That’s not really relevant to the post, is it? And that kind of praise on Wikipedia usually comes from the company editing its own Wikipedia page and being very picky about which data they cite.

You’re right, we should discourage any efforts to improve anything because they’re not immediately perfect.

Gatekeeping on positive news?

I’d say it’s relevant because I certainly didn’t know anything about the company the meme is discussing, and that was a fun fact to see. I especially appreciate the wiki link cuz that’s what I wanted to go to after asking such a head scratcher.

I know the Wikipedia link is relevant, but specifically the except seems totally disconnected to me from the post. It feels inorganic, to the point I almost doubt OP’s motives. Maybe I’m wrong.

Anyway I’m not trying to say any of it is untrue, just that it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

I hope I’m not gatekeeping, but if I’m gatekeeping anything it’s not ‘good news’, it’s what can be posted under a meme post. But as I said, I’m just trying to provide context, I guess it came out pretty gatekeepy so I’ll try to tone that down next time.

Kudos for the well thought out and introspective comment.

It did get me thinking about whether or not these numbers were affected by the purchasing and selling of the various subsidiaries, and if that happened, whether or not it should “count”.
