COI edit requests

[edit]

Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of Greystar, which is a client of mine. I'd like to request some updates to this article. All the edits below are mocked up in my sandbox, here.

Edit request

External source, updated number.

  1. ^ The references provided as the source for this claim number no less than 4 in total. As there are only 2 main elements to this claim (the date and the amount of gross AUM) the reason for the doubling of the references listed to verify it is unknown. The request needs to demonstrate an economy of references by specifying the exact reference used for this claim. See  WP:TOOMANYREFS.
  2. ^ The number of beds managed is easily described using the phrase "more than". (See note #3.)
  3. ^ It is not known what is meant by the phrase "more than". An office is more definable and thus more easily counted than a bed is. (See also note #2
  4. ^ It is not known what is meant by the term "oversees".
  5. ^ The NMHC is not Wikilinked.
  6. ^ Chapter Spitalfields is already Wikilinked, thus no refs are necessary to establish its notability.
@Spintendo: Hi! I reached out to 2601:188:180:1481:65f5:930c:b0b2:cd63 a week ago, but they haven't been active on Wikipedia in over a month. Any other ideas for how I can get that {{COI}} flag reviewed? Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 04:24, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request clarifications

[edit]

@Spintendo: Thank you as ever! Some clarifications:

  • For the AUM figure, updated: As of April 2019, Greystar had $32 billion in gross [[assets under management]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Fu |first1=Lisa |title=Greystar hires Angelo Gordon exec to oversee new funds platform |url=https://www.perenews.com/greystar-hires-angelo-gordon-exec-oversee-new-funds-platform-exclusive/ |accessdate=17 September 2019 |work=Pere |publisher=[[PEI Media]] |date=8 April 2019}}</ref>
  • Instead of "more than 50 offices": and 51 offices in the U.S., Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region.<ref>{{cite web |title=About Us |url=https://www.greystar.com/about-greystar/about |website=Greystar |accessdate=26 September 2019}}</ref>
  • Instead of "oversees", let's go for: The company manages a global portfolio of approximately 500,000 conventional units and student beds.<ref name="Menear"/>
  • Wasn't sure if refs were needed here to demonstrate Chapter Spitalfields' link to Greystar, but I guess not!

one more small edit request

[edit]

Hi, sorry for the doubling up here. I've learned that the language in the first sentence of the lead ("build-to-rent multi-occupancy buildings") is rather British-inflected, which is incongruous and unnecessarily confusing for a U.S.-based company. The current wording also implies that Greystar only operates in the U.S., which is inaccurate. Here's a proposed rewrite of that first sentence: Greystar Real Estate Partners is a U.S.-based developer, investor and manager of rental housing properties around the world. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 02:19, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A reference has not been provided for the revised wording. References are not usually needed in the lead section, but in this case, the proposed claims do not exist anywhere else in the article. If the Fu-authored coverage of the company's press release is applicable to the revised sentence, kindly provide the verbatim text from Ms. Fu for confirmation. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  08:11, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! This ref (<ref name="Menear"/>) already in the article backs up the claim. The Mattioli source in the article also corroborates. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 22:13, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi Mary! I have clarified the lead section to indicate that the company is an international real estate manager and developer based in the US, and that the company manages more than 500,000 units/beds of apartment infrastructure in the United States, per the Menear source.
  • The claim to being "the largest operator of apartment infrastructure in the US" does not subscribe to any specific metric which may be used for verification purposes (i.e., the largest how and in what way — either the square acreage of apartments managed, the monetary $$ value of apartments managed, or the cumulative number of apartments managed, etc.). In mentioning the number of units/beds under management, the claim seems to be using that metric to arrive at itself. However, no official numbers of how many apartments are under management in total across the US are offered to buttress this claim. In making that claim, Menear likely arrived at that distinction by way of the company-provided press release which informed a part of their reporting on that particular story. Bottom line, we can use the numbers because those numbers are informative and don't embellish. The other claims are more problematic, and thus I would have been uncomfortable implementing them. Regards,  Spintendo  09:08, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Totally understood! I wasn't looking for any kind of "largest" wording; agree that would be WP:PUFF. Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:49, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2022 COI edit requests

[edit]

Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of Greystar. I'd like to request some updates to this article. The proposed updates are also mocked up here, and I'm open to any other feedback on how to make this easier to review.

Lead

[edit]
  • In infobox, update the assets parameter to "US$58.2 billion (2022)[1]" and the number of employees to "20,000 (2019)[2]"
  • Update
As of April 2019, Greystar had $32 billion in gross assets under management,[3] and operated in nine countries in 2022.[4]
to
As of 2022, Greystar had $58.2 billion in gross assets under management,[1] and operated in 16 countries.[5]

to

  • Consider deleting
The firm's business model is alleged to be adding to Ireland's housing crisis.[8]
or at least moving it to the article body. Greystar is mentioned only once in the source, tangentially; I can't imagine this warrants mention in the article lead.

History

Hi again! Revised per your feedback on your talk page; please let me know if you think this makes sense:
Greystar broke ground on its first modular multifamily project, in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, in August 2023.[1]
Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 14:43, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to respectfully disagree with @Spintendo in this case. I largely agree with the skepticism of listing out acquisitions, etc., by a given company, but fail to see how redlinking non-notable entities is necessary. If Greystar were asking to list a bunch of brands they own in this article, sourced to their website, that would indeed be counter to WP:NOTDIRECTORY. In this case, though, the name of the brand is relevant information and is mentioned in the headline of one of the reliable, independent sources cited here, so I think the original wording is completely acceptable. I've added the original proposal but am happy to further discuss. WhinyTheYounger ※ Talk 17:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greystar Real Estate Partners → Greystar – Per WP:NCCORP, Greystar is the most common name used for the company – both in their own comms and in independent media coverage, which tends to use the full name only on the first mention. Please note I have a COI; Greystar is a client of mine. Mary Gaulke (talk) 04:28, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The whole request is pure promo, as usual with this requesting editor. Also, some of the sources cited clearly don't satisfy WP:RS. (Look at the foot of some of the cited articles, where there are links to 'Post a press release' and 'Promote an event'. These sources are just places where companies can post undiluted press releases. Axad12 (talk) 19:53, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Axad12: Thank you for the additional context on your evaluation of these sources you shared at my talk page. I took a shot at updating with new sources that I think meet the criteria – would love your feedback if you're up for taking a look.

Thanks so much for your time. Mary Gaulke (talk) 19:09, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not Done. I already turned this down as pure promo above. Locating better sources doesn't resolve the underlying problem. Axad12 (talk) 19:47, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Closer examination suggests that MHN, GlobeSt and Bisnow also suffer from some of the same issues as previous rejected sources (i.e. amenability to publishing press releases, also articles which appear little more than press releases, also openly advertising that sponsored content will be published). I am concerned that with this request you are once again wasting volunteer time. Clearly this request is a duplicate to a previous declined promotional request, and with sourcing that retains the same issues that were previously observed.
It is completely unreasonable for you to send in requests of this nature while being paid to do so and to expect unpaid volunteers to point out the problems that you already knew existed. I view this as an exceptionally bad faith act on your part, repeating behaviours that have been raised multiple times in the last few months. Axad12 (talk) 20:11, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Axad12: I've taken some time to sit with this and find that I'm still sincerely confused by some of this feedback. I understood your objection to be to the sources, so I sought to address that. I'm not sure what makes the content itself promotional – e.g., is the size of the company's operations not encyclopedic? Also, on the objection to publications that publish sponsored content – many reliable publications (e.g. BBC, Bloomberg, Financial Times) publish sponsored content, and while the sponsored content is of course considered unreliable, the entire outlet isn't disqualified. Is the idea that some publications are trusted not to run sponsored content without disclosure, but others are not? If so, are there any specific factors I can look at to gauge that, beyond WP:RSP?
I gather from your talk page you may be taking a wikibreak, so not sure if you'll be able to answer, in which case I may reach out to WP:3O for feedback. I really want to understand and resolve the underlying issue here if at all possible. Best, Mary Gaulke (talk) 00:44, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe I've previously made my position on sourcing clear in the thread on your talkpage here [1].
Your argument in relation to otherwise RS sources occasionally using sponsored content seems to me quite nonsensical when there is clearly a difference between the highly respected sources you mention and the low grade sources you actually use, which exist primarily to allow PR companies to install positive stories or press releases within the media. The idea that the existence of the former means that all sponsored content is per se okay and admissible is ridiculous and typical of the sophistry and general bad faith actions that I've come to expect of you in your relentless campaign to install inappropriate material on Wikipedia and never take no for an answer.
I do not accept that it is difficult for highly experienced disclosed COI users to differentiate between good and bad sources. Your continual attempts to argue the point (and other similar points elsewhere) are just sealioning designed to waste volunteer time and to wear down resistance.
If you are able to locate other users who are more amenable to this kind of attempted abuse of Wikipedia then more fool them.
I've now muted you in my notifications so that I no longer have to put up with any more of this squalid bad faith nonsense, especially while I'm on wikibreak. Axad12 (talk) 06:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
