Talk:Jaycar

message: #Origins: John Carr & Co. Pty Ltd appears to be the former name of Electus Distribution Pty Ltd, (ACN: 000 087 347) whereas Jaycar Pty Ltd (ACN: 000 087 936) is a separate entity which was registered in 1950. Was the company originally called "Jaycar" in 1950?
#Foundation Date: ASIC lists the incorporation date of "John Carr & Co. Pty Ltd" (Now Electus Distribution Pty Ltd)
:I can't tell the specifics of the company structure, but it would appear that the two are linked (their administrations are in the same building and they share the same warehouse). The initial conclusion would be that Electus deal with wholesale sales only and Jaycar deal with retail sales only. Thus far unable to find documentation to support this observation and so have not added it to the article. Dr Neo Lao (talk) 04:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's appreciated that you're trying to get the article updated. Could I suggest that you name the CEO and provide a reference. Also, references for subsidiaries Road Tech and Soanar, and the number of employees would be appreciated. Jaycar links cannot be used as refs. This means that the other changes you requested will need refs too. Akld guy (talk) 08:32, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

message: #Dubious Statement: The last paragraph of the introduction seems dubious as Dick Smith Electronics product range seems to have shifted towards high volume low margin items definitely not "high-profit margin" items as per the statement. This paragraph is puffery and does not appear to add any value to the article, I believe it should be deleted.
:statement has been changed from "overpriced consumer goods" to "general consumer electrical goods" as im a first time editor I didn't want to delete this section on the talk page, just in case-  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.132.101.124 (talk) 13:37, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: , I've done a quick tidy of the article, including removal of excessive detail about the "controversies" per WP:UNDUE, WP:CRIT, etc.  I'll have a look at your additions above later/another day. The media release, unfortunately, is undated, so even adding "March 2021" is a bit of a stretch, so if you have another dated source, or obit, that would be better. I'm not sure how to use that link to the logo. It needs to be uploaded to Wikipedia or Wikimedia before it can be used in the article. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:37, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
