Hospital

I wondered if anybody knew or thought it relevant that Hasbro founded a children's hospital here in RI...it's truly wonderful and called the Hasbro Children's Hospital. I don't actually know to what extent it was funded by the hasbro company, but assume it must have been substantial to have provided the name.

Vandalism by User:Aoi

This page needs admin attention from this vandal that seems to wish to get into a edit war with other users, because they disagree with something being added ot the article. To my knowledge Wikipedia was about a consensus, not one user rules the entire site, and several users are trying to include news, while one user says they re not allowed to and constantly deleted their edits through reversion. Recent events are not able to updated instantly, and other editors must give people time to find proper and relevant sources, and should not be allowed to start an edit war over them, so why is this user constantly doing this for the past week on this article? shadzar-talk 03:41, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if you would like to report me for vandalism, please do so at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. However, I would advise that you read what constitutes vandalism before you do. In any case, I found a source that meets WP:RS and edited the text in a way that should meet the reliable sourcing policy. Thank you. Aoi (青い) (talk) 04:06, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sweatshop labor

If there are better refs to be found, we should probably mention something about this. As it was [1], it appears to be simply soapboxing for business-humanrights.org, which I can find no RSN discussions on, and appears to be something to be treated as a primary source with no weight of it's own. I don't see it mentioned in either of the independent sources, so there's nothing to give it any weight.

Since years have passed since the reports were released, we need better refs to demonstrate encyclopedic value. --Hipal (talk) 18:18, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I propose merging Atari Interactive into Hasbro and possibly related articles. Hasbro's electronic entertainment division was closely related to Hasbro and has low notability standalone. The Atari brand article strongly overlaps with the Infogrames/Atari SA period on Atari#Infogrames_and_Atari_SA_(2001–present), perhaps a hatnote or redirect to helpful.

Edit: Courtesy ping to @Oknazevad: IgelRM (talk) 09:50, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To illustrate per 1999 PR, "Hasbro Interactive is a division of Hasbro". IgelRM (talk) 10:29, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strongest possible oppose. What was true in 1999, a quarter century ago, is irrelevant to what the company is now, which is a subsidiary of Atari SA. In fact it's the subsidiary that owns the "Atari" name, which is why every modern Atari product includes the Atari Interactive name on it. Saying it's more linked to Hasbro is, frankly, to completely misunderstand the history, and to ignore the fact that it's been part of the modern Atari far longer than it was under Hasbro. Using that link as evidence for a bad merge is at best mistaken at at worst outright misleading. (There may be a case to be made for splitting Hasbro Interactive and Atari Interactive as a separate successor company, but they were literally merged ot a couple of years ago. oknazevad (talk) 00:52, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I explained my rationale perfectly clearly. oknazevad (talk) 04:57, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
