[edit] Translation
French and German pages are quite poor. Looks like more of the English material could be usefully translated.
NPOV: Article an Example of Company Editing its Own Page
This page has clearly been edited and modified by current Arthur D. Little employees. It makes no mention of the bankruptcy and subsequent breakup, greatly overstates the position of the oil and gas group, and uses loaded language in describing some practices as "thriving".
Unless one of the current editors is prepared to put the article into NPOV form, I'll take a go at editing it myself. Cyoung66 09:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Cyoung makes an important point about the bankruptcy of ADL and its demise. While I wish the company that now calls itself (with reason, since it bought the name) ADL all success. The company founded by Dr. Little that established the reputation of ADL ceased to exist in 2002. The new ADL is not a continuation of that entity, but rather an entirely new enterprise.
Charles Koch is listed as an ADL alumnus who became a success in business. His web bio makes no mention of this connection and notes that he received his 2nd MS from MIT in 1960 and joined his father's firm, soon to become Koch Industries, in 1961. Charles La Mantia, President of ADL in the 1990s did work at one time for Koch Industries. Could their be some confusion here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hermanpeter (talk • contribs) 04:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
