Splunk

COI edit requests

Hi, I work for a communications firm that represents Splunk, and I have a few suggestions for improving this article:

• It might make sense to remove the "Licensing" section (none of the sources are very notable), or perhaps incorporate its contents into the “Products” section.
• “Notable customers” might be a more apt title for the "Users" section.
• Add to Users/Notable customers: Sports Illustrated has worked with Splunk to analyze NFL data and predict the next play during a football game. (Source: http://www.si.com/nfl/2016/01/20/super-bowl-100-gameplay-computers)
• Rewrite the first paragraph of the Products section, which currently has no citations. My suggested text:

Splunk's core offering, Splunk Enterprise, collects and analyzes high volumes of machine-generated data. It uses a standard API to connect directly to applications and devices. Splunk's goal is to present data reporting in a way that is comprehensible and actionable for executives outside a company's IT department.

References

• Maybe rename Products section as “Technology” (a la Sumo Logic), since each of the items isn’t necessarily a discrete product, and it’s also something of a timeline.
• Add citations for unsourced content that's already in article:
  • As of early 2015, Splunk has over 9,000 customers worldwide. — Update to “As of early 2016, Splunk has more than 10,000 customers worldwide.” (Source: http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAPC5)
  • In 2012, Splunk had its initial public offering, trading under NASDAQ symbol SPLK. — cite to http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/splunk-soars-in-debut/

Due to my COI, I will not be editing the page directly. I'd greatly appreciate any help or feedback. Thank you!

a few more COI edit requests

Hi! As previously noted on this page, I work for a communications firm that represents Splunk. It's been over a year since I last checked in here, and I'd like to request a few updates:

• Six months ago an anonymous editor removed the entire "Customers" section as an "Indiscriminate directory of little encyclopedic value to the reader". What can I do to make this section more valuable? I'd previously worked with Drm310 on this list, and they organized it into sections by application. Would it be helpful if I took that approach further, pared down the list, and wrote brief descriptions of how the example customers use Splunk? Or perhaps the section could be reworked as "Applications," with the case studies providing a few examples of each application of Splunk. Given the fairly technical subject matter, I believe this section can help the reader understand what Splunk's products do.  Not done I took a look at the edit, which falls under WP:PROMO. A list of customers has no place in an encyclopedia. If someone is interested in your products, the Splunk website is linked in the article's infobox. The problem wasn't the format, case studies and paragraphs are also not welcome if they are from Splunk. See WP:Primary sources for more info.
• Infobox updates:
  • Add logo: | logo = Splunk-Logo.jpg  Done I cropped the image and removed the white background.

| logo_alt = Splunk's logo consists of the company's name in a sans-serif font, followed by a "greater than" symbol.  Done

• Remove Hunk from list of products—it's now a legacy product.  Done

• Update in lead:

• As of early 2016, Splunk has over 10,000 customers worldwide. to As of early 2017, Splunk has over 13,000 customers worldwide.  Done
• Add Australia to the list of locations with regional operations.  Done

• Add to "Products" section:

• Splunk debuted Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) in September 2015. ITSI leverages Splunk data to provide visibility into IT performance in a central location. Machine learning-driven analytics can detect unusual behavior and determine its causes and the areas it affects. Done Slight paraphrasing when I added it into the active; however, it is mostly the same. Machine learning is typically just a buzzword, so I have taken it out.

Splunk announced additional machine learning capabilities in September 2016 for its Enterprise, ITSI, Enterprise Security, and User Behavior Analytics offerings. The machine learning toolkit can be installed as a free app on top of the Splunk platform. It includes prepackaged guides for implementing common functionalities, in addition to a toolkit developers can use to create custom machine learning models for analyzing Splunk data. Not done I don't see this as a major update worthy of inclusion in the article. Shorten the section and remove the ad-like language, please.

In 2017, Splunk introduced Splunk Insights for Ransomware, an analytics tool for assessing and investigating potential threats by ingesting event logs from multiple sources. The software is targeted toward smaller organizations like universities, with pricing based on the number of users. The company also launched Splunk Insights for AWS Cloud Monitoring, a service to facilitate enterprises' migration to Amazon Web Services' cloud.  Done I removed the information about pricing

• Add to end of "Splunkbase" section: Notable integrations include the Splunk App for New Relic, which helps developers and IT operations be more involved with customer experience; the ForeScout Extended Module for Splunk, which adds extra security visibility to Internet of Things devices; and Splunk App for AWS, which provides additional visibility for workloads in the cloud.  Done I removed the use cases; however, the rest of the info has been merged

• Add "Corporate affairs and culture" section:

==Corporate affairs and culture==

Splunk's name derives "spelunk", a word for exploring caves that IT specialists also apply to the practice of sifting through data. In its early years, the company attracted attention for its use of irreverent slogans like "Finding all your faults. Just like Mom." and "Take the 'sh' out of IT."  Not done The wording seems overly promotional

In 2016, as part of its Splunk4Good initiative, Splunk pledged to donate $100 million in software and support for nonprofits and schools over a 10-year period. Recipients of the donations include Crossroads Foundation, which uses Splunk for cybersecurity in collecting online donations, and Team Rubicon, which uses Splunk for big data analysis to organize veterans for volunteer opportunities after a disaster. Splunk employees also receive 3 days of paid time off annually to volunteer at an organization of their choice.

Splunk also offers an Academic Program to train new Splunk users for free. In 2016 Splunk announced a global expansion of the program, which then reached 339 U.S. institutions and hosted more than 5 million students through a partnership with Internet2.

 Done As decided below, I have added a mention of the software donations, but nothing else.

I won't be editing the article directly due to my COI, so I'd appreciate help or feedback in getting these updates implemented. Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 14:31, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi MaryGaulke. Sorry for the delay in responding to the request. I have begun merging these changes into the main article. Next to each item, I have, and will continue to respond with a done tag or a not done tag explaining why. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please leave a message below. Have a nice day! Daylen (talk) 21:29, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

@Daylen: Thanks so much for your help! Happy to reformat or provide additional sources for anything where it's helpful. Mary Gaulke (talk) 14:54, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Daylen, thanks again for taking the time. I really appreciate your feedback.

• Re: Including use cases—I totally understand how a list of customers isn't helpful; I was envisioning something more qualitative, a bit like this section of Raspberry Pi. Since the sources come from external coverage, not Splunk comms, I don't think this falls under WP:PRIMARY.
• Additions to Splunkbase section—Just want to make sure this didn't get lost in the shuffle.
• From what I can gather, corporate social responsibility is sometimes encyclopedic; cf. Apple, Google, Sony. The $100m pledge, in particular, received extensive external coverage. Perhaps an abbreviated version of this section would be appropriate?

Thanks again! Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:21, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Typically, I flat out deny corporate social responsibility sections; however, would a limited section be okay in this case. Also, can someone please give me some guidance with the customers section, I still believe that it is unencylapedic; however, MaryGaulke would like a second opinion. Thanks for your assistance! Daylen (talk) 21:30, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

A list of customers of that kind is useless. If we could write sourced content about their sales strategy, for example whether they focus on specific sectors, that would be useful, but merely a context-free list of customer names is both useless and somewhat pathetic. Just imagine how our Microsoft and Apple, Inc. articles, or Xerox, or any other truly big company, would look like if we tried to add every sourced mention of someone using their products.

Regarding the "corporate affairs and culture", that's a decidedly mixed bag. The $100 million of software licenses and related services that they'll donate over ten years indeed seems worthy of mention, including the information in this source that it won't actually cost them anything close to $100 million and may at the same time help with employee morale and turnover. What I found even more interesting about that source is that it mentions another relevant fact about Splunk that currently isn't part of the article, namely that they're running at a loss of more than $80 million per quarter. Turning that one press release and its media coverage into two paragraphs seems undue, though. Huon (talk) 22:52, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you both. I'm happy to let both drop for now or revise the Corporate affairs section per Huon's suggestions, whatever you prefer. @Daylen: What about the Products and Splunkbase suggestions above? I believe those are the only remaining unaddressed pieces. Thanks again. Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:26, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

@MaryGaulke: Please take a look at the second bullet point under products; however, everything else has now been addressed. As such, I have went ahead and closed this request. Cheers, Daylen (talk) 16:49, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

@Daylen: Thank you for your patience and thoughtful consideration here. How's this revision look to the machine learning paragraph? Mary Gaulke (talk) 18:22, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Splunk announced additional machine learning capabilities in September 2016 for several of its major product offerings. The machine learning toolkit can be installed for free on top of the Splunk platform.  Done Daylen (talk) 05:18, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Requesting edits to the History section

I'm a connected contributor with a declared COI. I'd like to suggest the following edit to the Company Growth subsection of the History section. I think the detailed list of acquisitions is unnecessary, so I've replaced it with a consolidated paragraph that provides highlights. I have also pulled in information from the Recent History subsection, so it could be eliminated. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing feedback.

Hi @Encoded, I hope you're doing well. This request is a bit of a restructuring, so I was wondering if you had an opinion about shortening this section in this way. It seems a bit overly detailed to me, but I'd value your opinion. Thanks! SBCornelius (talk) 16:52, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Partly done:

Agreed this significantly reduced unnecessary details so implemented edit with minor adjustments found in supporting sources.

Statio Shiv Shakti

Edit request: name the researcher behind the 3-D elevation map (COI)

Disclosure: I am the researcher who created the elevation map described in this article, so per the conflict-of-interest guideline I am requesting these changes rather than making them myself.

Two related requests:

1. The article currently says: "German and Indian researchers managed to create a 3-D elevation map of the region by blending data received from the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter's OHRC camera." The cited source (reference 15, India Today, 6 February 2026) attributes the map to a single named researcher. I suggest aligning the sentence with the source:

"Independent researcher Chandra Tungathurthi created a 3-D elevation map of the region using stereo imagery from the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter's OHRC camera."

2. Optionally, a citation for the map itself, i.e. the original publication describing the model and methodology (30 cm/pixel DEM, open photogrammetric pipeline): https://moonandbeyond.blog/p/chandrayaan-2-ohrc-high-resolution-bump-map-shivshakti-point I recognize this is a self-published primary source; I offer it as the canonical location of the work alongside the existing secondary coverage, and defer to editors on whether to include it. A preprint also documents the model: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.14993

Thank you for considering it. tckb (talk) 22:20, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Proposed update to lead, business career and political career sections (COI disclosure)

{{edit coi}}

I am Stephen Mold, the subject of this article, and I have a conflict of interest (see my user page for disclosure). In line with WP:COI I am not editing the article directly and am requesting that an independent editor review the following proposed changes. I'm happy to have any part of this rejected, edited, or trimmed.

1) Lead – replace with: Stephen Graham Mold (born January 1968) is an English businessman and former Conservative Party politician. He is a director of several companies, including M2 Innovation Ltd, a digital and leadership advisory business, and Euro Securitas Ltd, a security and fire-protection group brand. He served as the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire from 2016 to 2024, and chaired the Police ICT Company (Police Digital Service) as the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners' lead on police digital services. He did not stand for re-election in 2024, following controversy over remarks he made about a colleague.

2) New "Business career" section (insert after "Early life and education"): Mold has held a number of company directorships over three decades, spanning retail, technology and, more recently, digital advisory and security services.

In April 2024 he was appointed a director of M2 Innovation Ltd, a Northampton-based consultancy whose stated focus is market entry, cyber security, leadership advisory and digital transformation for businesses and public-sector organisations. In March 2025 he was appointed a director of Euro Securitas Ltd, which his own website describes as a group brand being developed for security and fire-protection businesses.

According to his own website, Mold is also involved in Built by Owners, described as an advisory venture for business owners considering growth, acquisition or exit, and in Earthlets, an e-commerce business; as of 2026 neither venture has attracted independent press coverage.

Mold's earlier business interests include two now-dissolved companies. He was a director of The Big Red Warehouse Limited, appointed in 2015, which was later dissolved. He also ran Uber Shop Ltd, a Northampton-based retailer of baby products, from 2005; the company was placed into creditors' voluntary liquidation in October 2024 and formally dissolved in September 2025.

Sources: Companies House filings for M2 Innovation Ltd (15674241), Euro Securitas Ltd (16292034), Uber Shop Ltd (05379093, dissolved), The Big Red Warehouse Limited (09530299, dissolved); stephenmold.com (self-published, used under WP:ABOUTSELF for uncontested facts only).

3) "Political career" section – replace existing prose with: In the 2010 general election, Mold was the Conservative candidate for Derby North, losing by 613 votes. He had previously stood unsuccessfully in the 2007 Northampton Borough Council election, and was elected as a district councillor for South Northamptonshire in 2015, resigning the seat in 2016 after his election as police and crime commissioner.

Mold was elected Police and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire in May 2016, succeeding Adam Simmonds, and was re-elected in 2021. Governance of the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service transferred to his office on 1 January 2019, creating the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner role. As the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners' lead for the Police Digital Service, he chaired the Police ICT Company board, working on shared digital and cyber standards across the 43 police forces of England and Wales.

His tenure attracted criticism over a vehicle-repair facility purchased for £3.3 million in 2021 that was sold at a loss in 2023, and over his July 2023 appointment of Nicci Marzec as interim fire chief, made without going through an appointment panel. Mold said the appointment was intended to drive cultural change within the fire service; the Fire Brigades Union criticised it over Marzec's lack of operational firefighting experience, and she stood down after ten days.

In March 2024, after it emerged that he had used a sexist slur about the newly appointed fire chief in a private meeting, Mold announced he would not stand for re-election. He was succeeded by Danielle Stone in May 2024.

Shortly before leaving office, Mold selected Nikki Watson, a former senior police officer, as his preferred candidate for permanent Chief Fire Officer; she took up the post in May 2024 under his successor. A subsequent HMICFRS inspection, revisited in 2025, found the service had made enough improvement to close a cause of concern on equality, diversity and inclusion that had been raised during the 2023–25 assessment cycle, while setting a further area for improvement on monitoring those objectives.

This keeps every fact currently cited in the article (2010 election, council seats, PFCC election/re-election, the Earls Barton building loss, the FBU's criticism of the Marzec appointment, her resignation, and the 2024 non-standing decision), condensed, and adds newly-sourced facts: the Police ICT Company/Police Digital Service chairmanship (UKAuthority, APCC), Mold's own stated rationale for the Marzec appointment as reported at the time (Northampton Chronicle/Daventry Express), and the Nikki Watson appointment and subsequent HMICFRS finding (ITV News Anglia; HMICFRS). It omits the previously-published detail about speculation over a personal relationship with Marzec and Mold's denial of it — happy to discuss if reviewers feel that should stay for completeness.

Small wording fixes

{{edit COI}}

Got a COI, Im still learning best methods and practices here. Im helping Steven Ilous with his page so I'm not editing directly (I disclosed this on the box above). Two small wording fixes in the Feature and Lollipop Racing section, both to trim promo tone:

Please change "Feature's flagship project is Lollipop Racing" to "Feature's project is Lollipop Racing". "flagship" reads a bit promotional.

Please change "develops Smart Content, a technology that lets audiences interact with content and receive rewards such as coupons, early access and digital collectibles" to "develops Smart Content, a technology that lets audiences interact with content." ..The list of rewards reads like ad copy.

Corrections and additions to the Notable deals section

{{edit COI}} Hello, I represent Stonepeak and am requesting the following correction and additions to the Notable deals section of the article.

• Modify the current seventh listing in the section to reflect the accurate outcome of the Assura transaction. Changes indicated in gray:

In April 2025, it was announced that Stonepeak and KKR had agreed to buy Assura plc, a UK-listed real estate company, in a deal worth £1.6 billion. The deal is set to complete in autumn 2025 and is subject to approval. {{highlight|Primary Health Properties submitted a competing bid, which was accepted by shareholders in August 2025.|lightgray}}

• Add the following deals not currently included in this section:

In March 2024, Stonepeak completed the acquisition of Textainer, a marine cargo container leasing company, in a deal that valued the company at approximately $7.4 billion including debt.

In May 2025, Stonepeak acquired a 65% majority interest in the German and Austrian retail fuel brand JET in a joint venture with Phillips 66.

In August 2025, Stonepeak introduced WahajPeak, its first renewable energy platform in the Middle East, focused on industrial-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects across the Gulf Cooperation Council and broader MENA region.

Request updated stats for Payment processing

{{Edit COI|summary=Request updates to Payment processing based on Financial Times reporting|answered=yes}}

Greetings! I work at Stripe and have been working on suggestions for improvements to this article. Given feedback from editors previously, I have familiarized myself with Wikipedia's rules for conflict of interest editors to make my requests in line with best practices. Below is an improvement I propose to this article.

Proposed change:

• In the Payment Processing section, please add the following:

By 2025, Stripe's platform powered more than 5 million businesses directly or via platforms, including 90% of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, 80% of the Nasdaq 100, and 25% of all newly incorporated Delaware corporations through Stripe Atlas.

{{reflist-talk}} CianStripe (talk) 11:07, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

{{partly done}} See my edit here focusing on number of businesses serviced; language like "Stripe's platform powered..." sounds promotional. Best, Spencer^T•C 07:07, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing. Noting your "Stripe's platform powered" justification. For the remaining proposed wording, could you share some insights as to why it is not considered? This will help to inform future requests by us. For example, could the following be considered "90% of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, 80% of the Nasdaq 100, and 25% of all newly incorporated Delaware corporations" omitting "through Stripe Atlas." in line with your earlier rationale? CianStripe (talk) 08:08, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

IMO the other statistics border on promotional-sounding trivia, numbers that can change frequently year-to-year, and also was a near word-for-word copy of the original quote in the article. Spencer^T•C 17:43, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Understood, thank you for your feedback. CianStripe (talk) 07:31, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Image of Dublin HQ available

{{Edit COI|summary=Add image of dual headquarters in Dublin|answered=yes}}

Greetings! I work at Stripe and have uploaded a new image of the company's dual headquarters in Dublin (File:Stripe Dublin office.jpg). I'm curious if editors will consider adding the Dublin office image in addition to the San Francisco image to the infobox, perhaps using Template:Multiple image.

Addition of Magic Quadrant mention

{{Edit COI|D|ADV|summary=Add Magic Quadrant mention}}

Greetings! I work at Stripe and have the following request.

• Proposed change: I would like to request the addition of our recognition in Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant report in the History section of this article. In the report, it says that "Stripe is a Leader in this Magic Quadrant because it delivers good recurring billing capabilities, is very easy to deploy, and has leading market share". Since this wording is too promotional for Wikipedia, I suggest adding the following sentence:

Stripe was recognized as a leader in Gartner’s 2025 Magic Quadrant for Recurring Billing Applications.

{{reflist-talk}}

Thanks. CianStripe (talk) 08:52, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

{{Not done}} This appears to be promotional content without independent secondary coverage. Wikipedia generally should not catalog awards, rankings, or vendor recognitions unless reliable independent sources show that it is due. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 17:10, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

{{replyto|Sibshops}} I have seen other accolades listed in cases where the recognition itself is notable, such as Gartner's Magic Quadrant. Two independent trade publications that have no ties to Stripe or Gartner (Fintech Marketing Hub and nocash.ro) have written about it, if these sources are helpful. Let me know if this changes anything, and I appreciate you taking a look here. ~2026-30716-67 (talk) 08:17, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

These don't appear to be generally agreed upon reliable sources. Independent secondary sources which would support inclusion would include books, news media, or scholarly works. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 11:49, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Additional services in the Technology company section

{{edit COI|summary=Addition of new technological services to article}}

Greetings! I work at Stripe and have the following request.

• Proposed change: I'd like to suggest adding a few more of our main AI-related services to the article, specifically under the Technology company section. I think these would fit best if we organized them into clear subsections, but am open to editor feedback on the placement of them in the article:

{{box| {{fake heading|sub=1|Technology company}} {{fake heading|sub=3|Agentic Commerce Suite}} Stripe launched the Agentic Commerce Suite in December 2025 to allow businesses to sell inside AI apps and to agents directly. It enables businesses to make their products discoverable, checkout, and accept payments via a single integration. Businesses including Best Buy, Coach, Quince, and Kate Spade are building with the Agentic Commerce Suite. By May 2026, Stripe had announced agentic commerce partnerships with OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta and Google.

{{fake heading|sub=3|Machine Payments Protocol}} Stripe and Tempo launched the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), an open standard for machine payments, in March 2026. It allows businesses to programmatically accept payments directly from agents.

{{fake heading|sub=3|Stripe Projects}} Stripe Projects launched in May 2026. It is a product that allows developers or their agents to sign up for, purchase, and integrate internet services directly with LLMs. The service centralizes the tools needed to launch software products. {{Reflist-talk}} }}

Addition of sentence about Stripe Radar

{{edit COI|summary=Addition of new technological services to article}}

Greetings! I work at Stripe and have the following request.

• Proposed change: I would like to add the following sentence after the sentence that says "The same year, it expanded its services to include a billing product for online businesses, allowing businesses to manage subscription recurring revenue and invoicing". New information explains an essential function of Radar within that paragraph. I suggest adding: In May 2026, Stripe announced that Radar will also be used to prevent token theft.

Edit request: sourced note on separate shooting rights ownership

{{edit COI}}

I have a conflict of interest because I do work related to Studley Royal Shoot, so I’m not editing directly. I’d like to request consideration of the following addition to the “Public ownership” section, after the sentence noting the National Trust’s 1983 acquisition:

"The National Trust states that the freehold shooting rights at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal are separately owned by Studley Royal Shoot, which operates independently of the Trust."

This is supported by the National Trust’s page “The Shoot at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal”, which states that Studley Royal Shoot owns the freehold shooting rights and is entirely separate from the National Trust.

If editors think this is undue weight or better phrased another way, please adjust or decline. ~~~~ Sjvdm (talk) 20:30, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Correcting 3 Unsourced, Recent Changes

{{edit COI|summary=Remove 3 unsourced, recent changes.|A}}

Hello editors, Synopsys has hired me to correct a few small edits that were recently made by an anonymous user to Synopsys’s page. None of these changes is supported by any footnote, let alone an RS. There’s a typo in change #3. And the wording in changes #2 and #3 is ambiguous. Here are the details. Thank you for considering these requests.

Unsourced Change #1

In the “geographic presence” section, the anonymous user changed “more than 8,000 people” in India to “more than 7,000 people” in India.

The user did not provide a source for this change.

For reference, https://www.synopsys.com/company.html says Synopsis has “~28,000” employees around the world, but it doesn’t provide a breakdown by location.

For additional reference, Synopsys’s 2024 10-K says, “As of our fiscal 2024 year-end” — which is before Synopsys acquired Ansys — “Synopsys had approximately 20,000 employees. Approximately 20% of these employees are in the United States and 80% are in other locations around the world.”

Beyond this, Synopsys doesn’t provide location-specific headcounts.

I therefore recommend changing this:

India serves as a critical hub, especially in Bengaluru, Noida, and Hyderabad, where Synopsys employs more than 7000 people.

to this:

Synopsys also has offices in India, including in Bengaluru, Noida, and Hyderabad.

Unsourced Change #2

In the “geographic presence” section, the anonymous user changed “hundreds of additional employees” to “thousands of additional employees.”

(Here’s the full sentence: “In the United States, the company’s largest concentration of employees is in the San Francisco Bay Area, comprising more than 1,480 staff, with additional sizable clusters in Austin, Boston, Portland, and Hillsboro, with thousands of additional employees.”)

This change presumably refers to Synopsys’s offices in Austin, Boston, Portland, and Hillsboro, but, again, there is no source. Nor can there be; Synopsys doesn’t report headcount by office.

I defer to editors on the best remedy:

a. Remove “thousands of additional employees.”
b. Remove the whole sentence (which likewise lacks a source).
c. Add a “citation needed” template at the end of this sentence

Unsourced Change #3

In the “geographic presence” section, the anonymous user added the following sentence:

The total number of US employee is more than 7000.

This is an odd addition, for several reasons:

a. There is no source.
b. “Employee” should be “employees.”
c. The sentence seems to imply that Synopsys employs 7,000 people *in India*, but the sentence doesn’t mention India.
d. Synopsys doesn’t report the number of its people in India.

Therefore, it seems that this addition should be reverted, that this sentence should be deleted.

Thank you very much for your close review and eagle eye, @Mustbeotherwise! (Synopsys’s most recent 10-K does indeed say, “As of fiscal 2025 year-end, Synopsys had approximately 28,000 employees, with about 23% in the United States.”) Thanks again. P.S. Cool user name!

New Software for AI Chips

{{edit COI|ans=n|summary=Add 2 Sentences About New Tech}}

Hello editors, Last week, Synopsys (a client of mine) held its Converge conference, where the company's CEO announced the first software to emerge from the company's $35 billion acquisition of Ansys. This announcement was covered by media outlets such as Reuters and Investor's Business Daily and seems like news that readers would want to know. I therefore wonder if the following sentence, at the end of the "Adoption of AI technologies" section, might make sense? Thanks for your consideration. Signed, BlueRoses13 (talk) 15:22, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

In March 2026, Synopsys announced multiphysics fusion technology, the first EDA software resulting from the company's Ansys acquisition. As of June 2026, customers of multiphysics fusion include Nvidia, MediaTek, and Cisco.

Why is multiphysics fusion noteworthy; why should Wikipedia tell readers about it? Converge Digest calls the tech a “significant milestone.” CNET France says it’s a “major shift” in the upstream design of processors. According to GamesBeat, “The result is faster and less costly chips and systems.” Fierce Sensors adds, “It will likely challenge conventional EDA rivals like Cadence Design Systems ... [and] Siemens.”

{{Edit COI}}

Hello, I am affiliated with tado° GmbH and am disclosing this per WP:PAID. The current article has not been substantially updated since 2017 and containa outdated information. I am requesting that an independent editor review the following changes. All claims are sourced to third-party publications. I understand that editors may modify, condense, or decline parts of this request and am happy withy any small update possible.

Infobox

Industry — change from "Home automation" to "Home energy management"

• Panasonic Newsroom Global (17 March 2025) describes tado° as "IoT-based home energy management platform provider": https://news.panasonic.com/global/press/en250317-3
• TechCrunch (26 January 2023) describes tado° as "smart home energy startup": https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/26/european-smart-thermostat-startup-tado-raises-46-8m-after-ipo-plans-falter/

Lead paragraph

Current text: "tado° GmbH is a German technology company headquartered in Munich (Germany) and a manufacturer of home thermostats and air conditioning controls."

Proposed replacement:

tado° GmbH is a German home energy management company headquartered in Munich. The company develops smart thermostats, smart air conditioning controls, heat pump optimization and energy management software. tado° was founded in Munich by Christian Deilmann, Johannes Schwarz and Valentin Sawadski in 2011. Panasonic Corporation is a strategic investor in the company. As of March 2026, tado° reported more than 5.5 million connected devices in over one million homes across Europe.

History — additions

The existing History text (2011–2015) should remain unchanged. The following text should be appended as a continuation, without new subsection headers:

In October 2018, Amazon invested in tado° through its Alexa Fund as part of a $50 million funding round. By February 2020, tado° had sold over one million smart thermostats across Europe and entered into partnerships with major energy providers, including ENGIE Home Services and Total Direct Energie.

In January 2022, tado° acquired aWATTar GmbH, a Vienna-based provider of dynamic energy tariffs. The acquisition expanded tado°'s offering into a broader home energy management platform, combining smart heating control with time-of-use electricity tariffs that shift consumption to cheaper and greener hours.

In 2024, tado° launched the tado° X product line, including the Smart Thermostat X, Smart Radiator Thermostat X, Heat Pump Optimizer X, and Wireless Temperature Sensor X. The tado° X devices use the Matter smart home standard and the Thread wireless protocol. In the same year, tado° entered a partnership with Panasonic Corporation, which invested €30 million in the company in March 2025.

Products and services

The current Products section describes only tado° Heating (2012) and Smart AC Control (2015). The product line has changed significantly scince this article was created. Proposed replacement:

tado° develops hardware, software and services for home energy management. The company's products are compatible with around 95% of Europe's residential heating systems, including gas boilers, oil heating, heat pumps, district heating, underfloor heating and air conditioning from multiple manufacturers.

The current product line was launched in 2024. The devices connect to the tado° app, which provides scheduling, remote control and energy reporting. tado° products support the Matter smart home standard, enabling compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit.

The tado° all also offers AI Assist, a subscription service that uses machine learning to automate and optimise heating.

Through its subsidiary aWATTar, tado° also offers dynamic energy tariffs in Germany and Austria. The platform integrates those tariffs and also supports intelligent electric vehicle charging and photovoltaic integration. ~2026-30276-91 (talk) 11:38, 21 May 2026 (UTC) ~2026-30276-91 (talk) 11:38, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Request: Please review the following neutral, sourced updates to the article's history and discography sections. The current article still has an update tag from September 2021, the production discography stops at 2022, and a few newer entries need year/source cleanup.

Specific changes requested

• Add one neutral History sentence about Take a Daytrip launching the No Idle publishing imprint with Universal Music Publishing Group in 2022, sourced to Variety.
• Add one neutral History sentence noting that NYU's Clive Davis Institute named Denzel Baptiste and David Biral artists-in-residence for fall 2025, sourced to NYU Tisch.
• After the reviewed updates are made, remove the stale {{tl|Update}} tag dated September 2021.
• Fix the Juice WRLD production entries:
  • Keep "Legends" and "Rich and Blind" as 2018 tracks.
  • Remove "Doom" from the 2018 grouped row.
  • Keep "Doom" only as a 2021 Fighting Demons production entry.
• Replace the stale "TBA" album field for "THE SCOTTS" with THE SCOTTS - Single.
• Correct the newer single currently listed as "Pervesa" to "PERVERSA"; change the year from 2025 to 2024; and treat it as a collaborative single by Pedro Sampaio, J Balvin and Take a Daytrip, rather than as a Pedro Sampaio featured single.
• Add the publicly sourced post-2022 production entries listed below, limited to rows with public song-level metadata or independent coverage.

Notes

"WYD", "Ready, Ok", "Heart Eye Reference", and "Forever & Ever" were checked as public audit candidates, but I am not requesting their addition in this first request because the available sourcing is either platform-aggregate only or not yet strong enough for a clean article edit. The charted-songs table is also unchanged here; Billboard Canada's 2025 coverage of "At Peace" could support a separate chart-table request if editors want to update chart peaks.

~2026-34376-69 (talk) 00:57, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Follow-up to simplify review: This request is large, so I am happy for editors to handle it in phases. The discography is the priority; the History additions can wait or be skipped for now.

A useful first pass would be the discography cleanup items only:

• correct "Pervesa" to "PERVERSA", change the year from 2025 to 2024, and describe it as a collaborative single by Pedro Sampaio, J Balvin, and Take a Daytrip, using the Apple Music source already provided above;
• change the "THE SCOTTS" album field from TBA to THE SCOTTS - Single, using the Apple Music source already provided above;
• remove "Doom" from the 2018 Juice WRLD grouped row and keep it only as the 2021 Fighting Demons row, using the Apple Music/Shazam sources already provided above.

If an editor has time for the next discography pass, the most important additions are the post-2022 production-discography rows for "Tiki Taka Toco", "Life Size", "South", "O Cara Do Trem", "PERVERSA", "Light Again!", "Story", "Hotbox", "At Peace", and "No Trespassing". Thanks. ~2026-35094-33 (talk) 02:31, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Proposed updates to Talmage Boston article

{{edit COI|summary=Add independent sourcing and update lead/career information}}

Disclosure: I am employed by Commercial Ideas and am requesting edits on behalf of Talmage Boston. I have a conflict of interest and am not editing the article directly.

Request 1: Replace the current lead sentence with the following:

Talmage Boston (born October 1, 1953) is an American attorney, author, and historian whose published work has focused on baseball, law, and U.S. presidential history.

Reason: This wording is neutral, concise, and better supported by independent and institutional sources.

References:

• Dallas Innovates profile on Boston and his work as a litigator and historian.
• Dallas Morning News author page noting his history books and more than 30 years of op-eds and book reviews.
• Washington Independent Review of Books review of How the Best Did It.

Request 2: Add the following career section:

Boston has written books on baseball, law, and presidential history. His 2024 book, How the Best Did It: Leadership Lessons From Our Top Presidents, was reviewed by the Washington Independent Review of Books, which described it as a study of leadership centered on eight U.S. presidents.

Reason: This adds independently sourced career information without promotional language.

References:

• Washington Independent Review of Books review of How the Best Did It.
• Dallas Innovates profile.
• Dallas Morning News author page.

Adding a Visual Art Section (COI edit)

{{edit COI}}

The current article primarily characterises the subject as a filmmaker. However, the subject has also produced work outside of film, including visual art projects (e.g., photography exhibitions). I am therefore proposing to add a new visual art section after the current film section to reflect the subject’s broad range of work, which has also been documented in Singapore mainstream media.

If this section is accepted (in part or in full), I would also suggest editing (through a separate edit request) the lead to describe the subject as a filmmaker and visual artist, so that the lead accurately summarises the article. Thank you!

Note: Before becoming familiar with Wikipedia’s COI and paid editing policies, I had directly edited the article, which was then entirely reverted. After reviewing the relevant policies, I have since switched to using the edit request process instead.
