thread_title:  Retarded Product List 

message: Sirs:
Thank you to the Comfort Suites in Niceville, Florida for taking us in after our home burned twice on New years eve.
What kindness they showed.  I thought it was lost in our area.  My family are the founders of this area and go back four generations.  My husband's father was military and my husband was born here also. My husband's father started several businesses and my husband holds down three jobs trying to make ends meet.  We cleaned up after the first fire and the Marshall said it was safe to go back.  But, since our home was strong and older the wonderful old pine was lighting up our ceiling in our kitchen and not with Christmas lights.  I tried again to put this fire out, but the marshall told mem to leave.  The water hose didn't work.  Mostly water and mold damage, but very cold even in FL.
The things the people did here where kind and needed.  My husband works for AFLAC and does music.  I am a singer and an educator for many years.  However I am disabled and way over sixty as is my husband.  My adopted native American son is autistic with other problems and still with us.  God help us.  My mother started the first Baptist church of FWB over 70 years ago in her home.  My mother n law charter member of the Catholic church, so I am a member of both. Where are the so called people when we need them... Again, I know you are corp. America.  But, we are not.  I am related to Clara Barton and Susan B. Anthony.  My Mama was the youngest of 11 and a Kennedy.  My husband's mother came through Ellis Island, married her first husband, joined the service to find him.  He never returned.  After five years she married and at the age of 35 she had six children.  She was tired at the age of 95 and went to sleep.
My husband's father was head of the mash units in WWII and other wars.  He died of cancer at the age of 88.  I still have one relation alive.  A 93 year old uncle I so want to see.  He lives in Jacksonville and has been knighted by several countries.  He holds titles that are passed to me.  Sir Anthony and his wife, no children, live alone. I am a Countess.  It does not mean much here  , but in Malta is a high honor from a noble family.  I suupport the ship of hope, or the Red Cross ship from Malta... but now I am very humbled by what this has done to our family.  I have been in and seen so many wars.  But, the reaction of the lack of help from corp. America is so very sad.  Bank of America, my only credit card, will cancel because they are concerned that I may not be able to pay. SHOCK!  
Thank you for letting me write this.  Let me know if you need a disabled problem solver that is still learning the computer systems of the world. 
Peace be with you...
Countess Tula V. Tisa/USA Mrs. Leo P. Tisa/ Sir Leo of Malta
please honor your workers here... ty  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.167.232.253 (talk) 23:39, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  'The local People 

message: I deleted the account of a group of Flint, Michigan teenagers who complained that they were rudely treated by staff at one hotel location.  An article concerning the seventy plus history of a large hotel chain is not the place for attention given to a complaint that one staff member treated a group of teenagers staying at the hotel rudely.  No matter how rude he might have been, it fails to rise to the level of noteworthy.  In any case, any adult who has ever tried to stay at any hotel while a group of teens is staying there can probably empathize.  Most customers would probably prefer teens be "thrown off the property."  Just not noteworthy!69.69.227.144 (talk) 21:37, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Flint High Schooler's Incident

message: First off, I'd like to suggest improvements to the current article's "Founding and early years" subsection which, as mentioned above, is entirely unsourced. I propose replacing the existing text with what I've drafted here: User:Inkian_Jason/Choice_Hotels#Founding_and_early_history. 
The proposed text offers readers a general overview of the company's founding and early history, using neutral wording and Wikipedia-appropriate sourcing. None of the claims are particularly controversial, and all are easily verifiable. If editors are okay with the suggested text, here's markup for updating the section:
Choice Hotels traces its history to 1939, when the United States' first hotel chain, Quality Courts United, Inc., was founded. Quality Courts United, Inc. began as a nonprofit referral chain of seven motels in Florida and would undergo several name changes before becoming what is known today as Choice Hotels International. The chain initially remained east of the Mississippi River.
By the early 1960s, Quality Courts United had approximately 600 members. All of its hotels needed to meet certain quality standards and offer amenities like air conditioning, telephones, swimming pools, paved driveways, and wall-to-wall carpeting. In 1963, the organization became a for-profit corporation and changed its name to Quality Courts Motels, Inc.
In 1957, Stewart W. Bainum Sr., who ran a Washington, D.C., plumbing business, opened his first hotel in Silver Spring, Maryland. He later franchised his first Quality Courts motel in 1963. In 1968, Bainum merged his business, Park Consolidated Motels, Inc., with Quality Courts Motels, assumed the role of president and CEO, and moved the company's headquarters from Daytona Beach to Silver Spring, Maryland.
Lodging Magazine wrote that, by 1969, Quality Courts Motels was the world's "largest association of independent motel operators".

thread_title: "Founding and early years"

message: First, thanks to  for helping above. Since the "Founding and early history" section has been addressed, I'd like to move on to the article's next section, "Growth and expansion", which has a total of 6 paragraphs. Two of the paragraphs are entirely unsourced, and two additional paragraphs are partly unsourced. This entire subsection is sourced by only 2 references (one of which is used 4 times). I've tried to streamline the section by removing some content that is either unsourced or unnecessary. Also, the draft adds some content that it is really important to a better understanding of the history of the company, such as Manor Care's ownership of Choice Hotels in the 1990s. Additionally, this section has 4 images, resulting in "sandwiched" text, which should be avoided, per Wikipedia's manual of style.
I've worked to improve the section by reviewing existing sourcing and adding new sources as well. Please see my proposed replacement text here: User:Inkian_Jason/Choice_Hotels#Growth_and_expansion. This content gives readers a better overview, more relevant fact claims sourced by appropriate references, and displays just two images to avoid text sandwiching. I should note, I worked with Choice Hotels to upload these images to Wikimedia Commons.
I invite editors to review the suggested text and update the existing article appropriately. I've rendered the text and provided markup below:
The company changed its name to Quality Inns International in 1972 and, in 1990, the parent company became known as Choice Hotels International. 
In the 1980s, the company launched the industry's first market-segmentation strategy, complete with a range of hotel brands across price points. Geographically, it expanded across the country by opening hotels in the west. 
The Comfort brand, which would later become Choice Hotels' flagship brand, launched in 1981. The brand was marketed to family vacationers, business travelers, and senior citizens to compete with Days Inn, Best Western, and Friendship Inn. The company's Quality Inn hotels remained in the midscale segment, competing with Holiday Inn, Ramada, Howard Johnson, and Travelodge. The now-discontinued Quality Royale brand was positioned as Choice Hotels' upscale brand, designed to compete with Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, and Sheraton. In the 1980s, Choice bought Friendship Inn, Rodeway Inn, and Econo Lodge. 
In 1989, the company introduced McSleep, an economy brand utilizing a consistent, interior-corridor design prototype designed by Rob Spurr that was all new construction. The name was soon changed to Sleep Inn following litigation from McDonald's. 
Bainum's other business, Manor Care, Inc., which owned and managed nursing homes, bought Choice Hotels in 1990. The company later spun off its hotels business in 1996. Bainum Sr. led Choice Hotels International until 1987, when his son, Stewart W. Bainum Jr., took over the role of chairman and chief executive. As of 2018, Bainum Jr. remains chairman of Choice Hotels.
Choice Hotels International became publicly traded in 1996. That same year, it announced the launch of the MainStay Suites brand, a midscale extended-stay hotel. 
In the mid-2000s, Choice Hotels expanded into the upscale hotel market. The company announced in 2005 the launch of its Cambria Hotels & Suites brand, later renamed Cambria Hotels, the company's first new brand since the 1996 launch of MainStay Suites. The Cambria brand was created as an upscale hotel chain marketed to business travelers. , the Cambria brand had expanded to about 100 hotels open or in the pipeline, including hotels in Philadelphia, Dallas, New Orleans, and Savannah, Georgia.
In 2008, Choice Hotels was the first industry chain to launch a soft brand, Ascend Hotel Collection. The Ascend Hotel Collection includes upscale boutique and historic hotels whose owners are subject to fewer fixed brand standards compared with Choice's other brands.

Again, I'd like to think this is a pretty straightforward improvement to the currently poorly-sourced content, but I don't edit the main space directly, so I'm looking for editors to update the article on my behalf.  Would you be willing to review this proposed subsection as well?

replies: text:   Thanks for updating the article. The source doesn't specify, so I would assume world.

thread_title: Help with inline citation

message: Thanks again to User:WhisperToMe for helping above. The "where?" tag and "Grant18" reference still need to be addressed, but I'd like to go ahead and post a request for the article's next section, "Recent developments", which has 6 short paragraphs.
First, I propose renaming this section to "Recent history"; especially in an article about the hospitality industry, "developments" can imply construction sites and/or property development, so "history" seems more appropriate and encompassing. The proposed content for this section includes mention of the headquarters relocation, so I propose removing the current "Headquarters relocation" section, which is not needed or enough content to justify a standalone section.
Regarding the quality of the current section: the first 1st and 3rd paragraphs are entirely unsourced. The 2nd and 6th paragraphs are sourced by company websites. The 3rd paragraph is half unsourced, and the lone inline citation directs readers to a page that says, "404 PAGE NOT FOUND..." Reference #12 displays a Facebook URL. To summarize, sourcing is significantly subpar, so I've drafted a new version with appropriate sources. Additionally, the proposed draft removes some of the more trivial detail, such as the CEO's appearance on Undercover Boss. I removed mention of Bainum Sr.'s death, added mention of the company's new headquarters, included several documented hotel "firsts", and added information on the WoodSpring Suites acquisition and international expansion.
Finally, like the section above, this section also has "sandwiched" text, which should be avoided, per Wikipedia's manual of style. The draft page has 2 stacked images, which I uploaded to Wikimedia Commons on behalf of Choice Hotels. The images illustrate the Comfort and WoodSpring Suites brands, both of which are mentioned in the section's prose. Currently, the section has images for Quality Inn and Sleep Inn, which are not mentioned in the section's prose.
Please see my proposed replacement content here, which provides a better overview and more relevant facts about the company: User:Inkian_Jason/Choice_Hotels#Recent_history. I invite editors to review the suggested text and update the existing article appropriately.
I've rendered the text and provided markup below:
Choice Hotels began a transformation of its Comfort properties in 2012, with the company exiting 600 properties that did not meet the company's new standards. Choice Hotels rebranded Comfort in 2018, which brought its Comfort Inn, Comfort Inn & Suites, and Comfort Suites brands under one umbrella.
Choice Hotels International moved its headquarters from Silver Spring to the Rockville Town Center in Rockville, Maryland, in 2013.
Throughout its history, Choice Hotels has offered a number of hotel firsts. Among them, non-smoking rooms in every hotel, 24-hour-a-day toll-free reservations, Internet-based property management systems, and the hotel industry's first iPhone app. The company's technological developments also led it to create a division called SkyTouch Technology in 2013, which markets Choice Hotels' property management system to other hotel companies.
In 2014, Choice Hotels invested millions of dollars to begin a multi-year process to develop the industry's first new global reservations system and distribution platform in 27 years. A cloud-based system, choiceEDGE, launched in 2018. The system can integrate with voice search and artificial intelligence.
In 2018, Choice Hotels expanded the number of hotel brands it franchised by acquiring WoodSpring Suites, an extended-stay economy hotel brand. Adding WoodSpring's 240 hotels across the U.S. tripled the number of extended-stay hotels in the company's portfolio to around 350 properties.
, Choice Hotels-branded properties are located in more than 40 countries and territories, including hotels in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Scandinavia. Choice Hotels entered into an agreement with Spanish hotel operator Sercotel in 2018 to increase Choice's footprint in Spain and Latin America.

thread_title: "Recent history"

message: While I'm still looking to have the "Recent history" and "See also" sections added, I'd like to submit a final request for improving this article, this time addressing the infobox and introduction. My proposed infobox and lead can be seen here, and I'll outline changes below:
;Infobox
* The proposed infobox provides a source for the number of locations
* The proposed infobox provides the name of the chief financial officer
* The proposed infobox replaces the Products field with "Hotels and resorts" with the Brands field
* The proposed infobox provides sources for the Revenue, Net income, and Number of employees fields
Following is markup for the updated infobox:

;Introduction
* The proposed introduction calls the company a hospitality franchisor rather than a hospitality holding corporation
* The proposed introduction has an more complete list of hotel brands, based on the "Brands" section
* The proposed introduction has updated figures for the number of properties and rooms
Following is markup for the proposed introduction:
Choice Hotels International, Inc. is a hospitality franchisor based in Rockville, Maryland, United States. The company, which is one of the largest hotel chains in the world, owns several hotel brands ranging from upscale to economy, including the Ascend Hotel Collection, Cambria Hotels, Comfort, Sleep Inn, Quality Inn, Clarion, MainStay Suites, WoodSpring Suites, Suburban Extended Stay Hotel, Econo Lodge, and Rodeway Inn. It also owns Vacation Rentals by Choice Hotels. , Choice Hotels franchised 6,800 properties in about 40 countries and territories worldwide, with approximately 554,000 rooms.
