Talk:WarnerMedia

Company name
I suggest making a link/comment at the beginning of the article to Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. because WarnerMedia was spun off and merged with Discovery, Inc. on April 8, 2022. That way it would be clearer that the company is now called Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. 2A02:21B4:14E4:4500:CCEE:728B:D45A:9B1D (talk) 11:55, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * WBD is a separate entity, and thus Warner Bros. Discovery has its own article. It is linked near the bottom of the lead. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:01, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Ownership history of WarnerMedia
Would it be possible if we add more companies to the list of Parent Companies? Also, was Time Warner AOL, Inc. a publicly trading company or was it owned by AOL. There are some inconsistencies in the article that make it hard to tell. Specifically: "AOL stock fell from $220 Billion to $20 Billion" Did you mean AOL Time Warner?

This article needs permanent protection
I just caught some obvious vandalism in the lead sentence which was inserted on 30 December 2021 from a now-blocked IP address. Apparently no one had caught it for over two years. And that was just the first paragraph.

The underlying problem seems to be that no one cares about Warner Bros. and their crummy movies ever since they lost Christopher Nolan to Universal Pictures. So it looks like very few regular editors are monitoring this article and the vandals are running amok. This article needs to be permanently protected. Coolcaesar (talk) 14:43, 24 March 2024 (UTC)


 * You can submit a request for page protection at WP:RPP, not here. This article has been protected in the past (last one was in June 2021), though the issue you reverted doesn't seem to have been as directly harmful vandalism as you claim, with a change from "doing business as" to "traded as", which essentially convey/mean the same thing despite DBA being mainly the dominantly-used American term. External opinions aside, please take up the protection request at the dedicated page for it if you feel it is strongly desired/necessary. You are always welcome to contribute and cleanup this article yourself if you spot any further issues, and you can request for other contributors to help in editing at one of the WikiProjects which cover this article (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Companies or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Media). I do not believe a permanent protection request is in order, though, as this article does not seem to have a clear history of systemic abuse that would warrant such an action, per the criteria addressed here, though I would still take it up with RPP and would advise requesting semi-protection instead, which is more likely to be accepted in the interim.
