thread_title:  Questions of healthiness of Beneful 

message: I have a COI/affiliation/financial connection with Nestle Purina Petcare and its Beneful brand. I have prepared a draft article at user:CorporateM/Beneful that I would like to propose as a replacement for the current page. I was hoping a disinterested editor would review the draft and consider whether it is a suitable replacement. The current article contains both promotion (trademark symbols, an indiscriminate list of products, description of information available on the website, etc.) and excess criticisms (a dedicated "Accusations" section, which states the FDA "has yet to take matters into their own hands") In actuality the FDA conducted lab tests and found no contaminants in Beneful products. (The lab results are here, which are linked to in This news article. This news source says "The FDA is aware of the complaints, but hasn't found a contaminant, so the dog food remains on the shelf.")  The draft also incorporates various general improvements: more sourced content, a free image, etc. CorporateM (Talk) 15:09, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: A cursory read of the draft gives me the impression it is an improvement. I have concerns about the boundaries between COI and paid editing. I have not (yet) done due diligence in verifying the sources in the draft or researching other sources. Notwithstanding these concerns I support the draft version. Input from involved or concerned editors appreciated. I think a blank then merge would not be inappropriate. A posting to the relevant project(s) and some time for comment would also be good steps. Best. - - MrBill3 (talk) 16:38, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have looked at the proposed page and the current page, and I think the new one is a definite improvement. The current page has too many products listed, and presents unconfirmed rumors, even going as far as using snopes as a citation when snopes say that they have not confirmed the internet rumor. I am going to make the change. As always when I accept a suggested edit from a COI editor, I take full responsibility for the edit I am making in my name. --Guy Macon (talk) 20:49, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like an improvement to me. I think process was appropriate. Applicable projects notified. Adequate time for comment etc. Suggestions or edits by others are always welcomed. If there is content that should be included it can be added (with refs) analysis of tone, due etc. can be carried on here. History provides a record of previous content. Thanks for making the edit Guy Macon. - - MrBill3 (talk) 14:09, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Draft 

message: In the Lede the current article states "generating $141.7 million in revenues" however the source says that was revenue for "four weeks ending September 29, 2012" as oppose to a year. I cannot find any recent sources with an annual revenue number, so I wanted to request we replace it with "more than $1.5 billion in revenue" using WP:CALC (141*12=$1.7 billion), following user:Crisco_1492's suggestion here.
