where is the info from the Bed Bath Beyond article?[edit]

Overstock.com was operating before it bought Bed Bath Beyond assets om 6/23/2023: archive.ph//g60n2 I think that should be made clear.

There should be a paragraph further down the article that explains that. BBB was a successful company so to have that article page trashed I think is wrong. 2601:152:C00:67B0:6D0F:5BD:1CA6:E2B (talk) 09:54, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would be in favor of a separate article about the now closed former brick and mortar retailer BBB. I assume could be reconstructed from archives, perhaps as noted above. I SEE that there is a separate article differentiating the BBB "Inc" from BBB online. Does that already incorporate the archived material sufficiently? I agree the point of referring to that, perhaps in introductory materials. Csp-interest (talk) 14:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see these issues are largely already taken care of. How do I delete this comment? Csp-interest (talk) 14:23, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk pages[edit]

The articles titled Bed Bath & Beyond (aka Bed Bath & Beyond (big-box retailer)) and Bed Bath & Beyond (online retailer) are about different companies, but Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond (online retailer) redirects to here (Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond). I don't know the topic well enough to work out which comments on this talk page, and its archive, apply to which company. Please can a subject expert sort them out so each article has its own talk page as normal? Certes (talk) 22:47, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@20:35, 11 October 2023 162 etc. moved page Bed Bath & Beyond to Bed Bath & Beyond (online retailer) over redirect (No consensus to make this the primary topic.)

@22:32, 11 October 2023 Estar8806 moved page Bed Bath & Beyond (big-box retailer) to Bed Bath & Beyond (Requested by 162 etc. at WP:RM/TR: Undiscussed. This has been bounced around a few times, but should stay primary topic until a discussion happens)

@12:56, 12 October 2023 Jesse Viviano moved page Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond to Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond (online retailer) over redirect (Follow the moved article)

@12:58, 12 October 2023 Jesse Viviano moved page Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond (big-box retailer) to Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond (Follow the moved article.)

Appears to be sorted out now. Fortunately we still have a handful of competent admins who can clean up after incompetent page movers. – wbm1058 (talk) 03:40, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds a bit like an attack but a deserved one at that. Don't know how that page got moved without the talk, same thing happened at Coup! around the same time (I can't possibly think of how I would've unchecked move associated talk, but I digress). Glad there are "competent" admins who can clean up. Though I resent the implication of "incompetence" from taking an incident or two as one's entire track record, this certainly would've warranted a trouting. estar8806 (talk) ★ 03:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Estar8806: see User talk:Wbm1058#Oops. Part of the problem is with the community kicking out old administrators because they have become "out-of-touch" and are unfamiliar with current practices and recent changes, like say, a bug that was first reported in 2007 that the developers say is a desired feature, not a bug, and have made a "low" priority – meaning, if ya want it done, ya gotta do it urself! So page movers need to be aware of this bug, and manually work around it, until it's fixed. Don't take this personally – you are one of many, some of whom are administrators! wbm1058 (talk) 13:38, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wbm1058 I appreciate this. I appreciate you pointing the bug out, I was totally unaware of it and completely confused. Thank you for clearing up that confusion. estar8806 (talk) ★ 17:26, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 13:31, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request to separate Bed Bath and Beyond from the Beyond page[edit]

Beyond is now parent to Bed Bath Beyond and the relaunched Overstock, so it's not doing business as just Bed Bath and Beyond. 108.54.96.167 (talk) 02:40, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
