Logo Design

This section states that the logo font is Spencerian Script, whereas the Spencerian Script page states that it is in fact copperplate. Dodgygoth (talk) 22:40, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

That was an error that introduced original research in contradiction to the cited reliable source. It has been reverted.oknazevad (talk) 04:32, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Cuba and North Korea

The first sentence "Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants, and vending machines in every country except Cuba and North Korea" is incorrect. Coca Cola is freely available (as a grey import) in stores and restaurants in Cuba. We can source that.

We can also source it for North Korea.

Our source puts the point in terms of "countries in which Coca-Cola does not sell its products". Which is accurate: Coca-Cola does not sell its products in Cuba or North Korea. But our claim is wider - we claim that nobody else sells Coke in Cuba either.

I have written up a proposed change in the article, to make it clearer exactly what the claim is: specifically, I have made the first sentence a little vaguer ("throughout the world") and moved the detail of the claim to a separate section. Since the role of the lede is to summarise the article, I think this is better than trying to explain the point in detail in the lede. Kahastok talk 18:17, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks much for clearing that up. Others have claimed that Coke was sold in Cuba, but couldn't show us sources to verify that. See Talk:Coca-Cola/Archive 8#Coke is sold in Cuba. – Wbm1058 (talk) 20:27, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Charley

Who the hell is Charley? He turns up without any mention of who he is — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.65.93.168 (talk) 08:04, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Good catch. Charley (or Charles Pemberton) is John's son. I have updated the article. Hoof Hearted (talk) 15:06, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

The middle name of the inventor is Stith, as in John Stith Pemberton. Link: https://wikis.nyu.edu/ek6/modernamerica/index.php/AmericanPowerAmpCulturalHegemony/AmericanBusinessAbroad#anchor3

Thank You! I just care that much. 69.65.66.13 (talk) 00:22, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Not done: Wikipedia's article on John Pemberton does include his middle name. I don't think it's necessary to add it here. --ElHef (Meep?) 01:02, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
