Expanded and updated draft for community review

Hello! I have drafted an updated and improved Wikipedia article on behalf of Aleris, as part of my work at Beutler Ink. As identified in the section above, some of the article's current sourcing is problematic, and there is also an "update needed" tag which needs to be addressed. I've worked to create an expanded and neutral overview of the company's history, products, and corporate affairs, using Wikipedia-appropriate sourcing. Aleris has reviewed the proposed text for accuracy.

I've saved my draft here for community review. I do not edit the main space directly because of my conflict of interest (which I've disclosed above), so I'm seeking assistance from volunteer editors to copy and paste the provided markup appropriately. Are there any page watchers who are willing to take a look before I start reaching out to relevant WikiProjects for help? I'm happy to address questions here or on my user talk page. Thanks!

Done I have replaced this article entirely with the proposed draft on the basis of (a) my perception of the superiority of the proposed draft, (b) that this article is not the subject of active editing and the handful of edits that have recently occurred appear to be wholly incorporated into the revision, and (c) three weeks have passed since the above notice was posted and no one has objected to it. For full disclosure, this was done in response to a request left on my Talk page by a COI editor involved in this article. Chetsford (talk) 00:26, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
