RELX, not RELX Group

Hi - I just wanted to bring attention to the fact that as of last week, the company is now known as 'RELX', without the Group - this isn't a name change as such (the underlying legal entities remain unchanged, and RELX Group plc still exists) but relx.com is in the process of being updated, so it would make sense for it to be reflected here at some point too.Ryoba (talk) 14:06, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Some proposed changes

Could you add the business unit "Cirium" under Risk & Business Analytics under Accuity: Citation showing Cirium is a business unit of RELX.

Information to be added or removed: Cirium Cirium, operates globally within the Risk & Business Analytics division of RELX. Cirium Solutions provides analytical tools and market intelligence across four areas; air operations, financial investments, commercial strategy and traveler experience. Cirium Professional Services, Ascend by Cirium, conducts aircraft valuations, market commentaries, ratings, forecasts and advisory to banks, aircraft lessors, airlines, non-banking financial institutions and insurance firms. Cirium grew significantly through the acquisition of data intelligence companies, including Ascend, Innovata, Diio and FlightStats.

   Unable to review  
Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly.

  1. The citation style predominantly used by the RELX 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. 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 RELX article. Additionally, the ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Your edit request similarly does not elaborate on which reference goes where, and does not have the references formatted using CS1. 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]

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. Regards,  Spintendo  05:11, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

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.

Follow-up to request above

@Spintendo: Hi, I see that someone has been trying to get some text about Cirium added to this page. Whilst what they've been suggesting is clearly too promotional, I do think that there is merit to having a mention for Cirium here, as one of the better known parts of the Risk business. Would it be possible to get something like this added:

Cirium (previously known as FlightGlobal), operates globally within the Risk & Business Analytics division of RELX. It provides data and analytics solutions across the travel industry. Cirium’s portfolio comprises Cirium Solutions, Cirium Professional Services - Ascend by Cirium, and FlightGlobal.[1]

Disclosure: I'm a RELX employee, but all suggestions I make are done in good faith. Many thanks Ryoba (talk) 10:09, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

This looks OK to me so I have inserted it. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 12:32, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
Excellent - many thanks Ryoba (talk) 10:07, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Suggested change

Hi - I've noticed that in the Privacy section, it says that the Seisint data breach occurred in 2008. In fact it was in 2005 (there are plenty of sources, eg. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/news/computersecurity/infotheft/2005-03-09-lexis-nexis-breach_x.htm) - The issue was settled in 2008. Could this please be updated? Many thanks Ryoba (talk) 11:49, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Done. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 23:32, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
