Workspace confusion

Hi all! On behalf of Citrix Systems through my work with Beutler Ink, I wanted to raise with editors a suggestion for fixing current confusion on Wikipedia regarding Citrix Workspace. There are currently two articles for Citrix Workspace (including this one):

The "Citrix Workspace" article was created in June 2019, when the XenDesktop article was moved to "Citrix Workspace". The issue is that XenDesktop actually became Citrix Virtual Desktops, not Citrix Workspace, so the content of the article is describing a different product.

This article, which was previously about Citrix Receiver, has been moved to "Citrix Workplace App". This seems to be a typo as there is no "Workplace" app. I believe this article should be about Citrix Workspace App as the product Citrix Receiver essentially became the Citrix Workspace App. With that said, this article does need some updating as it is still written in a way that it discusses the previous product, Citrix Receiver.

Although I ultimately defer to volunteer editors about the best way to clear up this confusion, I wanted to help with that as much as possible. My suggestion is to:

Make this article the Citrix Workspace article, and update the content appropriately
Move the Citrix Workspace article to Citrix Virtual Desktops

I have prepared a draft of what a simple Citrix Workspace article could look like based on independent, third-party sources. I've posted the draft in my user space for editors to review. Would it be appropriate to replace this article on Citrix Workspace App with a Citrix Workspace article based on my draft? My draft includes information on both Citrix Workspace and the app in one article, following what I've seen in other software articles, where the app is covered in the main software article. Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 14:02, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested Citrix Workplace App be moved to Citrix Workspace App. Perhaps some updates are warranted but rebuilding doesn't seem necessary.

It looks like the lead of Citrix Workspace is about Citrix Workspace but the body is about XenDesktop (now Citrix Virtual Desktops). I could leave the lead as a stub for Citrix Workspace and move the body to Citrix Virtual Desktops. Let me know what you think about this as an interim step.

Your proposed Citrix Workspace draft is a good contribution but we always need to review contributions from COI editors and I will not be taking the time required to do that this morning. Perhaps another editor will be able to help with this. ~Kvng (talk) 14:45, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kvng and Mdaniels5757: Thank you for correcting the typo in the name of this article. Very much appreciated! Kvng: As I wait for another editor who might have a chance to review my proposed draft, the interim step you suggested above makes sense to me. Do you need me to make a request at Talk:Citrix Workspace? Thanks again, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 19:57, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

16912 Rhiannon, can you suggest a citation that can be used to verify the new product names. The article currently says XenDesktop was renamed Citrix Workspace but the citation does not support this so I have marked that and we should get it corrected (with citation) as a next step. ~Kvng (talk) 14:54, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kvng: You're correct, that citation verifies that XenDesktop became Citrix Virtual Desktops. XenDesktop did not become Citrix Workspace. This article from IT Pro confirms the new product names when the changes were made in 2018. I hope this helps clarify things. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 13:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

16912 Rhiannon, I have created Citrix Virtual Desktops and moved the XenDeasktop material there. ~Kvng (talk) 01:29, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kvng: Thanks so much! Hopefully much less confusing for readers to navigate now. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 17:46, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
