I have dispersed the criticism section to other parts of the article (per
WP:CRIT) but I am not convinced that it is an improvement. The history section is long and devoid of any themes e.g. acquisitions, management changes and media criticism. If anyone wants to have a go at this, please do so. Views welcome. Dormskirk (talk) 23:42, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply

History - grouping vs chronology
So, further to @Dormskirk's suggestion, I did an overhaul of history to group thematically, because chronology just becomes a horrible laundry list, and on an organisation with such complex history it just doesn't work, and the linkage between elements breaks - e.g. the acquisition vs disposal and so on.
I believe that this is the only way to structure history, and not saying it can't be improve upon, but @john_baost came and moved it to chronological.
I've reverted that, because I think it still doesn't work, so here we are on talk to discuss. OwainDavies(about)(talk) edited at 14:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
