Sadly unlikely as many of the IP edits would be unconstructive and it would take up a load of time removing them. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter etc are semiprotected for the same reason.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 05:01, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Needs a extensive rewrite

Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly-traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights. Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet. Our two classes of shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq as GOOGL and GOOG. http://googleblog.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/google-alphabet.html

Google is now owned by Alphabet, Inc. Add that to Google's parent organization. Sources: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/google-alphabet.html RobertWebb38 (talk) 02:27, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Already done -- Chamith (talk) 03:35, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Google Died?

Just because Google is now a subsidiary of Alphabet does NOT mean Google is defunct. It means it's still there, but owned by a different company. Please remove the false "Defunct" thingy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:8C00:EE:8038:A7DD:CA19:6455 (talk) 04:03, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Some people have been rushing to kill off Google on the basis of news reports. The change to ownership by Alphabet has not taken place yet and the article should make this clear.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 05:10, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Alphabet

The change of ownership by Alphabet is ongoing and this article needs to be updated to reflect that. The stock swap hasn't happened yet. Don't post future and present events as past events unless you have reliable sources that the changes have already happened. Tcrow777 ^Talk 06:22, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

This whole thing is confusing. I wonder for which articles this new ownership is going to affect. Do we have to change the |parent parameter of every single article concerning Google subsidiaries? Because, as some sources point out some subsidiaries will continue to remain as a part of Google. Such as Youtube -- Chamith (talk) 06:34, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
