Hello, Wikipedia! It's Jessica. As an employee of JLL, I will only post to talk pages and refrain from making direct edits, in order to adhere to the rules of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines.
I noticed there was recently a tag placed on the article by User:虹易 suggesting that the content in this article reads like a press release. According to their user page, the editor that placed this tag is taking a hiatus from Wikipedia until October. I would like to work with editors here to make the article comply with Wikipedia's rules and have the tag removed, preferably sooner than October.
Since the bulk of the article is the History section, I've drafted an updated section in a narrative format with better sourcing (no press releases) and updated figures. Please see my draft below. User:TenPoundHammer, you have been really helpful here in the past. If you're interested, I would love for you to take a look at my draft below and offer any suggestions and/or implement my draft if you see fit.

Hello! It's Allison again with a new request on behalf of JLL. As I am a JLL employee, I have a financial conflict of interest and will only post to talk pages and refrain from making direct edits, to adhere to Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. In the last few months, JLL has received media coverage for several major developments and I have some additions to propose to the History and Operations. For this request I have 3 items:

Hello! It's Allison from JLL with another request on behalf of the company. As an employee of JLL, I have a financial conflict of interest and will use talk pages and not make direct edits, to follow Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Thanks so much to User:Ptrnext who has updated the infobox with the full year financials for 2023 and the employee number. I'd like to ask if editors could update the employee number in the Operations section, too?

Also, I've seen on some other pages that there is an "archive" for the Talk page to stop it getting too long. Is that something that can be set up for this page? It's very long to scroll down and the discussions go back to 2009.
Would someone be able to make this small update to the page and help with the Talk page archiving? Thank you! AHatJLL (talk) 16:45, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
