Article Updates
Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of Honeywell, a client of mine. I'd like to request some updates to this article. Some of the edits below are drafted up in my sandbox, here.
The article needs some updates based on organizational changes at Honeywell International, and suggestions from editors over the past year. My edits should address and improve the article compliant to WP: COI, WP:NPOV, and WP:LEAD. I included the references in the Ref-talk box.
I see on the current article:
- Factual errors about Honeywell International
- Promotional content based on comments from editors on the current talk page and the archives pages.
- For transparency, I used strike-through on the promotional content in my proposed content sections that should be removed.
Feel free to ping me for any clarifications. Thanks! --~~~~
