message: Why is there lawsuit information here?  That has nothing to do with the company, what it does or what it provides.  If we were to publish lawsuit information for all companies we'd have millions of pages of information for companies such as IBM, Wal-Mart, etc.  It's useless information in my opinion.  --Robertstinnett 02:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I updated this section with a source. Follow it for more info on the lawsuit--there is plenty that we could include here such as the rejection of the first proposed settlement. Corey Salzano (talk) 16:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The Corporate overview section seems excessively self-promotional. Also, in the "West v. CARFAX, Inc" section, the final two sentences are unsourced. "Carfax spokesman Larry Gamache said more than 10 million consumers were affected. The company asserts that it has major accident information from all 50 states and it backs up its claim with a buyback guarantee." Dewey Finn (talk) 00:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I'm looking through auto research sites to educate myself on the different factors that go into notability and it seems like the IHS mention in the intro is just there to shoehorn in a CNBC reference. I read in the notability standards that a holding company isn't notable just because its brand is and vice versa. Wouldn't it make sense to remove the IHS mention? It may go in the body of the article somewhere but certainly isn't appropriate in the overview? Brad Thomas Hanks (talk) 11:23, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
