Campaign for Justice website
editThe recently added link to the Campaign for Justice website is not relevant to the article. An agreement was reached in 2010 with the UWUA - http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/covanta-semass-and-local-369-of-the-uwua-announce-ratification-of-a-collective-bargaining-agreement-and-settlement-of-outstanding-disputes-91928219.html
The link should at least be explained if not deleted. Thank you.

Incinerators or "energy-to-waste"
edit"Energy-to-waste" seems to be a euphemism for "incinerators" and therefore I'll add in word "incinerators"--Bruce Hall (talk) 04:54, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- Indeed. I notice their official company profile also mentions "incinerators", but anyway we need to use understandable terms and not just company jargon. --Nemo 04:29, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Emission standards
editThe article has some financial data and some stories about emission problems, but no data on emissions. Isn't there an official source for emission data (or other technical standards) of USA incinerators? It would be useful to get a sense of what kind of plants the company runs. --Nemo 04:29, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Proposed rewrite
editI am the Communications Manager at Covanta. I would like to share a proposed rewrite of the current page, so that independent, impartial editors have an opportunity to review the draft and provide any feedback in accordance with best practices.
The current pages has very little encyclopedic information about our history and focuses almost exclusively on a one-sided description of the debate around environmental issues. While I am not the best person to improve the page due to my conflict of interest, I believe the draft represents a vastly superior page that is more well-rounded, complete, and summarizes competing views.
Hopefully the draft will be a launching point to a more encyclopedic page that will continue to improve with the help of disinterested editors. Pinging @Guy Macon: who I saw listed on WikiProject Cooperation as someone interested in engineering articles. NKR2009 (talk) 18:22, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- I will try to take a look at it this evening.
- In the meantime, could you please double check your citations? I took a quick look and noticed that the citation after "The press release also stated that the DEEP consulted with the Connecticut Department of Public Health and verified that despite the violation, the amount of emissions in the air in the vicinity of the facility was still within applicable health-based standards and did not pose a threat to public health." leads to a p[age that says "The requested article is no longer published." --Guy Macon (talk) 19:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @Guy Macon:. Thanks for offering to take a look! I think you’ll find the proposed draft is much better cited than the current page. To clarify, the poorly-cited sentence you are referring to is from the current page, not the draft I shared. My understanding is that press releases generally aren’t allowed as references anyway. NKR2009 (talk) 21:09, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oops! put them side by side and got confused as to which was which. (Note to self: next time, smoke crack after editing Wikipedia...) --Guy Macon (talk) 22:10, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Covanta Energy → Covanta Holding Corporation – This is the name they use on their official website. Guy Macon (talk) 23:16, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

- @Guy Macon: Most of the website just uses "Covanta", which seems to be the WP:COMMONNAME elsewhere on the web as well (excluding stock-market-specific news sources, which I eliminate by searching "covanta -cva"). --Ahecht (TALK

Except that it conflicts with:Coventa Inc information technology & services: coventa.caCoventa refuse services in Pittsfield, MACoventa real estate in Belgium: www.coventa.beCoventa financial advisory and management services in SwitzerlandThe song Coventa [1]Normally I would be OK with naming it Coventa and creating a disambiguation page for the others, but none of the above have Wikipedia pages. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:29, 15April 2020 (UTC)- Is "Coventa" really so similar to "Covanta"? Nemo 10:32, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Well, this is embarrassing. When I first posted the rename request I searched for Coventa, not realizing I had spelled it incorrectly, and decided to add "Holding Corporation" in case one of the others became notable. Then I made the same spelling error when I replied above. :( "Covanta" is fine. Nobody else seems to be using that word. (Note to self: next time, smoke crack AFTER editing Wikipedia...) --Guy Macon (talk) 12:52, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, ok. That's fine! :) Nemo 15:56, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Also, I think the Coventa you found in Pittsfield is just a misspelling of this company. Covanta Holding Corporation (which makes energy from refuse) does run a garbage incineration plant in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. --Ahecht (TALK

Covanta → Reworld – Covanta was renamed to Reworld back in April. Since then, most people have been using the new name. This is not a controversial move, but I'm using this tool to request a move on account of my COI - I work for the article-subject. I'd also like to suggest a redirect from Covanta to the new Reworld title, replacing "Covanta" with "Reworld" throughout, and adding a "(previously known as Covanta)" at the beginning. NKR2009 (talk) 16:06, 10 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 23:20, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: the current title was changed to the correct article title from the redirect, Covanta Holding Corporation, because redirects are ineligible to be current titles in move requests. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 20:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment, the nom's argument is WP:OFFICIALNAMES which isn't policy based. However, these sources [2][3][4] do use the new name so can justify WP:NAMECHANGES. But there is a Reworld Media article (and an Eco group), so is this a clear primary topic? If not, would Reworld (waste management) or Reworld (waste company) be considered? or at least in the future. Although this company probably would have more English-language coverage over the French media company, so overall weak support after finding evidence of WP:NAMECHANGES.

- Closing comment: The !vote from DankJae although described as weak support is policy based, and unopposed. Andrewa (talk) 05:52, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi @DankJae:. I see that you updated some of the references to "Covanta" to the new name "Reworld". I went ahead and corrected this in a few more places where the page was referring to the current Reworld company and not a historical time, such as when it was called Ogden. Let me know if I should revert any of those edits or if you have a different opinion on when it should say "Covanta" versus "Reworld".
Also, the Lead says "formerly Covanta (former legal name; Covanta Holding Corporation)", whereas I think just "formerly Covanta" is sufficient. Let me know what you think. NKR2009 (talk) 18:28, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- @NKR2009 Be free to reword the body as you see fit, just did some post-move clean-up. In terms of the lead, the previous lead had the legal name, I don't know the new legal name (is it "Reworld Waste [company type]"?), so just kept the old legal name. I assume the new one is needed, and likely per MOS:FIRSTCORP. Be free to move the old legal name somewhere else. DankJae 19:42, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
