Is this article neutral?

I'm sorry that you feel that the information we have provided on our company is promotional. The article is based on fact as an encyclopedia should be. We will add citations to reflect the origin of the content other than in press releases issued by the corporation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FedMogul (talk • contribs) 20:31, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I feel it is too promotional.

The whole thing reads like an advertisement. ataricom (talk) 02:41, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That would probably be because it was primarily written by someone working for FM. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 09:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SOFIXIT This article doesn't read especially well for an encyclopedia, but it's light on the ASTOUNDING CLAIMS that are the worst of advertorial articles. Some copyediting shouldn't beyond the bounds of anyone who has time and the appropriate text editing skills, it's shouldn't even need a topic expert.

Some aspects I'd like to see expanded:

* Worldwide site locations. Maybe because I've one on my doorstep at Lydney.

* Asbestos. Federal-Mogul have had significant involvement with asbestos liability suits (brake pads and clutch linings) and that warrants coverage.

The first sentence in particular isn't just too promotional, it completely fails to describe what the company does, and cites the company's own press release as a "source!" WTF? 130.76.32.216 (talk) 22:24, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As this page has not been updated in two years, I have implemented new content to describe the acquisitions and events that the company has recently been involved with. Each update is cited with an external source. I have also made minor grammatical changes to existing content on the page. Readers will benefit from these updates as many of the recent events have shown significant development within the company.

1981 patent decision

The 1981 US Supreme Court patent decision mentioned in the article is highly notable and has its own Wikipedia page Diamond v. Diehr. Should this be linked to in the article?51.52.8.222 (talk) 10:55, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
