Hi Sarah. Just wanted to check on this article as I noticed that you had concerns over sexism and balance in the sourcing. I know you said that you were unlikely to be able to return soon, but I wanted to check if you still have concerns. If you do, I'm inclined to hold up promotion for a little while; if you are fine with it, I will look and see if it is ready to go. Sarastro1 (talk) 12:03, 8 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Smithfield Foods

edit

HI Sarah, my name is Jeremy and I'm a representative of Smithfield Foods. Thank you for taking the time to edit the Smithfield Foods Wikipedia page. There's quite a bit of outdated information on the page and I'd like to help provide updated information. As an example, reference 20 which is the source for our current list of brands goes to a dead link. Our currently list of brands can be found here: http://www.smithfieldfoods.com/our-brands. If I can be of any assistance please let me know.

Hi Jeremy Smithfield, thanks for letting me know that the list was outdated. I've updated it using a company press release posted on a news site. For future reference, it's better to post these requests on the article's talk page so that others can respond too. SarahSV (talk) 01:11, 19 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Referral Policy Recommendations

edit

Hi @SlimVirgin: our security team has published the recommendations at meta:HTTP Referral Headers. Sorry for not responding sooner, we did the review internally, but there were a series of folks being in and out of office, including Wikimania. Astinson (WMF) (talk) 21:57, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
