This article needs to be changed as it suggests than HHC is the largest hotel chain in the world when Hilton Group holds that. It is therefore important to declare that HHC is simply hotels in the US & Canada therefore many facts on this page should be moved to Hilton Group.
^^ This is no longer relevant has HHC has now bought over Hilton International and there is no longer a distinction between the two companies. Thus Hilton Hotel Corporation is the largest hotel chain in the world (owning over 2600 properties across the entire Hilton Family of hotels)
The entry has the sentence, "On October 14, 2005 Hilton Hotels Corporation approached the British-based Hilton Group (FTSE:HG) with a possible sale of Hilton Group's hotel's business with a possible figure of $6.3US."
This is unclear, is this $6.3US Billion?
Hilton becomes the first international hotel chain with the opening of the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
what date was this?
The article is also missing a large chunk of history where Hilton acquired Promus brands. This gave them a second corporate office in Memphis, TN (the former Promus headquarters, which is still in operation today and contains many vital functions of HHC including their entire secured data center) and it also gave them the following brands: Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, and Homewood Suites. The secondary corporate office in Memphis, TN hosts their franchise departments, provides support and vital functions for their franchised hotels, and deals with such primary corporate issues such as state taxes, sales, marketing, hotel IT support, in-house programming of proprietary applications, and Human Resources- just to name a few. The Memphis coporate office should not be ignored as it is a vital operational aspect of the company.
You may also want to include that the reservations offices are in Texas but the primary customer service department is also housed at the Memphis office.

I added about controversy in Norway, Scandic Hotels and racism case. An Oslo hotel owned by the U.S.-based Hilton Hotel Corp. faced protests, a boycott and a police complaint this week after refusing to book rooms for a Cuban delegation because of the United States' trade embargo against Cuba. Norwegian law ensures that no one can be denied access based on their citizenship or ethnic origin. The 300,000-member Norwegian Union of Municipal and General Employees said it would boycott all Scandic hotels in Norway.We are already looking for other hotels for planned conferences," union deputy leader Anne Grethe Skaardal said Friday.

On behalf of Hilton, I have another request: for corrections to the article's "History" section. Each of these requests can be verified here (click on tabs for specific decades), which is already used as an inline citation in the article. I propose the following four wording changes:
1. First, it seems unnecessary to mention Conrad Hilton's ambition in an article providing an overview of the company. Can the text be reduced to the following?
Before: Hilton was founded by Conrad Hilton in 1919 with the purchase of the 40-room Mobley Hotel in Cisco, Texas. Over the following several years, Conrad purchased more hotels in Texas. While business was strong, he had greater ambition.
After: In 1919, Conrad Hilton purchased his first hotel, the 40-room Mobley Hotel in Cisco, Texas, and bought additional Texas hotels as years passed.
2. The article currently says that Hilton opened the first high-rise building in Dallas, which is not accurate. Also, there are currently grammatical errors and this much detail is not necessary for a company overview. I propose the following correction / update:
Before: In 1925, Hilton opened the first high-rise building in Dallas, Texas. The Dallas Hilton would become the first hotel to carry the Hilton name on its building (though the building is now not operated by Hilton Worldwide). Uniquely because air conditioning was not yet invented, elevators, laundry chutes, and other non-guest facilities were placed on the west side of the building - so no guest would face the western sunset.
After: In 1925, the Dallas Hilton became the first hotel to use the Hilton name.
3. The article is currently wrong about the year of establishment. Also, it is probably not necessary to mention the Roosevelt Hotel's television sets. This seems more appropriate for the article about the property, and not a company overview. I proposed the following correction / update:
Before: In 1943, Hilton purchased the Roosevelt Hotel and the Plaza Hotel in New York. This would create the first coast-to-coast hospitality company in the America. Then in 1947, he created the Hilton Hotels Corporation, leading the new company to be publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In this same year, Hilton's Roosevelt Hotel would be the first ever in the world to offer television sets in all guest rooms.
After: In 1943, Hilton purchased the Roosevelt Hotel and the Plaza Hotel in New York, establishing the first hospitality company to span the contiguous United States. The company incorporated in 1946 as the Hilton Hotels Corporation, and subsequently began public trading of shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
4. Currently, the article reads as though Lady Hilton was a specific property, which is not true: it was a hotel concept that applied to various properties. I propose the following correction:
Before: In 1965, Hilton launched the Lady Hilton, the first hotel designed for women travelers. The hotel features women only floors and guest rooms, and had amenities only for women.
After: In 1965, Hilton launched Lady Hilton, the first hotel concept created specifically for women guests. To appeal to female travelers, a number of properties offered floors occupied by only women along with distinct amenities for their usage.

I'm here on behalf of Hilton Worldwide, as part of my work at Beutler Ink, to suggest some updates for this article. I'd like to start with a request for three updates to the article's infobox:
1. Update: "$8.0 billion (2013)" to "$11.27 billion (2015)" per this more recent source. (See page 43 or control+F "11,272" to verify.) I've supplied some wiki markup with a formatted reference for easy copying and pasting as an inline citation:

2. Update: "152,000 employees / 162,000 franchise employees (Dec 2013)" to "164,000 employees at managed, owned, leased and timeshare properties and corporate offices (Dec 2015)" per this more recent source. (See marked page 2 or Control+F "164,000" to verify.) This is the same source used above, so the reference can be named as used, or the following can be copied and pasted:

3. Hilton Worldwide also seeks to remove "Blackstone Group" as the designated parent company. Blackstone Group is a majority shareholder, but not a parent company.

See also: User_talk:Toohool#Re:_Hilton_Worldwide_article_request. Inkian Jason ( talk) 17:22, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Copied from User:Toohool's talk page:
On second thought, I believe it is still incorrect to include "Blackstone Group" in the infobox in any capacity. Since Hilton Worldwide is a publicly traded company, it is actually incorrect for anyone to be called an "owner" and the parameter guidelines for the infobox say (my bold): "Use this parameter to list ownership percentages for private companies owned by a few key individuals or to list ownership percentages for joint ventures, if applicable. Do not use this field for publicly traded companies. When listing a company as an owner, use the full legal name of the entity that holds the ownership stake in the article's subject company." Would you mind eliminating Blackstone Group from the infobox altogether?
@ Toohool and WhisperToMe: In case one of you has time to respond. Thanks! Inkian Jason ( talk) 17:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
@ Altamel: Since you've been so helpful, I was wondering if you had an opinion about removing Blackstone Group from the infobox given the above guideline. Inkian Jason ( talk) 15:23, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
I don't see any good reason to remove this from the infobox. The infobox is supposed to present a summary of important facts from the article in a standard format. For a reader who is looking in the infobox and expects to find information about the ownership of the company, this is the information they're looking for. Toohool ( talk) 17:08, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

![]() | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. See my comment below for my rationale. |
On behalf of Hilton Worldwide, I have some additional requests for this article. I've outlined 4 specific changes below, all related to the History section.
1. Currently, the article displays a box with the quote, "Our vision is to fill the earth with the light and warmth of hospitality, by being the first choice of hotel guests, team members, and owners alike." However, the inline citation, which links to the Hilton website, displays the following: "To be the preeminent global hospitality company - the first choice of guests, team members, and owners alike."
2. Can the following sentence be removed from the History section? "Conrad Hilton was featured on the cover of Time Magazine, the only hotelier at the time to have been so." This is about Conrad Hilton, and not the company itself. This fact is probably better suited for the Conrad Hilton article.
3. Can the following sentence be removed from the History section? "The 499-room Hilton Istanbul became so famous that it earned its own zip code and postal stamp." This seems appropriate for the
Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus article, but not an article providing a general overview of Hilton Worldwide.
4. Can the following sentences be removed from the History section? "Hilton became the first hospitality company in September of the same year to create the franchise concept. This allowed a hotel to operate under the Hilton name to utilize company systems and brand recognition, but would not be operated by Hilton Worldwide, instead by a private party." This content is unsourced.
Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:15, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
@ St170e: Thank you for your help thus far. Regarding #1: I would be find leaving the vision and mission statements, if both are appropriate for the Wikipedia article. Just including the mission statement would be fine if both vision and mission might seem too much. If both are kept, however, I don’t think they should be presented as a single quote by Conrad Hilton since this is not how the two statements appear on the Hilton website.

I have another request to submit on behalf of Hilton Worldwide. This request proposes the removal of several unsourced claims in various sections of the article.
I realize a couple of these requests may be considered minor, but I'd still prefer to have a neutral editor make changes as I have a conflict of interest. Thanks for considering these proposed updates. Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:26, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

I am submitting another request on behalf of Hilton Worldwide as part of my work for Beutler Ink. This request proposes 2 changes to the article's lead.
Thanks again for your consideration. I am happy to address any questions or concerns reviewers may have about these proposed changes. Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:08, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Should this article's infobox include Blackstone Group in the "owner" parameter?
I submitted a request to remove Blackstone Group from the infobox (see the Request for updates to infobox section above, or more specifically, the Re: Blackstone Group subsection). Hilton Worldwide is a publicly traded company. According to infobox template documentation (bold emphasis mine), we should "Use [the owner] parameter to list ownership percentages for private companies owned by a few key individuals or to list ownership percentages for joint ventures, if applicable. Do not use this field for publicly traded companies. When listing a company as an owner, use the full legal name of the entity that holds the ownership stake in the article's subject company."
User:Toohool disagrees with the infobox documentation. User:Altamel does not feel strongly either way, but offered the following compromise: "perhaps Blackstone Group could be removed from the infobox while writing a sentence in the introduction about Blackstone's plurality ownership stake". I agreed to this compromise. User:Toohool did not accept the compromise, and User:Altamel closed the edit request saying there is no consensus for update the article accordingly.
I think template documentation supports my argument, but Blackstone Group remains in the infobox and I am not willing to edit the article myself given my conflict of interest (see multiple sections above). I would like for more editors to weigh in on this discussion. Thank you in advance. Inkian Jason ( talk) 19:55, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

These are brands of the Hilton Worldwide family. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be included. Hoteljargon ( talk) 18:51, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
I just want to direct readers to this conversation above for some additional context, where I argued: "Setting aside brand confusion, the Walford Astoria image includes a registered trademark and should probably only be used under fair use. Per Logos, "they are usually non-free images, and so their use must conform to the guidelines for non-free content and, specifically, the non-free content criteria", and "logos are often registered trademarks and so their use is restricted independently of copyright concerns"... There is no need to include logos for all of the brands in the Hilton portfolio, especially those with their own articles. Again, per Logos, "A logo may appear in the infobox of the main article on the subject the logo represents. For example, the main company logo may appear in the main article about the company, the main school logo in the main article about the school, and the main sports team logo in the main article about the sports team, but a school logo and a school sports team logo may not both appear in the same article (although they may appear in separate articles). Outside of these limits, neither non-free nor trademarked logos (see discussion) should be used within an article." I hope this helps to explain why the logos should not be included." Sorry for the redundancy here. I just wanted to make sure reviewers saw the above conversation. Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:41, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
@ St170e: It looks like the discussion period has ended. What is your takeaway from this discussion? Should the logos be removed? Inkian Jason ( talk) 17:22, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

On August 14, an anonymous editor updated the number of properties, rooms, and countries, but did not provide a source for this information. This information is correct, but there is one minor caveat worth noting (see parentheses below). On behalf of Hilton, I propose updating "As of June 30 2016, its portfolio includes 4,726 properties with 775,866 rooms in 104 countries & territories," with the following markup and inline citation: "As of June 30, 2016, its portfolio includes 4,726 properties (including timeshare properties) with 775,866 rooms in more than 100 countries and territories, [1]"
References
The proposed text and citation are rendered by the following markup:
The language "more than 100 countries" has been carried over from a previous edit request and its implementation in order to give the wording some longevity, in case the number of properties changes from 104.

On behalf of Hilton Worldwide, I'd like to request a correction and an addition to this article.
1. Currently, the article says: "It was announced in Q4 2015 that Hilton Worldwide Holdings would turn its hotel holdings into a real estate investment trust. Prior to making the announcement, the company went to the IRS for approval." The inline citation for these two sentences is this source.
However, this content is not quite right. Some outlets were reporting based on what they'd heard about the IRS request, but Hilton had not made any announcement yet. The company actually made the announcement in Q1 2016 when they reported Q4 2015 results.
Instead, could the text be altered to say "The company announced in February 2016 that Hilton Worldwide Holdings would turn its hotel holdings into a real estate investment trust. Prior to making the announcement, the company went to the IRS for approval."?

The first two changes are based on this source, which is the latest version of the fact sheet used to update these figures in the past. Here is formatted source information to make adding an inline citation easier:
1. In the introduction, I propose replacing the text "As of March 2017, its portfolio includes over 5,000 properties (including timeshare properties) with 812,341 rooms in 103 countries and territories" with "As of July 2017, its portfolio includes over 5,000 properties (including timeshare properties) with about 825,000 rooms in 103 countries and territories".

Hello! I am back with some additional requests to update this Wikipedia article on behalf of Hilton. This time, I am looking to improve the "History" section, which currently has a "This section needs additional citations for verification" banner. I am providing sources below, and my ultimate goal is to have this tag removed. I invite editors to help verify claims and possibly remove the tag, if and when appropriate. Below I've listed some unsourced claims and possible sources for consideration, which can be copied and pasted into the article's prose:
I'll stop for now so I don't make this edit request too complicated. I know the Hilton websites are not ideal sources, but figured primary sources are better than none at all. I've tried to include multiple options for consideration, when possible, in case editors have preferences for best sourcing. Thanks to all editors who have helped with past requests, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns for these proposed changes. Thank you! Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:57, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Feel free to adjust the prose's flow and wording, if needed. I just copied the claims exactly as they appear in the current version of the article, and my primary goal is to provide possible sources for unsourced sentences.

This article needs to be changed as it suggests than HHC is the largest hotel chain in the world when Hilton Group holds that. It is therefore important to declare that HHC is simply hotels in the US & Canada therefore many facts on this page should be moved to Hilton Group.
^^ This is no longer relevant has HHC has now bought over Hilton International and there is no longer a distinction between the two companies. Thus Hilton Hotel Corporation is the largest hotel chain in the world (owning over 2600 properties across the entire Hilton Family of hotels)
The entry has the sentence, "On October 14, 2005 Hilton Hotels Corporation approached the British-based Hilton Group (FTSE:HG) with a possible sale of Hilton Group's hotel's business with a possible figure of $6.3US."
This is unclear, is this $6.3US Billion?
Hilton becomes the first international hotel chain with the opening of the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
what date was this?
The article is also missing a large chunk of history where Hilton acquired Promus brands. This gave them a second corporate office in Memphis, TN (the former Promus headquarters, which is still in operation today and contains many vital functions of HHC including their entire secured data center) and it also gave them the following brands: Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, and Homewood Suites. The secondary corporate office in Memphis, TN hosts their franchise departments, provides support and vital functions for their franchised hotels, and deals with such primary corporate issues such as state taxes, sales, marketing, hotel IT support, in-house programming of proprietary applications, and Human Resources- just to name a few. The Memphis coporate office should not be ignored as it is a vital operational aspect of the company.
You may also want to include that the reservations offices are in Texas but the primary customer service department is also housed at the Memphis office.

On behalf of Hilton, I have another request: for corrections to the article's "History" section. Each of these requests can be verified here (click on tabs for specific decades), which is already used as an inline citation in the article. I propose the following four wording changes:
1. First, it seems unnecessary to mention Conrad Hilton's ambition in an article providing an overview of the company. Can the text be reduced to the following?
Before: Hilton was founded by Conrad Hilton in 1919 with the purchase of the 40-room Mobley Hotel in Cisco, Texas. Over the following several years, Conrad purchased more hotels in Texas. While business was strong, he had greater ambition.
After: In 1919, Conrad Hilton purchased his first hotel, the 40-room Mobley Hotel in Cisco, Texas, and bought additional Texas hotels as years passed.
2. The article currently says that Hilton opened the first high-rise building in Dallas, which is not accurate. Also, there are currently grammatical errors and this much detail is not necessary for a company overview. I propose the following correction / update:
Before: In 1925, Hilton opened the first high-rise building in Dallas, Texas. The Dallas Hilton would become the first hotel to carry the Hilton name on its building (though the building is now not operated by Hilton Worldwide). Uniquely because air conditioning was not yet invented, elevators, laundry chutes, and other non-guest facilities were placed on the west side of the building - so no guest would face the western sunset.
After: In 1925, the Dallas Hilton became the first hotel to use the Hilton name.
3. The article is currently wrong about the year of establishment. Also, it is probably not necessary to mention the Roosevelt Hotel's television sets. This seems more appropriate for the article about the property, and not a company overview. I proposed the following correction / update:
Before: In 1943, Hilton purchased the Roosevelt Hotel and the Plaza Hotel in New York. This would create the first coast-to-coast hospitality company in the America. Then in 1947, he created the Hilton Hotels Corporation, leading the new company to be publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In this same year, Hilton's Roosevelt Hotel would be the first ever in the world to offer television sets in all guest rooms.
After: In 1943, Hilton purchased the Roosevelt Hotel and the Plaza Hotel in New York, establishing the first hospitality company to span the contiguous United States. The company incorporated in 1946 as the Hilton Hotels Corporation, and subsequently began public trading of shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
4. Currently, the article reads as though Lady Hilton was a specific property, which is not true: it was a hotel concept that applied to various properties. I propose the following correction:
Before: In 1965, Hilton launched the Lady Hilton, the first hotel designed for women travelers. The hotel features women only floors and guest rooms, and had amenities only for women.
After: In 1965, Hilton launched Lady Hilton, the first hotel concept created specifically for women guests. To appeal to female travelers, a number of properties offered floors occupied by only women along with distinct amenities for their usage.

I'm here on behalf of Hilton Worldwide, as part of my work at Beutler Ink, to suggest some updates for this article. I'd like to start with a request for three updates to the article's infobox:
1. Update: "$8.0 billion (2013)" to "$11.27 billion (2015)" per this more recent source. (See page 43 or control+F "11,272" to verify.) I've supplied some wiki markup with a formatted reference for easy copying and pasting as an inline citation:

2. Update: "152,000 employees / 162,000 franchise employees (Dec 2013)" to "164,000 employees at managed, owned, leased and timeshare properties and corporate offices (Dec 2015)" per this more recent source. (See marked page 2 or Control+F "164,000" to verify.) This is the same source used above, so the reference can be named as used, or the following can be copied and pasted:

3. Hilton Worldwide also seeks to remove "Blackstone Group" as the designated parent company. Blackstone Group is a majority shareholder, but not a parent company.

Copied from User:Toohool's talk page:
On second thought, I believe it is still incorrect to include "Blackstone Group" in the infobox in any capacity. Since Hilton Worldwide is a publicly traded company, it is actually incorrect for anyone to be called an "owner" and the parameter guidelines for the infobox say (my bold): "Use this parameter to list ownership percentages for private companies owned by a few key individuals or to list ownership percentages for joint ventures, if applicable. Do not use this field for publicly traded companies. When listing a company as an owner, use the full legal name of the entity that holds the ownership stake in the article's subject company." Would you mind eliminating Blackstone Group from the infobox altogether?
@ Toohool and WhisperToMe: In case one of you has time to respond. Thanks! Inkian Jason ( talk) 17:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
@ Altamel: Since you've been so helpful, I was wondering if you had an opinion about removing Blackstone Group from the infobox given the above guideline. Inkian Jason ( talk) 15:23, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
I don't see any good reason to remove this from the infobox. The infobox is supposed to present a summary of important facts from the article in a standard format. For a reader who is looking in the infobox and expects to find information about the ownership of the company, this is the information they're looking for. Toohool ( talk) 17:08, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

![]() | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. See my comment below for my rationale. |
On behalf of Hilton Worldwide, I have some additional requests for this article. I've outlined 4 specific changes below, all related to the History section.
1. Currently, the article displays a box with the quote, "Our vision is to fill the earth with the light and warmth of hospitality, by being the first choice of hotel guests, team members, and owners alike." However, the inline citation, which links to the Hilton website, displays the following: "To be the preeminent global hospitality company - the first choice of guests, team members, and owners alike."
2. Can the following sentence be removed from the History section? "Conrad Hilton was featured on the cover of Time Magazine, the only hotelier at the time to have been so." This is about Conrad Hilton, and not the company itself. This fact is probably better suited for the Conrad Hilton article.
3. Can the following sentence be removed from the History section? "The 499-room Hilton Istanbul became so famous that it earned its own zip code and postal stamp." This seems appropriate for the
Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus article, but not an article providing a general overview of Hilton Worldwide.
4. Can the following sentences be removed from the History section? "Hilton became the first hospitality company in September of the same year to create the franchise concept. This allowed a hotel to operate under the Hilton name to utilize company systems and brand recognition, but would not be operated by Hilton Worldwide, instead by a private party." This content is unsourced.
Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:15, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
@ St170e: Thank you for your help thus far. Regarding #1: I would be find leaving the vision and mission statements, if both are appropriate for the Wikipedia article. Just including the mission statement would be fine if both vision and mission might seem too much. If both are kept, however, I don’t think they should be presented as a single quote by Conrad Hilton since this is not how the two statements appear on the Hilton website.

I am submitting another request on behalf of Hilton Worldwide as part of my work for Beutler Ink. This request proposes 2 changes to the article's lead.
Thanks again for your consideration. I am happy to address any questions or concerns reviewers may have about these proposed changes. Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:08, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Should this article's infobox include Blackstone Group in the "owner" parameter?
I submitted a request to remove Blackstone Group from the infobox (see the Request for updates to infobox section above, or more specifically, the Re: Blackstone Group subsection). Hilton Worldwide is a publicly traded company. According to infobox template documentation (bold emphasis mine), we should "Use [the owner] parameter to list ownership percentages for private companies owned by a few key individuals or to list ownership percentages for joint ventures, if applicable. Do not use this field for publicly traded companies. When listing a company as an owner, use the full legal name of the entity that holds the ownership stake in the article's subject company."
User:Toohool disagrees with the infobox documentation. User:Altamel does not feel strongly either way, but offered the following compromise: "perhaps Blackstone Group could be removed from the infobox while writing a sentence in the introduction about Blackstone's plurality ownership stake". I agreed to this compromise. User:Toohool did not accept the compromise, and User:Altamel closed the edit request saying there is no consensus for update the article accordingly.
I think template documentation supports my argument, but Blackstone Group remains in the infobox and I am not willing to edit the article myself given my conflict of interest (see multiple sections above). I would like for more editors to weigh in on this discussion. Thank you in advance. Inkian Jason ( talk) 19:55, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

These are brands of the Hilton Worldwide family. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be included. Hoteljargon ( talk) 18:51, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
I just want to direct readers to this conversation above for some additional context, where I argued: "Setting aside brand confusion, the Walford Astoria image includes a registered trademark and should probably only be used under fair use. Per Logos, "they are usually non-free images, and so their use must conform to the guidelines for non-free content and, specifically, the non-free content criteria", and "logos are often registered trademarks and so their use is restricted independently of copyright concerns"... There is no need to include logos for all of the brands in the Hilton portfolio, especially those with their own articles. Again, per Logos, "A logo may appear in the infobox of the main article on the subject the logo represents. For example, the main company logo may appear in the main article about the company, the main school logo in the main article about the school, and the main sports team logo in the main article about the sports team, but a school logo and a school sports team logo may not both appear in the same article (although they may appear in separate articles). Outside of these limits, neither non-free nor trademarked logos (see discussion) should be used within an article." I hope this helps to explain why the logos should not be included." Sorry for the redundancy here. I just wanted to make sure reviewers saw the above conversation. Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:41, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

On August 14, an anonymous editor updated the number of properties, rooms, and countries, but did not provide a source for this information. This information is correct, but there is one minor caveat worth noting (see parentheses below). On behalf of Hilton, I propose updating "As of June 30 2016, its portfolio includes 4,726 properties with 775,866 rooms in 104 countries & territories," with the following markup and inline citation: "As of June 30, 2016, its portfolio includes 4,726 properties (including timeshare properties) with 775,866 rooms in more than 100 countries and territories, [1]"
References
The proposed text and citation are rendered by the following markup:
The language "more than 100 countries" has been carried over from a previous edit request and its implementation in order to give the wording some longevity, in case the number of properties changes from 104.

On behalf of Hilton Worldwide, I'd like to request a correction and an addition to this article.
1. Currently, the article says: "It was announced in Q4 2015 that Hilton Worldwide Holdings would turn its hotel holdings into a real estate investment trust. Prior to making the announcement, the company went to the IRS for approval." The inline citation for these two sentences is this source.
However, this content is not quite right. Some outlets were reporting based on what they'd heard about the IRS request, but Hilton had not made any announcement yet. The company actually made the announcement in Q1 2016 when they reported Q4 2015 results.
Instead, could the text be altered to say "The company announced in February 2016 that Hilton Worldwide Holdings would turn its hotel holdings into a real estate investment trust. Prior to making the announcement, the company went to the IRS for approval."?

On behalf of Hilton, I am submitting another edit request to update this Wikipedia article. Each of the below changes are based on this source, which is the same one used to update these figures in the past. Here is formatted source information to make adding an inline citation easier:
1. In the infobox, I propose updating the number of locations to 4,922 Also, the company's URL can be displayed as simply:

2. Additionally, I propose replacing the text "As of October 2016, its portfolio includes 4,820 properties (including timeshare properties) with 788,864 rooms in more than 100 countries and territories" with "As of December 2016, its portfolio includes 4,922 properties (including timeshare properties) with 804,097 rooms in 104 countries and territories".

On behalf of Hilton, I am back with an additional request to update this Wikipedia article. This request has four parts, one of which is a simple content move request and another is to update a number in the Infobox:

I have additional requests to update this Wikipedia article, which I am submitting on behalf of Hilton.
I have 3 additional requests, but I'll place those in a separate edit request to make reviewing easier for volunteers. Expect another edit request soon, and in the meantime, I'm happy to address any concerns or questions about these requests. Thank you. Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:01, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

On behalf of Hilton, I am back to submit another edit request for this Wikipedia article.
The first two changes are based on this source, which is the latest version of the fact sheet used to update these figures in the past. Here is formatted source information to make adding an inline citation easier:
1. In the introduction, I propose replacing the text "As of March 2017, its portfolio includes over 5,000 properties (including timeshare properties) with 812,341 rooms in 103 countries and territories" with "As of July 2017, its portfolio includes over 5,000 properties (including timeshare properties) with about 825,000 rooms in 103 countries and territories". (Bold emphasis is mine to note specific text changes.)
2. In the "Hilton Honors" section:
3. Finally, I have a request regarding the final three sentences of the "21st century" section, which are currently duplicative. I propose replacing the following:
The company announced in February 2016 that Hilton would turn its hotel holdings into a real estate investment trust. Prior to making the announcement, the company went to the IRS for approval. In February 2016, Hilton announced its intention to spin off its timeshare and real estate businesses, creating three independent public companies.with In February 2016, Hilton announced its intention to spin off its timeshare and real estate businesses, creating three independent public companies. Prior to making the announcement, the company went to the IRS for approval. The current sourcing can be kept to support these details.
Per my previous requests, I am not making direct edits to this article because of my conflict of interest, but I hope a neutral editor can help by making these changes. I don't think these are particularly controversial, but I can address any concerns here or on my user talk page. Thank you for your consideration. Inkian Jason ( talk) 03:07, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I am back with some additional requests to update this Wikipedia article on behalf of Hilton. This time, I am looking to improve the "History" section, which currently has a "This section needs additional citations for verification" banner. I am providing sources below, and my ultimate goal is to have this tag removed. I invite editors to help verify claims and possibly remove the tag, if and when appropriate. Below I've listed some unsourced claims and possible sources for consideration, which can be copied and pasted into the article's prose:
I'll stop for now so I don't make this edit request too complicated. I know the Hilton websites are not ideal sources, but figured primary sources are better than none at all. I've tried to include multiple options for consideration, when possible, in case editors have preferences for best sourcing. Thanks to all editors who have helped with past requests, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns for these proposed changes. Thank you! Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:57, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Continuing from the above edit request, I am offering some additional sources for consideration, on behalf of Hilton:

Feel free to adjust the prose's flow and wording, if needed. I just copied the claims exactly as they appear in the current version of the article, and my primary goal is to provide possible sources for unsourced sentences. I realize a couple of these resources are not considered independent, but I am including so reviewing editors can verify the company's internal reporting, too. Thanks for your consideration.
