Is there a template that says this is one of the worst articles on WP? GenslerOnCities was probably correct in not editing due to COI, but the below article is much better than what is there, and perhaps some material from the existing article could be merged into it. Perhaps I'll do it when I'm back from vacation. OOPS as of September 10: I should have looked at the history before I wrote this; one undo would have fixed the article. Very un-WP. Perhaps I'll look into merging some from the below later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.19.247.131 ( talk) 19:02, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

My name is Leah and I work for Gensler. I recognize that since I work for Gensler I have a clear conflict of interest and will utilize the talk pages to discuss comments regarding the article.
I have created a new proposed article about Gensler that is updated and meets quality and sourcing standards compared to the current article. There are too many edits for this page to ask an editor to painstakingly change them one by one. As such, I am suggesting an entirely new article.
Additionally, I’m deleting the last set of recommended changes to the talk page that was made by a Gensler account back in 2010 (GenslerOnCities). These are outdated and did not follow Wikipedia’s rules. Leaving them up in the talk page may be confusing based on this new round of suggested edits.
My intent is not to transform this article into a glowing review of Gensler. Rather, I would like to make sure it is up to date and reflects general consensus.
Hi, it’s Leah again from Gensler. Since I haven’t heard any feedback on this (either supportive or constructive) I just wanted to come back to the talk pages to state that I plan on making the edits directly to the page that I suggested. I’ll wait another week or two for feedback or thoughts, but will then go in and post the updated edits maintaining transparency and acknowledgment that I have a clear conflict of interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeahR11 ( talk • contribs) 21:42, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
- I think you will have better luck suggesting single sentences or paragrpahs you think should be removed from or changed in the current version and suggesting additional sentences/paragraphs you think should be included (with third-party RSs) rather than proposing entire article replacements here.

An IP has repeatedly inserted a link to the Gensler blog in the external links section. WP:ELOFFICIAL indicates that secondary official website should be listed "only when the additional links provide the reader with unique content and are not prominently linked from other official websites. For example, if the main page of the official website for an author contains a link to the author's blog and Twitter feed, then it is not appropriate to provide links to all three." I think this blog linked, prominently linked from the main Genlser website (along with other Genselr social media links), fits within this ELOFFICIAL prohibition. I will remove it, again.

My name is Leah and I work for Gensler. I noticed there were a few errors on this page. I realize I have a clear conflict of interest so I wanted to flag for the community first before I make any transparent edits.
The article should read that in 2012, Gensler generated the most revenue of any architecture firm based in the US for the second year in a row ( Top 300 Architecture Firms, Architectural Record, July 2013) [1]and that as of 2013, it operates offices in 43 cities in 14 countries worldwide. These are minor edits, but worth noting since they are currently incorrect ( Gensler’s Secret Sauce, Metropolis Magazine, June 2013) [2].
Additionally, under the staff section the article should read that as of 2013, Gensler employs more than 3,500 people ( Gensler’s Secret Sauce, Metropolis Magazine, June 2013) [3].
Finally, I made some simple edits to the “Notable Gensler Buildings” section with a few more entries and also inserted some updated photos – all cited – to make things more up to date. These are fairly straightforward so did them myself, but please review since I have a conflict of interest here.

- What I think should be changed:
Add "and 2022 [1]." to this line:
Gensler's “Impact Through Design” report, launched in 2016, explores strategies for architecture and design to play a greater role in global climate change strategy and mitigation,[32] reinforcing this commitment to sustainability with the firm's subsequent “Impact by Design” reports in 2017,[32] 2018,[33] 2019, 2020,[34] 2021.
And also add the following sentences at the end of the same section:
In 2023, Gensler announced the launch of the Gensler Product Sustainability (GPS) Standards v1.0. Starting in January 2024, the standards will be required for all Gensler projects in the U.S., Canada, and Europe [2]. At COP28, Gensler partnered with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to jointly expand low-carbon building certification and access to green finance [3].
- Why it should be changed:
The 2022 Impact by Design report is available. Added Gensler Product Sustainability standard initiative, as well as IFC green finance partnership.
