Criticism section

I have dispersed the criticism section to other parts of the article (per WP:CRIT) but I am not convinced that it is an improvement. The history section is long and devoid of any themes e.g. acquisitions, management changes and media criticism. If anyone wants to have a go at this, please do so. Views welcome.

History - grouping vs chronology

So, further to @Dormskirk's suggestion, I did an overhaul of history to group thematically, because chronology just becomes a horrible laundry list, and on an organisation with such complex history it just doesn't work, and the linkage between elements breaks - e.g. the acquisition vs disposal and so on.

I believe that this is the only way to structure history, and not saying it can't be improve upon, but @john_baost came and moved it to chronological.

I've reverted that, because I think it still doesn't work, so here we are on talk to discuss. OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 14:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Black - incorrect categorization

Under both Diageo#Non-alcoholic expansion and Diageo#Brands, Mr Black coffee liqueur is listed as a non-alcoholic brand. This is incorrect, all Mr Black products are alcoholic beverages (liqueurs, broadly), and should be included under the correct headings. 2603:3024:1DB9:4100:341F:7FAF:8D58:981 (talk) 00:39, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you think something is wrong, you should WP:BEBOLD and fix it, especially if you can cite a reliable source. – notwally (talk) 01:26, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
