I have added a tree chart in the corporate affairs section. While the tree chart works, it the straight line doesn't fully connect the owners to the Business. Please check if there is any way to do it. Relevant articles:

I developed the operations and markets and clients sections, but it needs better sources (neutral, independent, non-promotional). Please also check if the wording respects Wikipedia criteria for neutrality:

• Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
• Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not

LIUCda24 (talk) 13:08, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Watch out for the source used in "Customized sustainable solutions", since it's a repetition of source number 37, and it is also doesn't totally fit what you say in the specific section, since it's on the collaboration between BIOPAP and the finnish company. I suggest you to see at source number 24: "Verso un futuro del packaging più consapevole".

I think that the wording overall respects Wikipedia criterias, could delete more detailed datas on trails' performance. Let me know what you think LIUCgu22 (talk) 22:03, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Inside of the page they write that they offer "Tailored Products for Food Service Sector. We specialize in customized solutions that meet the high demands of professional kitchens and food service operators", with it as the result of the cooperation. As i stated, there is need for better, more independent and non-promotional sources, but the case of those products being part of the operations section is strong.

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

References have a very specific formatting, and our draft doesn't respect all of them. Some useful links:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Shortened_footnotes
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:When_to_cite

Also, the company link may be used in the "See also" section but is to be avoided in the "References" section, to avoid promotional/non-neutral content.

LIUCda24 (talk)

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

Pages on companies have specific and well-documented challenges related to notability, neutrality and avoiding promotional/advertorial content. Some useful starting points include:

• Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)
• Wikipedia:Identifying blatant advertising
• Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not
• Wikipedia:Neutral point of view

This includes avoiding an over-reliance on information predominantly from company sources, including press releases, website, publicity and 'advertorial' content. 9 of the 10 references come from the company website and cannot be considered authorative, objective and neutral sources.

• see Help:Citing sources and Help:Referencing for beginners, particularly the format and required information for websites
• ref. 2: missing publisher appears to be Cartonspecialist srl; the publication date is on the document footer
• ref. 3 & 4 are duplicates. Yuu need to use the refname tag to create a reference that can be cited in the text multiple times but create only one reference for the source at the end. See the above help page and/or https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-create-a-named-reference-in-Wikipedia
• ref 3 & 4 are missing website citation details, including page title; the source is biased
• there is a format for referencing non-English sources, which needs to be used consistently in formats across all references
• use consistence formats for all references; remove the UPPER CASE in ref. 1: DATI DELLA SOCIETÀ - BIOPAP S.R.L. SOCIETA' BENEFIT

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• Check the guidelines on text formatting in the Manual for style. The text in bold is incorrect. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Text_formatting
• Use consistent syntax for the company name, not BIOPAP, Biopap, BIOPAP S.r.l.

• should location come after the lead section and before History? Look at practice on similar pages.
• the section Literature is unclear and whatever it is should come before See Also section.

Limelightangel (talk) 12:13, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

By looking at pages from similar companies, it appears that Location indeed comes after both the Lead and History section. LIUCda39 (talk) 13:33, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• The company appears potentially notable under Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), but additional independent coverage is needed to confirm this.
• Current references rely heavily on the company’s own website and affiliated organizations (e.g. Biopap.com, PEFC.it, The Optimist).
• To strengthen the article:
  • Add independent, secondary sources such as reports, press coverage, or business magazines that discuss BIOPAP’s activities or impact in detail.
  • Consider including coverage from trade publications (Il Sole 24 Ore, Mark Up, Packaging Europe, etc.) that mention the company as part of broader industry analysis.
  • Use fewer primary sources and ensure every factual statement is verifiable via reliable third-party references.

We have searched other small enterprises' wiki pages: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molteni%26C, https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassina_(azienda), YES. Snowboards. All these three pages use as the main sources the official company website, therefore the information in each website can be considered not neutral and promotional. However, there are some external website cited, which are not impartial (in the case of "YES. Snowboards), since are retailers of their products. Therefore we think that our sources are valid and similar to the ones used by other small enterprises like BIOPAP. LIUCgu22 (talk) 10:26, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• The structure is clear and consistent with Wikipedia’s standards for company articles.
• Suggested improvements:
  • Combine short sections like “Foodservice packaging” and “Ready-meal and industrial packaging” under a single Products and operations section.
  • Move the “Headquarters” and “Location” information to the infobox — it doesn’t need a separate section unless there is historical or architectural significance.

Greentree97 (talk) 17:21, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve moved the “location” information to the introduction.

Looking at other wikipedia pages, I noticed many put the location in the info box, or they don’t put the location’s information at all.

I will continue researching to find what’s the best placement, meanwhile, every suggestion is appreciated. LIUCGiu9 (talk) 12:26, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think we can have a section dedicated to the business' facility since of its design and sustainable project behind it. But this section might have a different name then "location".

If you searched from other businesses' pages where they put th location information I think we can follow what they do, so keep the address in the infobox, if we agree that is a useful information. LIUCgu22 (talk) 21:49, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• Overall tone is good, but there are some phrases that sound promotional or subjective.
• Examples to revise:
  • “State-of-the-art production facility” → a new production facility equipped with renewable energy systems.
  • “Combining profitability with social and environmental goals” → stated commitment to social and environmental objectives under Italian law.
• Keep the focus on verifiable facts, avoiding adjectives or claims that could appear as marketing language.

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• To improve citation style:
  • Use {{cite web}} or {{cite news}} templates for consistency.
  • Check for duplicate or redundant references (e.g. multiple identical Biopap.com URLs).
  • Replace PDF and corporate pages with published articles whenever possible.
  • Include publication dates and authors where available.
• For technical data (e.g. temperature ranges, compostability standards), ensure at least one source is independent or regulatory.

Greentree97 (talk) 17:21, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• The draft reads clearly but occasionally drifts into corporate-style phrasing.
• Suggestions:
  • Shorten sentences describing company goals and replace “mission” or “philosophy” wording with factual descriptions.
  • Avoid using first-person plural (“we”, “our”) when quoting company materials — paraphrase neutrally.
  • Verify that acronyms such as “MAP” and “BPI” are introduced with a brief explanation on first use.

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• While several sources confirm the company’s existence and certifications, notability still depends on independent coverage.
• Try to find:
  • Newspaper or trade magazine articles about BIOPAP’s market role, awards, or innovations.
  • Mentions by third-party institutions (e.g. sustainability indexes, industry rankings, or academic reports).
  • Evidence that BIOPAP has been cited as an example in packaging or circular economy studies.

Greentree97 (talk) 17:21, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• Add a brief introductory paragraph summarizing:

BIOPAP S.r.l. Società Benefit is an Italian manufacturer of biodegradable and compostable food packaging, founded in 2001 and based in Settimo Milanese.

• Include a “See also” section linking to related pages such as Biodegradable plastic, Compostable packaging, or Circular economy in the European Union.
• If freely available, include a company logo in the infobox (ensure it meets licensing requirements).
• Check all company-specific claims (revenue, export markets, certifications) for reliable external verification before submission.

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• I've found two new important informations but these are not relevant in any of the infobox's fields, they might be relevant in the introduction section or the "corporate affairs" one. Let me know where to insert them.

• Profit = € 123.066,00 (2024) / Share capital = € 196.690,00 (2025)

• The source of these informations is "Ufficio camerale" which is already a named reference.

LIUCri14 (talk) 11:05, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest you to search what other businesses' pages look like and see if they put these datas about profit and share capital, and where. My opinion is that they are really technical datas, so we have to evaluate together whether to use them or not, or may we create another section about the finance of the company? Anyway, the source of this data is definively valuable. LIUCgu22 (talk) 21:53, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCri14, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

I have noticed that there are some repetition of the same sources throughout the draft page that are not formatted correctly. Please notice any mistake, so we can re-organize the reference section. LIUCgu22 (talk) 18:00, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Corporate Affairs" there aren't any references to sources!!! LIUCgu22 (talk) 19:14, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the setup in the "Accademic collaborations" section, please check if new setting is okay. I think @LIUCda39 has worked on it the most. Thank you. LIUCgu22 (talk) 17:41, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. Is this written by artificial intelligence? If so, please disclose that on the article, as there is little to no sourced content on 90% of the sections, along with other telltale signs. Please see Artificial intelligence in Wikimedia projects for more information. GoodHamBurger (talk) 10:24, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for your feedback! We appreciate the time you put on reviewing the page.

The page is not written by artificial intelligence. We are relying our content on many sources, you can find almost 40 references in our page.

We are a group of italian students and english isn’t our native language, therefore AI it’s been used to correct sentences, even though they all have been written and reviewed by us.

I believe that we’re using many sources, do you think it’s not enough?

Any advice is welcome, so feel free to answer and give us your feedback. LIUCGiu9 (talk) 11:03, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

40 sources is pretty much enough. GoodHamBurger (talk) 13:25, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Usually chronological order means oldest to most recent, not viceversa. Please check other Wikipedia pages to make sure it's correctly formatted. LIUCda39 (talk) 10:07, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the annotation, I'll check. LIUCgu22 (talk) 17:43, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good draft, but some points here read like promotional content, which breaks Wikipedia:COI. I'd advise on changing it to be more neutral, specifically the awards and technologies section. Thanks. GoodHamBurger (talk) 11:09, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. We’ll work on it. LIUCGiu9 (talk) 13:13, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCGiu9, @LIUCri14, @LIUCmar22, @LIUCda39

I think that it is really hard to find all these data on the company. Especially if we want the data starting from the very first year of the company. I also think that this data without an interpretation, which we can't do, doesn't really give any interesting aspect of the company. LIUCgu22 (talk) 17:50, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A corporate affairs section is standard for company pages on Wikipedia, and interpretation of fiancial data isn't required nor seems to be the norm.

Examples:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BP

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTL_Group

Obviously, dimensions may vary based on available data. LIUCda39 (talk) 18:05, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you. I noticed from the links you attached that those companies have tables of the last 5 years, we could do so as well. However, I have searched where to find those data and found this: https://www.fatturatoitalia.it/biopap_srl_13365280158. The problem is that we have to pay to get this information on this specific website. So please let me know if you can find the data somewhere else. LIUCgu22 (talk) 17:48, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found a reputable source and have added the data from 2019 to 2024. LIUCda39 (talk) 20:20, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCda39@LIUCri14@LIUCmar22@LIUCGiu9 I have removed the last bullet point cause it was an award already cited, plus, the source was an interview of the owner of the company, which is an unreliable source. LIUCgu22 (talk) 18:22, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCgu22, LIUCGiu9, LIUCda39, LIUCri14, and LIUCmar22:

• despite a lot of work, fundamental repetitive issues with advertorial content/relevancy, biased sources and inappropriate sections/content may result in draft page rejection - see NPOV and above Talk
• poor eternal links section: promotional and already used as sources; something like https://db.iseki-food.net/node/2714 or similar is more neutral and relevant here.
• See Also's could be better e.g. List of companies of Italy, etc.
• biggest references issues are reliance on commercial and predominantly non-English sources
• consider removing promotional content and biased sources; it is far too like a company website or promotional page

Limelightangel (talk) 11:03, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIUCda39,@LIUCmar22,@LIUCGiu9,@LIUCgu22 I've added a new paragraph called '(x)' under the section sustainability. This paragraph contains information related to the topic which were added by someone else and that I don't know how to deal with. The first sentence (the one before the bullet point) was moved by me from the operation section. Do you have any suggestion on where to put these info?LIUCri14 (talk) 11:48, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it as it is already contained in the "certification" section. Please let me know if anyone disagrees with the decision. LIUCda39 (talk) 10:33, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

no I think it's alright thank you LIUCri14 (talk) 10:36, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
