Talk:Dana Gas

Draft for review

Hello, I'm Fatima! I am the External Affairs Manager & Investor Relations Officer for Dana Gas, and as I've noted on my profile page, I've registered a Wikipedia account to represent the company and propose improvements to this discussion page. Since I have a conflict of interest, I will make suggestions here and avoid changing the live article myself.

I'd like to identify a few problems with the page. First, the layout could be improved. Currently there is a long introduction with an assortment of facts, a couple of which are unsourced. Then, there's a section dedicated to Kom Ombo, which seems misleading since an independent investigation determined Dana Gas activities were not associated with the local flooding. Finally there is a long section specifically about sukuk. Certainly this content is important, but I think Wikipedia can offer a better summary instead of a detailed breakdown of every development and with fewer direct quotes. Overall, the article offers little information about the company's operations, finances, and corporate history.

I've saved a draft article here for editors to consider. I expect editors to review carefully for accuracy and I've tried to use neutral language throughout. I've added some structure, with sections for "Corporate affairs" (based on some other company articles), "Operations" (separated by region), and general company history with a subsection for sukuk content. I've used only reliable news sources, which I hope editors will consider an improvement over a few of the current ones like Rigzone.com and WorldOil.com.

Can an editor watching this page please take a look at the draft, and hopefully take live? @BoogaLouie: I see you made some updates to the article back in late 2017, can you possibly take a look at the draft page and copy over as you deem appropriate? I know there's a lot of content here to review so I am happy to take on just one section at a time. Thanks in advance to those who will help review requests.

Hello again. I've asked for editor assistance at WikiProject Energy, WikiProject United Arab Emirates, and WikiProject Egypt, but no one has offered to review the draft at User:Fatima at Dana Gas/Dana Gas yet. In addition to User:BoogaLouie, I see User:Beagel and User:Slick1nz have worked on this page. I've outlined issues with the current article and was wondering if one of you could help review my request and draft to update the page. Thanks for any help in advance.

@Fatima at Dana Gas: Thank you for your notification and I would like to also thank you for following our COI guidelines. I had a quick look and your draft here and it is certainly an improvement compared to the current article. Unfortunately I don't have time in coming two weeks or so to go through all the text in details. If there is no other responses before that, I will be glad to do this after two-three weeks. You may leave a reminder at my talk page if I have not take any action for that time. You may also ask for help at the at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. At the moment I have only one recommendation which is to change order of sections moving the History section first followed by the Operations section and the Corporate affairs sections to be in line with the standard structure for the companies' articles.

@Beagel: I appreciate your kind words about the draft, and I'm comfortable with editors placing the sections in whatever order is most compliant with Wikipedia's standards. I will leave a reminder for you if there's no movement soon, and I'm happy for editors to review just a section at a time if that's less of a burden. Thanks again.
