Wal-Mart
...is the largest private employer in the United States. Even according to the Wal-Mart wiki. Not Manpower, as it said before I fixed it. What moron thought Manpower is the largest private employer in this country? LOL. 68.65.33.193 (talk) 00:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Please refrain from potetntially offensive comments such as "What moron." We all make mistakes and there is no needed for name calling. Please, lets keep it professional. Thank you. Best Regards,  Signature brendel  03:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * NPR's This American Life #16 (from 1996), "Economy," describes Manpower Inc. as the largest private employer in the USA. While I'm not surprised that this has changed, it's not an outlandish claim. DOOZ (talk) 20:49, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Advert for Manpower?
The first paragraph of this article reads exactly like the Manpower Brochure. I suggest a revision of the first paragraph to highlight what Manpower actually do and not what they tell their customers in order to sell their business. In short it reads like a lot of sales speak and jargon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohmygoditssteve (talk • contribs) 19:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, all that sales-jargon crap was added by (guess who?) User:USManpower . The old material will be restored. bd2412  T 20:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

The Honoverse, Nothing to do with Manpower
I Don't think that the 'Honoverse' mentioned in this article is anything at all to do with Manpower. It should be added to the appropriate article or its own article created. Just because it has the same name doesn't mean its relevant. I Suggest it is removed.Steve 19:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Manpower logo.jpg
Image:Manpower logo.jpg 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 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.BetacommandBot 05:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Founders
The Manpower website

http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/MAN/144233628x0x63833/a80d75d9-95c7-4084-952d-233e94d1005f/Timeline.pdf

clearly states the following:

"Manpower is founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA by attorneys Elmer Winter and Aaron Scheinfeld. The first offices were located in Milwaukee and Chicago, Illinois."

However, this article only identifies Elmer Winter as a founder. The two were brothers-in-law according to Elmer Winter's biography, they also practiced law together, so they were partners-in-law as well as brothers-in-law.

Even Elmer Winter's biography credits his brother-in-law as a co-founder. Why doesn't this Wikipedia article?

Hmm, it used to. Changed now anyway to include Aaron Scheinfeld 63.174.7.252 16:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Citations needed
I've thrown a few of these tags into the article following an indignant supporter of Sherpa LLC's comments in the AfD for that article. I find great claims here, but few references. Also, an 'unreferenced' tag has been here since November 2009. Anyone watching this article? Over to you... Peridon (talk) 20:36, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
