Shouldn't this be called Jeld-Wen rather than JELD-WEN, per wikipedia's capitalisation policy? --Falcadore (talk) 07:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe so, because I've been unable to find any proof that it's an acronym or anything other than a stylistic choice. Somno (talk) 08:01, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

V8 Supercar Sponsorship

Jeld-Wen previously sponsored the #4 James Courtney Ford. Courtney has left the team and here is the announcement of the replacement driver and sponsor for the #4 Ford. --Falcadore (talk) 09:35, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Falcadore. Does this mean they no longer sponsor anyone in the Stone Brothers Racing Team at all? Somno (talk) 08:35, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
They may retain a low level of sponsorship somewhere but naming rights on the teams three cars belong to Irwin Tools (Davison), SP Tools (Van Gisbergen) and Fujitsu (Bright). Is a minor sponsorship (which may or may not exist) really worth mentioning?

Requested move

Jeld-WenJELD-WEN — JELD-WEN is in fact an acronym and the article title should reflect this. According to JELD-WEN, "Jeanette Coughlin thought of the name JELD-WEN, an acronym for the names of Dick's [JELD-WEN's founder's] immediate family, and a shortened version of Wendt [his last name]" (http://www.jeld-wen.com/about-jw/overview/history).
