Proposed changes to Tegile lead and sidebar

edit

Hello Wikipedians, I am a content manager at Western Digital. I would like to request some changes to reflect the fact that Western Digital acquired Tegile Systems in 2017 and Tegile is now a brand of the company Western Digital. Due to my COI, I will not be making these changes directly. Thank you.

1. In the Lead, REPLACE "Tegile Systems is a manufacturer of flash storage arrays based in Newark, California." WITH "Tegile Systems is a brand of Western Digital that manufactures flash storage arrays." Western Digital acquired Tegile Systems in 2017. Tegile is now a brand of Western Digital. http://fortune.com/2017/08/29/western-digital-tegile/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/western-digital-buys-flash-storage-company-tegile-systems/

2. DELETE "based in Newark, California" because the Western Digital headquarters is in San Jose, California, not Newark. http://fortune.com/2017/08/29/western-digital-tegile/

3. In the Sidebar (Box) REPLACE "Type: Private" WITH "Type: Brand of Western Digital" https://www.techrepublic.com/article/western-digital-spins-down-hgst-and-tegile-brands-in-hard-disk-market-shuffle/

4. In the Sidebar (Box) REPLACE "Headquarters: Newark, California" WITH "Headquarters: San Jose, California" http://fortune.com/2017/08/29/western-digital-tegile/

5. In the Sidebar (Box) REPLACE "Key People" WITH "Founders" to accurately reflect that these individuals were Tegile founders, not Western Digital founders. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tegile-systems#section-overview

   Unable to review  

  • Your edit request could not be reviewed because the provided references are not formatted correctly. The citation style predominantly used by the Tegile Systems article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.[a] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. In the extended section below titled Citation style examples, I have illustrated two: the first shows how the edit request was submitted, the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.
Citation style examples
Bare URL reference formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles.https://www.booksource.com

The Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.http://www.journalsource.com

The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.http://www.websource.com

References


1. https://www.booksource.com
2. http://www.journalsource.com
3. http://www.websource.com

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Tegile Systems article. Your edit request similarly uses only bare URL's for the references. Using the correct style, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Citation Style 1 formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2018|page=1}}</ref>

The Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Harinath|first1=Paramjit|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2018|page=46}}</ref>

The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2018|page=2}}</ref>

Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles.[1]

The Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2]

The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.[3]

References


  1. ^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2018, p. 1.

  3. ^ Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2018, p. 2.

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards,  Spintendo  01:43, 27 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Notes

  1. ^ The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.[1]

References

  1. ^ "WP:CITEVAR - Wikipedia:Citing sources". Wikipedia. 20 October 2018. Retrieved 22 October 2018. Guideline: It is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor or adopted by the consensus of editors already working on the page, unless a change in consensus has been achieved. If the article you are editing is already using a particular citation style, you should follow it.

Changed citations to Citation Style 1 for Tegile Systems updates

edit

Thank you @Spintendo for your consideration of my proposed changes to the Tegile Systems article. Per your instruction, I have updated the sources to Citation Style 1 using the template. I hope you will now be able to assist me with these changes. Thanks again.

1. In the Lead, REPLACE "Tegile Systems is a manufacturer of flash storage arrays based in Newark, California." WITH "Tegile Systems is a brand of Western Digital that manufactures flash storage arrays." Western Digital acquired Tegile Systems in 2017. Tegile is now a brand of Western Digital. [1] [2]

2. DELETE "based in Newark, California" because the Western Digital headquarters is in San Jose, California, not Newark. [3]

3. In the Sidebar (Box) REPLACE "Type: Private" WITH "Type: Brand of Western Digital" [4]

4. In the Sidebar (Box) REPLACE "Headquarters: Newark, California" WITH "Headquarters: San Jose, California" [5]

5. In the Sidebar (Box) REPLACE "Key People" WITH "Founders" to accurately reflect that these individuals were Tegile founders, not Western Digital founders. [6]

COI edit requests: rebranding to IntelliFlash and recent purchase

edit

Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of Western Digital, a client of my employer Porter Novelli. Tegile has been rebranded to IntelliFlash and sold to a new owner, so I'd like to propose several updates to this article to reflect the latest:

  • New article title / updating name to IntelliFlash throughout
  • Updating the infobox to reflect the latest
  • Adding rebranding and sale of brand to History section, with sources
  • Deleting unsourced, non-notable info from "Technology"
  • Updating "External links" to reflect current status of brand

I've mocked up all the proposed edits here. Here's a version with all the changes to the current article highlighted/struck through, so you can see everything I'm proposing at a glance.

Thanks for your help/feedback, and please let me know if I can reformat any of this differently to make it easier to review/implement. Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:23, 8 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@MaryGaulke: i allow you to make the edits yourself but please adhere to a natural point of view.
