A Primer for Newcomers Welcome

Maxime Vernier, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet...so...Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following theEdit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

some General guidance.
Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
Ask questions at the Wikipedia:Teahouse or Help desk.
Use the Show preview button
Provide an Edit summary
Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
Take a look at Consensus of standards
Create a User page

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- ```Buster Seven Talk 19:08, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Arch Capital Group

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Arch Capital Group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 14:56, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with upload of File:Archnewlogo11.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Archnewlogo11.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is.

Stockrow

Hi. You seem pretty committed to adding links to stockrow to WP.

Hello, I'm Jytdog. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Please consider reading the material on the mainpage of WP:WikiProject Companies and then asking folks who are part of that project at the associated Talk page how they feel about adding stock listings to a Newco listing site across many WP articles, as you have been doing. That is the normal process for making the kind of broad additions you have been doing. Jytdog (talk) 11:06, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Jytdog. I have created a new section there as you suggested. Maxime Vernier (talk) 11:22, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Archnewlogo11.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Archnewlogo11.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 04:17, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Speedy deletion nomination of Global Payments

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Global Payments, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of https://www.globalpaymentsinc.com/en/unitedkingdom/about-us/about-us. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:38, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Help with BNY Mellon?

Hello! I noticed you are interested in editing finance-related articles. Would you mind taking a look at an edit request I've made on the BNY Mellon Talk page? They're very small updates, but I am avoiding making the edits myself because I have a financial COI (I'm monitoring the article on behalf of BNY Mellon). I'd appreciate any assistance you can provide, but no worries if this doesn't appeal to you. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 21:22, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removing GICS Sub-Industry from S&P 400 list

Maxime,

Is there a reason why you are removing the sub-industry on several entries for the List of S&P 400 companies page? I would think we should try to find the sub-industry when available. An example would be Jones Lang LaSalle where the sub-industry should remain Real Estate Services under the Real Estate sector. Ksu6500 (talk) 02:11, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree with you. When I did this, it was to correct the sector and since I did not know the Sub-industry I left it blank. My source for S&P 400 companies is the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF and on their website they only mention the sector but not the sub-industry. Maxime Vernier (talk) 18:35, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did find the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH) holdings spreadsheet on the iShares website. It did contain some useful information including being able to sort by name within sector. This did help to confirm we have all of the current holdings and the correct sector for each holding. It can be difficult to find the GICS sub-industry especially for holdings that have been on the index for many years. I try to use the GICS sub-industry on the S&P press release when changes are made to the index. Sometimes I have had to resort to Morningstar.com for information esp. on the Real Estate sector. I have made a bunch of edits recently so I hope they have been helpful and accurate. Ksu6500 (talk) 03:52, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request: BNY Mellon

Hi Maxime Vernier, you helped a former colleague of mine with their edit request at BNY Mellon toward the end of last year. I'm wondering if you'd have time to review this request for a few routine edits? Some requested updates under Leadership and Company culture have already been made, but I'm still seeking editors to review and implement updates to the introduction, Operations, Investment services, Recognition, and Company culture. I have a WP:COI as I am posting suggested edits for BNY Mellon as part of my work at Beutler Ink. Thanks in advance, Danilo Two (talk) 17:05, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I have updated the number of employees. Maxime Vernier (talk) 17:37, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DJIA changes

Do you have a source for your recent changes, such as [1]? I don't see any news stories that Berkshire, Facebook, or Amazon are being added to the DJIA. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:25, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, thanks for undoing my incorrect edits. Maxime Vernier (talk) 18:35, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
