Talk:Perot Systems
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Of all business-related things to have on this page, the author chose to cite their Diversity ranking? Why not something as equally unrelated such as the percentage of coffee drinkers by division? - 141.123.100.70, 23 September 2005
- Because coffee-drinking is not a significant part of corporate culture. Diversity and, for better or worse, having or not domestic partnership benefits is.--Dali-Llama 15:06, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- The fact that this company has the lowest equality index score according to the Human Rights Campaign is notable. Apparently the information was removed, so I will readd it. Theshibboleth 21:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV
This article reads as if it were written by the public relations dept at Perot Systems. It needs to be more balanced. --rogerd 03:02, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Case style for URL
This comment was originally left at User talk:Justen:
- Hi Justen, I was wondering why you downcased PerotSystems.com in the company infobox? Personally I think the camel case domain name is somewhat more readable, and just as valid as the lower case version. MarkBrooks 04:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

- Hey Mark. I tried to find out if there was a standard for URL case. I always figured the standard was to use lowercase, but there, in fact, is no Wikipedia style standard. The very consensus I seemed to get over at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#Style for URL case seemed to agree with you that camel case is the best. I noticed you just updated the article to restore the URL to camel case, so that seems great. I'll keep trying to get Wikipedia to settle on a standard. Thanks for bringing it up!

- Actually I had just updated the infobox and hadn't changed the URL style (I have now); I was waiting to get some kind of consensus. I would guess that company infoboxes are one of the few places where URLs occur in the presentation (as opposed to in links). MarkBrooks 14:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History Section Vandalism?
I am not understanding the portions under the History section that read 'dirty, dirty prostitute places' and 'Tenemos 400 cabezas y colas de caballo'.
Looks like vandalism to me, but I am not going to touch anything.

[edit] Non-neutral Perspective, Removing Sentence
The sentence "Although Perot Systems is a government contractor, as of January 2008, the company does not have a diversity or inclusion program." suggests that all government contractors are required to have diversity or inclusion programs, which is not true. This sentence seems to serve no purpose other than to attempt to cast a negative light on the company, so I am removing it. I will remove it again if it is added back unless someone can provide a reasonable explanation of its neutrality. Blendenzo 2:08, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
