message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :FirstEnergy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

From American Electric Power: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 10:05, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Nay. Keep the articles separate at least for the time being. There is enough history and content available about Allegheny Energy to keep it a separate article. Just my thoughts. Johnston.josh (talk) 01:34, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

message: In the last few minutes I've added the following passage to the lead: 
On July 21 2020, Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, Larry Householder, former Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges, and three others were accused of accepting $60 million in bribes from FirstEnergy in exchange for $1.3 billion worth of benefits in the form of Ohio House Bill 6, as part of what became known as the Ohio nuclear bribery scandal. The stock price of the company plummeted within hours of the arrests bring made. First Energy denies involvement in the charges. As of July 22, 2020, FirstEnergy has not been named as a defendant. According to U.S. Attorney David DeVillers, the investigation is far from over. "There are a lot of federal agents knocking on a lot of doors."
Weirdly, Ohio nuclear bribery scandal says this was a scandal in the opening sentence. My quick search to determine if the aftermath is already now in the past tense (almost impossible to comprehend for a scandal of this magnitude) turned up the WaPo article from July, which basically said "knock, knock, guess who?" 
If someone else can find a citation saying this knocking has now ceased, and all the G-men are resting at ease, feel free to update that material. 
In my opinion the lead must summarize scandals of this magnitude, and most especially ongoing scandals where the aftershocks continue to roll along. — MaxEnt 20:55, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason why the article limits FirstEnergy's responsibility for the massive 2003 Northeastern United States blackout solely to poor management of tree growth along transmission lines?  The NERC investigation fingered FirstEnergy for significantly more responsibility than just that; and the Wikipedia article on the blackout itself reflects some of that.  -- Funkapus (talk) 06:47, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
