message: There is covering a legitimate topic and there is blatantly one-sided soapboxing. This crossed the line. Full of what appears to be anecdotal evidence, not supported by reliable sources with no expression of the opposing viewpoint in the midst of a welter of criticism. Gr1st (talk) 19:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Atos seem to attract a lot of criticism from many quarters. All the same, I get the impression here that someone has read a critical report and reported too extensively from it. I expect, with all the current Paralympic related coverage, editors will be able to update/abbreviate the section as necessary. Sionk (talk) 22:41, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Benefit assessments 

message: According to a newspaper article <http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/apr/12/atos-doctors-sign-official-secrets-act>, UK Government contractors Atos have recently insisted all members of staff sign the Official Secrets Act <http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1989/6/contents>, in an apparent effort to prevent leaks of information about Atos disability assessments which are proving embarassing to the DWP minister (Ian Duncan Smith) and to them.  The DWP have denied requesting their contractor do this to their staff - does anyone with knowledge of the OSA understand how criticism about the work Atos perform for the UK Government could pose a threat to national security, or why they should be making a request to members of the medical and nursing professions, who feel it will prevent them from whistleblowing in an effort to protect the health of the patients they interface with, like the suicide victims listed below ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.224.14 (talk) 00:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Atos in Italy?

message: Someone added a NPOV template to the Atos Healthcare section in April 2012 but there seems to be no attempt to resolve the problem. Is there still a problem? All I can see at the moment is a few areas that could be tightened up/edited to be less 'wordy'. And I'm not sure we have enough information about this BMJ report/article (source #45) to identify it, considering it is referred to in a number of places. Sionk (talk) 01:49, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone ahead and removed the POV tag. The section has been improved and is adequately sourced. The large WP:OR section on access to facilities was also removed. Because there has been so much news coverage about the problems with the assessments, in my view the remaining points are fully justified. Sionk (talk) 11:58, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Changes are executed and citations added. (tim362729|t )
:With your declared conflict of interest it's not advisable to make major edits, as you have done over the last month. I'm sure no one will have a problem with minor corrections but, for example, you removed the entire paragraph about Atos Healthcare from the introduction and also added publicity about a new automobile venture based on a press release. Sources really need to be reliable and independent of Atos to support this sort of addition (Reuters disown the press release so they evidently have not done any fact checking before reproducing the announcement). Sionk (talk) 13:07, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Atos introduction

message: I've added a "original research?" template to the 'Accessibility of facilities' sub-section (of Atos Healthcare), because it lacks reliable secondary sources. It currently looks as if someone has gone through the Atos Healthcare website analysing parking facilities, then synthesised this with a description of the requirements of DDA. Maybe someone can add reliable secondary sources that show this is a widespread complaint and valid for its own section? Sionk (talk) 10:59, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accessibility of facilities 

message: I would like to make the following edit to the Atos wiki page. In the introduction the second paragraph immediately introduces the topic of Atos UK and Atos Healthcare without any prior explanation of how the company is organized. I would therefore request that, in order to make the position of Atos UK and Atos Healthcare clear, that we move the para below from the Company Information section and insert it above the mention of Atos in the UK.

thread_title: Update infobox

message: The intro currently reads like an advertisement for their stock (because it is) and does not summarise the article at all. It does not mention their controversy, the actual work they do (just a pack of buzzwords) and appears grossly biased. Can somebody more physically able than I actually make an intro that summarises the major points of the article and is not just the introduction to their corporate about page http://uk.atos.net/en-uk/home/we-are/company-profile.html copied to the head of a Wikipedia article  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mycosys (talk • contribs) 21:10, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The Atos Healthcare entry under Controversy seems to have been thoroughly sanitised. It is currently impossible to tell that the confrontation was with disabled people and in the media rather than with Parliament or auditors. The article also fails to reflect that, rather than DWP negotiating an early exit as stated, Atos' reputation was being so damaged by the success of disabled people in revealing repeated malpractise by Atos employed assessors that Atos asked to be released from a contract valued at over £500m, and in fact bought their way out, as noted by the Minister for Disabled People and quoted in https://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/mar/27/atos-quite-work-capability-assessment-contract-early. Note also that Atos Healthcare retains contracts for Personal Independence Payments and that criticism of their performance by disabled people continues. DG

message: This section looks as if it has been copied from an Atos press release! There is some factual data in it, but much of the content, as well as the wording makes the impression of an advertorial. In particular: "a powerful combination with a highly complementary portfolio", "a powerful suite of digital and proprietary solutions recognized by top analysts as being among the most advanced", "will significantly strengthen the Group’s Business & Platform Solutions Division", "best in class platform", etc. The text should be condensed and rewritten in a more factual and objective manner. It is alright to mention the company's motives for an acquisition, but it should be clear that this does not concern facts. For example, the last statements could be rephrased as "Atos aims to strengthen its position in North America, in particular in the Banking, Finance & Insurance sector."
