Seeking assistance with Burson-Marsteller

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

To whomever may read this: I wish to improve the Wikipedia article about the global PR firm Burson-Marsteller (B-M), although as explained on my user page, I work with B-M and recognize I have a conflict of interest issue to manage. The article is not very good and few editors appear interested in it, so I would like to fix that. Since 2007 it has been "flagged" as substandard, and it very much is. So I have spent several months preparing a much more complete version, carefully sourced and as neutral as I can be, from my perspective. Because my draft (posted now in a user sub-page) is significantly longer, I realize it may be easier to go section by section, but if you are willing to look at the whole thing, I can help answer questions about the company and the draft. I have also posted a longer explanation and request on the B-M talk page, and I will see it if you respond there. Thanks in advance. Flatiron 230 (talk) 17:52, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I moved your version to mainspace -- see more comments in the article's talk page at Talk:Burson-Marsteller. :) Banaticus (talk) 00:39, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I presume it is copyrighted and that its source is from the website. I will double-check and if that is correct, I will make the change you have suggested. Thank you. Flatiron 230 (talk) 12:38, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you're still watching this page, but does Burston have a logo on a transparent background for the infobox? The current image is on a white background, which creates a white box inside the grey infobox. Corporate 01:08, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
