Update
[edit]Hi, Ceva Logistics contacted me to offer payment in exchange for updating the Wikipedia page of CEVA Logistics, strictly adhering to the best practices defined by the encyclopedia. I have endeavored to maintain a neutral point of view and substantiate all information provided. If there are any problematic elements, I am available here or on my talk page for discussion. Best regards. NDrbs (talk) 08:26, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Request to add
[edit]Ceva Logistics contacted me (paid contribution) due to the lack of consideration of the suggested page modifications. I explained that indeed, these suggestions did not meet Wikipedia's expectations. Therefore, I am proposing the following modifications that adhere to the expectations in both form and content.
The current version of the page lacks structure. Many secondary sources are missing to support the claims. Some numbers in the infobox are not up to date. Here are the modifications I believe are relevant to make. Given my conflict of interest, I am therefore requesting the intervention of a third party if these modifications seem justified to you.
@CNMall41 I welcome your review, if you have time.

[edit]Request to add: New version
[edit]@HighKing Thank you for your vigilance! You are right, some sources confirming the notability were overlooked. Here is a new version including these important references and better retaining certain passages from the original page. Do you think it is possible to upload this new version online? (I won't do it myself due to the conflict of interest, as suggested by @CNMall41.)
- NDrbs, so long as it is approved on the Talk page, you can upload it yourself. I'm happy for you to upload this version - maybe wait to see if CNMall41 has any further comments first. HighKing++ 16:11, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- @HighKing Thank you very much for this feedback. I will wait for 7 days, and if there are no objections, I will proceed to upload it myself. Best, NDrbs (talk) 16:51, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- @NDrbs:, @HighKing:, give me a day or so and I will look closer at everything. As long as its NPOV and the content is verifiable there shouldn't be an issue. I will go ahead and incorporate. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:16, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- This was actually better than most written COI requests. I started to copy over line by line but found it easier to copy everything and then back out anything I felt didn't belong. Have a look at the edit comments and let me know if you have any questions. The one edit that could likely be added back was the unsourced sentence cut from the lead which is not cited in the body. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:22, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
