In order to correct numerous outdated facts and figures in the Wikipedia page about this company, I posted a request for substantial changes to the page five days ago.
Can you please give me an idea of how long it might take until those changes are made or rejected by a Wikipedia editor?
Thanks.

I have two questions:
1. I received comments from someone self-identifying as TheRedPenofDoom. Wikipedia says there is no user page with that name. How can I verify the accuracy of what this user has told me?
2. The user informed me that the Wikipedia pages about MSCI cannot be updated using information from the company's annual report, which is a primary source. In this case, it is a source material that has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. While I understand Wikipedia's preference for journalistic sources, a journalist could only obtain this particular information from the company's annual report or from the SEC filing. In this case, what is the objection to using a citation from the company's annual report?
Thank you.
