Infobox formatting issue[edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hi there! The image in the infobox is not displaying correctly. Can someone please fix it? Thanks, Daylen (talk) 23:02, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Daylen: the specific infobox template that you used has different parameters than most other ones. Please see {{infobox website}} for a list of parameters. I fixed it for now, but perhaps you would want to use a different infobox? --Majora (talk) 23:17, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 20 May 2017[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. I'll note that the other products are already listed in the infobox. -- Tavix ^(talk) 01:11, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ring Video Doorbell → Ring (company) – The company makes products in addition to doorbells, such as outdoor security cameras and a video recording service. The title only represents one product, instead of the entire company. Daylen (talk) 17:58, 20 May 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 21:47, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article would need a significant expansion first since so far it only coves the doorbell. The two options I see here to to either expand this article into a genraral one about the company, or, if the doorbell is independently notable, create a separate article for the company keeping this article at the current title.--64.229.167.158 (talk) 15:39, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Per nom. The title change will encourage a few minor updates to make the article be about the company (and products); not just the doorbell. I see no need for two articles at this time. --В²C ☎ 20:23, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Naming[edit]

Last year User:ViperSnake151 renamed this article from "Ring (company)", which would be the usual pattern according to WP:NCCORP, apparently without discussion. The mover claimed that "Ring Inc." is the natural name. I can find only one source that uses Ring Inc (Bloomberg), a handful that use Ring llc/LLC (e.g. Dun & Bradstreet, Lexology), and the company seems to refer to itself as just Ring or Ring.com. Therefore I suggest the article title should return to Ring (company). Colonies Chris (talk) 10:23, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I support the move back to Ring (company), as Ring is the common name and it is unclear whether the entity name uses the LLC or the Inc. suffix. — Newslinger talk 13:37, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Ring LLC[edit]

Many other pages use their suffix to differentiate themselves from other pages of similar names. Since LLC can be used, it probably should. ^Wiinter_U 12:58, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've done this move. Although the 2020 discussion above suggested that company's legal suffix is unclear, think that Bloomberg page might be the only place where it's referred to as Ring Inc. Their own website uses Ring LLC [1]. Toadspike [Talk] 16:17, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can use Opencorporates for the legal suffix. However, you should always go to the SOS state where it was founded. Usually, it would be Delaware. Usually, when a company buys a corporation, they usually unincorporate for easier ownership. ^Wiinter_U 16:19, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a lot of "usually"s for one sentence! Thanks for the website recommendation – I've just tried searching for Ring LLC and got a gazillion results, with no easy way to filter them. Since we've already figured this one out, I'll leave the task of learning how to use it to next time. Toadspike [Talk] 16:36, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
