Hi all! On behalf of Primerica, I’ve started a discussion [[Talk:Primerica#Discussion_about_undue_weight_of_minority_viewpoint ]] about a topic that’s grown to be controversial on the page and may interest members of this group. The page could really benefit from the opinion of experienced, neutral editors. (I don’t make edits because of my COI) Could anyone here weigh in? TermLifeOG (talk) 16:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Sam Yagan edit request
editHello to all,
I have an open request that I thought editors here on WikiProject Business might be interested in reviewing. The open request is to update the article on OKCupid co-founder Sam Yagan at Talk:Sam_Yagan#Request_to_add_Corazon_Capital_subsection. Specifically, it is to add a subsection on his newest venture Corazon Capital. I made this request on behalf of Yagan through my work at Corazon Capital. Thank you for considering.

Climate action investment networks in the news, but not in Wikipedia
editI posted a detailed request at WikiProject Climate Change talk (with references included).
House Republicans are going hammer-and-tong against climate change action investing, releasing a subcommittee report accusing several of the organized investor groups of collusion and anti-trust violations. This includes some of the biggest investment entities in the world, some of which have been persuaded by political pressures to withdraw.
But these climate action investment networks, which apparently have become a BFD, are not well covered in Wikipedia. Climate Action 100+, the main organization IDed by the House subcommittee, has no Wikipedia mention. The Ceres organization, an older player which helps run Climate Action 100+, seems to be way out of date in this respect.
I'm not equipped to handle these changes. Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Climate Change#Climate action investing articles for more information. I'm hoping there are WikiProject Business editors who are interested and better able. -- M.boli (talk) 14:33, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Sam Yagan request: Excelerate Labs and IAC information
editHello Wikiproject Business,
I have an open conflict of interest request: Talk:Sam_Yagan#Request_to_update_Excelerate_Labs_and_IAC_information.
This request is to add information about some of Sam Yagan's previous businesses to the Sam Yagan article. I made this request on behalf of Yagan through my work at Corazon Capital. Thank you for considering. CBCorazon (talk) 20:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Merge of business and companies WikiProjects
editIt looks like we have a number of reasonably active WikiProjects in this area, as well as some inactive ones:
- WikiProject Business
- WikiProject Companies
- WikiProject Finance & Investment
- WikiProject Retailing (currently inactive)
- WikiProject Marketing & Advertising (currently inactive)
- WikiProject Trade (currently inactive)
I don't edit in this area, but to me it would make sense to combine efforts and merge these projects, reducing duplicated work in tagging articles and other maintenance tasks, and driving activity towards a single talk page. The active projects could be retained as task forces of the new project for more focused work, if desired. If there is interest, the process is quite straightforward and we have recently done something similar with history projects that went well. There would just need to be a consensus amongst members of the affected projects here, as well as a decision on which projects (if any) to retain as task forces. Thoughts? – Joe (talk) 17:56, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see why you would merge WPCompanies into the rest of it. It is clearly different, as it deals with concrete entities, and not concepts in general. If you want to merge WPCompanies somewhere, it should be with WP:WikiProject Organizations since companies are a type of organization. -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 05:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see why trade, finance and investment should merge here instead of at WP:WikiProject Economics, as they are economic activity that has large governmental influence and deal with international relations. -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 05:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Advertising, marketing, and propaganda deal with psychological aspects. Seems more like applied psychology and social engineering. So WP:WikiProject Psychology -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 05:31, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Retailing is a business activity, so would fit into WikiProject Business -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 05:31, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- WP:WikiProject Brands could also go with WPBusiness. -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 05:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not saying these projects don't cover distinct topics. They do. But the purpose of WikiProjects is to coordinate a group of editors interested in a set of topics, rather than categorise content (we have other ways of doing that). In other words, we don't need or want wikiprojects on every distinct topic; only those topics sufficiently broad to sustain active collaboration amongst multiple editors.
- I think there is considerable overlap between WP Business and WP Economics and these might be a candidate for a future merge (e.g. WP Business & Economics). In the mean time, I don't think it matters precisely where inactive projects are merged, only that they direct editors to an active project that is somewhat related. – Joe (talk) 11:28, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Asking for help with Joseph C. Papa article
editHello, I'm an employee at Emergent BioSolutions here to ask for help with improvements I'm trying to make to the article for our CEO, Joseph C. Papa. I recently noticed that the brief Early life section of the article isn't properly sourced. I've placed a request on the Talk page in which I propose more substantial sourcing. You can view the request by clicking this link. My hope is that the request is straightforward, but I'm open to any feedback independent editors might have. Thanks!
