Talk:PepsiCo

message: I removed the biased reference, now showing that PepsiCo started a collaboration with Senomyx. The middle of the section the reference is not bias, it is showing that groups did boycott, and that PepsiCo responded but, less on the response more on that groups did call for a boycott. Also the section doesn't take a stance on the moral or ethical implications of this. Though this section and the following might be better in a new heading like on subways page titled "Controversies."  Navstev0 (talk) 20:29, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite your claims, the section is biased. The addition has absolutely no reference to a single reliable source. Further, the mention of the boycott still requires a reason why the boycott was raised in the first place, which is circular because there still needs to be mention of the original biased allegations to support the boycott. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 08:15, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

text: Oh, so your telling me that a PepsiCo press release is bias? Then please tell me what is unbiased in historical research? "reliable source" Also please tell me what sources are reliable. Because the sources I had were so. The section was flagged for neutrality, removal without resolutions was unwarranted and argumentative. Support the boycott came from pro-life groups, you can't call it biased if they are the ones reporting there own boycott. I am putting it back until you can tell me why my sources are unreliable, each one please. Navstev0 (talk) 22:14, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

text: I am not a normal editor of this page, but do believe Wikipedia can be a great place. But hiding facts for corporations shouldn't be the goal. I see plenty of other pages that on Wikipedia that state these controversial facts. Why should PepsiCo be any different? 22:50, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

text: Not done:Sorry for the really long paragraph but I can't figure out how to separate them and yet appear as one response.  Part of the flaw of this section is the fundamental issue: the accusation of using embryonic cells in research.  Any use of embryonic cells is an extraordinarily contentious issue, so the very mention of it should raise red flags about possible neutrality problems.  But that in itself shouldn’t necessarily be grounds for removing the whole section.  However, this section references a source from LifeNews.com, which positions itself on the far side of the pro-life debate.  That is another red flag for neutrality problems.  The article used in the reference also strikes a polarized tone with language like “cells from babies victimized by abortions”.  Again, not neutral.  The bulk of the section also seems poorly written, as if PepsiCo themselves are accused of doing the contentious research.  Who can re-write this with a neutral tone, because at this time it doesn’t have one.  Also, to the user “Navstev0”: you’re not helping your case.  When other editors have removed this section, you’ve been one of the people that has been restoring it.  My problem with that is the comment you used earlier today: “Dang wiki nazi.”  You’re not helping your neutrality argument when you call someone a Nazi. --MikeUMA (talk) 04:04, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize for the commit stated “Dang wiki nazi.” My stance on the comment was that my section was removed even though it was stated that there was a talk, and the user didn't participate in the talk other then telling me that I was biased with no direction as to what gave those conclusions. I see your point, on the tone from the reference to the LifeNews article, I will attempt to rewrite the section  from a more neutral stance. Navstev0 (talk) 05:56, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

text: I rewrote the entire middle portion to be more neutral, and changed the reference to only show that there was a boycott issued, as any further information was considered to have a polarized tone. Navstev0 (talk) 06:21, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

message: From the article, I copied the following sentence: "PepsiCo also distributes the soft drink 7UP in Europe via license agreement."
The above statement about distribution is news to me because I live in the UK, where Pepsi and Mountain Dew are distributed under licence by Britvic Soft Drinks Ltd., making it more than likely that they're sub-licenced to distribute 7UP as well.

message: We have a large article on criticism of Coca-Cola but this article on PepsiCo didn't even have a criticism section. I notice some of the criticism is present in other sections (about environment or nutrition). I do wonder if we don't have a PR shill problem (is there someone on PepsiCo's payroll removing negative content from this article...?). We certainly do need an article on criticism of PepsiCo.

thread_title:  Needs more on criticism 

message: The line, "PepsiCo re-negotiated a US$3 billion deal to exchange syrup for vodka and a small fleet of decommissioned Soviet warships including 17 submarines, a frigate, a cruiser and a destroyer," doesn't seem right. From several sources, including some of the ones cited here, it seems that the $3 billion deal in 1990 was something else entirely or that the flotilla was only a small part of the deal, so there seems to be a conflating of events. Here's another article  about it. There seems to be so much misinformation about this that it's difficult to tell what's true and isn't. SonOfPlisskin (talk) 22:07, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @SonOfPlisskin , I think. As you said, there is so much misinformation on this dead that seems to be based on (formerly) reliable sources reporting on facts presented in YouTube videos without further fact checking. As far as I can tell, the 20 ships were part of a 1989 deal that also included two much more valuable (and operating) oil tankers, while the $3 billion deal was for 85 ships over 10 years. I updated the article the best I could. --Ahecht (TALKPAGE) 16:18, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Soviet Union section 

message: In the Soviet Union section of the page on the very last line it claims that the deal for the old navy vessels did not take place, however both links that are listed as sources (57, 58) say that the deal DID go through. This seems to be a contradiction. Wyattshumaker (talk) 02:28, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: The deal that included "decommissioned Soviet warships including 17 submarines, a frigate, a cruiser and a destroyer" is the one that fell through.  The renegotiated deal included a fleet of obsolete and decrepit Whiskey-class Soviet submarines, already planned to be scrapped by the Soviets, which were sent directly to a Norwegian scrapyard.  The article is correct and supported by its sources as written. General Ization Talk   03:09, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The deal that fell through was for 85 ships over 10 years, per the Foreign Policy article. --Ahecht (TALKPAGE) 16:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
