message: Alibaba Group, China's biggest e-commerce firm, is no longer engaged in the business of allowing sellers of shark fins to list their products on its platforms. Alibaba Group banned the sale of shark fin on its platforms as of January 1, 2009.  
Environmentalists, ocean lovers and a growing world-wide scuba diving community who were aware of the decision applauded Alibaba for the ban.  
Yahoo! has a US$1 billion stake in Alibaba representing a 40% shareholding.
Activist groups, thousands of petitioning individuals from all over the world and media organizations had approached both Alibaba and Yahoo! to induce them to drop the shark fin trade. The conclusion of internationally renowned marine experts is that the indiscriminate mass killing of well over one hundred million sharks per year, mostly for their fins, is driving many species into extinction with catastrophic consequences for the biodiversity of the world's oceans.

message: Yellowcake is not raw uranium ore; it is processed uranium ore.  It is not illegal to possess raw uranium ore, which, according to Wikipedia, is "weakly radioactive" and emits only alpha particles (helium nuclei) rather than the more serious gamma rays.  Patrick Campbell was not arrested for smuggling, nor for possession of uranium; he was charged with knowingly brokering goods (yellowcake, in this case) destined for Iran.  Most of this is irrelevant to Alibaba: I removed the misleading reference to the concealment of uranium in Campbell's shoes. C. Cerf (talk) 22:54, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

message: This page lists Alibaba's revenue as $56bn but states "Its online sales and profits surpassed all US retailers (including Walmart, Amazon, and eBay) combined since 2015." yet on Walmart's page, revenue is listed as $514bn. The reference also restates this point but it seems entirely nonsensical.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.129.101.143 (talk) 20:02, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

message: I believe there to be an error in section 3.6
In December 2015, Alibaba agreed to acquire the South China Morning Post and other media assets belonging to the group for a consideration of $266 million. Although Alibaba promised editorial independence, vice-chairman Joseph Tsai said that Alibaba believes that "the world needs a plurality of views when it comes to China coverage. China's rise as an economic power and its importance to world stability is too important for there to be a singular thesis." The acquisition attracted media concerns over what this would mean for the newspaper's coverage.
I don't see how an Alibaba vice-chairman assuring the South Chhina Morning Post will keep publishing articles with views that don't follow the rules of typical articles from the mainland is something that could attract concern for the newspaper's future coverage, since that's already what the newspaper was doing.
Could someone fix this? Right now it doesn't make sense that this statement would have attracted media concerns, it must've been about something else.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.134.78.214 (talk) 15:51, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
