Just like Shell and Exxon/Mobil, Aera doesn't have a perfect track record. I think Aera's shortfalls should be listed just as its parent companies' errors are listed on their own wikipedia pages.

Aera is currently at the forefront of the missing middle controversy in north orange county. Open space that currently serves as a low-production oil field, cow pasture, and a wildlife corridor is in the process of being turned into a 3600 plot housing development. Not only will the construction destroy one of the last open spaces in an increasingly urbanized area, but it will add traffic, pollution, and other waste (visual, energy, trash, etc.) associated with increased population density.

I think the controversy deserves fair say on Aera's webpage. I find it contentious to call Aera environmentally friendly. If there is no reply within three days I will add to the article. LostCause 11:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I just ask that you avoid editorializing by keeping a neutral tone. Please include references. I’d love to read more on the topic.

I’d also appreciate help making the main article more neutral. I'll see about reworking the environmentallu friendly statement. cmntgmry

I added the information, but it might require some stylistic changes to make it sound more neutral. It was tough not to sound biased because the only information I could find concerning Aera's viewpoint was a simple webpage vaguely detailing their development plan. Opponents web pages offered detailed maps of the areas in concern and relatively up to date information, such as the dates and outcomes of town hall meetings. Also, adding a picture to the article might make the issue much clearer but I need to find one and get permission first. The article also looks a bit awkward now since a paragraph above the "Environmental Issues" headline extols Aera's environmentally friendliness...

I hope the article feels more encyclopedic now rather than corporate newsletter-ish. It still needs a lot of work, though. LostCause 15:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks fine. I'll see if I can find more about Aera's side and clean it up. Thanks! --Cmntgmry 04:44, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting

Does anyone else think this article needs some work to conform with the Wiki style? I am thinking specifically of the "business relationships" section. The introduction could also use more content. Warren (talk) 19:35, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Intro needs a source. I will look into it. Warren (talk) 00:13, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Company employees are editing this page

I see taht an editor named 10energy is editing this page to add marketing material. Perhaps we should do something to block this? Anyone else care? Warren (talk) 18:39, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think the next step is to let an administrator know and perhaps revert the edits (if you feel this is a good course of action). I don't think that a user can be blocked over being an employee of the company whose article they are editing. Perhaps it can be done since this person has a single-purpose account, used only for promoting Aera energy and deleting critical content. Just so you know, I won't be getting too hands on with this article because I have a conflict of interest as well, although not one which favors the company.

I really appreciate your honesty. It is very refreshing. You never know who to trust here. I am going to keep watching the page and will escalate if they keep adding promotional content. Warren (talk) 21:47, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
