redundancies
editIt seems redundant to list the same services & subsidiaries in the info box. Does anyone else think it's redundant? I think it's redundant. Seananony (talk) 18:06, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Which do you see as overlapping/redundant?
- From what I can tell they're different (even if they 'feel' similar). The service Twitch is not the same as the subsidiary Twitch Interactive. The same distinction is made under Microsoft for LinkedIn and GitHub, the services and the subsidiaries.
- (I don't feel strongly either way, and I'm not sure there's a standard way of listing those) TomNormanCohen (talk) 14:21, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @TomNormanCohen I don't feel strongly about it either, but it also seems redundant to list LinkedIn twice on the MS page table, each instance linked to the same page. It's fine though. I've moved on. :) Seananony (talk) 23:52, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Seananony I agree having both link to the same page has something off about it - I also don't have a good idea of what a good alternative might look like. If you have a good suggestion I'm happy to take on the cleanup and standardise it in other megacorps. :) TomNormanCohen (talk) 10:10, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

"and owns Brilliance Audio and Audible, which produce and distribute audiobooks, respectfully." The correct word here is 'respectively', not 'respectfully'. 2607:FCC8:FFC0:A0:7C4D:21BD:CEE9:5439 (talk) 07:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
