 * Does there need to be an article on the Echostar half of the business now. Much of the info on this page now refers to the half that is now called Echostar Corporation.Rankersbo (talk) 13:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Dish/Echostar demerger
I think there needs to be a cleanup- Satellite info is listed both here with DNC who lease the service, and Echostar who own and operate them.Rankersbo (talk) 08:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:40, 9 February 2008 (UTC) DISH Network Corporation → Dish Network Corporation — Current name is a violation of WP:MOSTM, which states we should not use odd capitalization just because the trademark owner wants us to. Precedence includes the articles on TIME being at Time, and the article on this companies own product (Dish Network). — TJ   Spyke   05:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Article name capitalization does not match article text
I see above that the decision was made to move the article to Dish Network Corporation, which does make sense based on WP:MOSTM. However, the text inside the article continues to have all upper case DISH. When I read WP:MOSTM it seems to indicate that the text of an article should follow the same convention as the article name, with an exception for the first instance of the name in the article for clarity. Not that it is a big deal, but it was a bit distracting to me to see that the article name did not match the narrative. Would anyone object to me having DISH appear parenthetically in the first sentence, but changed to Dish everywhere else? CosineKitty (talk) 15:07, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
