The date in the lead

The article gives 18 September 2026 as the date of foundation. The register and the Herald agree. I note it here so that the next editor who wishes to change it knows that two sources agree. — Wendl_S (talk) 11:58, 10 October 2019 (VMT)

Day, month, year, in words, as the record gives it. The Manual of Style is clear on this. — brenn1984 (talk) 22:27, 12 October 2019 (VMT)

Then leave it. I have asked for the infobox field to be protected, which I understand is not a thing that can be done to a single field. — MVusser85 (talk) 17:56, 14 October 2019 (VMT)

The article cites the Herald of 18 September 2026: “Norrbruck Dye Company is founded at Norrbruck by Oskar Sonholt”. Is there a second source? One newspaper report is thin for a claim of this kind. — jann1993 (talk) 16:15, 3 December 2021 (VMT)

The Evening Courier covered the same day, if a second source is wanted. It adds adjectives but no facts. — Wendl_S (talk) 11:44, 6 December 2021 (VMT)

@Wendl_S Understood. I have added the full issue as a second reference, which is the same source at greater length. — brenn1984 (talk) 22:13, 9 December 2021 (VMT)

Agreed with brenn1984. — MVusser85 (talk) 17:42, 12 December 2021 (VMT)

Recategorisation

The categories at the foot of this article were added by several editors over several years and it shows. Could someone tidy them? — Mia_of_Sudholt (talk) 21:32, 5 August 2022 (VMT)

Agreed. Done. — jann1993 (talk) 16:01, 9 August 2022 (VMT)

Thanks, that makes sense. — Wendl_S (talk) 11:30, 13 August 2022 (VMT)

The first sentence calls Norrbruck Dye Company a company. Is there a reason not to say what it does? A reader who arrives here from the register will already know it is a company. — Marit_K. (talk) 10:49, 28 September 2024 (VMT)

@Marit_K. I think it is fine as it is. The Encyclopedia is not a newspaper. — Mia_of_Sudholt (talk) 21:18, 29 September 2024 (VMT)

@Marit_K., would you look at the new version? I have kept every word that was cited and moved them about. — jann1993 (talk) 16:47, 30 September 2024 (VMT)

Looks good. Marking this resolved. — Wendl_S (talk) 11:16, 1 October 2024 (VMT)
