Pressurizing -> pressuring typo fix

Under Controversies, "Pressurizing media to promote skin whiteners" should be "Pressuring media to promote skin whiteners", I believe. There's nothing in the English citation that talk about pressurizing, but they do talk about pressuring. -- Awillisson ( talk) 21:43, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

To editor Awillisson:  done, and thank you very much! P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 22:39, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

missing word

In the first paragraph: "It is one of the multinational companies..." there is some adjective missing. I assume the author wanted to say: "It is one of the largest multinational companies..." Dojcubic, 28 December 2020 — Preceding undated comment added 12:07, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

I have resolved this. Verbcatcher ( talk) 20:07, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Unification

The legal unification of the company was completed on 30 November 2020 and the company is now headquartered in London. An IP keeps changing it back to London and Rotterdam. If the IP has evidence that the unification has not happened they should engage here: otherwise such changes could be deemed to be edit warring. Dormskirk ( talk) 17:13, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

I see there has been more edit warring which involves removing the citation about unification. As previously stated, if any editor has evidence that unification did not take place, then this is the proper place to discuss it. Dormskirk ( talk) 14:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
I have requested page protection because there is constant edit warring by IPs who fail to engage here. Dormskirk ( talk) 16:08, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Inaccuracies

Hi there,

This section requires major updates. I've tried to make edits twice but they keep getting rejected - a lot of the information in inacurate. What should I do?

Hi - The information you added was not properly sourced as required by WP:V, WP:CITE and WP:RS. Also some of the material you added was copied from the company website rather than independently sourced. But first of all, please confirm that you are not an employee of the company or any of its marketing agencies. If you are connected with the company in any way you should read WP:COI. Thank you.

Hi Dormskirk,

Have just messaged you on your page regarding this.

I do work for the company but have looked at the COI page which does not preclude employees from making changes, it is just discouraged.

I wanted to correct some inaccuracies - for example, Unilever does not sell a lot of the products listed in the first paragraph including pregnancy tests and chewing gum for an example. And the 13 brands with sales of one billion does not include brands such as Marmite and Surf but the page suggests they do.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, Charlotte

I suggest you wait a few days and then, if there are no objections, as the changes do sound relatively minor, I would have no objection to you implementing them. (You should however not make any changes other than those that you have proposed.) Best wishes. Dormskirk ( talk) 14:38, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much for getting back to me Dormskirk. Understood that I should only make the suggested changes above when I'm able to, do you know where this will be? It looks like there is a block on the page at the moment, when will that be lifted? Thanks again! -- Dxter10 ( talk) 14:03, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

I have removed the tag. Please free to go ahead with the limited changes you have specified. Best wishes. Dormskirk ( talk) 14:28, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I think the page is still semi-protected as I'm unable to make adjustments to the top section of the article. There is no option for me to edit source only from History can I edit. Sorry if I'm being silly. Thanks! -- Dxter10 ( talk) 14:36, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Ignore me! I was looking in the wrong place! -- Dxter10 ( talk) 14:37, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Dormskirk. Thanks again for your help. I have made the suggested corrections and updated the turnover as what was reference was 2017 so quite out of date. Just one question, the box on the right hand side with all the key/summery info is still showing a lot of the brands that we do not own, how can I go about updating this? Thanks! -- Dxter10 ( talk) 12:39, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi - The infobox is linked to the article List of Unilever brands. I agree that the list(s) in that article look as if they could do with some further updating. I suggest that you post a suggested revised list (with proposed citations) on the talk page for that article and it can then be considered for inclusion in that article. Best wishes.

"Sunshine" owned by Unilever

This article claims that Sunshine is owned by Unilever, but the link goes to the article on light produced by the Sun. Should this link be moved to an actual project, or removed entirely?

I have delinked "Sunlight" which I assume is what you were referring to. Dormskirk ( talk) 00:18, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
