Reversion of the Infobox[edit]

The "Cornish Crow Bar"(often comes with crushed nuts)

A Bold edit was made to crowbar in an infobox; I've Reverted, and now, although it's not my place to do so, I'll assume the position of Discuss. I'd hate to be accused of disruption, etc. Now, I'm not against an infobox here, entirely, but I do think the article should be left to mature, somewhat, before we "help the poor old reader" navigate their way through an article which is only at a few thousand bytes, at present. Because of that, I feel we only have a WP:DISINFOBOX at the moment. Let's be honest, it's not exactly a mission to read the very short lede, as it is.

  • What's the problem with an infobox? They provide a concise summary for the casual reader, and all other readers too. North America1000 12:02, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've given it above; did you not read before you typed? But I'm now more interested in your ability to edit war than anything else, if I'm honest. CassiantoTalk 12:10, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Edit warring is sophomoric, not my thing. Sure, then maybe hold off on having an infobox in the article. It's not really important. North America1000 12:21, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'll AGF and say you didn't mean to break the BRD cycle, no problem. Like I say, I'm not against one; I just worry that at the moment it is redundant owing to the very short lead section, which I've tried to extend upon. I'd be quite happy to put it back in myself when more complex and obscure information is found. But it is a direct copy of the lede, at present. No hard feelings.

Rename[edit]

Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not an ice cream salesman!

"The company (and, in turn, the family name) was renamed to Kelly's in the 1930s, moving to Bodmin in the 1970s.[" I'm assuming the family name was actually changed to "Kelly", not "Kelly's". Also, was the company really renamed first (as implied by the sentence), or did the family change their name first? --Khajidha (talk) 22:18, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. I am guessing that Calicchia was changed to Kelly, surprising as this is an Irish name? I'd guess that the family name would have been changed first. That local press source just says: "Kelly's was established by managing director Philip Kelly's great-grandfather, Joseph Staffieri, when he moved from Italy to St Austell in the 1890s. The business and family name was changed to Kelly in the 1930s and moved to its present Bodmin site in the 1970s." Martinevans123 (talk) 22:26, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could it be this, which appears at Froneri? (... although I think you have to be a real grocer to be able to read it). Martinevans123 (talk) 12:31, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
