Talk:FactSet

Tone of the lead overly promotional

This page came to my attention after seeing a link to it added to a page on my watchlist. This article's lead strikes me as being excessively promotional, particularly in having six consecutive sentences of rankings. Forbes, Business Week and Fortune seem notable rankings, but Glassdoor.com doesn't strike me as particularly notable. In my view it would be sufficient to collapse that paragraph to a sentence stating the company has been ranked in Forbes, Fortune and Business Week and put the titles of the rankings in the references. -IxK85 (talk) 11:29, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Needs more info on data services

My view is that this page should give an overview of what kind of data the fact set data service offers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.61.62.237 (talk) 01:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
