message: Has not been updated since 2009, since which major changes have occurred in the industry as a whole and with KKR specifically. For instance, KKR PEI no longer exists as a separate publicly-traded entity, having been acquired in its entirety in 2009 by KKR.

message: How is that on the page? I can't find it. Is it transcluded? It needs to be removed as KKR is a private equity firm, and therefore not on any stock market. --Rajah 07:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: please remove NYSE category

message: On January 5, 2009, I completed a major cleanup of the KKR article.  The article had become a dumping ground of various news bits, some of which were largely irrelevant.  This practice should probably be discouraged.  Among the changes: organizing the firm's major historical transactions into tables from bullet lists, revising the intro, adding the correct logo, bolstering the history section and cleaning up references.  |► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 05:36, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I've reviewed the edits from a list of banned accounts (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TardyMarmot) and made revisions to remove unverified content and potential COI edits. Here are a list of those edits, the ways I've addressed them, and my rationale. I will remove the undisclosed paid tag from October 2023.
16:09, 30 April 2021‎ TardyMarmot
* Reverted minor vandalism. No change needed.
18:50, 15 April 2020‎ TardyMarmot
* Minor grammatical correction. No change needed.
18:45, 15 April 2020 TardyMarmot
* Minor correction to a date; verified accurate in WSJ source. No change needed.
03:12, 3 February 2020‎ DataSloth
* Reverted vandalism. No change needed.
22:59, 28 February 2019‎ TardyMarmot
* Removed information about a not-notable business deal added from a primary source (the subject’s website). No change needed.
16:44, 22 September 2018‎ TardyMarmot
* Reverted vandalism. No change needed.
17:54, 11 June 2018‎ TardyMarmot
* TardyMarmot removed the advert tag, which has since been re-added. No change needed.
17:48, 11 June 2018‎ TardyMarmot
* This looks like a legit effort to remove some puffery from the article, though not a deep cut. The only other change here was an update to office and employee count, which I assume are outdated now, and employee count has since been updated.
22:28, 5 June 2018‎ TardyMarmot
* Edit appears to have been removed by MarioGom, 07:47, 10 October 2023‎. No further change needed.
16:03, 31 October 2017‎ TardyMarmot
* I couldn’t find a non-primary source detailing the subject’s business structure, so I removed the table added by TardyMarmot. I also replaced the primary source for the subject’s leadership change with CNBC.
23:48, 5 October 2017‎ TardyMarmot
* This edit is obsolete. No change needed.
23:34, 5 October 2017‎ TardyMarmot
* This edit is obsolete. No change needed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.200.144 (talk) 23:26, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
