Why do we need a complete list of IPs controlled by this company?[edit]

Is this even notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.54.216.148 ([[User talk:47.54.216.148#top|talk]]) 05:12, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested Addition[edit]

Disclosure: My name is Chris and I am the Director of Marketing for Private Internet Access. There are some factual inaccuracies on this page, and I was hoping they could be corrected.

Under "Company" it has a list of notable features. Would it be possible to add "MACE™ Ad Blocker" to that list? We feel it's important, because it adds a whole new layer of functionality that isn't addressed anywhere else on the page.

Requested Corrections[edit]

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

Disclosure: My name is Chris and I am the Director of Marketing for Private Internet Access. There are some factual inaccuracies on this page, and I was hoping they could be corrected.

In the main text it says "Another founder is Andrew Lee." He is actually the only founder, so please change that to "Founded by Andrew Lee."

In the sidebar, next to operating system, can you please add "Google Chrome Extension" Reference: Reference: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/

In the Server Locations section, the number of regions and countries is incorrect, and the list of countries is missing several. Using the same format, that whole section should read:

Private Internet Access servers operate VPN gateways in 44 regions across 29 countries.

As of June 14th, 2017, Private Internet access servers were located in the countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK, US.

This reads like a review[edit]

This article has a lot of repeated subjective statements and an unprofessional writing style. Katacarbix (talk) 07:43, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the statements were added in bad faith, since this article was expanded as part of a school assignment (see #Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment). But, the new text does read as promotional. I'll start by removing the promotional parts that only cite the company's website and toning down the excessive praise. — Newslinger talk 02:12, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done for now. The prose could still be improved, but these changes were enough for me to remove the {{advert}} and {{primary sources}} tags. — Newslinger talk 02:56, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
