Proposed change

Hi, full disclosure: I am an employee of ACWA Power working in the Marketing and Communications team. I would like to make some changes to the article in good faith, in order to make sure the information is accurate and up-to-date. Please review my changes below -- all the information has been sourced to independent third parties, apart from one line on employee numbers which comes from a document from ACWA Power posted on the Saudi Exchange website. All feedback on my proposed edits is very welcome.  Preceding unsigned comment added by MferrariACWA (talkcontribs) 07:11, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@MferrariACWA: I'd like to help, but don't see any sources for the updated information you're requesting to have added. There's a list of sources, but they appear to be from the older content. Can you add proper inline citations for the new information? STEMinfo (talk) 00:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
@STEMinfo: Thank you. It seems I can't add inline citations to this template so I have added them below each section. Please let me know if this helps. MferrariACWA (talk) 13:27, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Is there a better way to format the edit request to make it clear which sections need to be replaced? MferrariACWA (talk) 08:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Notes

  1. The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.
