copyvio
most of the article (as currently written) was apparently copied from this blurb on the company's website!

Fair use rationale for Image:Logo greyhound.gif
Image:Logo greyhound.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Company history
It's interesting for two companies to be identically named, yet claim no connection, except for one (in Australia) to say that the other (in America) simply copied their branding. I'd like to hear a fuller account (beyond simple assertions) of this issue, from anyone knowledgeable about either company. It's a big claim for anyone to assert, on behalf of Greyhound in Australia, that their branding was simply copied by American Greyhound, especially since there is folklore regarding the genesis of the greyhound motif in America, as introduced in 1926 by Ed Stone. Anyone who knows more about this issue, please share. Aboctok (talk) 18:16, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Improvements and POV
The article is in need of a write, which currently is in a bit of a mess with the content.

"The company is currently mired in controversy after signing a contract with Adani, which will see them benefitting from a project that has attracted widespread criticism for its ecological consequences. "

Another issues is the use to Wikipedia for activism, it complete violation of WP:NPOV and WP:UNDUE. I'm not saying that controversy shouldn't be covered but it needs to be done in away that it is neutral. It shouldn't be in the lead, it could be rewritten into a "controversy" section, that should show the it was notably reported. Bidgee (talk) 12:39, 20 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Did you seriously tag the article for rewrite, undue weight, neutrality and encyclopedic tone because you disagreed with one single sentence that no one was arguing with you about? This is why you were asked to explain your edits further and your insistence on reverting without further explanation instead of, if this was really all your were concerned about, removing the sentence is incredibly bizarre.

 * It isn't up to me to rewrite it nor is it up to me to get this article in a better shape. Bidgee (talk) 13:50, 20 February 2020 (UTC)


 * No one says it is, but if you'd like other people to do it, you need to explain what about it needs to be in a better shape. You've so far said you have one issue with a sentence that no one has a problem with removing. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 13:56, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It does need a copyedit... currently it reads like a list (so many “in such-and-such date” sentences!). - Chris.sherlock (talk) 14:12, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
