This is information which I am debating adding to the Firestone talk page.

I will refine these comments over time, and probably delete many of them.

"L" are places were I need to add comments, names, or edit history links.

struck comments are comments which I probably will not add to the Firestone talk page.

Why the Firestone article should be merged into the Bridgestone article
In 1988 Bridgestone bought Firestone, as I wrote in this article:


 * "L"


 * (Later deleted by Mobile 01, "L" another "mistake"? "L")

Mobile 01 states herself:


 * "L"

Every single website that I have found has both the Firestone and Bridgestone label. Type in "Firestone" in Google, the following are the first corporate links:


 * "L" Bridgestone logo.
 * "L" Bridgestone logo.
 * "L" Bridgestone logo.
 * "L" Bridgestone logo.
 * "L" Bridgestone logo.

The New Zealand Bridgestone webpage "more web pages" lists the Firestone history, as Bridgestone's history:


 * "L"

One of Mobile 01's arguments that Bridgestone should not be merged with Firestone has been the following:


 * "L" New Zealand

Another of Mobile 01's arguments:


 * "L"

When I question these arguments, Mobile 01 calls me "dumb","L" "name","L" What has happened on the Bridgestone page:


 * "L" 203 sock.
 * "L" edit history on Bridgestone.

What has happened on the Firestone page:


 * "L" edit history on Firestone.

In other words, "L" "users" have repeatedly attempted to delete all connection that Firestone has to Bridgestone.

Why? I am not 100% sure.

My own theory, is that despite Firestone being the same company, the Firestone page has become the wikipage were all criticism of Bridgestone goes. Then editors delete all reference to Firestone in Bridgestone, and then the Bridgestone page has no criticism at all.

Mobile 01 herself has stated that she wants a page with "no criticism", "L", like the Bridgestone employees and Bridgestone sock, "L" first she deleted several well referenced criticisms of Bridgestone. "L" When this failed and was reverted, and when the page was protected, in her own words she orphaned this page "L" and created a "dupe" page/ "L" content fork. "L"
