Rewrite from an employee of the company edit

Just putting a note here that an employee of Firstsource came into the IRC help channel, and asked for advice with regards to suggesting some changes to the article. Upon reading their work, I was incredibly impressed, and suggested that they go ahead. I will attempt to check back here to make sure the changes are what I expected, but if there are any issues, I would appreciate a ping and would be happy to help fix it. --MarkTraceur (talk) 14:56, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've had the article on my watchlist for a while; there was some problematic and promotional editing here in the past. Will certainly review and help where I can. Kuru (talk) 15:21, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
On a quick glance, the new article looks like a good start. Lost of trivial formatting issues, but easily corrected. There are several figures still unsourced (employees), and the CSR section needs trimming (there's a lot of adcopy coupled with primary sourcing there, I'm not sure much of it is that important). The Business World workforce ranking probably needs to specify "in India". The product section looks like there was a deliberate attempt to use neutral language (thanks), but there's still some jargon in use ("soultions", etc). I'll do a copyedit tonight when I have free time; I've added the COI disclosure for him above as well. Kuru (talk) 18:15, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Some changes have been made regarding the content as suggested by user Melcous, however please continue to help and review to ensure article does not breach guidelines. Many thanks Michael McGoldrick (talk) 15:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Updates Needed to Page edit

I work for Firstsource Solutions. We have gone through the Wikipedia page and see most of this data is outdated. I have listed the updated information below but have not edited the page as this is our company page as per the wiki guidelines. Would appreciate if any editor can please update with the correct information, I have provided below. The information has been sourced from the corporate website (https://www.firstsource.com) and audited and published annual report (https://www.firstsource.com/investor-relations/).

   Unable to implement  
Your edit request could not be implemented for the following reasons:

  1. The citation style predominantly used by the Firstsource article appears to be Citation Style 1. 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. (See WP:CITEVAR.)
  2. The requested logo must first be uploaded to Wikipedia along with the appurtenant use licensing before it can be added to the article. The COI editor may use the File Upload Wizard to accomplish this.
  3. Citation ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.)

In the collapsed section below titled Request edit 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.

Request edit examples
INCORRECT


The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.

https://www.booksource.com
https://www.journalsource.com
https://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 Firstsource article. Additionally, ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

CORRECT


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> while 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 book|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] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.[3]

References


  1. ^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2018, p. 1.
  2. ^ Harinath, Paramjit. "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46.
  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. Also, the ref tags are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. 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.

  • Two final points concerning this request:
  1. The Recognition section has been omitted from the article. By their very nature, awards can be subjective — in that they represent a very specific point of view — the point of view of the individual or organization which determines who wins the award and why. To counter this, a good practice is to limit the listing of awards to only those which are independently notable in Wikipedia.[b] To include a list of awards here, please ensure that only awards which are independently notable in Wikipedia are listed in the request.[c]
  2. The listing of subsidiaries under the Operations section has also been omitted, per WP:NOTADIRECTORY.

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.
  2. ^ An award which is independently notable is recognized by having its own article in Wikipedia.
  3. ^ The requirement I'm asking for here that the awards be notable is not due to WP:N (which is not a content requirement). My asking for notability here is to ensure WP:NPOV. The adding of several points of view to an article in the form of an awards section may skew the article's balance.[1] Thus, my own practice is to limit the listing of awards to only those which are independently notable in Wikipedia.

Thanks for the previous updates. Page #99 mentioned in the Reference URL, shows the consolidated profit & loss statement. The statement shows "Profit for the Period", which is the same as the "Net Income" as INR 3777.77 Million

  • The information is on page 97 of the report. Page 99 would be the pdf article's page number, which is typically only used in the |page= parameter if the item itself is not paginated.
