Discussion at Primerica

Hi all! On behalf of Primerica, I’ve started a discussion [[Talk:Primerica#Discussion_about_undue_weight_of_minority_viewpoint ]] about a topic that’s grown to be controversial on the page and may interest members of this group. The page could really benefit from the opinion of experienced, neutral editors. (I don’t make edits because of my COI) Could anyone here weigh in? TermLifeOG (talk) 16:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Climate action investment networks in the news, but not in Wikipedia

I posted a detailed request at WikiProject Climate Change talk (with references included).

House Republicans are going hammer-and-tong against climate change action investing, releasing a subcommittee report accusing several of the organized investor groups of collusion and anti-trust violations. This includes some of the biggest investment entities in the world, some of which have been persuaded by political pressures to withdraw.

But these climate action investment networks, which apparently have become a BFD, are not well covered in Wikipedia. Climate Action 100+, the main organization IDed by the House subcommittee, has no Wikipedia mention. The Ceres organization, an older player which helps run Climate Action 100+, seems to be way out of date in this respect.

I'm not equipped to handle these changes. Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Climate Change#Climate action investing articles for more information. I'm hoping there are WikiProject Business editors who are interested and better able. -- M.boli (talk) 14:33, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Yagan request: Excelerate Labs and IAC information

Hello Wikiproject Business,

I have an open conflict of interest request: Talk:Sam_Yagan#Request_to_update_Excelerate_Labs_and_IAC_information.

This request is to add information about some of Sam Yagan's previous businesses to the Sam Yagan article. I made this request on behalf of Yagan through my work at Corazon Capital. Thank you for considering. CBCorazon (talk) 20:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge of business and companies WikiProjects

It looks like we have a number of reasonably active WikiProjects in this area, as well as some inactive ones:

WikiProject Business
WikiProject Companies
WikiProject Finance & Investment
WikiProject Retailing (currently inactive)
WikiProject Marketing & Advertising (currently inactive)
WikiProject Trade (currently inactive)

I don't edit in this area, but to me it would make sense to combine efforts and merge these projects, reducing duplicated work in tagging articles and other maintenance tasks, and driving activity towards a single talk page. The active projects could be retained as task forces of the new project for more focused work, if desired. If there is interest, the process is quite straightforward and we have recently done something similar with history projects that went well. There would just need to be a consensus amongst members of the affected projects here, as well as a decision on which projects (if any) to retain as task forces. Thoughts? – Joe (talk) 17:56, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Hello! On behalf of businessman [[Richard M. Schulze]], I've submitted an [[Talk:Richard_M._Schulze#Request_to_update_Philanthropy_section|edit request]] to update his biography's poorly written ''Philanthropy'' section. None of the claims I've proposed are contentious, but I do not edit the main space because of my COI. Since the article is under the umbrella of this WikiProject, are any members willing to take a look?
-Thanks in advance for any feedback or article updates. [[User:Inkian Jason|Inkian Jason]] ([[User talk:Inkian Jason|talk]]) 15:19, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

-== Evan G. Greenberg edit request ==
-Hello, I'm Brooke and I'm an employee at [[Chubb Limited]] and I've posted an edit request to [[Evan G. Greenberg]]'s Wikipedia article, who is the CEO of the company. I saw that this WikiProject is within the categories of Evan's article and thought it would be a good idea to reach out here to seek interest in editors willing to review the current request on his [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Evan_G._Greenberg Talk page]. If any editors do have interest in evaluating the request, I would deeply appreciate it, and if anybody wants to know more about my COI, it's disclosed on my [[user:Brooke at Chubb|user page]].

-The article will be discussed at '''[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leadership of the Walt Disney Company]]''' until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
-Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.<!-- Template:Afd notice --></div> [[User:Trailblazer101|Trailblazer101]] ([[User talk:Trailblazer101|talk]]) 15:20, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
-== Reorganization and New Task Forces for WikiProject:Business ==
-It seems to me that the business wikiproject and category could use some reorganization to be more user-friendly and to make the editing process better. For example, I think we should consider adding more task forces to cover specific subjects within the broad business area of study. For example, one task force I'd like to propose is a Marketing/Public Relations task force with the role of creating and monitoring articles regarding marketing and public relations. I bring this up specifically because I've noticed a lack of infrastructure surrounding a very prominent subject within business studies. Any thoughts? <br/>
