Talk:Laureate Education


Hello, my name is Patrice. I'm here on behalf of my employer, Laureate Education. Per WP:COI, I've disclosed my conflict of interest here and on my Talk page. When I first came to Wikipedia, I was not aware of the rules for COI editors and made the mistake of directly editing this article. From now on, I will strictly follow the rules and as such will only post suggestions for updates and changes to the article here and on appropriate discussion pages. My goal here is to improve the quality of this article and the encyclopedia overall by providing up-to-date information, improving sourcing, addressing inaccuracies, and suggesting structural changes.

The first change I'd like to propose is the addition of some information to our company infobox. It appears common for infoboxes to list key people within the company and a link to the company's page. Ours currently only mentions the company's founder, Douglas Becker and does not include an external link to our website. I'd like to suggest the following:

Feel free to reach out with questions or comments here or on my talk page. Thanks! PMV1111 (talk) 05:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, hello! After some recent collaboration with editors to improve the page (for which I am very appreciative of Ferkjl's efforts, thank you!), I have some new notes to share about the Visits by world and business leaders content. I suggest trimming this content by removing mentions that are unsourced, reliant on press releases and other primary sources, or that are otherwise unacceptable for use on Wikipedia. Specifically, I suggest removing the following content based on these points:

One editor noted above, generally, that the section is "highly unusual". I am interested in thoughts from others for the best handling of this atypical information, beyond my observations listed here. I will continue to avoid changing the article myself, understanding rules about my conflict of interest. If there are any interested volunteers, I look forward to collaborating and will ask you to make edits on my behalf. Thanks for any help, in advance! PMV1111 (talk) 04:09, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello hello! I'm back again to request the help of editors. I've noticed that the current Corporate history section is quite detailed and seems like could be shortened to fit Wikipedia's summary style. I've worked to consolidate the existing section and updated it to follow a chronological timeline. Ferkjl and Anneyh, since you've both provided constructive feedback and assistance implementing my previous requests, I thought I'd ask if you'd be willing to review and leave feedback or implement changes as appropriate? I've posted a link to the draft at the end of this message and some highlights of changes below.
