message: OneSight is not mentioned in Wikipedia's article for Luxottica. This could be a small edit and/or OneSight could have it's own page on Wikipedia as well. Marycontrary (talk) 20:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Information on Luxottica's shareholders 

message: I think a criticism section regarding Luxoticca's near monopoly on sunglasses and eyeglasses is in order. Maybe monopoly is putting it too over the top, but there is at least a duopoly in the glasses market. Suggestions, ideas?Jr991999 (talk) 15:23, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Not sure if you have caught this yet, but someone sneaked in a personal attack that needs to be removed:
"Del Vecchio had contracted a severe case of "Jungle Fever" by 1969 and could no longer operate without sastifying his demonic desires. He has been accused of sucking the life force out of over 5,000 Haitian children via oral sex."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.224.64 (talk) 18:53, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Personal attack 

message: This edit changed several numbers in the article. For example, €7,313 million was changed to €7,313 billion.
:
I think we're looking at a case of varying uses of commas and periods in numbers. 7,313 million generally means 7,313,000,000 (seven thousand three hundred thirteen million = over 7 billion). The edit seems to be using the comma as a decimal indicator (7 point 313 billion). Please refer to WP:DECIMAL.
:
Luxottica did not have revenue of €7.3 trillion (roughly US$8.3 trillion). For comparison, ExxonMobil (a substantially larger company) reports revenue of US$407 billion. Additionally, the source cited clearly states "Net income was also up 20% over 2011, reaching Euro 542 million", a realistic figure against revenue of 7 billion (absurdly low against revenue of 7 trillion). - SummerPhD (talk) 17:32, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The lead of the Luxottica article currently states:
: In January 2017, Luxottica announced a merger with Essilor [...]
And the lead of the Essilor article states:
: In January 2017 Essilor announced a combination with Italian eyewear giant Luxottica [...]
It is not clear from this as to which company acquired the other.
Also, shouldn't the infobox of one of them contain a "Fate" line, stating "Acquired by ____ in 2018"? 96.22.66.24 (talk) 20:44, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Wholeheartedly agree with these arguments, that, 1) this Wiki article should definitively mention - ideally up in the top-right corner's InfoBox - which company acquired/bettored the other, and 2) the Wikipedia page "Fate" line should be added and would state, "Aquired by.." for whichever of the two technically was acquired. -- Along these lines, my suggestion is below!

thread_title:  Who bought whom? 

message: Pretty much what I wrote in Headline above. Any agree'ers?? This page Luxottica should AUTO-redirect to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EssilorLuxottica - Thanks for reading this far! Vid2vid (talk) 05:47, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi,  the transaction between Essilor and Luxottica is neither an acquisition nor a merger, it’s a “combination”. After few technical steps, the process ended up in forming a parent company named EssilorLuxottica, which holds 100% of the share capital of the two operating companies, Essilor International and Luxottica Group. --Federica Lusenti (talk) 15:13, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: on top of this, the two companies have storied histories. Unless you want to do the same thing as what we did with ExxonMobil and create a joint history page (see History of ExxonMobil), this merger aint gonna happen anytime soon.

thread_title:  Shouldn't this Luxottica page auto-redirect to EssilorLuxottica ?? 

message: Perhaps this history should make its way into the article but it appears to me that Luxottica has been listed at different exchanges over the years and since the ownership/structure change in 2017 hasn't been listed independently.
NYSE:LUX
(as per infobox now)
BIT:LUX
Perhaps we should update/remove the information in the infobox.
=== or how about fold it into history section? ===
I agree with you the stock numbers are to variable to be in this article. But, perhaps the historical numbers cited (the only numbers that we have) can be useful context about ownership and put into the history section? I made some small edits to the "Major shareholders" section to make it up to date, but was thinking it should be either reformatted into a paragraph style in the History section, or just move the section to immediately follow after History?
Maybe the history should be updated to include some post EssilorLuxottica merger updates? Or maybe this article should be merged, as suggested below? I don't know enough about the topic. Rusl (talk) 22:22, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

message: The line "With its merger with Essilor in 2018 the company owns Coastal/Clearly, an online contacts and glasses retail giant bought in 2014 that ships to over 200 countries beside its original North American market." need some citation given that there's fewer than 200 countries recognized by the UN. Unless they're shipping to every recognized country plus a few others, this number doesn't seem correct.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:57F:9D3A:91BF:A91:CE4E:759F (talk) 20:11, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
