Talk:MDC Partners

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. Some of the changes in question have been made. No reason why this request should remain open

Hi. I've been working on behalf of MDC Partners to research and draft a new and expanded version of this article. Since I began my research, this article has gone through a major clean-up thanks to Sam1139. While it looks much better, the article could still benefit from additional details about the company's history, organization, and its partners and services. Due to my financial COI, I don't want to make any direct edits to the article. Instead, I'd prefer if editors could review my proposed draft, let me know what they think, and move it to the live article if it seems OK. The draft is in my user space here:

• User:Heatherer/MDC Partners

You'll see that I've organized the article into three main sections: Operations, History, and Competitors. I used all independent sources, aside from the company website, which was used to support the list of agencies. I hope that other editors will view this draft as a further improvement, but I'm open to any feedback regarding the neutrality of the language, the sources, or the information I included. I should also note that I didn't remove any information that currently appears in the article (including the language in the Miles Nadal section), just reorganized and added to it. Thanks!

I've updated the MDC Partners page to reflect some of Heatherer's suggestions that were relevant and didn't sound like an advertisement. Thank you for the help and COI disclosure. Sam1139 (talk) 03:06, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Sam1139. Thanks so much for checking out the draft and making changes. The article is looking better, however, I was hoping you could give some specific feedback about why you have not included much of the Company overview or the Growth strategy sections. These two section contain valuable information about the agency's operations, so I'd love the opportunity to rework these areas if you think it's needed for them to be included. Can you give me any specific pointers on why you left some of that information out?

In addition, I'm curious about your removal of the paragraph from the History section that starts with "In December 2012" and discusses several acquisitions. Are there any improvements I can make there?

Finally, here's a source that can be added to the lede to address the "citation needed" tag.^[1]

Again, I really appreciate your help. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 20:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

See my talk page here: here; edit history on user page here: here. Sorry I should probably go into more detail but edit as you see fit if you see fit - this has taken way longer than I thought it would. However, mission accomplished. On to the next.
