 * As far as I know, permission to use the logo isn't specifically needed, it can be used under fair use.


 * The biggest issue was the use of copyrighted text that is 1) a copyivo, and 2) generally not encyclopedic. If it can be rewritten to be more encyclopedic and not a copyvio, feel free to add it back in. --Interiot 23:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

President is spelled wrong for Temple Sloan III

All capitals?
This edit (from someone who sounds like they might represent Carquest itself?) asserts that CARQUEST should always be spelled using capital letters. Manual of Style (trademarks) says that we don't necessarily give companies special treatment, unless their trademark is practically always used as the capitalized version. From some brief Google searches, it seems to be inconsistently capitalized, anywhere from 20-80% all-caps, depending on what search you do. It would just be nice to settle on something, make all references in the article, as well as the article title consistent. That would probably include the article Carquest Auto Parts 300 as well. Based on the Google search, I don't think it's always given as CARQUEST, so I prefer to use Carquest. --Interiot 04:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

According to CARQUEST.com:

The word CARQUEST should always appear in capital letters. It should never appear as: Car Quest, CAR QUEST, CarQuest, or carquest

As a former corporate GPI employee, I can categorically tell you that CARQUEST is and always has been spelled in all capitals as a single word no matter where it appears or whether it is written in correspondence or part of any logo or name. Any other usage is not acceptable. As a trademark or part of a trademark logo, it ALWAYS appears as a capitalized single word and NEVER appears in any other way. Therefore, wherever it appears, it should always be capitalized. The above referenced link to the CARQUEST trademark and logo usage information from GPI corporate will confirm this. The apparent fact that uninformed press and references that Google finds spell it differently or make it into two words is not authoritative or definitive. I can categorically tell you that Google references that show it ANY other way are not references to any CARQUEST distributing member (e.g. GPI) site, the CARQUEST corporate site or any employee using the trademark as authorized by corporate policies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lind j a (talk • contribs) 21:01, 3 September 2010 (UTC) CARQUEST's own document on this subject is publicly available here: http://www.carquest.com/common/downloads/BRANDIDENTITYPROD_EXT.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lind j a (talk • contribs) 21:22, 3 September 2010 (UTC)


 * The guidelines for inclusion of this article in the encyclopedia mean that standard writing style guidelines must be followed. This is not a marketing promotional piece written by an advertising agency. In this case, please review the standards for Manual of Style/Trademarks. In particular: Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official," as long as this is a style already in use in reliable secondary sources. There are numerous sources in the popular press that write the name of this company as Carquest. Thank you - CZmarlin (talk) 19:43, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

== Employees that have tried commiting suicide and have recently had speaking of stating that you hey are tired of living on earth and tired of the fellow coworkers at the inside of the facility and that they wish that God did wake them up and that they came close to walking out into track and if they go to work the people the hate are going first or along with them. ==

does this make that employee unstable or poses a threat or liability towards everyone working at the distribution plant on old Selma highway in Montgomery, Al.￼ 2600:6C58:60F0:8CD0:1DF5:9F7B:5A4E:6B64 (talk) 15:56, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
