The linked article on web services does not remotely describe what Yahoo is or ever was. Yahoo is an online news, information and advertising platform. According to its press release boilerplate: "Yahoo serves as a trusted guide for hundreds of millions of people globally, helping them achieve their goals online / Yahoo Advertising offers omnichannel solutions and powerful data" 2601:642:4600:BE10:F868:3FAB:454B:AE16 (talk) 19:33, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What Shadow meant was that you should write (in this exact format): "Change [original text in article]to[new text] because [your reason]", and also providing reliable sources to back up your claims. I'm guessing you want a more detailed description of Yahoo in the lead section? If that's the case, please read WP:SUMMARY and MOS:LEAD. The lead section, especially the first sentence, should only briefly describe the defining characteristics of the subject. Liu1126 (talk) 22:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not asking for it to be more detailed. I'm asking for it to be minimally accurate. Secondary-source answers to "what is Yahoo's business?" are hard to come by because it's such a well-established brand as to require no introduction. Meanwhile, the current incorrect description has no source either. While Yahoo may indeed provide web services that companies use to purchase ad placements, describing its business that way is like describing Walmart as a logistics firm rather than a retailer. 2601:642:4600:BE10:F868:3FAB:454B:AE16 (talk) 23:11, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The point being made is that you are using Wikipeida's Edit Request procedure. (as necessary for an unconfirmed user and a semi-protected page) As such, your request MUST be in the form outlined above by Liu1126 - "Please change these exact words in the articletothese exact other words as supported by this specific reference." If it isn't, the procedure is to not act on your request. PianoDan (talk) 23:56, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, I am not required to use any specific form. I am only required to communicate the change clearly. I have indicated what wording should be changed, and to what it should be changed to. The opening sentence is fundamentally inaccurate as to what business Yahoo is in, and it is unhelpful to delay the point as if this were a court of law where exact forms must be followed. Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, etc. 2601:642:4600:BE10:4859:BD9C:88BC:D3ED (talk) 19:44, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: You are not required under threat of punitive action to follow the process as described in WP:EDITXY, but as mentioned by 2 other editors the process is then that any edit may decline your edit request - as I am doing now - as not actioned.
This is not a binding denial, in that your concern - that the linked article on web services does not remotely describe what Yahoo is or ever was - cannot be addressed . Any editor is free to address such concern. This "denial" simply means your request will be removed from the queue of requested edits. You may not add this request back into the queue unless you address concerns in the original denial or are requesting a different change. Such action may be interpreted as disruptive and may result in editors requesting administrator review.
This appears bureaucratic, and to a degree it is, but all this process does is place upon you the same burden of effort that would exist if you were able to edit the page yourself. —Sirdog(talk) 06:06, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done "Previously, the company discontinued China Yahoo! Mail..." sounded even less awkward to me, so I did it that way. PianoDan (talk) 00:18, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
