message: The article needs a bit more history, particularly with respect to the (relatively) recent reorganization which put all of Bertelsmann's English-language publishing under the Random House umbrella.  The previous structure was more closely reflective of the way in which the publishers had merged.  121a0012 (talk) 05:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What about separating out the history from the "Random House US" section, so the structure would look more like "history and founding, "Random House US, (with a list of imprints and info about location)," "Random house in other locations," "List of subsidiaries"? -- phoebe / (talk) 19:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I cut this from the main text as it is rather slanted in language, and doesn't fit with the rest of the article -- also an uncited quote. Feel free to rewrite to be NPOV and source, and put back in. -- phoebe / (talk) 19:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: 'Three Rivers Press' trademark

message: I was just browsing articles and I noticed that this article states that Random House is the largest trade book publisher in the world. However, the article for Penguin Group (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguin_Group) clearly states in it's opening paragraph that it overtook Random House as the largest trade book publisher as of 2011. Therefore, if that claim can be verified, this article should be amended to read "Random House is the second largest trade book publisher in the world". Either that, or the claim in the Penguin Group article should be removed.

thread_title: Largest Trade Book Publisher?

message: The five-column display doesn't work. I don't know whether rearrangement in four columns is worthwhile or we(someone) should skip that and go directly to three.
The organization of this section needs to follow the primary organization above. For example, the International division/group/whatever needs to begin a new column, if not a new section below the U.S. --P64 (talk) 00:57, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: As a start I have improved the references "our publishers" and "permissions", which need to be used more carefully (or their use needs update because they have changed?). And I have rearranged in two subsections: Random House, U.S.A., in five columns all derived from former column one; Random House International, in four columns formerly columns two to five. --P64 (talk) 01:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: , , , 
The official website link is dead, presumably because it's now part of Penguin Random House. Following on from that presumably the redirect of Pimlico (publishing imprint) and Pimlico (publishing imprint), an imprint of publisher Random House to RH should now be to PRH and Pimlico Books included in the list of imprints there, and Pimlico Books at Random House edited (possibly including a link to Pimlico Books). I specifically mention Pimlico as it was the publisher of a book I found online but List of publishers also includes Harvill Press, Pantheon Books and Vintage Books also "at Random House". 
It seems more logical that "In 2019, Penguin Random House acquired British children's book publisher Little Tiger Group ..." should be in the PRH article.  
I wonder if some paragraphs in the Organization section would also be more appropriate in the PRH article. Even if not, tense changes and other edits may be needed. In any case it includes five "citation needed" tags. Mcljlm (talk) 09:43, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The website in the infobox functions fine. I just fixed the one in external links.  I'll look into the redirect question.  Keystone18 (talk) 09:47, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Company history updating will also need some actual research, probably in publications like Chronicle of Higher Education and other publishing-industry-watching periodicals.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  15:44, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
