Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Brand. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Copyright issues[edit]

BronHiggs (talk · contribs) has marked the history section as a copyright violation. I've verified that the text is duplicated in the work in question, "COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT" by Ravider Tomar published by the now defunct "Global India Publications." See here. I've run across "Global India Publications" before; they've published several works that were just a blatant cut and paste from Wikipedia articles without any attribution. My previous notes were here. Other incidents with this publisher are here (at meta) and here. The "Vesuvinum wine jars" material was added to the Wikipedia article in June of 2008 by Harami2000 (talk · contribs). The rest of the section seems to predate the publication of that "book." Was there anything else specific to look at, or are you comfortable removing the template? Kuru (talk) 13:09, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Kuru (talk · contribs) Thank-you for taking the time to look into this matter. I am satisfied with the outcome of your investigation and content to remove the copyvio tag. As I mentioned in my original message, this same content appears in an academic journal article published in 2011 which is also a later date. But, it makes me wonder what journal editors are doing? How can this type of content be published so widely in so many different types of sources without comment? Do I remove the tag or will you do that?

Proposed merge with Parity product[edit]

Doesn't seem a distinctive concept needing a separate article - a redirect would work fine. PamD 19:35, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Tag Bombing[edit]

I have never really understood this propensity to tag-bomb articles with all manner of tags. In addition to the plethora of citation needed and page references needed tags, there are also numerous tags for e.g. quantify?, when? by whom? which? clarification needed? etc.

I would be the first to acknowledge that some of the expression in this article requires improvement - too many statements are overqualified or ambiguous. The tags have been there for more than six months, and nothing has changed. Wouldn't it be preferable to rework some of these passages rather than tag-bomb it?? I started trying to fix a few of these tags earlier this year - but alas, this only led to new tags being added to other sections.

In the past, I developed this article by writing the history section, and expanding the section on branding concepts. I had entertained notions of returning to improve the rest of the article. However, in light of the excessive tag-bombing that has occured in each and every section of the article, I confess that now I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

I wonder if members of the tag-team realise that their excessive tagging is not constructive - it turns editors off the idea of adding to articles or amending content in articles? BronHiggs (talk) 02:02, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Content forking: creating new article on brand protection[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

This extensive article covers many aspects of brands and branding, but does not cover the topic of brand protection (the set of methods for preventing and detecting illegal use of intellectual property). I think that brand protection is a distinct concept which would deserve its own article. However there is a redirect from brand protection to this article, what do you think of converting it into an article? I can start working on that new article if you agree.
