Talk:IDT Corporation

message: Is this section encyclopedic?
*"15 percent to 25 percent of the 5,000 employees at IDT are Orthodox Jews."
::Unsourced, and the numbers have been changed on the page at least two times.
*"Yarmulkes and black hats are a common sight."
::Original research and uses a word ("common") which is very not objective.
*"The company cafeteria is kosher; according to Jonas, it is one of, if not the largest kosher facility outside of Israel. Multiple Jewish prayer services take place in the building throughout the day."
Is this trivia? I don't think IDT is notable for accommodating their Jewish employees, though I may be wrong. --Raijinili 03:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I have created a draft for a page on Genie Energy, IDT's subsidiary (with holdings in energy) which is being spun off at the end of this month.  I work at IDT and therefore I cannot create the article myself, but I would be happy to help out with the editing process.  A draft can be accessed here.

message: In the Coronavirus section, the author wrote: On April 26th, 2020, due to criticism of large companies who were wrongly accessing the loan program intended to help small businesses, IDT announced that they would return the loan."
However, that was not the rationale the company provided nor is that the rationale mentioned in the attributed source.  Unless there are objections, I would like to remove the clause "due to criticism of large companies who were wrongly accessing the loan program intended to help small businesses,"  It is inaccurate, contrary to the company's stated motivations in its filings https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1005731/000121390020010106/ea121068-8k_idtcorp.htm, and pejorative.

replies: text: Hi Wbulrey, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am declining your edit request. In the SEC filing, IDT said  If one looks underneath the surface meaning, it is pretty clear the statement responds to criticism that IDT took money that was intended for small businesses, i.e. . But just to be extra safe, I am adding an additional source that will better support the article's assertion. Best, Altamel (talk) 17:16, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
