EverNote (the old Windows notetaking app with capital 'N')

[edit]

As a former buyer and user of EverNote (the old Windows notetaking application with a capital 'N'), I fail to understand why, except maybe for corporate tampering, every trace of the pre-Web product(s) has been wiped out of the article. The old EverNote (1.x, 2.x) had some quite devoted followers, who were left out in the cold by EN. Just added a few bits back. --Mottenkiste (talk) 23:49, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox updates

[edit]

Hello. I'm an employee at Evernote and am here on behalf of the company. I know that editing the Evernote page directly is forbidden by Wikipedia's guidelines, so I'll be proposing edits on this Talk page for other editors to review and hopefully implement. I will try to be as transparent as possible and disclose my COI whenever I post here.

My first request is a simple infobox edit. I wanted to add two items to the Types category: Note-taking software and Integrated software. Evernote is listed on the Comparison of note-taking software Wikipedia page and it fits the Integrated software page's definition in that it "combines the most commonly used functions of many productivity software programs into one application."

My second request is a little more complicated. I see that the Stable release category in the infobox doesn't have a button that makes it easy to update the current version. I've noticed these buttons on pages like Procreate and Messenger. If any editor knows how to add a button like this, I would really appreciate it, as Evernote tends to release a new version of its software about every two weeks.

In the meantime, could an editor update the current Stable release template? The latest version numbers for each platform are available at the notes page on Evernote's website.

I would like to talk with editors in the future about the overall structure of the Evernote page, but I thought it would be best to start with these initial infobox issues. If anyone can help me out with them, I'd be very grateful! Thanks, Evernotebrian (talk) 23:55, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done: I have added the requested types and updated the version number, and removed Productivity software as integrated software is a type of productivity software. I'm not sure how to add an edit button for the version numbers, though. Best regards, Vukky TalkGuestbook 09:15, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Really appreciate the help, User:Vukky. It's okay that you couldn't figure out the edit button problem. It seems like a tricky coding issue. I'll have some more substantial edits for this page coming in the near future, in case you want to check those out. If not, no worries! Thanks again!

Updating company section

[edit]

Hey there! I see that most of the infobox updates have been made, which is great. Thanks again to user:Vukky for making those.

I'm now moving on to a new edit request. The current version of the Company section lacks content on more recent developments at Evernote and some of the sourcing on the existing copy isn't very good. So I composed a new draft that I think solves both those problems while also organizing the section with subheadings and adding some relevant details about the company's ups and downs over the years.

Because this draft is lengthy, I put it on my user page so that editors can easily review it, ask questions, and/or air criticisms without cluttering this Talk page. I also wanted to suggest changing the heading for this section from Company to History, as that's a more accurate description of what it is, stretching from Evernote's origins up to (roughly) present day.

Just to be totally clear: I'm an Evernote employee, which is why I'm being extra careful here. I will continue to refrain from posting directly to the company's page and will always ask other, non-COI editors to look over my work to ensure it complies with Wikipedia's guidelines.

If anyone could take a look at my draft and perhaps approve it, that would be awesome. Thanks. Evernotebrian (talk) 18:11, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone, I'm Greg and I also work for Evernote. I'm stepping in for Brian while he is on leave, and will be following the guidelines for conflict of interest just as he has done. Now that I've introduced myself, I wanted to check if User:Vukky had seen this request and might be able to help provide some feedback or suggest any other places I could look for help? Thanks! Evernote Greg Evernote Greg (talk) 19:17, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, user:Kvng! I noticed that you've been active in the Software WikiProject, where I posted a note asking for help with this request. I'm pinging you directly to ask if you have interest in reviewing Brian's proposed History draft. You can obviously read his request and my follow-up note above, but for ease of reference, I'll drop a link here to the draft itself. If you don't have time to review or don't wish to, that's totally fine, but I'm a bit stuck here and thought I would ask for assistance. Thank you! Evernote Greg (talk) 14:24, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are exceptions but I don't usually work on company articles. Have you already reached out at WP:COMPANIES? ~Kvng (talk) 19:40, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done for now: @Evernotebrian@Evernotebrian Thanks for your suggestion. I think your draft as it currently stands is mostly appropriate, but I have two important modifications that should be made before implementation.
1. To keep valuable and appropriate content in this article, split off the current subsection "Operations" and make it its own section, leaving its contents unchanged. Your "History" section can then be added below that.
2. In your draft, replace "The company achieved a billion-dollar valuation in 2012." with "Since then, the company raised an additional $50 million in funding led by Sequoia Capital and Morgenthaler Ventures, and another $70 million in funding led by Meritech Capital and CBC Capital. On November 30, 2012, Evernote raised another $85 million in funding led by AGC Equity Partners/m8 Capital and Valiant Capital Partners. It achieved a billion-dollar valuation that same year." All but the last sentence is from the current article; please ensure that you retain and appropriately format the citations so that they remain in the same place.
Please update your draft or (for easier documentation) create a new one that contains these modifications. You can ping me when you're done so that I can give final confirmation. Actualcpscm (talk) 13:40, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Operations section

[edit]

Hey again! Our request proposing updates and a heading change to the Company section appears to have hit a snag, which I understand, since it's a longish draft that might take a while to review. I thought I would try putting forward an easier-to-implement edit request in the form of a short Operations section, which contains key details about Evernote and how it functions. Here's my suggested text and references for that new section:

Evernote is a privately owned company headquartered in Redwood City, California.[1][2] Its current CEO, Ian Small, has been in his position since October 2018.[3][4] Evernote currently has domestic offices in Austin, San Diego, and Bothell, Washington.[5][6][7] It also has international offices in India, Chile, and Japan.[6][8][9] As of May 2020, the company employed 282 people.[10]

Obviously I'd still like some help with the above Company request, but getting this Operations request reviewed and approved would at least start to fill in some of the current page's information gaps. Thanks! Evernote Greg (talk) 19:33, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, User:Macrakis! Sorry to bother you, but I was poking around WikiProject Software looking for editors who might be able to help with the request I've made above. Given your professional background, you seem like a good fit. I'm an Evernote employee who's been trying for quite a while to update and improve the company page, which has multiple flags on it. This request is for a brief Operations section that would lay out some key information about the company and how it functions, and if you scroll up this Talk page, you'll also see that one of my Evernote colleagues submitted a History section draft for editor review. I totally understand if you don't want to jump in here, but I thought I would ask, since expert and helpful editors have been tough to come by over the past few months. Thanks for your time.

 Done I posted all these edits. I didn't use all your citations, as they were not needed. Also posted it under Company under sub-heading Operations. Edhaves (talk) 08:46, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
