Fair use rationale for Image:EGM 200.JPG
[edit]![](http://178.128.105.246/content-http-upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:EGM 200.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hyphens
[edit]There's a hatnote on the page claiming that the hyphen was always used in Ziff-Davis, yet it clearly no longer is. However, I couldn't find anything on the timing of the change. Anyone know?74.72.156.90 (talk) 21:40, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Edit requests for Ziff Davis article due to recent rebrand
[edit]![]() | An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes. |
Hello,
I’m Jeremy, part of the corporate communications team at Ziff Davis, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZD).
J2 Global, Inc. was renamed Ziff Davis, Inc. on Oct. 8 [see company announcement here; Wall Street Journal article here].
As a result, the Ziff Davis Wikipedia article page currently contains outdated information, so I’d like to begin contributing to the page to make it accurate in light of recent events.
Can you please check out the initial suggested corrections below and let me know if they can be made?
Please let me know if any further information is needed for this.
Thank you,
Jeremy
Proposed Corrections:
Infobox -- Updated logo:
Ziff Davis adopted a new logo as part of its Oct. 8 rebrand. Please find the current logo here. [Source: SEC 10-Q filing[1]]
Infobox -- Updated key people:
1) Remove Brian Stewart as he works within the Tech, Shopping and Entertainment division of Ziff Davis, Inc., not on Ziff Davis, Inc.’s executive leadership team.
2) Remove James Yaffe as he no longer works at Ziff Davis.

- Hi Jeremy, for the updated logo, you can go ahead and upload that (per Wikipedia:Logos#Copyright_concerns it should not be under copyright because it is a text-only logo), and then add it to the article. For help uploading that, see Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard. For #2, I will remove those names. SpencerT•C 16:49, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello,
It’s Jeremy from Ziff Davis. We have a minor edit request to fix a typo in the Infobox for the revenue figure; see below.
Infobox:
Propose fixing the revenue figure typo from “million” to “billion” to read US $1.380 billion (2021) [Source: SEC 8K filing[1], page 5]
Thank you,
Jeremy
@Spencer: Thank you!

Done It previously read 1,380 million (with a comma), but figured 1.38 billion is a little clearer. SpencerT•C 16:54, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
Request minor edit to Ziff Davis’ description in the Lead Section
[edit]![]() | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. |
Hello,
It’s Jeremy from Ziff Davis. We have a minor clarification we’d like to request for the first sentence of the Lead Section, detailed below.
Lead Section:
Propose omitting “holding,” since Ziff Davis is a full, not partial, owner of its businesses, and adding the NASDAQ descriptor before the stock symbol so the first sentence reads: “Ziff Davis, Inc., known as Ziff Davis (NASDAQ: ZD), is an American internet and digital media company.”
Thank you,
Jeremy
@Spencer: Thank you for making this edit --- yes, agree with your suggestion on removing "(ZD)" from the Lead Section. Appreciate the feedback.

References
- Hi Jeremy, sounds good to remove holding, and I will go ahead and make that change. Does the opening sentence even need the "(ZD)"? It's not an abbreviation used elsewhere in the article. I don't think it's typical to have the NASDAQ abbreviation in the opening sentence (but I may be wrong-- please link to other example articles if that's something you've seen), and it's on the second line of the infobox so it's still pretty prominent.

Request edit to Number of employees - Infobox
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello,
I’m reaching out from Ziff Davis. We have an edit request to the number of employees in the Infobox; see below.
Infobox:
Change number of employees figure from 1,200 to 4,700. [Source: Yahoo! Finance]
Thank you,
Jeremy
Hi Spencer --- we don't have this figure referenced in a news article on the company; however, it is referenced in the company's most recent 10K Report[1]. Can we use this as the figure's source?
Hi Spencer --- I'm just following up on using the 10K SEC filing to source the figure. Thank you - Jeremy

- JeremyJonesZiffDavis Do you have a different source besides the provided link? A business profile on Yahoo Finance generally is an auto-generated and/or self-published database (similar to those on Bloomberg, Google, Hoover's, etc.), rather than a truly independent secondary source (e.g. a news article on Yahoo Finance). Additionally, when formatting references in requests, it makes it easier for reviewers to implement the edit when you use templates (such as Template:Cite_news#Usage). SpencerT•C 20:43, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Marking as declined pending further information/sourcing; please update the template (remove the "|D") if there is additional information for review. SpencerT•C 05:51, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest edit request: Ziff Davis Lead Section
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi,
I’m reaching out from Ziff Davis. We have a purposed edit request to the last line of the lead section to reflect recent company division changes and to better reflect the makeup of the business. Please see below:
Lead section purposed edit:
Ziff Davis, Inc. is an American digital media and internet company. First founded in 1927 by William Bernard Ziff Sr. and Bernard George Davis, the company primarily owns technology- and health-oriented media websites, online shopping-related services, internet connectivity services, gaming and entertainment brands, and cybersecurity and martech tools.[1] [2] [3]

- Hi JeremyJonesZiffDavis, do you have any alternative sources besides the Form 10-K (which I presume is self-prepared by Ziff Davis, not a neutral, reliable third party source?). Additionally, I would recommend using the template {{cite news}} inside of your reference to include additional reference information such as author, title of article, date of publication, etc. Lastly, what specifically is meant by "connectivity services". Does this refer to internet connectivity or something else? A wikilink to another article (possible ideas can be found at the disambiguation page Connectivity or Connection) would be useful. I have marked this as addressed for now, but remove the "|A" to reopen the request. Best, SpencerT•C 18:21, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
