Philosophy of Composition

Keep up the great work on The Philosophy of Composition! I've done some substantial work on it already but I agree that there's plenty of room for growth. Let me know if I can help with whatever you're doing or if you need advice on what you've already done, etc. That article is on my watchlist so I'll keep an eye on it! --Midnightdreary 23:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Names of companies

Hi, saw you're shuffling around M.M.Warburg & CO KGaA. You may want to read WP:NCCORP before you go any further. Also note that if you're moving things it's better to use the actual move function of the page, to preserve the history of the text. Happy New Year! --Noiratsi (talk) 15:18, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. I only tried to help a friend, who works at that company and failed to get all the wrong name pages to the right one. I am not soo experienced with this kind of bigger changes. So: Yes, you are right, moving would have been the better option. I didn't know that a normal user can do that.

For now I have made the redirects point to M. M. Warburg & Co.. Anyone editing on behalf of a company or employee should disclose that fact—see WP:COI. WP:NCCORP is the main guideline on how to name articles, and as detailed there we usually prefer not to include the suffix (like "KGaA"). In some cases titles also drop the "& Co", but in this case I've left it for now. Thanks for your contributions, and I'm sorry if it seems like your efforts have just been undone! —Noiratsi (talk) 15:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I noticed there was also a discussion about this a while back, at Talk:M. M. Warburg & Co., and everyone agreed that the current title is best. --Noiratsi (talk) 15:43, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I am sorry, I didn't disclose it - I thought, it wasn't nescessary for only moving a page to the correct name. And "M. M. Warburg & Co." is the wrongest spelling. They don't use spaces, and the Co. in written CO: http://www.mmwarburg.com/de/bankhaus/ You can't just tell IBM to be written I. B. M. just because that's the normal way. ;-) Would you please be so kind and at least move the page to M.M.Warburg & CO? I do understand, that KGaA doesn't have to be part of the page title. But M.M.Warburg & CO seems to be the spelling they use as their company name. --Kaffeeringe.de (talk) 16:02, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Since the move has already been discussed and it was agreed to use the current title, you would probably need to follow the procedure at WP:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves to get people's opinions. It might also be good to notify the people who previously commented at Talk:M. M. Warburg & Co.. Based on what was said in the last discussion, I doubt that any new move proposal will be successful, but there's no harm in seeing what people think. Make sure you read the previous discussion first - it's at Talk:M. M. Warburg & Co.#Requested move, in a green box. --Noiratsi (talk) 16:07, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

To me it seems, that these two people in that discussion didn't really know the company. It's pretty old. And the way they write their name is oldfashioned. They have always written their name "M.M.Warburg & CO". And sadly I don't have the time to discuss… So it has to remain incorrect… --Kaffeeringe.de (talk) 16:12, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
