message: I removed the NASDAQ acronyms because it started the whole article off with an advertising tone...My edit summary got hosed because of "an itchy thumb" lol - actually this was from this tiny laptop I'm using. My palm keeps touching the touch pad. It's taking some time to get used to. E dog95 00:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: For some reason a flurry of editors have changed the text of the opening paragraph to match the contents of Kelly Serives website. I'm continuously reverting it to a non-copyright violation version.

thread_title:  Recent edits 

message: I reverted some copyvio additions but the old version is scoring 83.6% on Earwig's Copyvio Detector when compared to http://www.studymode.com/essays/a-Report-On-Kelly-Service-Inc-1660130.html. This is actually a worse score than before I revered it. I was going to gut out all offending paragraphs but the content is referenced well enough that it made me wonder if Studymode are copying from us.
Please can anybody have a look and offer opinions on this? If we are plagiarising them then most of the article has to be deleted but if their article is based on our content then we will do nothing of the sort.

thread_title:  Introduction and infobox: Kelly Services request 

message: * Exact, verbatim descriptions of any text and/or references to be removed needs to be given. Reasons why each change is sought should also be provided. Your request states only that it wishes to "add new claims" or "remove outdated claims". In Wikipedia there is no such thing as an "outdated claim". If the claim is that a company made X amount of dollars for 2018, that claim would not be deleted because the amount the company made in 2019 was a different amount. Both claims ought to be retained. If these claims are to be removed because they are incorrect, then it should be stated how and in what way they are incorrect.
* In the section of text below titled Sample edit request, an example for how incorrect claims are to be fixed is shown: 
 Please remove the third sentence from the second paragraph of the Sun section:
:"The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 25 miles in length."
----
 Please add the following claim as the third sentence of the second paragraph of the Sun section:
:"The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 864,337 miles in length."
----
 Using as the reference:
:
----
 Reason for change being made:
:"The previously given diameter was incorrect. The Harinath source indicates that the diameter is 864,337 miles, a figure which has been confirmed by other references listed in Astronomer's Almanac, Science Quarterly, etc."
*Claims to be added to the article should be kept separate and distinct from claims to be modified.
* All references proposed to be added to the article ought to be formatted using whichever citation style is already in use with the article.
*Kindly open a new edit request at your earliest convenience when ready to proceed with the verbatim text to be removed, the specific reasons for removal, along with the claims to be added and their reasons. Thank you!

message: Founded in 1946 by William Russell Kelly, the company was originally named Russell Kelly Office Service.  Services were provided in-house at the Kelly office. However, as customer offices grew and needed more resources, they began to ask for the Kelly employees to perform the work at their own offices. Temporary workers from Russell Kelly Office Service soon became known as ‘Kelly Girls’. Adelaide Hess Moran, the first Kelly temporary employee to work at a customer’s office was promptly dubbed the first ‘Kelly Girl’.
The temporary workers, usually female, became known as "Kelly girls", and the company name was changed to Kelly Girl Service, Inc. in 1957. Eventually "Kelly girl" became a widely used term for a temporary worker, regardless of company affiliation or gender.  By 1966, the company had expanded to include industrial and technical services divisions and was renamed Kelly Services, Inc. 
By 1978, Kelly moved to its present-day headquarters’ location in Troy, Michigan. The service offerings of Kelly continued to expand to include healthcare, under its Kelly Health Care division, in 1976. With the introduction of an outsourcing and consulting division, by the end of the 1990s, Kelly had become the largest scientific staffing company, and the only company to globally employ staff in scientific sectors. This was the result of Kelly creating ‘Kelly Scientific Resources’ in 1995, which specialized in temporary staff for scientific endeavors. In 2015, the company reported 8,100 employees, $5.5 billion in revenue, making it one of the world's largest staffing firms. In 2018, the company reported $5.5 billion in revenue.
Kelly currently offers services including outsourcing and consulting, and staffing solutions from over 70 years of experience with temporary staffing. With employees being hired globally in engineering, scientific, and office-based industries, Kelly remains one of the world’s largest staffing firms. , the CEO is Peter Quigley.
I'm posting these edit requests here due to my conflict of interest, and in hopes that someone is willing to add these edits, if accepted, instead. Thank you! MichaelBC1 (talk) 17:33, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
