Talk:Hudson's Bay Company

message: Hello. I am Alexandra, and I am requesting the following edits to move some content from the Introduction into the 21st century section, as well as add new content with sources, also to the 21st century section.
#Please move the following two sentences from the Introduction and place them as a second paragraph in the 21st century section. The sentences are more appropriate as part of the body of the article and not the type of information found in the Introduction:  
#*"It had been a member of the International Association of Department Stores from 2001 to 2005."
#* "The company's namesake business division is Hudson's Bay, commonly referred to as The Bay (La Baie in French)."
#Please move the following sentence, with a minor edit, from the Intro to the beginning of the second paragraph (the paragraph that begins with "On 26 January 2006, the HBC's board...") in the 21st century section. It is also better placed in the body of the article than in the Introduction. It is clear from the context that the company is no longer Canadian owned so we can also remove the second half of that sentence: "In 2006, an American businessman, Jerry Zucker, bought HBC for US$1.1 billion." 
#In the third paragraph of the 21st century section, after the words "On 16 July 2008, the company was sold" please add the phrase "for slightly higher than US$1.1 billion  "
#Add the following to the end of the fourth paragraph in the 21st century section: "In March 2020, Baker and a group of shareholders were successful in taking the company private. "
Thank you very much for all your help, Alexandra for HBC (talk) 17:43, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

replies: text:  Partly done:  Hi. Went out on a limb and implemented some of this, hope it's OK, . I find The second sentence ("La Baie", etc) us relevant for the lede. Furthermore, I tweaked your second request, as the share price was unreferenced anyway, but I believe my edits should satisfy the theme of the request. PK650 (talk) 07:38, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for doing this! It's more than ok. Life took over (ie COVID) and I didn't get around to this. Please feel free to take this over while I admire your handiwork. It's a privilege to meet you and I hope we cross paths again :)  MaskedSinger (talk) 16:24, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

message: I feel that the fact that Michigan's flag has an elk and moose from the Hudson Bay Company's coat of arms should be included somewhere, but the location it should be is a mystery to me. 173.64.103.212 (talk) 20:59, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This is highly dubious for a couple reasons. (1) No part of Michigan was ever part of the HBC's territory. (2) The HBC coat of arms has neither an elk nor a moose. It has four beavers, a squirrel and "two bucks", i.e. male deer. Indefatigable (talk) 23:59, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
