One thing I just noticed, if anyone wants to help me undertake a MASSIVE project -- corporate Infoboxes for major tech companies have zero standardization. Looking at Google, Akamai, Apple, Cloudflare, etc. Some list co-founders, investors, products, technologies, stock prices, revenue, etc. IMHO this would benefit from standardization.

Draft:The Lilting Banshees

There you go, per request. See also the older versions (look in the history) of Lilting Banshees for potential material, which is a redirect page. If your article is accepted it will replace that page. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:31, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question about a potential COI

Given this post: [1], I'm wondering if you have a WP:COI in re: Cloudflare. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:54, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

K.e.coffman Nope, no COI, but good question considering my very pro-Cloudflare stance! To be clear on no COI: I don’t work there, have never applied to work there, never plan to work there, have never been paid by the company, am not Facebook friends with anyone who works at the company (to my knowledge), never made a VC or angel investment, etc. My editing interest is around improving the article: I’m honestly shocked how much negativity their Wikipedia page is focused on, as compared to the bulk of the company and the tech improvements they’re making to the internet and helping Wikipedia and Wikipedia. Any suggestions are appreciated to more accurately reflect a cool company with thousands of employees. Adding their product info seems to be the best route to add non-scandal stuff to beef out the article.

Similarly interesting to me, I’ve noticed that public SaaS company websites have almost zero standardization regarding which headers are displayed and included — as you noticed, Fastly had Acquisitions, as does Akamai, and some others. It would be an interesting standardization project, as I learn more about Wikipedia, if you’re ever interested to collaborate, to propose some sort of header schema for American public software companies. Any interest, or suggestions how I would further that idea? Nickgray (talk) 01:20, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Lilting Banshees (October 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at The Lilting Banshees instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion. If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:The Lilting Banshees and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:The Lilting Banshees, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Cloudflare RfC Review

Hello, Nickgray - I saw your edits on the Cloudflare page, and was wondering if you would be willing to review the RfC discussion I began on the Talk page in December? I have reached consensus for a review and some condensing with a handful of editors, but none of my requests or proposals have been reviewed, discussed, or resolved.

(I note this everywhere, so I will note my COI here as well - I am an employee of Cloudflare, editing the page is not among my primary duties, and I am obviously not editing the page directly, or trying to push any promotional content). Thank you! Ryanknight24 (talk) 18:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will take a look when I have some time. The last I saw, there was consensus to condense but no clear path forward. It was a bit confusing for me to make heads or tails of it. Nickgray (talk) 19:14, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
