message: Why not add a para on various crimes of company, its criticism and in humane imperialism? 2409:4043:4C8C:7B5E:0:0:3949:3D0E (talk) 14:35, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Various Crimes of Company 

message: It's hard to think of company that has created so much misery and death over so many centuries, across its drug running, colonialism and slavery. And, yes, it's still proudly trading. Its current strapline is "400 Years Of Cultural Impact". Unbelievable. It's worth the article noting that the masters of destruction did not see fit to slink off under a rock of their own shame but still sell tea. Anna (talk) 21:21, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Nonsense. The company you are referring to is a new company that has chosen to use the same name as the original company. Other than that, there is no connection between the two companies.Acad Ronin (talk) 22:20, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  The company is still trading  

message: The article states that "Parliament exempted [Henry] Every from all of the Acts of Grace (pardons) and amnesties it would subsequently issue to other pirates." However, no pirate was exempted from the 1717–1718 Acts of Grace: see that article's section on legal opinion. —AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 00:56, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

message: Only changing the title as there were other companies too. As British one was most significant, the page will redirect to the British one.Prinaki (talk) 15:58, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose. Rarely used in RS. There is a hatnote to East India Company (disambiguation), which is enough, especially if you think East India Company will still redirect here (which it might well not). This is much the most significant for an English-language audience, and the next most important, the Dutch East India Company (as here, not the correct name) is usually referred to as the "VOC" anyway.

replies: text: PS Also fading are the discussions on Robert Blackborne,   ...till from the garden and the wild a fresh association blow.  So thank you for bringing them back. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 23:53, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title change to [[British East India Company]] 

message: It is quite telling of the British that the default named East India Company would be that of the English, despite the fact that there were several other contemporaries of the same name in history. Stevenmitchell (talk) 11:22, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a section on this above. The English and Dutch were by far the biggest, & the Dutch (The United East India Company () is almost always called the "VOC" in sources, both in English and Dutch. So not very "telling", nor "Pretentious". Needless to say, neither used their nationality in their actual names. Johnbod (talk) 15:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  What a Pretentious Title 

message: Some time ago, there was information about the famines the EIC caused, how they seized control and looted the Indian subcontinent etc. Why was that removed?-Haani40 (talk) 14:51, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
