Should there be any mention that in the film Frequency the character Gordo gets a second chance at becoming wealthy by investing in Yahoo! stock while it was affordable?

I don't see it menntioned in film Frequency?Ottawahitech (talk) 00:47, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merger Proposal

I propose that Yahoo! Green be merged into Yahoo!. I think that the content in the Yahoo Green article can easily be explained in the context of Yahoo!, and the Yahoo! article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of Yahoo! Green will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Fumitol|talk|cont 02:46, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It is a one line article as of now. It is better off as part of the main page. ChiragPatnaik (talk) 04:45, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree. It would be best conviniently merged into that same page.

Agrred As well would be a good thing and its part of yahoo right ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.237.224.42 (talk) 15:05, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree.CurlyPop88 (talk) 19:47, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the main article is already way too cluttered. Ottawahitech (talk) 00:42, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree because if the article is about Yahoo! then it should include all information about Yahoo!, unless the article become extremely long. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DK3535 (talk • contribs) 19:38, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. The article is far too short to be worthwhile on its own. Could be included as a short paragraph/sentence on the main Yahoo! article. The fact that the main Yahoo! page is cluttered is an argument for de-cluttering that page, not an argument against merging this one. GintyFrench^(talk!) 14:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Death and the Internet

Just wondering why Yahoo! has no section on the page Death and the Internet? Ottawahitech (talk) 15:23, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Employee layoffs

As reported by Wired, Yahoo! has just announced the layoff of some two thousand staff. Should this be added to employee stats? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.162.33 (talk) 16:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Error message trying to access Yahoo's press room

I get the following message when I try to access the pressroom (see external links at article page):

The web site you are accessing has experienced an unexpected error.

Please contact the website administrator.

Anyone else? Ottawahitech (talk) 16:26, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did a search for Yahoo Press Room, and got a different site. Updated external links to reflect this. swinquest (talk) 16:40, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Swinquest. It's good you found another type of press room for Yahoo, however the one I had put in is the one Yahoo uses to communicate with shareholders in their language. Ottawahitech (talk) 22:52, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow the Yahoo! shareholder website still malfunctions? Ottawahitech (talk) 14:55, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
