Hello Indefensible I noticed your interest on WP:Companies to improve Fortune 500 articles. I have COI with some of these companies. There are some errors and inaccuracies that need to be updated on those articles. Since I am familiar with the subject and I have COI, If I present content and verifiable secondary sources, would you be open to collaborating? What are your thoughts on this?—Chefmikesf (talk) 05:37, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Chefmikesf, I believe the last 2 requests for Honeywell and Johnson & Johnson have both been addressed, please review the respective articles. - Indefensible (talk) 23:21, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

1.
Honeywell is a Fortune 100 company, ranked 92nd in 2019.[2] The company has a global workforce of approximately 110,000 workers, with approximately 44,000 employed in the United States.[3][4] The current chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) is Darius Adamczyk.[5] The company's current name, Honeywell International Inc., is the product of a merger of Honeywell Inc. by acquisition to AlliedSignal during 1999. The company headquarters were consolidated with AlliedSignal's headquarters in Morristown, New Jersey; however, the combined company chose the name "Honeywell" because of the considerable brand recognition.[6] Honeywell was a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average index from 1999 to 2008. Prior to 1999, its corporate predecessors were included dating back to 1925, including early entrants in the computing and thermostat industries.[7][8] In 2020, Honeywell rejoined the Dow Jones Industrial Average index[9] and the following year moved its stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq.[10] Proposed Lead

Hi, Indefensible, and thanks for your work in placing ((ITN talk)) banners on talk pages; they're a key part of Wikipedia's behind-the-scenes documentation. I notice that you've generally been placing them at the bottom of the list of talk-page templates – however, according to WP:TALKORDER, ((ITN talk)) (#8) should go above WikiProject banners (#9). As such, would you mind adding the banners in the correct order for future talk pages? This would save extra effort for someone else to rearrange them to conform with our guidelines, and emphasises the ITN appearance a little more. In addition, you could also consider adding an |oldid=
parameter to each template (with the corresponding revision ID of Template:In the news), which will allow readers easy access to the Main Page ITN template as it appeared at the time. Alternatively, it's also RscprinterBot's job to add ITN banners to talk pages automatically if they're missing, although you're still more than welcome to do so yourself. Thank you! — RAVENPVFF · talk · 18:21, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

This revert you made replaced some material I recently added to the article, which had been removed by an IP. The IP seems to be the company's, so I COI-warned the IP account and flagged the IP on talk page so that it will be more noticeable in future. I've also improved the content and sourcing further.

An article you recently created, Beam Therapeutics, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Shuttle-Centaur was a version of the Centaur upper stage rocket designed to be carried aloft inside the Space Shuttle. Two variants were developed: Centaur G-Prime and Centaur G. The powerful Centaur upper stage allowed for heavier deep space probes, and for them to reach Jupiter sooner. However, neither variant ever flew on a Shuttle. |

Hello Indefensible, you had nominated 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest for the 'in the news' section. The laws have now been repealed by Parliament, although this still need to be signed by the President of India for the repeal to come into effect. When this happens, can you again nominate it for ITN? (I am not familiar with the nomination procedure.) Thank you. --Jose Mathew (talk) 12:03, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Indefensible,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Zymergen for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
