message: My name is Tammy and I am an employee of Doe Run. I'm here as a representative of the company in order to help correct the inaccuracies and very dated facts in this article. I know that I should not amend the page myself, so I'll post recommendations here and let others revise. 
Something that can be updated very quickly: the closing primary lead smelter noted in the introduction has, in fact, closed. Here's a source for that. I've composed an updated introduction paragraph with all of the company's current holdings. I also removed outdated production numbers.
:The Doe Run Resources Corporation (registered to do business as the The The Doe Run Company) is a privately held natural resources company and global producer of lead, copper, and zinc concentrates. It owns four mills, six mines and a lead battery recycling plant, all in southeast Missouri, United States, and a subsidiary Fabricated Products Inc. with locations in Arizona and Washington. It also owns two former primary lead smelter sites sites in the U.S. that are currently being remediated. It is wholly owned by the The Renco Group, Inc.
Here's a new sentence to "Operations in the United States".
:The Herculaneum smelter, the last remaining primary lead smelter in the United States, ceased operations on December 31, 2013.
Since the Pollution at the "U.S. operations segment" primarily refers to the now-closed Herculaneum facility, I'd also suggest it be made past tense. 
I've also put together an infobox that can take the place of the photo of the Herculaneum smelter on the right side of the page (maybe the image can be moved to "History" and note that it is "Doe Run's former lead smelter"?). Note: I've left out the starting and ending brackets to prevent it from formatting, so those will have to be added in.

}
I also wanted to point out that the article often conflates Doe Run and Doe Run Peru—the media sometimes does this as well, though they are starting to get it right more often. Here is [ http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/doe-run-timeline/article_29549272-3d89-5452-9326-a190ce0df8cf.html an example of a news story] that shows the companies have been completely separate since 2007.
I'm in the process of collecting sources and writing out suggested wording to correct the misunderstandings. I also intend to find new Operations information to replace everything from 2006. I'll return soon. TS at Doe Run (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: , I have gone ahead and made your requested changes, I found the wording you provided for the lead to be better. Cheers, --kelapstick(bainuu)  08:29, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hello 

message: I am adding the "request edit" template hoping an editor can assist me. I've made a genuine effort to get this article corrected, and while Ajpolino and Furicorn have both been helpful, the article remains incorrect. Furicorn posted messages at WikiProjects Chemistry, Environment, Medicine, and Occupational Safety and Health, as well as the Lead poisoning article discussion page, but no editors have replied. Can someone please review this discussion and remove the incorrect claim? Thank you. TS at Doe Run (talk) 19:22, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, sorry for the very slow response. Took a quick glance through the messages here but haven't had a chance to look through those sources you both posted. My first impression is that if you could post that Wood MacKenzie "Global Lead Concentrate Market to 2016" report (or however much of it they're willing to make public) on the Doe Run website as you'd proposed, that would go a long way towards assuaging the concerns of other editors. Report or no report, I'll get a chance to look through the available sources soon. If another editor wants to beat me to it, I certainly won't object. Thanks all for your responses and patience.

replies: text: Thank you for the input here as well SportsFan, but I think  was handling this edit request and intended to come back to it at some point, so it might be a good idea to go ahead and leave it open for now to act as a reminder for that editor to close when they've finished with it. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  02:34, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  After some digging, I can find no source that indicates that the Glover facility was closed due to environmental concerns (though certainly there's lots of documentation of environmental concerns around the facility). If anyone is interested, there's almost certainly enough source material for an article on the Glover facility itself. Thanks all for your input. Sorry this became such a prolonged discussion. If anyone has questions, concerns, or disagrees, I'm more than happy to talk about it. Happy editing. Ajpolino (talk) 04:36, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Request edit

message: I have returned on behalf of my employer, Doe Run, to address some incorrect content in this article, specifically the last sentence of the "Holdings and products" section: ""
This text is inaccurate: Doe Run still owns the Buick Mine and accesses it from two of our other mines, which are connected. The following news article is a publicly available source for this information.
 You assisted with one of my earlier requests. Might you be able to take a look at this one as well to update the number of mines to six, including Buick Mine? I'm willing to answer any questions here. Thanks. TS at Doe Run (talk) 20:00, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Tammy, I'm happy to help. In the news article you linked (here), I don't see anything specific about the Buick mine, just the statement . Funny enough the reference for the incorrect content actually says something different from the Wikipedia article. It says  and then later . Neither quite supports the current text, nor the current text + Buick mine. Any chance you've got a source that lists the mines Doe Run owns? It has been a while since I've looked at this article so I don't remember if the correct list is in another one of the sources here. Ajpolino (talk) 21:43, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
