Wikipedia talk:Requested articles/Other categorization schemes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trying to research corporate histories is much harder than it should be. I am requesting a whole new category! Currently I am researching Sock Shop and Knickerbox to help a big Polish hosiery and (smaller) lingerie manufaturer. I seem to remember one of them failed some 15 years ago. This encyclopedia would be a good place to give a history of many companies. As for Who Owns Whom - taken to the level of brands as well as subsidiaries - I would love to start putting this together under your wing! TinekMitski@interia.pl
