This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Google was one of the Engineering and technology good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

This article was selected as the article for improvement on 28 February 2022 for a period of one week.

Edit that says Google is an "United States-based company".

I elect to undo this wording as it is not consistent with the rest of Wikipedia's pages on Silicon Valley companies and other American multinationals. Googles own parent, Alphabet inc, uses the term "American multinational", as does Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Symantec, Broadcom, Intel, AMD General Motors, Ford, Facebook, Twitter, and etc. Taking this into account, it does not make sense to undo consistency and change the wording. Otherwise, we should then change it for the rest of Silicon Valley's thousands of companies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sciophobiaranger (talk • contribs) 18:05, July 16, 2020 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Project Nimbus into Google#Project Nimbus

This doesn't need to be its own article. ZimZalaBim ^talk 16:46, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a $1.2 billion project involving Google, Amazon, and other companies involving a radical restructuring of the Israeli government's operations. It clearly deserves it's own article. It also has its own article on WP:HE. إيان (talk) 16:52, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm withdrawing this merge proposal. I misunderstood the project (it is not just Google). But I do think that article has different issues that I'll address elsewhere. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 17:32, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
