Per WP:RS and WP:IS, please provide proper sources for the citations. Per WP:V, if there's absolutely no reliable and independent source of these activities, it cannot be added, even if it seems obviously true. Ferkjl (talk) 12:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

I work at Aviva and would like to suggest some edits to the Aviva Wikipedia page please:

• Specific text to be added or removed: I would like to suggest that this sentence "It has about 33 million customers[3] across 16 countries.[4] " Is amended to "It has about 18 million customers in the UK, Canada and Ireland".
• Reason for the change: We have recently reduced the number of countries that Aviva operate in which has also changed the number of customers that we have.
• References supporting change: https://www.aviva.com/content/dam/aviva-corporate/documents/about-us/about-aviva-2021-q3.pdf and https://www.forbes.com/power-women/#3f7bb8ee5e25</ (Aviva is mentioned under Amanda Blanc's ranking)

 Done Happy Editing--IAmChaos 04:40, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

MediaKyle - This article has been tagged as "Undisclosed paid". Any edits believed to be "undisclosed paid" (or promotional) should be removed immediately. Please can you indicate which editors or edits you suspect are "undisclosed paid" so we can deal with this? Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 18:40, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

See my contribs - every article I'm tagging right now is a client of a listed paid editing company. It turns out to be quite the expansive scheme, the details of which were forwarded to ARBCOM. I can be more specific if need be, but I'm trying to be careful about how much I say onwiki. MediaKyle (talk) 18:42, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

OK. But we need to address the issue. If you know who the editor is, are you able to revert the offending edits yourself? Dormskirk (talk) 18:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Well see that's sort of the problem. I think there's a great deal of accounts, and a large part of the issue is the fact that the company in question is paying for sources to be created. Take a look at what's being removed from J-P Conte at the moment and you'll get an idea of what I mean. MediaKyle (talk) 18:46, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Basically what I'm saying is, it's not a simple revert - all these articles need to be gone over with a fine-tooth comb. MediaKyle (talk) 18:53, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

OK. I have removed the sponsorship section for now which might, in part, have been put there by editors acting on behalf of the company. The rest looks pretty factual. I am happy to use a fine toothcomb but need to know who the offending editors were. Dormskirk (talk) 18:57, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

I see now you've been keeping an eye on this article, so it's likely not as bad as others I've tagged, but the sources will still need to be carefully examined. For example, the source for the latest CEO is this article. When you scroll down and click "advertising", you'll find that this website is owned by Infopro Ignite, who "[helps] brands engage exclusive audiences across capital markets, insurance and fintech through compelling content solutions and thought leadership campaigns." Identifying individual editors can be difficult, but the sources don't lie, and I think you'll find many of the sources on articles I've tagged today are manufactured in this manner. I think we're pretty much going to have to check each source one by one on all of these articles in order to get anywhere with it. MediaKyle (talk) 19:06, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. Got it. So as long as we remove anything that was sourced to an Infopro source, that should solve it for now? Dormskirk (talk) 19:11, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

It's not just infopro, but you can always tell which sources were paid for based on the fine print. I just read the whole Aviva article, and you're right, the rest of it is pretty factual and doesn't seem to present much bias now that the sponsorship section is gone. I might consider removing the senior management section altogether based on the sourcing of it, but you can make the call... It's not overly problematic, but I have to wonder if it merely exists to get their names out there. Feel free to remove the undisclosed paid tag when you think it's appropriate. MediaKyle (talk) 19:15, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

That's great. I have removed the senior management section as well: I don't think it is necessary. Many thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 19:20, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
