

- A company's financials are not promotional - typically the opposite, more an objective measure. Were you envisioning a soapbox of some sort for this article?

- Given the large, international audience for Wikipedia, any claims about "no one" being interested in information are likely to be disproven quickly. This is actually an excellent reason for including more information in an article, rather than less (up to the point of saturation, as previously mentioned).

- Finally, if the corporate contributor in a conflict-of-interest situation is requesting the article's discussion to follow the corporation's guidance, this seems problematic. Broad inclusion of community interest seems better, per Wikipedia's guidelines and norms. This observation would suggest continuing to expand the article's content (up to the point of saturation, as previously mentioned). Pac Veten (talk) 19:40, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

If this discussion is unable to resolve the conflict of interest that was flagged, would it be best to end the proposal process for now? Input from editors with significant experience on Wikipedia may be particularly valuable here. Pac Veten (talk) 19:42, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm getting a bit confused. I have no interest in pushing the revenue and mission statement points suggested here.

This request is focused on introducing descriptions within the "Operations" section, where the divisions are already listed, but not explained. This action is not intended to "follow the corporation's guidance", just to indicate an accurate definition.

This is because, at the moment, there is no explanation of the divisions, just the names and a long list of brands with nothing to indicate what groups them.

I'm happy to remove the "led" wording from the definitions - it just means that the word before is the main focus of the event, if that helps in finding an alternative.

As we are getting away from the original request, I agree it would be great if an experienced editor could offer their feedback - maybe one who has edited the article before in the past year or so such as Dormskirk, VulcanSphere, or Shortride. HisNamesJim (talk) 14:54, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. I think the article looks good as it is. It lists the divisions in the operations section and then splits the brands by division in the brands section. Just my opinion. Dormskirk (talk) 15:12, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

I agree with Dormskirk's view, thanks for the ping. Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere! 15:27, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Pac Veten (talk) 16:40, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

It is actually not useful at this point to "repeat the previous feedback" as you have done so quite a few times. Those involved in the discussion are well aware. As far as "it would be great if an experienced editor could offer their feedback" I guess I should not have assumed that I was an experienced editor in the company-related article space. I am also puzzled by "would it be best to end the proposal process for now" as that would be the OP's decision if they want to end the discussion. I'm sorry to sound so blunt but you seem to be moving the topic of discussion. If you are advocating for the introductory or advertorial material, you will need to start a thread to get consensus. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:52, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Can you please point me to the reply that addressed plagiarism from the company's annual report? I might have missed that post. Pac Veten (talk) 16:57, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Not sure what you are referring to. I did not say anything about plagiarism. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:54, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Plagiarism has been mentioned twice in the comments above. It will be good to get the group's thoughts on that. Pac Veten (talk) 21:38, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

It has been mentioned four times. By you. It is not relevant. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:04, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Is it the group's opinion that copying text from a company's annual report does not raise any questions around WP:PLAG? Pac Veten (talk) 21:12, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks all for your feedback. It appears a consensus cannot be agreed on whether the descriptions of the divisions should be added so I will now close the request. HisNamesJim (talk) 10:57, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

History Section Request

Hi there.

I would like to suggest several changes to the "History" section, which is currently difficult to navigate, gives undue weight to certain historic events, while omitting several more recent notable happenings.

To begin with, to improve navigability for readers, may I suggest a timeframe which will divide the section into two.

This would consist of two sub-headings, one between 1998 (when Informa was formed) to 2013 and one from 2014 (coinciding with when Stephen Carter began his role as CEO) to the present.

How it would appear:

Proposed Changes

1998 to 2013

Informa itself was created in 1998 by the merger of IBC Group plc (formerly International Business Communications) and LLP Group plc (publisher of Lloyd's List).

[...]

In December 2013, Informa acquired the assets of Elsevier Business Intelligence (EBI) from Reed Elsevier. The EBI business unit includes such publications as The Pink Sheet, The Gray Sheet, IN VIVO, Start-Up, and the Strategic Transactions database along with a series of notable conferences. The EBI assets combined with Scrip, Datamonitor and several other publications formed the newly created Pharma Intelligence division of Informa Business Information.

2014 to present

In January 2014, Carter became CEO of Informa plc. In September 2017, Informa announced that it would be acquiring Dove Medical Press.

[...]

Thank you all for looking into my request! HisNamesJim (talk) 15:46, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Done. Dormskirk (talk) 15:56, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

History Section Request 2

Really appreciate it Dormskirk for implementing the sub-headings!

My next request for the "History" section focuses on revising the second half of the "1998 to 2013" sub-section.

Currently undue weight is given to certain events, while others covered do not meet Wikipedia's criteria on notability. Could I please suggest:

• The paragraph in relation to the proposed 2008 merger with United Business Media (UBM) is simplified.

• Undue weight is given to mentioning alternative third-party attempts in acquiring Informa which are unconnected to talks with UBM.

• Language surrounding talks ending due to an increase in share price, cited using an Independent article, is according to "sources close to UBM" so is not independently verifiable. The sentence referring to this should be removed.

• Removal of the "Informaworld" discontinued domain paragraph.

• It is not appropriate for inclusion within a "History" section, does not meet Wikipedia's criteria on notability and is supported by primary sources.

• Removal of the sentence regarding Hobby Star Marketing.

• The sentence is currently unreferenced, and while limited press does exist about the company's acquisition by Informa, it is not notable enough to warrant inclusion on the article.

• Simplification of the paragraph regarding the acquisition of assets of Elsevier Business Intelligence (EBI) from Reed Elsevier to a single sentence.

• Like the UBM paragraph, while the acquisition is somewhat notable, listing the various publications as part of the deal is undue weight.

In addition, indicated in bold, may a sentence be added:

• Stating that Informa was redomiciled to the UK in 2014.

• Providing background context to Stephen Carter’s appointment as CEO in first joining Informa as a non-executive director in 2010.

How it would appear:

Proposed Changes

1998 to 2013

[...]

On 8 June 2008, The Sunday Telegraph revealed that United Business Media (UBM) had proposed a merger with Informa to create a media group worth over £3 billion. The talks were confirmed by Informa in a press release that same day, but described as "preliminary". Previously on 13 May The Times had reported that the Carlyle Group and Apax Partners were considering bidding for the company. On 17 June talks with UBM ended. because of the rapid rise in Informa's stock price after the public disclosure of the potential merger. On 26 June a private equity consortium consisting of Providence Equity Partners, the Carlyle Group and Hellman & Friedman proposed a takeover bid offering 506 pence per share.

In May 2009 the company announced that it would restructure its business to be incorporated in Jersey but tax resident in Switzerland. In 2014, Informa was redomiciled in the UK.

The discontinued domain Informaworld provided subscribers with more than half a million journal articles and 13,000 e-books from all its imprints. In June 2011 the journals and e-books transferred to a new website, Taylor & Francis Online. Abstracting and indexing databases and bibliographic databases were to move from Informaworld to Taylor & Francis Online at a later date.

In July 2013, the company announced that Peter Rigby would retire at the end of 2013 to be replaced as CEO by Stephen Carter, who was first appointed a non-executive director in 2010. Also in 2013, Informa acquired the Canadian company Hobby Star Marketing, who ran the Fan Expo Canada and Toronto Comicon comic book conventions. Informa has since acquired other conventions and placed them under the auspices of their Fan Expo HQ brand, including Dallas Comic Con and MegaCon.

In December 2013, Informa acquired the assets of Elsevier Business Intelligence (EBI) from Reed Elsevier. The EBI business unit includes such publications as The Pink Sheet, The Gray Sheet, IN VIVO, Start-Up, and the Strategic Transactions database along with a series of notable conferences. The EBI assets combined with Scrip, Datamonitor and several other publications formed the newly created Pharma Intelligence division of Informa Business Information.

Hi @Dormskirk and hope you have had a good weekend!

I appreciate that the site functions as a collaborative project, however, if these changes seem reasonable to you, could they be implemented? Aware that this request has been open for a month and this would help reduce the queue of pending COI requests, which has grown considerably over the past couple of weeks and might be getting overwhelming for the editors who regularly help out in that area. Thanks again! HisNamesJim (talk) 16:22, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

History Section Request 3

Thanks again @Dormskirk for implementing my last suggested changes.

My next request for the "History" section focuses on revising the first half of the "1998 to 2013" sub-section, focusing on events between 1998-2007.

Could I please suggest:

• For the paragraph referring to business dealings involving Informa between 1998-2006 to be tidied. It currently:

• Is hard to follow.

• Uses incorrect tenses.

• Includes tangential information i.e. the cost of acquiring IIR Holdings, Springer's share price offer to purchase Informa.

• I have also added a new citation to support Informa's rejection of Springer's offer as the Forbes article leads to a dead link.

• Removal of the paragraph about Richard Hooper's replacement by Peter Rigby.

• The Forbes references which are used to cite this paragraph are dead links, and unavailable on the Wayback Machine. There is limited third-party press reporting on this change, which perhaps indicates it is does meet Wikipedia's notability criteria.

• Additionally, I cannot find reliable and verified mention of these positional changes creating controversy with the UK's Combined Code on Corporate Governance, which may be synthesis by a historic editor.

How it would appear:

Proposed Changes

1998 to 2013

Informa itself was created in 1998 by the merger of IBC Group plc (formerly International Business Communications) and LLP Group plc (publisher of Lloyd's List). Since then Informa has expanded considerably, including a 2003 purchase of PJB publisher PJB, 2004 merger with the publishing company Taylor & Francis and a 2005 acquisition of IIR Holdings, a human capital development company, for £768 million. In 2004, Informa merged with academic publisher Taylor & Francis, followed in 2005 with the acquisition of IIR Holdings.

In October 2006, the company was approached by Springer Science and Business Media in a takeover bid, but in early November the Informa board rejected the 630p per share offer. as too low.

In early 2007, chairman Richard Hooper announced his retirement in May and, after consulting with major shareholders, the company moved chief executive Peter Rigby to chairman, and managing director David Gilbertson to Rigby's former post. Informa explained Rigby's move by the need to maintain management stability, although it generated some controversy because it did not follow the advice of the UK's Combined Code on Corporate Governance.

Hi - I would prefer to retain the first sentence as it is as it seems to contain some important historical information about the background of the two companies. I am OK to substitute your sentence on Taylor & Francis and IRR. I am also content to trim the paragraph about the Springer bid. I would prefer to retain the first sentence about the change of management, but would be OK to drop the second sentence if other editors do not object. Dormskirk (talk) 18:29, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

History Section Request 4

Hi there and thank you Dormskirk for reviewing my last request.

My next request involves revising the first half of the "2014 to present" subsection, covering the period 2014-2022.

• Could I please suggest the addition of notable events including:

• Informa's entry to the FTSE100 in 2016.

• Well-publicised business dealings including acquisitions i.e. Penton in September 2016 and divestments i.e. the company's intelligence businesses in early 2022.

• The company's response to the Covid pandemic.

• The change in company chairman in June 2021.

• I have also found three replacement citations for:

• The Dove Medical Press acquisition,

• The sale of UBM Life Sciences,

• The launch of Omdia as the ones on the live article are broken links.

• Removal of tangential information about the launch of Omdia.

How it would appear:

Proposed Changes

In January 2014, Carter became CEO of Informa plc. In 2016 Informa entered the FTSE 100.

In September 2016, Informa acquired Penton followed by Yachting Promotions Inc. in March 2017.

In September 2017, Informa announced that it would be acquiring Dove Medical Press.

In January 2018, Informa announced its intent to acquire UBM plc as part of its strategy to expand in North America and Asia. The transaction was completed in June 2018.

In 2019, Informa sold the former UBM Life Sciences to MJH Associates. Later in 2019, Informa traded its Agriculture Intelligence unit to IHS Markit in exchange for most of IHS Markit's Technology, Media and Telecoms division. Also in 2019, Informa sold the former Penton design & engineering, manufacturing, energy, buildings, and commercial vehicle divisions, and the former UBM Automotive, to Endeavor Business Media.

In January 2020 Informa acquired F1000 Research Limited.

In February 2020, Informa launched Omdia by consolidating its portfolio of market analyst companies, Ovum Ltd, Heavy Reading, Tractica, and the majority of IHS Markit's technology, media and telecommunications research business, into a unified brand. The combined research offering includes more than 400 analysts and consultants covering 150 technology markets. Collectively, Omdia issues over 3,000 research reports annually.

Informa's in-person events were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with many in-person events being cancelled or postponed. Informa's response included a move to virtual events and a focus on its subscription-based and digital products.

In June 2021, John Rishton was appointed as chairman, replacing Derek Mapp.

In December 2021 Informa announced a programme to divest its intelligence businesses. In February 2022, Informa sold its Informa Pharma Intelligence unit to investment fund, Warburg Pincus for $2.6 billion. Following the sale of their intelligence unit, Informa launched a share buyback programme.

It also sold Lloyd's List and EPFR to Montagu Private Equity in 2022.

Hi Dormskirk and apologies for any misunderstanding.

I only added in the references for information which I was proposing to be added, however have now also added those on the existing "live" page. Thanks again for reviewing! HisNamesJim (talk) 16:22, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

That looks better, thanks. I will let others take a look. Dormskirk (talk) 16:34, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

1. Additional meaningfulness would be brought to the reader by having knowledge that these other associations—Tahaluf, Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones, Saudi Arabia's Events Investment Fund, Digital TV Europe, Television Business International and Dubai World Trade Center—are independently notable in Wikipedia. Without such knowledge, its inclusion here runs the risk of raising issues related to WP:COATRACK and WP:CHERRY.
2. To assuage those concerns, kindly provide the H:WIKILINKs for Tahaluf, Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones, Saudi Arabia's Events Investment Fund, Digital TV Europe, Television Business International and Dubai World Trade Center.
3. When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change the {{Edit COI}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=y to |ans=n.

Instituto Superior de Ciências Policiais e Segurança Interna

Request to restore sourced expanded version and update obsolete information

I disclose that I have a professional connection with the Instituto Superior de Ciências Policiais e Segurança Interna (ISCPSI).

On 10 May 2026, a substantially expanded and sourced version of this article was added. That version relied on public and verifiable sources, including the Diário da República, DGES, SIPA and official institutional sources. It corrected outdated information, including the current director, the legal status of the institute, its mission, courses and heraldry.

On 17 June 2026, that version was reverted with the edit summary “Rv AI”. I understand the concern, but the article content was based on cited public sources and was not intended as promotional material.

I request that an uninvolved editor review the sourced version at oldid=1353454135 and consider restoring it, either fully or section by section. At minimum, I request that the following outdated information be corrected:

• Replace the obsolete image with File:ISCPSI logo 2026.png.
• Replace “President Superintendente Abílio Pinto Vieira” with the current director, Chief Superintendent Luís Manuel Peça Farinha, supported by Despacho n.º 10152/2023.
• Correct the establishment date and legal background using the cited Diário da República sources.
• Restore the sourced sections on legal status, mission, police officer training, heraldry and director.

Thank you. David Gonçalo Barreiros dos Santos Gomes (talk) 10:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Partly done: The infobox changes are restored. The sections that were removed can be seen in this diff if another editor wants to review Aloneinthewild (talk) 14:33, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

COI edit request: legal status and mission

I disclose again that I have a professional connection with the Instituto Superior de Ciências Policiais e Segurança Interna (ISCPSI). Following the partial implementation of the previous COI edit request, I would like to submit a narrower request concerning only the legal status and mission of the institute. I am not asking for the full expanded version to be restored at this stage. The current article is very short and does not explain the institute’s legal status or statutory mission. The proposed addition below is based on public and verifiable sources already used in the previous version of the article, especially Decree-Law No. 275/2009, of 2 October, Decree-Law No. 13/2022, of 12 January, and the Directorate-General for Higher Education registry. Suggested section to add after the lead:

Intel Capital

Request: update "RunPod" styling to "Runpod" in portfolio list

The portfolio section mentions "RunPod". The company changed its brand styling to "Runpod" (lowercase p), which is how its official site (https://www.runpod.io) and current independent coverage style it, e.g. the June 2026 financing coverage: "Runpod Raises $100M Led by Summit Partners" (https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/runpod-raises-100m-led-by-summit-partners-to-accelerate-the-ai-developer-cloud-302808689.html). Per MOS:TM (follow the styling used by current independent reliable sources), please update the visible mention to "Runpod". The existing 2024 reference and its title should stay as they are. Disclosure: I am a Runpod employee, per WP:PAID. Thank you. Dan.stotts (talk) 14:23, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Intelligent agent

Proposal: add book to Further reading section

Conflict of interest disclosure: I am the author of the book referenced below. Per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, I am proposing this change here rather than editing the article directly. Proposed addition: I'd like to suggest adding the following to the "Further reading" section: * Nagasubramanian, Dhivya. Agentic AI for Engineers. Apress/Springer, 2026. ISBN 979-8-8688-2360-2. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/979-8-8688-2361-9 Why this is relevant: The book covers [topic — e.g., "agentic AI system design, intelligent agents,percieve-reason-act loop, safety, and enterprise deployment patterns"], which falls within the scope of this article. Independent evidence of notability/relevance: ["The book has been adopted in to 266 libraries across the country https://search.worldcat.org/title/1584648098 " I'd appreciate any feedback from editors on whether this addition is appropriate. Happy to adjust the citation format or wording as needed. Rine7986 (talk) 02:43, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

International Relief and Development Inc.

Edit Request

I am an employee of Blumont and am submitting this request per Wikipedia's COI guidelines. I am not editing the article directly.

Issue: The information box on this page is outdated.

Current Text: • Founded: 1998 • Location: Washington DC, United States • Product: US government grantee and contractor • Key people: Arthur B Keys Jr (Founder), Roger Ervin (President)

Proposed Text: • Founded: 2016 (predecessor organization, International Relief and Development, founded 1998) • Location: Arlington, VA, United States • Product: International Development • Key people: Jonathan Nash, President & CEO (2020–present); Roger Ervin, President & CEO (2014–2019); Arthur B. Keys Jr., Founder & CEO, International Relief and Development (1998–2014)

Reason: Information in the info box is 10+ years old. Blumont was established in 2016 following a restructuring of International Relief and Development (IRD), which was founded in 1998. There have been changes in leadership and the organizations Blumont has worked with go beyond the U.S.government. Sources indicating/reflecting these changes are provided below.

Sources: Org Founding: “Blumont: The new face of IRD.” Devex. January 22, 2016. Accessed March 25, 2026. Leadership:“Interrupted relief: Politics, reform, and the uncertain future of USAID.” The Harvard Independent. April 3, 2025. Retrieved March 30, 2026. “Jonathan Nash on MCC’s evolution from ‘bold experiment’ to data-driven agency.” Devex. February 14, 2019. Retrieved March 25, 2026. “Blumont: The new face of IRD.” Devex.

I appreciate consideration and implementation of these changes if found appropriate. Thank you. UmmmK (talk) 15:47, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

Partly done – I updated the infobox with current information. I did not change the founding date, because Blumont's website describes the organization as having "more than two decades of experience," which suggests it's a continuation of RD rather than a wholly new organization founded in 2016. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 16:29, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

Proposed Structural and Content Updates (COI Disclosure)

Hello Editors,

I am writing to request a review of a proposed rewrite of this article. I want to be upfront: I am an employee of Blumont (formerly International Relief and Development) and have a Conflict of Interest (COI). In keeping with Wikipedia's COI guidelines, I have not and will not edit the article directly. Instead, I developed a fully updated and cited draft in my sandbox and am requesting that independent editors review it and, if appropriate, implement changes.

Extended content

Link to Sandbox Draft: User:UmmmK/sandbox

I recognize this is a big request. The reason I am proposing a full structural reorganization rather than individual edits is that the article currently lacks a standard "History" section, and as a result, historical and current information are intertwined throughout in a way that is difficult to untangle piecemeal. Bringing the article into alignment with standard Wikipedia conventions for org profiles required reorganizing the content as a whole. I have tried to summarize my approach to updates/suggestions below and welcome feedback.

Please know that my goal is not to delete the organization’s history or remove valid criticisms. Rather, the aim is to ensure clarity, update the information to reflect the past decade, and bring the article's structure and tone into alignment with Wikipedia's core policies, particularly Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV) and Due Weight (WP:UNDUE).

Summary of Proposed Changes

1. Adding a Chronological "History" Section: The article currently has no History section. Information about the organization's founding, its early projects, the 2015 controversy, and its rebranding to Blumont in 2016 are scattered across the Leadership and Operations sections without a clear chronological thread. The proposed draft creates a History section that organizes this material in sequence, in an effort to make the article easier to follow. Details about the founder and leadership have been incorporated into this chronology where appropriate, rather than presented as a standalone biography.

2. Balancing Coverage of the 2015 Controversy: The 2015 Washington Post investigation, USAID suspension, and nullification of said suspension are significant events and are preserved in the draft. The proposed change is one of placement and proportion: these events are grouped together chronologically within the History section rather than anchoring the lead and framing the entire article. The draft also removes a small number of phrases that read as editorializing—such as the use of "Beltway Bandit" without context or counter-perspective—in favor of neutral, descriptive language.

3. Updating the "Operations" Section: The current Operations section covers a wide range of projects at uneven levels of detail, with some sections focusing primarily on criticisms of specific old contracts. The proposed changes are:

- Information on work in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans has been moved to the History section, as these programs concluded more than ten years ago. The information has been streamlined for clarity while preserving the substance, including audit findings.

- A note on the Serbia citation: the study cited in the current article (reference 30) was an assessment conducted ten years after the conclusion of efforts by multiple organizations. It was not an evaluation of IRD's work specifically, and the draft revises the text to reflect this more accurately.

- Sections on Mali, Pakistan, and Palestine have been removed, as the cited sources do not appear to support a meaningful connection to the organization's current or historically notable work.

- Colombia and Jordan remain in the Operations section, as citations indicate ongoing Blumont work in both countries. The information and citations have been updated.

4. General Cleanup: Throughout the draft, dead links have been updated or removed and replaced with accessible sources where available.

5. Page Title and Redirect: I would also like to raise the question of the article's title. International Relief and Development no longer exists as a legal entity — Blumont was established in 2016 and IRD has since been legally dissolved. A more accurate framing would be to title the article Blumont, with a redirect from International Relief and Development Inc., and a note that it was ‘formerly known as’ to reflect that the subject of the article is the organization as it currently exists. I recognize this may require a formal move request and is separate from the content changes, but I wanted to flag it here so the community can consider both together.

A final note: The sandbox draft does not include a proposed rewrite of the lead section. I wanted the body content to be reviewed and considered first.

I appreciate the time it takes to even a review a request of this scope, let alone implement changes. I am happy to discuss any of the proposed changes, break them into smaller pieces if that would be more workable (and very much welcome suggestions on the best way to do that), or make other adjustments the community feels are appropriate.

Thank you for your time and consideration. UmmmK (talk) 14:59, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

  Edit request declined  

• The information concerning the Washington Post investigation has not only been removed from the lead, it has been broken up scattered across several subsections within the history section. I was hard pressed to find any of it. The thing which I had no diffculty in finding was the continued reference to the founder as "Dr." in contravention to MOS:DOCTOR. The more it changes, the more it's the same thing I suppose.
• I agree that the article ought not to be a large referendum on the WP investigation. But this compromise draft breaks up that investigation and scatters it like a carcass across several sections, presumably, so no one could find it. This is not the ideal response.
• Another issue is when multipage reports are used as a reference without page numbers. It's as if the reader is expected to read 93 pages to confirm one fact. There needs to be a greater delineation with respect to the use of {{cite report}}.
• Suggestion: At a minimum, there must be one, perhaps two sentences in the lead section mentioning the WP investigation. That investigation arguably led us down the road towards Blumont. The article avoids that fact at its own peril. Page numbers need to be used when any multipage file is linked to, and used as a source in the article. If the document has several instances of use with different page numbers at each use, you can use the {{rp}} template to add the page numbers so that they display inline. And Dr. Arthur Keys needs to be referred to as Arthur Keys, or simply Keys, with each subsequent mention.

Regards,  Spintendo  08:02, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the review and feedback. I updated the sandbox draft to address the points you highlighted:

MOS:DOCTOR: "Dr." has been removed from all references to Arthur Keys throughout the draft.

Page citations: Specific page numbers have been added inline using {{rp}} for all multi-page government reports (references 5 and 6). The page ranges remain in the citation entries as well.

On the lead section: As noted in my original submission, the sandbox draft intentionally does not include a revised lead, as the lead should summarize the article body once that content has been reviewed and agreed upon. This is consistent with standard Wikipedia practice, and the Washington Post investigation and USAID suspension are covered in full in the Investigations section.

Edit Request: Updated Draft (COI Disclosed)

A prior review raised concerns about citation formatting and the MOS:DOCTOR honorific guideline. Those issues have been addressed in an updated draft. A summary of changes is in the thread above from May 2026.

The draft does not include a revised lead section, as the lead should reflect the article body once content has been reviewed and agreed upon.

The updated draft is at User:UmmmK/sandbox. I welcome and appreciate review.
