Notability - for ease of demonstration
editAs a fairly marginal AfC case in terms of notability provided in-article, I suspect it is probably worthwhile indicating the more reliable Sig Cov sources. Given their substantiveness, I suspect there are probably additional worthwhile sources that could be sought out.
- Wired talking about Army Portal
- WashingtonPost on alternative to Silicon Valley, using Appian as an example
- PCMag on what they do (Little less trustworthy via Appian involvement)

Hello, my contributions are made on behalf and in consultation with Appian. Due to my COI, I won’t be editing the article directly, and I’d like to request some edits to this page:
Intro

Tysons
withMcLean[1]
- Adding this sentence to the end of the second paragraph:
Its Low-Code Automation Platform enables businesses to create apps using little or no code.[2][3]
History

Matt Calkins is the CEO.[1]

- After 2018 line, add:
In May 2019, Appian released Appian AI to allow customers to implement artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in any application built on Appian’s platform.[5]

with:
In March, the company updated its platform’s AI and robotic process automation (RPA) capabilities.[9] Later in 2020, Appian launched four apps to help businesses with COVID-19-related issues.[10] The first was a health management app to help other businesses track workforce health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, by collecting information from employees and storing it in a HIPAA-compliant cloud.[11] That app is called COVID-19 Response Management.[7][12]
Additional Requests
edit- It would be great to add the company logo to this article. Here is a link to the logo: [1], available from [2]
- There is a page flag dating from 2018 regarding additional citations needed. The article currently has 31 references, all of which are independent, 3rd party, reliable sources. I'd like to propose that the page be reviewed and the flag removed if another editor agrees that it no longer needs additional verification.

I appreciate the time, effort, and feedback I can get on this. Thank you! JMGAppian (talk) 19:28, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @JMGAppian:. Thank you for using this template and waiting patiently. You stated that these edits are in consultation with Appian. Are you being paid to edit Wikipedia on their behalf? If so, you need to make this explicit in your declarations, including your user page and this talk page. Please see Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure for more information.

COI edit requests, addressing the page flag
editThis edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello, my contributions are paid and made on behalf of and in direct consultation with Appian Corporation. Due to my COI, I won’t be editing the article directly.
I've put together suggested edits for the page to address the recent {{Cleanup-PR}}
flag added by @DGG: and also incorporate the changes from @Z1720: during their recent review of the Services section. DGG had provided a helpful breakdown for why the flag was added on their talk page, here.
I've mocked up the changes in my sandbox and made edits from the previous version of the page so it's easier to see the edit diffs. If these changes look good, please feel free to copy directly from the sandbox version. I'm happy to discuss anything that may still be of concern. And again, I appreciate you taking the time to review and implement edit requests. Thank you! JMGAppian (talk) 15:15, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Addressing recent edits
editAdded back some of the information removed by 2620:8d:8000:1028:3926:25a5:f03c:eebd. Framworks section seems fine, just need to adjust title to match the section. Sources seem to use "solutions" but sounds like a buzzwrd. Add back CEO info, has received good amt of coverage to include and is owner of almost half the shares. Fixed alphebetical order of founders based on last name which is standard. Addt'l source for Ryder info not a lack of covrage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.236.60 (talk) 16:53, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
revision
editYou asked me to review the Appian article. I have incorporated most of your changes, and made some edits for compactness. There still seemsto be considerable duplication of referneces; I will get oti t when I can. After I do, I'll probably remove the banner. There are 3 remaining problems--how much about the CEO to incorporate, if he does not get his separate article (which I am not going to judge or review),--whether the Ryder contract is significant-- and whether to describe the firm as engaged in Enterprise software and cloud computing software. I think it's important to keep enterprise in somewhere to describe the business level being aimed at. For attribution purposes, it is necessary for you to retain your draft page.

editI was asked on my Talk Page to review. Appreciate the recognition and ping and made some edits. I'll do a few more. Not ready yet to remove that banner, but getting close. --FeldBum (talk) 15:42, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

I'd like to request a review of this article by an uninvolved editor to assess whether the {{Cleanup-PR}}
flag is still necessary on this article. The article has been significantly cleaned up since the flag's placement in October 2020. All of the changes since the flag's placement can be viewed here. If there are any additional concerns related to the {{Cleanup-PR}}
