message: It's pretty obvious that this article is being edited by someone who represents Fluor and is trying to promote the company.  This has been reverted several times by various users but it invariably returns again and again.  This is not the place for corporate marketing, so cut it out! SirLamer 22:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bias in article

message: Suggest adding a "See also" section with a link to the Wikipedia page on NuScale Power. It is mentioned in this page that Fluor has a majority interest in it. CorporateM (Talk) 17:03, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  See also 

message: The current article states: "According to the company website, Fluor has four primary business groups....". The website has been updated to reflect that the company is now organized into six segments. That being said, I think breaking down all six segments in bullets as is done now for four segments is too much. As such, I suggest the following more concise replacement for that sentence and all four bullets.
::According to Fluor's 2013 annual report, 57 percent of its work backlog is from the oil and gas industry. According to the company's website, Fluor's work includes designing and building power plants, petrochemical factories, mining facilities, roads and bridges, government buildings, and manufacturing facilities. The company also performs nuclear cleanup and other services.
I can update the annual report reference each year as a non-controversial edit with the latest numbers. CorporateM (Talk) 21:29, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Request Edit 

message: Suggest adding construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson river to the "Notable Projects" section.
*"In December 2012, Fluor was awarded a $3.14 billion contract to build the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson River."
The Notable Projects section is just a concise summary of the most significant works, but as a $3 billion project covered in national media like Bloomberg, this seemed like it was significant enough to mention. 
Also, the current Lede says "in four areas: energy and chemicals, industrial and infrastructure, government and Fluor Global Services such as staffing and equipment rentals." I suggest we replace this with the industries mentioned in Fluor's annual report: oil & gas, industrial & infrastructure, government and power.

thread_title: Small update

message: Requesting Fluor's recent acquisition be added. Some potential text is below, cited to Reuters:
"Fluor acquired an engineering and construction firm based in the Netherlands called Stork  for $755 million in March 2016. Stork mostly modifies and maintains large power plants."

replies: text: The proposed acquisition was already in the article, along with one of the suggested references. I edited the article to indicate that the acquisition has been closed, identify the main business, the amount involved in the acquisition and add the other reference.--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:08, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Someone added the following text to the bottom of the article 
Fluor recently took over as the primary contractor at Plant Vogtle (Bechtel took over vogtle in August 2017), Units 3 & 4, and V.C. Summer (v.c summer got shut down. all work stopped in August 2017), Units 2 & 3. CB&I previously had the contract.
The content is unsourced and sounds likely to be written from personal knowledge. There are some sources about Fluor's work with Vogtle, but none that indicate it was a major historical milestone that would amount to something more than listing every project Fluor works on. As I have a COI, I would like to request another editor trim the content.

message: The passage you mention as being problematic is actually 2 seperately added claim statements. The first, most recent part of the claim was added in August of last year. The second part predates August of 2017. My questions:
#Which part of this two-part claim statement are you disputing?
#Where are the references for either of these claims?
In light of these discrepancies it may be necessary to revoke the GA status and begin anew with a more lengthy, and thoroughly complete GA review. Please advise.

message: The article barely mentions Daniel International and none of it's key people. This is the biggest weakness in the whole Wiki concept. History literally "disappears before our eyes"!!!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:1300:602D:D07B:EA07:4790:9EBC (talk) 18:11, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Daniel International  

message: The end of the "Recent history" section says:
On May 2, 2019, Fluor's stocks fell by more than 20 percent following both the abrupt departure of David Seaton as CEO and an unexpected first-quarter loss.The loss comes a month after the company was not chosen as a repeat contractor for a LOGCAP military construction and logistics support contract in Afghanistan. Followin Seaton's departure, Fluor's board named former CEO Alan Boeckmann as executive chairman.
Wikipedia doesn't normally include stock-value updates or use editorialized language like "abrupt departure" and "unexpected .... loss." The content cites this source regarding losing a major client, but the same citation also mentions a major client win that wasn't included. I wanted to suggest more neutral content as follows: 
"In May 2019, David Seaton stepped down as CEO and was replaced by Carlos Hernandez."

thread_title:  New CEO 

message: A couple accounts ( and ) recently added some content that is cited exclusively to Fluor press releases. These two accounts made similar edits and edit-summaries within 10 minutes of each other. I want to request the edits be reverted on account of being cited to press releases (and want to clarify these are not Fluor edits). As previously disclosed, I work for Fluor as their Wikipedia point-person and have a disclosed conflict of interest. Pinging  and , who have previously participated here.

message: Hello,
On the Fluor Corporation page info box on the right, the company headquarters location says "Grapevine" Texas. 
We are actually located in "Irving" Texas as stated in the first sentence of the article.
Can this be corrected?
Thank you

thread_title:  Incorrect information on Fluor page 

message: Hi,
On line 2 of the first paragraph and in the summary box under Industry, it has been listed that Fluor is connected to the Fluoride industry. 
We actually have no connection to the Fluoride industry; Fluor is an Engineering, Procurement and Construction company. Can these changes be corrected?  If you need more information, feel free to contact me.
