Talk:BD (company)

message: At least some of this is copyvio from BD's own website, e.g., "That critical information is used to aid the discovery and development of new drugs and vaccines and to improve the diagnosis and management of diseases." --Lukobe 23:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Although many of the edits made recently have been good (especially regarding the history), I have reason to believe that the major contributor Filiplempa has made edits in the guise of expansion suited for a positive viewpoint of the company, one edit, here and the fact that they have only edited for this article I found to be quite obvious of said accusations. Not that all contributions are not acceptable, but it definitely requires further investigation. - Theornamentalist (talk) 03:30, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ascites mice use? 

message: Greetings all, I have done the cleanup of the page because of the following reasons... please don't revert them until you find other sources.
Citation number 6 (https://www.google.com/finance/quote/BDX:NYSE) is removed because the website used Wikipedia as a source of information and Wikipedia Uses it as a source of information, which, paradoxically, invalid.
Citation Number 7 (https://investors.bd.com/static-files/759c8ae1-c56b-4346-9365-1a56c06873ee) is removed because it has been taken from primary source. The company’s annual report.
Citation number 10 has been removed as the article doesn’t exists anymore.
Citation Number 11 (https://www.bd.com/aboutbd/history/) was removed because of two reasons, first because of being a primary source (of the company) and the second reason, it is not accessible, which implies the source is not in public domain. Even if the second reason is sorted out the issue of a primary source is still there.
Citation Number 15 (http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/irol/64/64106/reports/AR09/index.html) has been removed because it’s the company’s annual report, and hence, a primary source.
Citation Number 16 (https://www.bdbiosciences.com/documents/tube_pipet_brochure.pdf) is not found.
Citation Number 25 (https://web.archive.org/web/20100323174508/http://www.bd.com/contentmanager/b_article.asp?Item_ID=24179&ContentType_ID=1&BusinessCode=20001&d=BD+Worldwide&s=&dTitle=&dc=&dcTitle=) has been deleted as it’s a press release.
Citation Number 26 (https://www.dziennik.pl/Default.aspx?TabId=96&ShowArticleId=54999) Has been removed as the source is not found. The source has been deleted not the content. 
Citation Number 29 (https://www.bd.com/contentmanager/b_article.asp?Item_ID=24486&ContentType_ID=1&BusinessCode=20001&d=BD+Worldwide&s=&dTitle=&dc=&dcTitle=) has been removed, because of it being a primary source (Company’s own website) and a press release. 
MrOllie would you be kind to review my changes and let me know if I have done anything wrong? Furthermore, I have seen someone just added the same primary source just as I removed it... please guide me in this regard. Thanks.

replies: text:  Well,MrOllie when I joined Wikipedia, a few months ago, I learned a lot from you about reliable and notable sources. Afterward, I read all the policies, and this is my first edit regarding the sources, which is why I wanted you to supervise it a bit, please. Zed J Alexander (talk) 01:39, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

text: Bluerasberry Thanks a lot... I was having second thoughts about my edits. I do consider the points that you have raised, and I will sure keep them in mind. However, I have a question, regarding what you wrote, "try running it through Google translate polish to English". It was my understanding that as editors of one language, we were not allowed to use the source of another language. Maybe, I am wrong... but this was my understanding. If you could direct me in this regard... I would highly appreciate it. Again, Thanks a lot. Zed J Alexander (talk) 19:05, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
