edit@Rjmnijman: Why not use Forbes for the Forbes 500 list? High Bridge Academy looks sketchy. Also, Zoominfo is not a reliable source. It's scraped from LinkedIn and other user-generated sources, plus all of those questionable phone directory websites. Snowman304|talk 14:37, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- One more question: why did you undo the change under the heading DIVISIONS? I used the exact same source as the one that was already there for the 2022 annual sales number, but then a more current article to update the page with a more current annual figure for 2023? Thanks for your reply! Rjmnijman (talk) 16:08, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- That one was a mistake. MediaWiki (the platform Wikipedia uses) reverts all edits of a user in a row. So it took out the two after WikiCleanerBot stepped in. Snowman304|talk 04:46, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your fast reply. I agree wrt Forbes, but the Forbes-website had a pop-up that prevents you from seeing the whole list, which I figured does not make it an effective source? (see https://fortune.com/ranking/fortune500/).
- As for the number of employees, the previous (or now current-again) reference was an Avery Dennison weblink, which doesn't seem practical either? https://web.archive.org/web/20170613201555/http://www.investors.averydennison.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=97892&p=irol-faq.
If you disagree, we could use the 2024-version of the same source to have the information updated? https://www.investors.averydennison.com/news-releases/news-release-details/avery-dennison-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2023 Rjmnijman (talk) 14:45, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
