confusion
edit"In 1846, British tobacconist Philip Morris opened a shop on Bond Street, London, United Kingdom, selling tobacco and rolled cigarettes."
Wasn't he eleven years old in '46? Theo27 (talk) 08:26, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- There is some inconsistency with the Philip Morris (tobacconist) article, and this is one of the differences. He was young, but it was his family setting up the shop. I will edit this article to include the reference from the Philip Morris article, and also I will delete the "died from lung cancer" claim. Cancer was added by 196.188.241.198 in 2019 without a source. Lung was added by 98.124.96.60 in 2023, also without a source. Ttwaring (talk) 20:10, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Article class demotion
editHi all, I've demoted this article to c-class after a broad review, as there is almost no context on the important legal history of the brand, and a significant lack of context for its brand history in the 21st century as well. There's also very little information on the progression of the company outside of the United Kingdom / United States / Canada, and the majority of the article's weight rests upon its sports sponsorships; in that regard, though I will say I'm impressed with whoever wrote that section, there is literally no sourcing to support it for 7 paragraphs of text in a row. The information provided here is substantial, but it is still critically lacking in certain sections, and is in desperate need of an update, as well as a broader review of accuracy given the lack of proper citation. I wish everyone the best, and will look forward to seeing improvements.
