Template talk:News Corporation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a truly ridiculous template. Waaaaaay too big.

...of course, it's a ridiculous corporation, also way too big.

[edit] add James, remove Lachlan?

I think James really needs to be added now and possibly remove Lachlan seeing as how he has no major role in the company at present time. Perry mason (talk) 11:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dow Jones?

Does News Corp not now own Dow Jones? Could the (pending) be removed? Xt828 (talk) 16:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

the deal is not complete until 5:00 p.m. ET, December 12, 2007 which is the deadline for the exchange of Dow Jones shares into 'Newco' (basically newscorp class b) shares.[1] it is highly unlikely (probably near on impossible) for the deal to fail now but i guess for official purposes, editing should probably be left until this time.

Shareholders did approve the sale, as of earlier today. I have noted this in the template, and the article also says that by tomorrow, News Corporation will be the owner. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 22:51, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
