Draft rejected - why exactly?

[edit]

Hello Waggie,

Your statement irritates me. It consists of only one template. Concrete references to what is exactly insufficient are missing.

It is claimed that the article would be based only on sources that come from the company itself. That is not right.

  • There is no text in the article with "sales oriented language".
  • Links to the company website are only given to support current facts and figures, they have no commercial purpose.

The books used do not come from BLG Logistics. These are:

The newspapers and magazines or websites used also have nothing to do with BLG Logistics. These are:

The article is a translation from the German Wikipedia. There, the article has not been criticized at any point as "promotional" or as a violation of NPOV. Also in the German Wikipedia advertising entries or promotional statements or NPOV texts would not be accepted Atomiccocktail (talk) 08:39, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Waggie:, I don't understand the reasons, that the article would be tilled. BLG is a great Logistic company in Bremen. The company belongs with 63.0 % to the Freie Hansestadt Bremen, that is a country in Germany Bremen (state) and with 12.6 to the Sparkasse in Bremen, a German public bank. Looking to the "Versionsgeschichte" (View history) in the German Wikipedia and you will see, that this lemma startet in 2005 and many (150) persons would formed in this article. Maybe that the lemma is for the english-wikipedia a little bit to long, but that could be not a reason to get out the hole article. Greetings from Bremen --Roland Kutzki (talk) 17:02, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Atomiccocktail and Roland Kutzki, thanks for your responses. I sincerely apologize to Atomiccocktail for not responding sooner. I'm not challenging the sources in the article (much). Mostly, the draft reads like it was written by a marketing department, and it is endemic through-out the article. Some examples would be: "... is a globally-operating seaport and logistics company with headquarters in Bremen" ("...is a seaport and logistics company headquartered in Bremen."), "The Group has more than 100 locations in..." (probably remove altogether, or say "The Group operates offices in...", "In the future, BLG Logistics seeks to stick to its business model and to continue offering services...", in fact almost the entire "The company today" section screams of advertising language and promotion. Thinking about writing the article in a manner that conveys information that someone not interested in BLG's services or stock would want to know. Regarding the questions about the German Wikipedia article vs. this one, I want to explain that different language Wikipedias have different criteria for inclusion and different guidelines for content. While I can read and write some German, I am not familiar with German Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I'm sorry that the template I placed on the page was somewhat misleading. As noted, my concern is primarily with the tone of the content and the volume of content that isn't of interest to the average Wikipedia reader. I would, as a general rule, also remove some of the content only sourced to BLG press releases and financial reports, leaving only particularly relevant content. I hope that you implement these suggestions and that your next reviewer finds it acceptable. On a personal note, I do find the history interesting, and may pick up the "Bremen Seaport" book for some casual reading. I hope this helps explain my decline more effectively. Best wishes! Waggie (talk) 18:46, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Two comments. Firstly, to me it seems this is a "word by word" translation from the German. I'm a native speaker of German myself, so I hope you don't take this amiss, but this kind of translation leads to low-quality English that sounds... off. And in this case, it sounds more promotional in tone than the German original. To give a specific example: "A key factor in the company's creation was the desire of Bremen cotton traders to obtain an improved warehousing and trading infrastructure..." - yes, "Gründung" can be translated as "creation", "Wunsch" as "desire" and so on - but in total, that sounds as if it were written by the corporate PR department, with big words to dazzle the reader. Compare "Bremen cotton traders wanted to have more conveniently located warehouses" (I have no idea what "trading infrastructure" or "Handelsinfrastruktur" is supposed to actually be; the web source doesn't say anything about that).
Secondly, the example statement aboce doesn't cite any independent sources; according to WorldCat, Löbe's book was written in cooperation with the BLG. And that's by far not the most self-aggrandizing claim based on what the BLG says about itself. For example, "BLG participated in the booming container business in the 1980s, which completely reshaped the port economy" - if they're partly responsible for "completely reshaping the port economy", I'd really like to see someone other than themselves write about their role. Similarly, the only independent source for the future strategy doesn't actually discuss the future strategy, leaving the draft's content based on what BLG wants to be known.
So in summary, in key parts of the draft - more than just the examples listed above - we effectively end up with a slightly rehashed corporate press release, not an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not a place for BLG to promote its own vision of itself. Huon (talk) 20:04, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Huon, hello Waggie, hello Roland Kutzki,

Löbe has been an expert on shipping and port management. There is no sound suspicion that he wrote a book that would be just a praise of BLG. Do you have any sources / book reviews that Löbe accuse for that? Above that, I use Löbe for the historical part. This part is not advertising at any point. By the way, Löbe is just one text among many others, which I used for the historical part.

BLG Logistics started in Bremen. Since the crisis triggered by container logistics, business has changed a lot. Today, this is a company that operates worldwide. In my opinion this should be said to distinguish this logistics company from those that operate only in Bremen, Northern Germany or Germany.

Advertising language? Promotion? This article does not encourage anyone to buy something. I cannot understand these allegations. I mainly used annual reports, annual financial statements and website information to substantiate current figures and structures. The dissemination of false information would be punishable, in Germany, among others, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority is in charge to control such information. There is no indication that BLG Logistics has publish wrong information. Atomiccocktail (talk) 07:17, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Löbe, are you stating that the WorldCat entry for that book is incorrect and that the BLG did not have a hand in the writing and/or publishing of that book? If it did, the book is not an independent source about the BLG, no matter what Löbe's credentials may be.
Self-aggrandizement is not limited to attempts to sell something. Of course "website statements" by BLG, just as well as BLG's corporate officials, aim to present BLG (and themselves) in as positive a light as possible. That need not mean they lie outright, but we cannot rely on BLG and BLG-affiliated sources to write a neutral encyclopedia article about BLG. I have provided specific examples above where the tone of the article to me seemed less than neutral, and regarding the "strategy" I'd argue the content itself is suspect without an independent source reporting on that strategy and putting it in context. Huon (talk) 09:29, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Huon. By no means I said that WorldCat is wrong. To indicate that is only a straw man.
General considerations about anniversary publications are interesting, but often not very useful when we have a closer look. Löbe's book has been reviewed in “Bremisches Jahrbuch”. This review is positive. No word about "advertising" or "whitewashing" or something like that. Quote: "As a hitherto missing history of BLG since 1877 and the Bremen ports, Löbe's broad-based representation deserves unlimited recognition.” ("Als eine bisher fehlende Geschichte der BLG seit 1877 und der Bremischen Häfen verdient Löbes breit gefasste Darstellung uneingeschränkt Anerkennung.“). Löbe's book is not the only one used to write the history section. Other books and articles are:

The part about the history is also based on reliable sources such as newspapers or trade journals.
BLG is an important player in contract logistics. That does not seem to be a coincidence, but a strategy and should be said that way. At least that's what I think. Atomiccocktail (talk) 09:58, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Amendment: I have added some independent sources. They, too, reproduce the numbers found in the BLG sources, there are no contradictions here. The particular importance of the contract business unit is also evident in the press coverage, with corresponding sources being added today. See here. Atomiccocktail (talk) 10:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Waggie: Atomiccocktail and I, we are not straw men, and also not the other 150 writers of this articles in the German Wikipedia. Now I'm astonished and angry. BLG is an important German logistic company in Bremen. The company belongs with 63.0 % to the Freie Hansestadt Bremen. After 11 years writing for Wikipedia it's my first time to have this experience. When will be the article comes return? I think, that the article can be shorter in the English Wikipedia as in German Wikipedia. But my English isn't good enough to do it. Greeting --Roland Kutzki (talk) 12:27, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've been in the logistics business and this company is quite notable. Other than to say "global" how does one discribe a company operating around the world from so many branches. I've accepted the draft and it will run through New Page Patrol. Expect some tightening of the wording. Thanks. Legacypac (talk) 05:37, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thx and a minor request

[edit]

Hi Spintendo, hello everybody. Thank you Spintendo for cleaning up the article. The deletion of the tables with the many numbers makes sense, better no numbers than outdated ones.

I have a minor request for the outline. Can you ore someone else add a headline for Chapter 2 (The company today)?
"Structure and divisions" will automatically become the title of chapter 2.1. That means:

== The company today ==
=== Structure and divisions ===

Thank you in advance. Atomiccocktail (talk) 19:23, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Atomiccocktail: I initially deleted that heading because it does not comport with MOS:RELTIME. In that instance, "today" was being used as a euphemism for the present, because of course "the company today" doesn't really apply as a snapshot of the company in a single day — which would, in any event, become invalid 24 hours later — the same reason why the past history of the company isn't labeled as "the company yesterday". Do you have any suggestions for an alternative that could be used? Please advise.  Spintendo  06:38, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Spintendo: Thank you for your feedback. I have two ideas. If you like, choose one.
== Current situation ==
or
== Structures, owners and boards==
