Proposed change

Hi, full disclosure: I am an employee of ACWA Power working in the Marketing and Communications team. I would like to make some changes to the article in good faith, in order to make sure the information is accurate and up-to-date. Please review my changes below -- all the information has been sourced to independent third parties, apart from one line on employee numbers which comes from a document from ACWA Power posted on the Saudi Exchange website. All feedback on my proposed edits is very welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MferrariACWA (talk • contribs) 07:11, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Reason for change: Existing information is outdated and contradicts information in other sections of the article.

@MferrariACWA: I'd like to help, but don't see any sources for the updated information you're requesting to have added. There's a list of sources, but they appear to be from the older content. Can you add proper inline citations for the new information? STEMinfo (talk) 00:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@STEMinfo: Thank you. It seems I can't add inline citations to this template so I have added them below each section. Please let me know if this helps. MferrariACWA (talk) 13:27, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unable to review
Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly.

The citation style predominantly used by the ACWA Power article appears to be Citation Style 1. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.^[a] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.)
Citation ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.)

In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.

Request edit examples

INCORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.

https://www.booksource.com
https://www.journalsource.com
https://www.websource.com

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the ACWA Power article. Additionally, ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

CORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=1}}</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Harinath|first1=Prisha|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2020|page=46}}</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=2}}</ref>

Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,^[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.^[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.^[3]

References

^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2020, p. 1.

^ Harinath, Prisha. "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46. 2020.

^ Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2020, p. 2.

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the ref tags are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly write your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to submit that edit request below this reply post at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards, Spintendo 17:59, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input @Spintendo. The ref tags are not showing up when using TextDiff:

Is there a better way to format the edit request to make it clear which sections need to be replaced? MferrariACWA (talk) 08:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

^ The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.

Reformatted edit request

The user below has a request that an edit be made to ACWA Power. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very low. There are currently 45 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

1

Please remove: "ACWA Power is a developer, investor, co-owner and operator of a portfolio of power generation and desalinated water production plants currently with presence in 10 countries including in the Middle East and North Africa, Southern Africa and South East Asia regions.

And replace with: "ACWA Power is a developer, investor, co-owner and operator of a portfolio of power generation and desalinated water production plants with a presence in 12 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Central and South-East Asia. ACWA Power’s portfolio of projects in operation and development has an investment value in excess of USD 74.8 billion, and a capacity of more than 50 GW of power and 6.8 million m3/day of desalinated water.^[3]"

2

And replace with: Its energy portfolio includes efficient combined cycle power plants^[4], solar (photovoltaic [PV] and concentrated solar power [CSP])^[5], wind^[6], desalination plants^[7], and green hydrogen projects^[8].

ACWA Power has expressed an intention to increase its investment in renewables:[9] of the new bids and projects still in the financing stage announced in 2014 US$7.4 billion of US$15 billion were in renewable energy.[3]

And replace with this: Headquartered in Saudi Arabia, ACWA Power maintains regional offices in Dubai, Istanbul, Cairo, Rabat, Johannesburg, Hanoi and Beijing. It invests in, develops, co-owns and operates a portfolio of 77 projects with the capacity to generate 50.4 GW of power and produce 6.8 million m3/day of desalinated water^[9]. ACWA Power and its subsidiary operating companies employ over 4,000 people in projects in 12 different countries^[10]. ACWA Power is aiming to increase the share of renewable energy in its portfolio to 50 percent by 2030. As of 2023, 46% of the company’s energy portfolio was in renewables^[11].

Reason for change: Information is outdated.
