Factual errors
editI work at WPP as head of web services. This article contains a number of factual errors or out-of-date information. For example, as of June 10 2014 WPP's market capitalisation was £17.2 billion, not the £5 billion quoted in the article. In 2013 reported billings were £46.2 billion and reported revenues were £11 billion. The Group currently (as of June 2014) employs 175,000 people (including associates) in 3,000 offices in 110 countries. An up-to-date fact file can be found here: http://www.wpp.com/wpp/about/wppataglance/ Perhaps the best approach would be for someone to update the figures as above and add "as of [date]" to future-proof them for readers?

WPP NPOV
editThe WPP section reads like a PR handout, which I suspect is pretty much what it is. I'm surprised that a major ad agency couldn't do a better job though. Maybe they let some intern do it. --Ef80 (talk) 17:03, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
- I've just checked the actual WPP plc article, and it's much better. --Ef80 (talk) 17:07, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
