Re: Energy Company

If you'd like to edit it, assuming you don't use blatant NPOV, I don't see why you can't make constructive non-spamming edits. Be bold in editing the page by updating any information that you feel needs to be updated. But yes, I can help with whatever you might need in editing the article. Could you tell me on my talk page specifically what you'd like help with?

Hello Ojay123, Thank you for your prompt response and willingness to help us! :) It has been strongly suggested to us to not edit our own article and instead to leave edits on the "discussion" tab, and we comply and fully understand the concerns that can raise.

We are really grateful to you that you show some interest in collaborating with us. What we would like at this moment is to update the company profile information.

On the right hand box:

Founded: 1919, Duncan, OK, U.S. (instead of Dallas)

Products: Products and services to the energy industry (instead of Technical services to the petroleum industry; Construction)

Employees: 50,000 (instead of 57,000)

Net Income: 1,538,000

Sentences to include at the end of "during Involvement in the Iraq war" section of the article - as we are stating both party in a NPOV, making sure that the timeline of KBR is included.

All of the government services and engineering and construction businesses have been and remain with KBR.

With the separation of KBR in April 2007, Halliburton became a pure oilfield services company able to focus on global growth opportunities in their core energy services business. Much of the Iraq War activity was through the former service line KBR which was separated from Halliburton in 2007.

Halliburton former HQ

Hi! In regards to this edit - It doesn't matter if Halliburton owned or leased the building. The image needs to be displayed as it is vital to the understanding of the subject.

Also "oh, it's leased, so it doesn't count" is not a good criteria for displaying photos about company facilities. It is extremely common for companies to lease space for headquarters, instead of actually owning space. It makes things more flexible. Many companies (former Halliburton subsidiary KBR, Continental Airlines, etc.) have headquarters in downtown office buildings; those places are leased, leased, leased.
