Have they commissioned any handbooks or reference materials on the industry in the past? Do you develop a specific map of topics to improve or does it emerge out of other work you are doing for them? Do you do your own research or more communicate existing material that you have access to?

would much better help to change the maybe distorted view people have of your company. BTW, you tagged as POV the "Power and influence" and "Portugal controversy" chapters, but I really don't know why. The sources for the "Power and influence" chapter really look valid (if Thee
Washington Post is not considered valid, what source is ?). Maybe it's the wording which bothers you?

Hello, I must say that your proposal for Moody's is much better than the current article (which is not clear at all concerning how ratings are given and their meanings, and also omit a large part of the company history). However, I think that parts of the articles (for example, the "Role in capital

Hello
Hervegirod, thanks for your note and apologies for the slight delay. I appreciate your taking an interest in the edits I have made. As you can tell, I have been very careful to disclose my affiliation with Moody's, and you are correct that my intentions are only to make edits consistent with

Hello, I'm really looking forward to that, because as a lot of people, I myself don't know very well (or even not at all) how Moody's and these other agencies work. And as I said, I never saw I explained anywhere except as flamebait articles on newspapers. And I appreciate that you disclosed your

article is interesting, and I'd like to be able to help with improvement. Honestly, it's very confusing to anyone who would want to know more about credit agencies. The history of Moody's history plays a significant part in the development of modern credit rating agencies, so there will be some

Hi
Mysidae, I think you should really refrain from editing on Moody's like you are doing, even if you mean no harm, especially at that moment when Moody's and other rating companies are under scrutiny from the media. The subject is currently highly controversial, and even if you only mean good,

While my efforts recently have all been about fending off vandals, you raise a good point: I'm in a good position to offer a better explanation for how Moody's works, and that's actually what I would like to do soon. The warning templates were only meant to be a placeholder while I have been

developing an alternative version of this article, and I am very close to having it ready. Once it is, it's my goal to bring it to community review, and if you would be interested in helping with that process, I'd really appreciate it. Let me know, and thanks again for the note.

Hello, I will try to make a thorough review of your proposal before next week (hmm maybe more during the week-end, I'm really going home after work really late these days), of course to take with a grain of salt, because I am very far from being proficient in this matter.
123:. I can see your point about the warning templates, but you assume correctly: although supported by reliable sources, the material within is selective as to be misleading and in some cases erroneous, so I figured a warning is justified.

I am pleased with your commitment to quality coverage of your employer and your complete transparency. If more organizations had people like you working for them, Knowledge (XXG)'s corporate coverage would be much better.

There has been some debate recently on paid editors and COI; a couple of rival projects have started (which take somewhat opposing stances on paid editors). You might consider signing up or contributing to one of them..?

avoiding conflict of interest in your case is almost impossible to reach or to prove. By the way, I think that your knowledge of how Moody's and these rating agencies work could be much better used IMO in
