Hello, my name is Zen and I'm from the Favelle Favco office in Australia. We would like to request a number of updates for this article:
1
"It is based in Malaysia, with manufacturing facilities in Australia and the United States."
We have engineering offices / production facilities in a number of other countries across the world, with the complete list being comprised of Malaysia, Australia, China, Denmark, Singapore, Taiwan, the UAE and the USA.
2
"The company states that its cranes were used to construct nine of the ten tallest buildings ever built, including the World Trade Center in New York."
We would like to move this line into a new section entitled 'Tower Cranes', and to include a table similar to the list of the
tallest skyscrapers in the world excluding #3. The other nine buildings in the top ten on that list have in fact used Favelle Favco cranes.
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
We would also like to include a paragraph describing our M2480D tower crane.
[5]
[6]
3
We would like to add an additional section entitled 'Offshore Cranes' describing our current work in this area.
[7]
4
Lastly we would like to request the deletion of the sections relating to the crane collapses. These cranes were indeed constructed by Favelle Favco but the collapses were not due to manufacturing faults.
The March 2008 incident occurred "as workers [from the onsite client company] attempted to jack up the crane", as mentioned in the article linked on the page currently.
[8]
The October 2012 incident occurred during Superstorm Sandy, as mentioned on the page.
[9]
We feel that these sections, which comprise about half of the entire page, result in an article that reads in a non-neutral tone.

Hello, as a follow-up to my previous request, I would like to request some additional updates to be made to this article.
Currently the search terms "Favelle Favco" and "Favco" both link here, which refers to the collapse of a crane manufactured by Favelle Favco in Manhattan in 2008. In fact, there was previously a section on this article that referenced this incident, but this section was removed after my previous request for updates (it was deemed insignificant to the article as the collapse was not due to a manufacturing fault).
In the same vein, we would like these search terms ("Favelle Favco" and "Favco") to redirect to this article instead. We would also like the new search terms "Favelle Favco Cranes" and "Favco Cranes" to link to this article, as we are also referred to by these names.
Current: "It is based in Malaysia, with the main plant south of Kuala Lumpur and a branch office in Sydney."
Requested: "The main plant is based south of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with major production facilities and engineering offices also located in Sydney, Shanghai, Texas and Lynge, Denmark."
Reason: The Sydney office is not just a branch location, but is a full-fledged production facility and engineering office. The rest of the places mentioned are the locations of our other major offices.

Current: N/A
Requested: "The company was founded in 1923 by Edward Favelle and Arthur Cole under the name "Favelle and Cole". It was originally an automotive repair and welding company. It was acquired by Muhibbah Engineering in 1995."
Reason: Information on company history was requested by
Huon in
my previous request for updates. Potentially what I have written above could be fleshed out a little more using the sources below.

Current: "It had a market capitalization of RM250 million in 2012, average annual revenues of RM490 million and profits of RM29 million."
Requested: "It had a market capitalization of around RM750 million in 2014. In 2013, annual revenue for the company was approximately RM764 million, with profits of just under RM65 million."
Reason: The financial data quoted on the article currently comes from 2012 and is no longer representative of the company in its current state.

Revenue and profit (please see page 12 of the PDF, which is labelled 11 on the page numbers)

Current: "Offshore cranes make up about 85% of all of Favelle Favco's crane orders."
Requested: Removal of this sentence.
Reason: This sentence was true of the period between January and July 2013 (as noted on the page cited in the article currently). However, the 85% figure is date-sensitive and fluctuates all the time. For this reason we would like to remove this sentence.
Near the bottom of the article currently, there is a link to this page, however visiting that page turns up a 500 internal server error. The page seems to have been moved and can be found here. In fact, I've actually used this page as a source in one of my sections above and the link can be found under this citation: [5]
