I have altered the way a number of statements were made in the article to remove point of view and promotional tone. I believe all content is now stated in a strictly factual manner and have thus removed the advert heading. However, I am open to further suggestions -- particularly ones which illuminate specific issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibowmanhenderson (talk • Ibowmanhenderson (talk) 15:04, 23 January 2014 (UTC)contribs) 15:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add the tag, but I agree with it being there. The article reads like it was written by a company PR person promoting the history of the company. It is a list of products and successes, with no criticisms, balance, or anything else that is not all positive and glowing. It actually looks like what you typically find on a company website under "Company history". We usually have to considerably rework these sorts of things to make them encyclopedic. I was waiting until you were finished to see what needs to be done to make it more balanced.

Also given that your entire editing history is about this one company, you may want to have a read through WP:COI. - Ahunt (talk) 15:41, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with Ahunt, as those were precisely my reasons for adding the advert tag. I felt the information was useful enough to the article, so I did not just remove the information outright. I think the recent recording and changes are a step in the right direction. - BilCat (talk) 16:22, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there is also a Hartzell Fan and Floor company, same city, almost identical logo, but do not mention a thing about the aircraft company. I suspect to avoid liability the divisions split. See http://www.hartzell.com Flightsoffancy (talk) 23:51, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This sort of explains. It sounds like the propeller company was spun off in the early 20th century time frame. - Ahunt (talk) 00:03, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
