Infobox and Intro Edit Request
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello! I would first like to disclose that I'm a Pitney Bowes employee. I'm aware that this means I can't make direct edits to this page and should, when in doubt, alert other editors to my conflict of interest. For more information on my relationship with Pitney Bowes, you can access my disclosure on my user page.
Now that we're clear about my COI, I would like to request some edits to this page, starting with the infobox:
- Replace Stanley Sutula III, who left Pitney Bowes in October 2020[1], with Ana Maria Chadwick (Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer)[2]
- Change the Products list to a Services list and include Shipping[3], Ecommerce Logistics[4], Mailing services[5], and Financial Services[6] in place of the current list
- Update the Number of employees figure to 11,000 (October 2021)[3]
- Update the Revenue figure to US$3.555 billion[7] for the 2020 financial year
I would also like to make a few minor changes to the page's introduction:
- Change the first sentence of the second paragraph to "Pitney Bowes provides global e-commerce, financial services, and mailing and shipping services[5][6] to approximately 750,000 businesses around the world, as of 2021.[8]"
- Replace the third paragraph, which has a lot of out of date information, with: "Pitney Bowes is based in Stamford, Connecticut and employed approximately 11,000 people worldwide, as of October 2021.[3]"
If any of these requests are unclear or unreasonable, please let me know and I'll try to improve them. Otherwise, I would deeply appreciate some help implementing these changes. Thanks so much! MTatPitneyBowes (talk) 19:19, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hello User:Atvelonis, I have an edit request above that you might be interested in, given that you helped with some edits to the Pitney Bowes page back in April of 2020. Not to impose, you're just the most recently active editor on this Talk page and I thought I would reach out. Thanks in advance for any feedback or assistance you can provide. Cheers!

- Hello, user:gobonobo and user:Trainsandotherthings, I'm reaching out to ask if you could help me with the above edit request. I saw that both of you are relatively new editors to the Connecticut WikiProject and thought you might have interest in improving the CT-based Pitney Bowes page. I have had some trouble finding editors to review my request, which I think is pretty straightforward, and would really appreciate any assistance you could provide. Thanks!

- Hi @MTatPitneyBowes:, saw your request at WikiProject Companies. These all seem fairly uncontroversial and mostly just well-sourced factual updates so I've made the requested changes:
Done, replaced Stanley Sutula III with Ana Maria Chadwick in infobox
Done, changed "Products" to "Services" in infobox inline with the sources provided
Done, updated number of employees in infobox
Done, updated revenue figure in infobox
Done, updated first sentence of second paragraph of lede
Done, updated third paragraph of lede
- Thank you for respecting the COI guidelines and providing appropriate sources.

- Thank you so much user:DatraxMada! Just FYI: I'll have more edit requests in the near future. I'm looking to update the page with relevant information about the company's history and its products. I would appreciate it if you helped out with those requests, but regardless, this is a great start. Take care and thanks again! MTatPitneyBowes (talk) 19:23, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

History Updates
[edit]![]() | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. |
Hello! As I mentioned above, I'm a Pitney Bowes employee and have a COI. I'm back with some updates to the History section. The History includes a lot of details that don't seem necessary or to offer significant information about the company's development over time. In particular there are a lot of mentions of the company's value, or revenue, number of employees or credit rating at various points. While some of these details may have offered some context to the business at the time, looking back over the entire history of the company they don't have as much significance. It also seems that some details are not organized chronologically, which is confusing.
I have created a draft that trims out these types of details, focusing on major milestones for the company and presenting them in chronological order.
To make it easy for editors to review the updates, I've listed the specific changes below and included my whole draft so that it can be easily copied across to the article, if it is approved. I’m curious if user:DatraxMada might want to take a look? Of course, happy to discuss these changes with others, too, if there’s interest! Many thanks again.

Leadership Request[edit]
Hello! As I've disclosed previously, I'm a Pitney Bowes employee and have a COI. I have a small update for the Leadership section. Leadership includes mention of Lila Synder, who was previously Pitney Bowes' EVP and president of commerce. She is now the CEO of Bose. Would someone be able to remove her from the section? Many thanks again. MTatPitneyBowes (talk) 15:27, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
Products and Services Update[edit]
Hello! As I've mentioned in my previous requests, I'm a Pitney Bowes employee and have a COI. I have some proposed updates to the Products and services section. At present this section is a mix of current and past services, and includes some details that seem more promotional or not notable, as well as one sentence that is only supported by a Pitney Bowes webpage. Based on a review of past discussions it seemed like editors wanted to keep historical details, so I thought the simplest way to approach this may be to separate the section into "Historical" and "Current", and trim out the few details that just aren't well sourced. Similar to the History, I have created a draft that organizes the products and services into two subsections for historical and current, rewrites historical into past tense, and brings the current up-to-date with appropriate sources. Again, to make it easier to review, I've listed the specific changes below and included the whole draft. The one change I did make compared to last time is to use a different way of showing the headings, since the draft heading made it hard to add comments or replies in the History request. User:DatraxMada or User:Chiro725 can either of you look at this request? Many thanks again. MTatPitneyBowes (talk) 14:13, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
Awards, Flags and Structure Request[edit]
Hello! As I've mentioned above, I'm a Pitney Bowes employee and have a COI. I have several proposed updates to propose: adding Awards and rankings, fixing buzzword flagged phrasing, and changing page structure slightly. To start with, the company has some awards that I'd like to ask about adding to the page, potentially as a new Awards and rankings section:
I would also like to ask for some edits to fix the phrases that have been flagged as "buzzword" in the Acquisitions and divestitures section. After looking into this, it seems that the word "solutions" is the issue, so here are the changes I suggest:
Last, as I was looking at the page, I have some organizational edits I'd like to make:
Happy to discuss these changes with editors, and I hope that someone will make any of these changes if they're approved. Would either Chirota or DatraxMada want to review this request? Many thanks again. MTatPitneyBowes (talk) 14:27, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
