Weber Shandwick

Hello, and thanks for posting on the talk page of the Weber Shandwick article rather than directly editing the article.

Be aware that we are an encyclopedia, not a promotional site. Prose such as "one of the world’s leading global public relations firms" and "Weber Shandwick won a highly sought after piece of business with Microsoft" is not appropriate for Wikipedia. (In the second case, who says the work was highly sought-after? And why is that event so significant that it needs to be in an encyclopedia article?)

I'll go through the rest of what you posted later, but most of it is not really appropriate for us. — This, that and the other (talk) 07:27, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the sentence about Microsoft was there before so I left it. Someone else must have entered awhile back. I kept in what I thought was not to be touched. Leslie Gaines-Ross Lgrlgr (talk) 22:24, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, my apologies. In any case, I see that someone else has declined the actual request. Justa little tip - it's a lot easier for Wikipedians to just go by and decline a request than it is to actually carry it out, so it helps if you make your requests succinct, and more to the point, neutral. — This, that and the other (talk) 07:01, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I asked Drmies to oversight me at: User_talk:Drmies#Weber_Shandwick and he supported the decline, but that shouldn't prevent This, that and the other, from culling through it if he chooses to in order to find any salvageable nuggets. You are the first to use the "Click here" on a new template that has been incubating for several months.

I would be curious to hear your feedback on it. Did the template make sense? Is it helpful to get feedback on Talk instead of edit-warring in article-space? Does it make you feel like a second-class citizen in the Wikipedia community to be relegated to Talk? Was the pre-filled templated-request confusing?

PS - I edit a lot of articles on PR organizations like Waggener Edstrom, the Public Relations Society of America and the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, which are all Good Article nominated or awarded. I'm not making any promises, but I could think of some potentially more productive ways for Weber to support the impartial editing of experienced volunteer Wikipedians, rather than trying to write it yourself.
