Talk:Public Service Enterprise Group

Corporate Name
Why is this article not using the company's proper name Public Service Enterprise Group? Public Electric and Gas is a subsidiary of Public Service Enterprise Group. All references should use the parent name not a subsidary IMHO. Dancing is Forbidden (talk) 18:45, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: PAge moved to Public Service Enterprise Group  Ron h jones (Talk) 01:02, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Public Service Electric and Gas Company → PSE&G — This is a more commonly used name and it also incorporates the usage by both the parent company Public Service Enterprise Group and the subsidary Public Service Electric and Gas. Dancing is Forbidden (talk) 02:25, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I was about to do the move myself when I visited the company website. They refer to themselves as Public Serve Enterprise Group (PSEG) with no ampersand and then mention a subsidiary company, Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), without an ampersand. I think that both the title and the subject of this page before any move is done.--Supertouch (talk) 03:30, 24 March 2010 (UTC)


 * See in my original move request that's what I said, it should be Public Service Enterprise Group but some comments said No it should stay Public Service Electric and Gas which I totally disagree with. So I attempted to make a compromise and this is what I came up with. Do you think I should delete this move request and go back to the original request to make it Public Service Enterprise Group instead of Public Service Electric and Gas?

 * Unless a page move is expected to be contentious, you can go ahead and move the page yourself as opposed to requesting a move. In this case, it doesn't seem as though there is heavy editing activity nor is there that big of a difference a company's name and its acronym if the company itself uses those initials on their own website. I would say go with PSEG as that seems to be the parent company as opposed to PSE&G which appears to be a subsidiary of the former. Although this page is named Public Service Electric and Gas Company, the article it self seems to be describing Public Service Enterprise Group which it would be a good idea to create a redirect page for (start a new page with that name and type #REDIRECT PSEG or #REDIRECT PSE&G depending upon which you go with and then saving the page). In either case, the pages for each acronym currently exists as a redirect to this page so the move would be cutting and pasting the contents of this page to the target page (whichever you decide) and making this page (the page for the article not the talk page of course) into a redirect to the new page by typing either #REDIRECT PSEG or #REDIRECT PSE&G on the now empty Public Service Electric and Gas Company.--Supertouch (talk) 22:00, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * @Dancing, I didn't object to the move. I said I was surprised the sourcing used was primarily about the parent company, since far more coverage would be expected to be about the generation and delivery company. I also noted that PSE&G was the far more common name, but that was easily handled by redirects. By the time I saw your compromise, you had refactored my comment off the page and restarted the move request. I actually think that sufficient sources should exist to have articles on both the parent company and its most notable subsidiary. This one should be moved as it is primarily sourced to be about the parent.  Jim Miller  See me 12:11, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Since the 7 days discussion period has past I formally request that this discussion be closed and an admin take a consensus on how this request should be handled. Dancing is Forbidden (talk) 03:57, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

public or investor owned?
is this a public or private utility? i am confused by the wording that says it is both public AND investor owned (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_utility#North_America). Clarification and/or article edit appreciated by Mang (talk) 23:37, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

"Public company", "publicly traded company", "publicly held company" are used to designate a company that trades on the stock market, where anyone can buy an ownership share. "Public utility" indicates an organization offering a public service (phones, internet, electric, cable, water, gas). Some utilities are owned by governments and are called "publicly owned." PSEG is a public utility and a publicly traded company, but is not publicly owned. The term "investor-owned utility" indicates that the utility is a publicly traded company and not owned by the government. I believe investor owned utility the most appropriate term.69.142.48.146 (talk) 18:51, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
