Use of uppercase[edit]

Wikipedia's Manual of Style advises against unnecessary use of capital letters or other distinctive styling. However, in this article it is probably useful that an editor has changed references to the company to "REED", as this distinguishes the meaning from references to the founder Alec Reed. – Fayenatic London 23:10, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why Charities on Reed's page?[edit]

It's because Reed pays for these charities through the Reed Foundation. They can be distinguished from the usual megacorp-supports-Charity X because the Reed Foundation started these charities as well as continuing to fund them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.98.8.47 (talk) 09:56, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No more ad-speak?[edit]

Can't see anything "written like an advertisement" here any more - all agree? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarKusAur (talk • contribs) 11:32, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion over the intention of the tag[edit]

This article has been tagged as reading like a "...press release or a news article and is largely based on routine coverage or sensationalism." Those four different points seem mutually exclusive to me, so I m having trouble understanding the original intention behind the tag. A press release can be sensationalist, but routine coverage can't - it's what "routine" means, surely?

I suggest delete the tag or expand on the problem. Oiona (talk) 09:41, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Update: actually, now I look at it again, there is maybe a bit too much detail; will amend. Oiona (talk) 09:59, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
