[edit] When is our viewpoint?

"Within the last year, they have begun distributing..." This construction only makes sense if one knows when the article was written. -- Shunn 15 August 2006

[edit] Interview with Chris Cerf, questions wanted

Got a question for Chris Cerf? He was the senior editor at Random House for eight years, and is son of Bennett Cerf. Post your questions before 25 April 2005. -- Zanimum 18:11, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] dan brown

i think that Dan Brown is so important for Ran.House and he is not listed here

[edit] Two or one?

Are these two companies? Or is it one company with two (geographical) divisions? This should be made clear in the (to be written) lead section. I am afraid I can not do this, I know zilch of publishing, and even less of companies. Pepve 17:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs more history

The article needs a bit more history, particularly with respect to the (relatively) recent reorganization which put all of Bertelsmann's English-language publishing under the Random House umbrella. The previous structure was more closely reflective of the way in which the publishers had merged. 121a0012 (talk) 05:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

What about separating out the history from the "Random House US" section, so the structure would look more like "history and founding, "Random House US, (with a list of imprints and info about location)," "Random house in other locations," "List of subsidiaries"? -- phoebe / (talk) 19:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Random House Goes Green

I cut this from the main text as it is rather slanted in language, and doesn't fit with the rest of the article -- also an uncited quote. Feel free to rewrite to be NPOV and source, and put back in. -- phoebe / (talk) 19:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Making one of the most dramatic environmentally-conscious production moves of any major publisher to date, Random House is significantly increasing its reliance on recycled paper. Calling the program "the most substantial environmental initiative in the company's history," the house plans to incrementally raise the amount of recycled paper it uses over a four-year period, with a goal of upping its current 3% to 30% by 2010.
