Unitled[edit]

so what country does it come from !!!!!!!

You will find your answer if you actually read the article Brooks Sports (first sentence of the third paragraph, if you want a hint). Astronaut (talk) 01:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I work at Brooks Running Company and would like to point out two pieces of information that have changed about the company: 1. Brooks Running Company now employs 500-1000 people as noted in our LinkedIn page ^[1]

2. Brooks Running can now be found in 60 countries worldwide (vs. 40 as stated in the article).^[2]

3. This list of teams/individuals under the "sponsorship" section were teams that Brooks used to sponsor. A full list of teams and athletes the company sponsors can be found here: ^[3] Dhopcus (talk) 20:14, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I work at Brooks Running Company and have attempted to make changes to ensure that our current list of team/individual sponsored is up to date. The information currently on our page is from many years ago. Here are the teams that we currently sponsor:

Hansons Brooks Original Distance Project ^[4]
Brooks Beasts Track Club ^[5]
Amy Hastings ^[6]
Matthew Elliott ^[7]
Gabriele Anderson ^[8]
Scott Jurek ^[9]
Ryan Vail ^[10]

This article sounds like an advertisement, I assume as a result of the Brooks employee editing. Dtwedt (talk) 16:38, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed it sounds like marketing. I came to this page hoping to see some information about their manufacturing... such as where their operations mostly are (any in the U.S.?) and what if any actions they have taken to ensure good labor practices. Compared with the [[Nike,_Inc.][Nike]] page, for example, this one seems like barely more than a stub. I hope there's someone out there that could flesh it out.

I came for the same reason, and to my observation, all similar articles, as you mentioned, tend to omit details regarding manufacturing, which is relevant for people such as you and me.Dtwedt (talk) 05:06, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A brief review of materials from Ethical Consumer raises issues in these areas: cotton sourcing policy; fossil fuels and nuclear power; among most polluting coal plants; conflict minerals policy; poor efforts on sustainable packaging; operations in oppressive regimes; military supplier; irresponsible marketing; workers' rights and low wages; and possible use of tax havens.

Add animation of Brooks shoe[edit]

Hi,

I would like to add this animated shoe to the Brooks Running page. This is my work. I created it and I have zero affiliation with Brooks Running. They don't even know I exist.

Thanks,

Karl--Karldmartini (talk) 15:22, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NO, do not add. Read WP:PROMO and stop spamming the project with your animations that add nothing to the project except publicity for your website. Thanks. -Roxy, the dog. wooF 16:03, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. I have respect for your work but in this context the animations are unnecessary and distracting. JSFarman (talk) 16:52, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
