Hey, I notice the article starts off with bolded Foster & Smith, Inc. while the article is named Drs. Foster & Smith. I think the article needs to be moved to Foster & Smith Inc, or the lede needs to be revised to show Drs. Foster & Smith first. Perhaps lead with something like "Drs. Foster & Smith, also known as Foster & Smith, Inc., is a pet supply company....". Anyhow, having both put in bold in the lede without explaining their relationship is a problem. Are they the same or not? Say so, up front. Also i raised article rating to Start as this is clearly Start or above in level. I am not an expert about assessing articles so someone else should rate it higher if appropriate. --doncram (talk) 18:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I have clarified the relationship. It is fairly standard to have an article located at its common name, but start the article with its legal name. (This is true for businesses and people.) However, since the relationship isn't 100% clear in this case it's a worthwhile adjustment to make. --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:46, 20 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Okay, fine by me. Thanks! --doncram (talk) 15:57, 20 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
