Edit Request 3.22.23

[edit]

Hello, I’d like to request the following edits but I have a conflict of interest that prevents me from making edits myself.

  • Can you change the name and styling to “Grid”? We don’t go by GRID in all caps.
 Done - Pretty straightforward and all sources confirm that.
 Done but with an extra line to explain the change.
check Partially implemented Some of that text is lifted straight from Variety, and it's a bit too POV, so I edited.
check Partially implemented A little tricky, but I think my edit works. Removed the POV stuff and there was no reference to royal family in any of the sources anyway. Kept the overall Abu Dahbi connection, but it does need better sources than a press release so I may edit some more later
  • In the fourth paragraph, can you correct the following regarding APCO: We did not use APCO Worldwide for services around our launch. They were on a very small retainer before Sarah joined in September 2021 and we chose not to continue the relationship. Can you change to "Grid used APCO Worldwide briefly before launch for "consulting services". APCO participated in a pitch for the full-time PR work, but lost the bid to DKC News. APCO has no ongoing relationship with Grid.”
 Done, with small tweaks
 Done, with some changes and real sources (your site won't work)
 Done. Didn't need the sources; that was an obvious change.
  • Can you change the name of the section called “Connection to Biden White House" to "Notable People Associated with Grid”?
check Partially implemented with a small name change
check Partially implemented as I only found sources for some of those reporters.
check Partially implemented since that's very POV. I toned it down and made it more neutral
check Partially implemented since that's also very POV. I toned it down and made it more neutral
 Done, even though I don't love the source. If you have a third-party source, let me know.
    • "In addition to Grid.news, Grid’s reporting and storytelling are also featured in its daily newsletter that debuted alongside Grid's launch. In September 2022, the publication also launched a weekly healthcare newsletter called Grid Health. Grid Health explores major health topics, including the fallout from the Dobbs decision, workforce issues, and burnout in the healthcare industry, the outlook for COVID-19 this fall, and inequality in health overall amid the growing impacts of climate change.”

check Partially implemented with some tweaks to make NPOV
 Not done due to POV
 Done with some tweaks

Thank you for taking a look at this. Jkempner97 (talk) 15:23, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll dig through these. Definitely some obvious fixes here (especially since the current page seems very agenda-focused and incredibly POV), but some stuff that will require a rewrite too. I'll do it line-by-line. Quick question: Was Bauman formerly CEO and now an advisor? -- FeldBum (talk) 20:29, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Started on the easy ones and started reformatting the page a bit. --FeldBum (talk) 22:53, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jkempner97: I think I'm done. Take a look --FeldBum (talk) 22:04, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
