Request edit on 20 May 2020

Scytl went bankrupt. Please update. https://www.nau.ch/politik/bundeshaus/nach-e-voting-desaster-post-kauft-system-von-insolventer-firma-auf-65710243 193.240.73.32 (talk) 09:48, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

@193.240.73.32: You should be able to make this change yourself, provided that you use reliable sources, as this page doesn't appear to be protected - unless you have a conflict of interest, in which case you should declare it. I haven't made this change as I can't verify this because I don't speak German (the source you gave is in German).  Seagull123  Φ  20:32, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Seagull123, I've already updated the article. Sandstein 21:30, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Link to German language Wikipedia

Link was changed from SonntagsBlick to SonntagsBlick which looks dead, though the tiny blue link is live. I know this is approved but it's not comprehensible to most readers. I suggest the other approved method, SonntagsBlick. Numbersinstitute (talk) 21:26, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Numbersinstitute, I've simplified the text; the identity of the paper which first reported the issue is not relevant. Sandstein 11:32, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Sandstein Sounds reasonable. You also changed article to say Swiss Post bought rights "some days earlier" than bankruptcy filing. Is there a citation for that timing? I don't have access to original SonntagsBlick article which might have date. It might be weeks or months before. And I don't know Spanish bankruptcy law to know if sale was impossible after filing, though it might be. Alternative would be to say they bought rights "some time earlier" than 17 May, 2020, when the sale was first reported. I also think we should give 2 June 2020 as date of judge's order. Since they're trying to move fast, and elections using Scytl software happen every week, precise timing will matter to some readers. Numbersinstitute (talk) 17:30, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Numbersinstitute, no objections to these changes. Sandstein 17:32, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

But actually, the Swiss aspect is already covered under Scytl#Switzerland, so it can be omitted entirely above. Sandstein 17:33, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Sure. Numbersinstitute (talk) 17:42, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

User:johnsoncharles2023 Scytl did have a project in 2012, it was a singular event, and the company website also clearly doesn't have any ties with Russia. The Scytl-Russia section is potentially misleading. While Scytl did have a project in 2012, it was a singular event other than that there is a connection between Scytl and Russia.

The final sentence in the end also seems to suggest there is a relationship between then-CEO Pere Valles attending the project launch and becoming chairman of the board six years later: "Pere Valles attended the launch event in Moscow while serving as CEO of the company, before being chairman of the board of directors in April 2018."

These facts have nothing to do with each other. Additionally, Pere Valles is no longer affiliated with Scytl.

The section should be removed as it could lead to the spread of misinformation in its current form. If the editors feel the section is necessary, I would ask it to be reconsidered and reworded to make it clear that the project mentioned is not ongoing.

If there is genuine interest in including information about Scytl's projects, there is recent news from the United Arab Emirates, and from Canada (Ontario, Nova Scotia), two countries where Scytl has been active for over a decade, yet is not mentioned in this page. The project stated never came out and Yopolis bankrupt 2 years afterwards Following are the supporting links for the claim: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2014-12-15/russias-wouldbe-jack-ma?embedded-checkout=true https://fashinnovation.nyc/speakers/maxim-nogotkov/ https://exame.com/negocios/a-triste-historia-do-aspirante-a-jack-ma-da-russia/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnsoncharles2023 (talk • contribs) 09:03, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
