Talk:Garrett Motion

message: I have a financial COI with Honeywell and am making a sandbox effort to improve the article following COI best practices.
I'd like to request a review of my proposed draft here and a move into article space if deemed appropriate. I'm also interested in any feedback on how to improve the article, above and beyond merely meeting policy and guideline requirements. Corporate 20:46, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

message: If one goes to the Honeywell International, Inc., website, it apparent that what's identified as Honeywell Turbo Technologies (Honeywell TT) is actually just the main function or product line of a company division called "Honeywell Transportation Systems". Yes, there's a specific webpage for Turbo Technologies, but it's not obvious that this is an administrative division as opposed to a product line (turbochargers). Furthermore, if one goes to the main Honeywell Wikipedia page, there's nothing there on the major divisions of the company, and if one goes to the Honeywell corporate webpage, one doesn't readily find Turbo Technologies from that page (only if one uses the search window can one get a link). It's likely that a large conglomerate such as Honeywell is constantly undergoing some reorganization (and some of its technology spills across major functional areas of activity). But right now we don't have a good picture of how the company is organized -- either in WP or the company's website.~Mack2~ 02:16, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Mack. Honeywell acquired Garrett, which became the consumer product brand of the Honeywell Turbo business unit. Garrett is the product line, but it's also the name of the legacy company. Honeywell Turbo is the BU and Transportation Systems is more like a "category" (as I understand it). I haven't been involved in other Honeywell pages, but I am somewhat aware of the issues on some other pages - just haven't done anything with it yet. Corporate 17:28, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Honeywell Transportation Systems vs. Honeywell Turbo Technologies

message: In the encyclopedic entry, I don't think there's legitimate need to have a list that selectively show cases the company in a positive light by listing out a fair number of vehicles that performed well in races on mere fact they happened to use Garrett Honeywell components.  I think it adds excessive promotional bias while adding very little encyclopedic values.  In my opinion, there's excess contents about company's positive high lights and product details that should stay in company's own page or materials for prospective shareholders to read.

replies: text: I think he wants feedback on the turbo racing section and whether it should be there. It is a reasonable question from my perspective. I think for many of them better sources do exist, but it is similar to how CSR, awards and other areas fall into a grey area that many COIs find themselves in. I think ideally it would be a paragraph-form summary with better sources, instead of a grid, but neither would I delete it merely because it is not ideal. Of course, I have a COI, so I would readily delete it myself Noun if you felt it doesn't belong. Corporate 17:35, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: One comment though, we don't put citations in the lead, because the lead is only suppose to summarize the article. We shouldn't really put citation needed tags so long as the content is supported by a citation later in the page. Corporate 17:57, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Why select only winning cars that happens to have Honeywell turbo?  Why not cars that crashed and burned that happened to have Honeywell turbo?  Former is positive bias, latter is negative bias.  An impartial example would be a few randomly chosen cars, not a long list of winning cars. This is something you would find on Honeywell's press release, because it makes them look good, which is inappropriate for Wikipedia Cantaloupe2 (talk) 04:06, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Biased promotional contents??

message: Though Honeywell may supply Ford, the name is Ford's trademark and does not refer to specific technology by Honeywell.  I believe this trimmed section should go to Ford's page, if someone wants to put it there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cantaloupe2 (talk • contribs) 01:30, 12 October 2012
:Meh, I did a quick Google search and it looks like some sources refer to them as EcoBoost turbochargers from HW, while others say HW turbochargers for Toyota's Ecoboost engine. If you have confirmed it is trademarked by Toyota, this article should probably just have a sentence saying HW supplies them. Corporate 01:48, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Something else worth looking into if you care to. I noticed it has quite a few citations to Honeywell.com sites. This isn't necessarily a problem - they had some pages that had timelines, histories, dates, etc. that are useful for basic information, however HW did a re-work on their website and I updated the references with just whatever URL I could find that looked like it was intended to be the same page as the original. I didn't check to see if the new pages still support the content. It could be worth restoring the originals (they do have retrieved dates for this), double-checking, or doing some trims there. This is a bit sloppy on my part, because I should have archived the original pages. Corporate 14:07, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
