I just edited the lead to reflect the naming history of this company as I've been able to ascertain it. Much of the previous lead appeared to lean on the Constellis company's official site 'About us' section[1], which on its own is a little problematic (seeWP:PRIMARY). But the real problem I found with that is that site claims (both) that Constellis was formed in 2010, but that "Constellis Group, Inc." was first established in 2011 (as a holding company that included Triple Canopy). In addition, I was unable to find ANY mention of Constellis in ANY news sources prior to 2014[2]. Taken together, that seriously discounts the reliability of the website. So I've added what I can from other reliable sources.PhotogenicScientist (talk)15:18, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for trying to fix this mess, although it's still a mess. The infobox… the title is "Blackwater (company)" but then the infobox refers to Constellis. The former is, as the infobox says, defunct since 2014. The latter isn't, but it also isn't (supposed to be) the topic of this article.
A mess.
What there should be is two articles, one talking about Blackwater (and maybe Xe/Academi) and one about Constellis. This mixing of articles is just a recipe for a messy disaster, but unfortunately, it's what Wikipedia (the "majority" of editors (the majority of the people with power)) seems to prefer.jae (talk)02:35, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
