Asking to update infobox logo[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi again! I'd like to ask that the company's official wordmark logo be added to the infobox, replacing the photo of the Arctic Program patch that currently resides in that space. I've uploaded the logo to Wikimedia Commons under fair use. Follow this link and you should see it.

I think this is a fairly straightforward request, but if there's anything else I need to do, please let me know! Canada Goose Isabella (talk) 17:53, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Suggesting Products section as Marketing replacement[edit]

Hello there! This article has a flag on it that says it "contains content that is written like an advertisement." I've been thinking about how to fix that problem. Perhaps we should remove the Marketing section? A lot of the content there strikes me as promotional in tone, and less than encyclopedic. I suggest that Marketing be replaced with a Products section that's less about Canada Goose's branding and more about the goods it manufactures and sells. I've composed a Products draft below, which independent editors are free to review:

Products section draft
Canada Goose manufactures winter clothing, including coats, parkas, knitwear, hats, gloves and footwear.^[1]^[2] Its longest-running products are heavy winter coats lined with goose down, which are meant to keep the wearer warm in freezing temperatures.^[3]^[4] These coats have been worn by researchers in the United States Antarctic Program and in dogsledding events such as the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest ^[5]^[6] In 2011, as an anti-counterfeiting measure, Canada Goose began sewing hologram trademarks into its jackets as proof of authenticity.^[7] In November 2018, the company acquired the bootmaker Baffin. In November 2021, Canada Goose launched its first-ever footwear collection.^[8]^[9] References ^ Onita, Laura (November 17, 2021).

I noticed that User:BarrelProof made a bunch of helpful edits to the article about a week ago. Just alerting them to this proposal, in case they would like to weigh in on it. Thanks, Canada Goose Isabella (talk) 16:58, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Canada Goose Isabella: Personally, I find most of the proposed section to be fine. However, if the proposal involves entirely replacing the marketing section, I believe it would be beneficial to incorporate certain elements from the existing marketing section into your proposal. Specifically, retaining details about the red circle would be beneficial as it is a prominent element of the brand. I should note though that the information about the red badge should be drawn from the two citations within the article, rather than the existing content, as that content extrapolates beyond what is written in those citations.

I also believe that the anti-counterfeiting sentence would fit more in the counterfeiting section. That said, if the proposed changes are implemented, I feel it would be suitable to reformat the counterfeiting section into a subsection of the product section, given that it concerns the counterfeiting of products.

Also, the sentence on the US Antarctic and dog sledding makes me wonder if that would be more appropriately placed in the history section, seeing as how it is briefly mentioned in that section's first paragraph. That said, I'm not really attached to that thought as I feel it can be appropriately placed in both, so I'd be more than willing to discuss that with yourself or other editors if people disagree with that.

Canada Goose (clothing) → Canada Goose – Move over redirect per WP:SMALLDETAILS. "Canada goose" is a bird; "Canada Goose" is a clothing manufacturer. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oppose move, but have "Canada Goose" be a disambiguation page between the goose and the clothing company. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:16, 10 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose. Canada goose gets about 40K pageviews a month. Canada Goose (clothing) gets about ~~650~~ 8600 pageviews a month. This isn't even close. The header notes are more than sufficient; there's not even a good reason to have a dab page. Risker (talk) 00:04, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose - The bird is by far the primary topic. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:35, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Per encyclopedic accuracy, are you sure everybody's heard? Randy Kryn (talk) 14:39, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oppose. The overwhelmingly more common search target for the string "Canada Goose" is the bird, because of the over-capitalization habit common to most (though not all) ornithoscopic and ornithological publications. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 10:48, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose. DIFFCAPS does not apply to cases like this one. The important thing is not just to automatically give things like this the base name if the related topic is at a different capitalisation, but to determine what the primary topic for the proposed name. In this case, it is absurd to suggest that this obscure clothing manufacturer is the primary topic for the term Canada Goose, and if read correctly, the WP:DIFFCAPS guideline does not require or advise us to do so. — Amakuru (talk) 11:22, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose per SMcCandlish. Indeed, a few years ago, Wikipedia's own article naming conventions contained an exception to use uppercase for the names of bird and butterfly species, since specialist literature tends to use caps. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:41, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Weak oppose the bird has 30,415 views compared with 11,337 for the company. As noted above species are commonly capitalized so I don't think this would have been like say Red Meat where the meat is rarely capitalized. However I would agree with Paintspot and move Canada Goose (disambiguation) to the base name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:54, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

For future reference, I just went through and fixed links to Canada Goose and changed them to either Canada goose or Canada Goose (clothing). There were six intended for the bird and two for the clothing brand. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 23:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Asking to add new image[edit]

The requested edits backlog is very low. There are currently 44 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

Hi again! I'd like to ask about adding a new photo to the page, potentially to replace the photo of the Canada Goose products showing the logo. The new image shows part of the sewing process at the Toronto Canada Goose factory. I've uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons and worked through the process to make sure it is appropriately released. If you go to this link you should see it.

Thank you in advance for looking at this and if anything else is needed for the image, please let me know! Canada Goose Isabella (talk) 20:51, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't think this is a good idea. All four of the current images show the Canada Goose logo, and we really don't need another photo that focuses entirely on the logo. An image of the actual manufacturing process might be more useful (e.g., how the fill is added to the coats, the process of obtaining and managing the fur, etc). Risker (talk) 01:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree with the sentiment that a better image of the manufacturing process would be preferred. But I disagree that it isn't a "good image to use" simply because of the prominence of the logo (also, at least in my own opinion, only one/two of the images in the article place prominence on that).

This article presently has five images, three of which focus on storefronts (two just being entrances), and only two of which abide by MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE guidelines concerning the article's actual content. I'd argue this image is much more relevant than the two storefront entrance images, as that actually (somewhat) depicts content that is written in the article (the Toronto production facility). Also, just for variety's sake, we could surely swap out one of those entrance images in place of this one... Leventio (talk) 04:04, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I went ahead and added the following image, as well as another storefront image that is more relevant to the article's actual content. On a related note, I've also removed the non-relevant/decorative images that were previously in this article. If there is any contention with the use of the image provided by Canada Goose Isabella, feel free to revert so we can discuss it here. Leventio (talk) 22:04, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
