A marketing article

The "The Prometric Values Promise" section seems to be a marketing advertisement. And the "Controversy" section has been deleted recently. CapitanPrimate (talk) 16:44, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This article contains excessive promotional language. Balta katei 17:21, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to revise phrasing for neutrality

'''Subject: Request to revise phrasing for neutrality'''

Hello,

I would like to request a revision to the sentence “They were replaced with/by Pearson VUE” in the *Prometric* article. As currently written, this wording may unintentionally introduce brand favoritism or marketing language by highlighting a specific company name in a context where the detail may not be necessary for understanding the subject.

Under Wikipedia’s '''Neutral Point of View (NPOV)''' policy, article content should avoid language that could be interpreted as promotional or that gives undue weight to a particular commercial entity. Naming a specific replacement vendor without additional context or without citing reliable, secondary sources may give disproportionate prominence to that brand.

'''Proposed neutral revision:'''

Remove the current phrasing to be more general, non‑promotional* It is not necessary to share who won the contract.

'''COI Disclosure:''' I work for Prometric and therefore have a conflict of interest. I am not editing the article directly and am submitting this request for review by an uninvolved editor in accordance with Wikipedia’s COI guidelines.

Thank you for reviewing this request.

Move contract information from “Business” section to “Contracts” section

== Edit request: Move contract information from “Business” section to “Contracts” section == Hello editors, I would like to request a small organizational update to the Prometric article. COI disclosure: I work for Prometric, so I will not edit the page directly and am instead submitting this request for review by independent editors. Requested change In the Business section, the article currently includes the sentence: “In January 2023, Prometric renewed its partnership with CFA Institute for a multi‑year deal.” Because this statement refers to a contractual partnership, not general business operations, it would fit more appropriately under the Contracts section. Proposed action Please move this sentence from the Business section to the Contracts section without modifying the wording or citation. No other changes requested. Thank you for considering this request.
