Assistance with Center for Copyright Information article

Hello, I've recently been working with the Center for Copyright Information to improve their Misplaced Pages article. Because of my financial COI, I posted a note on Talk:CCI, along with a draft in my userspace. My initial draft generated quite a bit of feedback, leading me to update my draft, taking into account the comments from volunteer editors. However, since posting the updated version, the main participant in the discussions, User:Mjb, has indicated that they don't have time to look at it, and I've had trouble finding other editors to review my changes.

I'm hoping someone here might be able to review the feedback I received, see if the new draft of the article is acceptable and, if so, move it over into the mainspace.

For ease, here are links to the relevant pages:

• the original draft in my userspace
• discussion on Talk:CCI
• the current version in my userspace, post-feedback.

Two new articles: Sturgeon Ventures LLP and Regulatory Incubator (Saved in my talk section)

Hi all, I'm an editor with COI and need your help, again. I've created two new articles in my Talk section: Sturgeon Ventures LLP and Regulatory incubator. Have an article for Baring Asset Management sitting in my Sandbox that I've been forgetting to re-visit so had to use Talk - know it's not ideal but here you go. If I knew how to add another sandbox I'd have done it but I'm not as experienced as you are...still learning. Could you please review them for me and suggest any improvements? Many thanks, Kat Kt1502 (talk) 15:22, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Note: I've moved the proposed articles into separate user sandbox pages and wikilinked the original request for easier view. Alex Shih 03:59, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

The articles look pretty good. The only thing i'd note is that the second paragraph of Sturgeon Ventures LLP should probably get some wikilinks added to it.And I would suggest rewording it a bit so it flows better. It seems a little dense right now. Silverseren 00:59, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

NFLPA Game

Hello, I've been working on behalf of the NFL Players Association to improve a number of articles here on Misplaced Pages that relate to their mission; recently, I've worked on sorting out the NFLPA Game article, which is a mess, as it combines two different series of games, treating them as if they were the same. The consensus about what seems to be happening is laid out at WikiProject:NFL and Discussion at Talk:NFLPA Game.

To resolve this issue, I've prepped drafts for the two different games that the current article conflates: a full draft of prospective articles for the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and a stub for the Texas vs The Nation.

At various times on WP:NFL and Talk:NFLPA Game, editors have stepped in to say that they think the drafts look good, or suggest small tweaks, but I've had a hell of a time finding an editor who will actually implement the solution that seems to have been settled on. So, I'm reaching out here. If things look okay, will someone go ahead and set up the two new articles, with a redirect from NFLPA Game to the Collegiate Bowl article (although a disambig page would be OK too)?

Here's a quick bulleted list of relevant articles and discussions:

I've raised this issue at Jimbo's Talk page, the first time I've done so actually. WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:29, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

It looks like you've got this in hand on Jimbo's talk page. And it's likely going to need an administrator to actually deal with the history merges and article splitting and such anyways. Silverseren 01:10, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Education Management Corporation

In addition to my above note, and sincere apologies in advance for bringing multiple requests here at once, I am looking to tie up some loose ends on the Education Management Corporation Talk page. Back in early July I proposed a revised draft for the Programs section.

This draft was then approved by another editor, who initially suggested I add it, then agreed to come back to it when I explained why I shouldn't, however this editor hasn't been back and has not been added to the article. Can someone here give my draft and the current section another quick look and then make the update if all looks OK?

My request on the Talk page explains the differences between my draft and the current section in more detail; in brief, the current section lacks citations and needs minor updates throughout.

Here are the links to the current section and my draft:

• Current Programs section
• My proposed draft

I'm actually heading out the door to Wikimania very soon, so I may not be very quick to reply here to any questions, but I will try to check in during the next week. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 19:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

This one is  Done. WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:28, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Help with Accenture and a related article

Hello, I'm currently working on behalf of Accenture to make some improvements to two articles here on Misplaced Pages: Accenture's own article, as well as the article for their Chairman and CEO, Pierre Nanterme. I've had some help from User:FeralOink at Accenture, although he seems to be a bit busy, and I've yet to locate anyone to help with Mr. Nanterme's article, so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help out.

A brief summary of the current issues with the articles:

Accenture

As I noted, FeralOink has been helping here, and addressed most of the issues that I initially raised (as well as making a slew of other improvements to the article). There are two outstanding issues, though, and it seems that FeralOink is busy at the moment, plus I'd like a third opinion on one aspect. The issues are discussed in detail at Talk:Accenture, but here's a crib-sheet version:

• After some edits to the "Leadership" section, there is one "Group Chief Executive" listed (although Accenture has more than one person in roles with this title), but there is no discussion of the COO; it seems the COO should be here before any of the group chiefs. Additionally, now that this section has been shortened, it seems too short, so I've suggested we add the full board of directors in, in order to provide a broader sense of the leadership of Accenture (the markup for this is at Talk:Accenture). Curious on people's thoughts about this.
• One of FeralOink's edits removed two sentences about Joe Glickauf, an important person in the early history of Accenture. The sentences were unsourced and, as it turns out, plagiarized from a blog written by Accenture itself. However, Glickauf's role is important enough that he should be included in the article, so I've prepared a new sentence with roughly the same information, but using an independent source (the Chicago Tribune), to replace the plagiarized sentence. My suggestion can be found at Talk:Accenture.

I also have a couple other requests related to the Accenture article, but I'd like to get this first set of things wrapped up before making additional suggestions.

Pierre Nanterme

The current article for Mr. Nanterme is extremely short and poorly sourced. I've written a more complete draft of the article that I'd like to see replace what is currently there, and uploaded it to my userspace. A brief summary of my changes can be found at Talk:Pierre Nanterme.

If someone here as time to look at one or both of these articles and vet my suggestions, I'd sure appreciate it! Cheers, ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 13:57, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
