This article says the company was founded by James Dole in 1851, but the James Dole article states that he wasn't born until 1877.
- The history section is definitely wrong. It should be rewritten, referencing this timeline on the dole.com website, which I think we can assume is more accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.109.210.148 (talk) 07:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy?
The article currently states that the Hawaiian Pineapple Company was involved in the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani and the establishment of Hawaii as a U.S. territory. However, the queen was deposed in 1893 and Hawaii was annexed by the U.S. in 1898, while the article says the company was not founded until 1901. --Metropolitan90 19:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Controversy
USFac had pasted eight paragraphs of unsourced, NPOV-violating material in this section (as well as on the main article page - now twice reverted). Given the phrasing, the manner in which it was applied (merely a duplicate of main page entry) and similar edits made by USFac in other articles, it does not appear that this user was acting in good faith. Further, it appears the entry on this talk page was made solely to "blanket" Wikipedia with the editor's comments, not to genuinely engage the community in conversation. I have, obviously and consequently, removed that prose from this page. If there is a sincere desire to contribute a cited and non-biased "controversy" section, please discuss it here first.
