Copyright and advertising issues[edit]

Apart from a spelling fix (dependant -> dependent) and the removal of paragraph breaks, the sections about the History of the company and Composers published by the company appear to be word-for-word copies from History of G. Schirmer—which clearly displays the note "Copyright © 2006 G. Schirmer, Inc. and Associated Music Publishers, Inc." Since this could be a copyright violation, and one which I don't have time to fix right now, I'm bringing it to the attention of those with an interest in the article. A tag was recently added because of concerns about point of view and advertising style, so some expeditious rewriting should help to address all of these issues. —Error -128 (talk) 18:50, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No response, so I'm reverting the edits concerned. Please feel free to reintroduce any material, suitably rewritten to address the above issues. Thanks. Error -128 (talk) 01:56, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Those are legal entities that have chosen to remove their commas at their official websites. We wouldn't change "X Co." to "X Co" or to "X Company"; or "X Bros." to "X Brothers" for consistency, because it is not their legal name. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 02:31, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not a list of the composers published under the company. The current individuals named are a small representative group of prominent names (which I've just trimmed further). Prominent female composers such as Frank, Tower and Du Yun already appear here. Aza24 (talk) 16:49, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
