message: The History section violates NPOV and is also entirely unreferenced except for one newspaper article that supports some of the history.  It could do with improvement along the lines of PA ventures, Introduction and Awards.  24.62.4.98 (talk) 08:36, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: If you have the various press releases on the web it might be useful to provide links to them in the references, clearly not critical but from a marketing perspective it allows people to trace them through.ALR 17:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Notification of page updates planned for next week 

message: I am going to remove the NPOV flag as it's no longer relevant. None of the contributors listed as having a close connection with the subject of the page have edited the page for months/years. I am the only editor who has contributed this year who has a connection with the subject (a connection I've declared) and my changes were reverted in May when the page was stripped back to a very old version.

replies: text: I've replaced the tag. First, as you have a COI, you certainly shouldn't be the one to decide whether the article is written neutrally. Secondly, the article has gotten even worse since I added the tag, rather than better. Sorry for not replying to your note in July, I have been very busy IRL and hadn't noticed it until now. To put it as simply as possible, the article needs to be rewritten almost entirely, using independent sources such as newspapers. It is much more important to us that the article is neutral and verifiable (which it is not now) rather than being 'up to date' or a 'true representation' of the company - that is what your own website is for, not Wikipedia. I'm afraid I can't offer any more assistance than that for now, but you can seek help from someone else at WP:COIN or WP:CO-OP. SmartSE (talk) 17:17, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi, I work for PA Consulting Group. The company recently announced a new CEO, and I would like to add the following sentence to the end of the 2015-present subsection of the History section:

Additionally, in the infobox, under Key people, I would like to replace Ken Toombs with Christian Norris as CEO.

thread_title:  Update the history section 

message: Hello, I am requesting updates to the lead and the history sections of this article.
:In the third paragraph of the lead, the second sentence says: "It operates in these industries from offices across the UK, US, Nordics and Netherlands." Please add Ireland to this list, so that the sentence reads: 
:*It operates in these industries from offices across the UK, Ireland, US, Nordics and Netherlands. 
:The source for this is: . 
:Next, In the last paragraph of the lead, it says: "The company is privately held with 65% of shares owned by Jacobs Engineering Group". Please change the name of this company to Jacobs Solutions, as that is now the correct name. 
:The name should also be changed to Jacobs Solutions in the 2015-present subsection of the History section where it says: "In November 2020, PA’s Board announced its recommendation to accept a proposal by Jacobs Engineering Group to acquire a 65% stake in PA."
:Lastly, in the 2015-present subsection, in the paragraph that says: "Most recently, in November 2020, PA acquired San Francisco- and Boston-based Cooper Perkins, a technology development and engineering company.", please add the following lines to end of that paragraph: 
:*In 2022, they acquired Design Partners based in Ireland, and the Cambridge Group based in Chicago.

thread_title:  Updates to Lead and History sections 

message: #  Ireland was added to the lead.
#  Jacobs Solutions was substituted for the company's previous name in the lead and in the 2015-present section. (Please note that the Wikilink was only added to the first instance of the name being mentioned in the lead, per MOS:LINKONCE).
#  The information regarding the acquisition of Design Partners and the Cambridge Group was not added, as those companies do not appear to be independently notable in Wikipedia.
