Westinghouse Electric (1886) → Westinghouse Electric Corporation – per WP:NATURAL, and besides, it was the official name of the company. The modern-day company is called Westinghouse Electric Company, so a hatnote would help them not be confused with each other. ✉cookiemonster✉ ^𝚨755𝛀 07:27, 13 July 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.

• Strong support – And that article needs some TLC... Surely there's more to say on a major corporate history spanning a century before M&A divestiture. — JFG ^talk 04:47, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
• Support per COMMONNAME and NATURAL and support hatnote; current disambiguation is not needed, Westinghouse Electric redirects here, which may or may not more appropriately point to Westinghouse Electric Company. Sam Sailor ^Talk! 12:07, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

From what I gathered piecewise from many other Wikipedia articles, it seems to me that almost all modern nuclear reactors (excluding the few still extant BWR designs, and probably the WWER) are somehow descended from Westinghouse's original designs of the pressurized water reactor. However there is barely a mention of Westinghouse's work concerning nuclear reactors in the article at the moment. --BjKa (talk) 14:47, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

@BjKa: Would you please cite RS to support this? Otherwise, it's OR. Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 18:17, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

I've been on Wikipedia long enough to know that obvious truth is never allowed in articles. No need to point that out. That's why I'm not putting it in myself. Just trying to give a pointer to people willing to work on improving the article. I gathered the information purely for myself and didn't make notes what I found where. When I come across the various articles mentioning the licensing of Westinghouse patents to Germany and France again, I'll be back. In the meantime anyone looking for that information is just as likely to find it themselves. --BjKa (talk) 14:46, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
