GE weapons

[edit]

Should we put something about GE's weapons? GE has made the M61 Vulcan and M134 Minigun. DJRaph (talk) 18:40, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GE Healthcare Spinoff

[edit]

With the completion of the GE Healthcare spin-off on Jan 4th, 2022, what changes should be made to reflect this change? I propose that we move the divisions that have been spun-off from the "subsidiary" list to the "Successor" category. When GE Vernova and GE Aerospace are split-up next year, they will be added to the category as well with their own pages while making this page historical.

Feedback for such a change would be appreciated,

I agree with this. GE Aerospace is a successor to General Electric so it should be a separate page and the GE page should then go to using past tense with three successors. Tfkalk (talk) 03:59, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GE Vernova spinoff

[edit]

Since GE Vernova will be trading soon, I have prepared a draft for the page. WiinterU (talk) 14:13, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About time. I don’t know why anyone else wasn’t doing anything about it. Good job. 320th Century (talk) 17:24, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you WiinterU (talk) 18:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General Electric: The Century-Old Octopus

[edit]

Crazy how this company’s products ranged from machine guns, to washing machines, from light bulbs, to Broadcasting networks, to Football helmets,

and Nuclear energy. 320th Century (talk) 18:56, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General Electric successor GE Aerospace

Since General Electric will be succeeded by GE Aerospace, we will have to update these pages to reflect that.

Yeah. 320th Century (talk) 11:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that's correct; at least based on reading the SEC filings this week, General Electric Company is still the legal name of the company, "GE Aerospace" is just a dba. Furthermore, the rump GE is the owner/licensor of the "GE" word mark and the GE monogram trademark, collecting licensing revenue from GEV, GEHC, and other past spinoffs. 207.180.169.36 (talk) 16:24, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There generally has to be a legal successor, for a variety of reasons. However, we don't always get so deep into the legal weeds. We can note the strict legalities in the main text, and in notes in the infobox. BilCat (talk) 19:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Something like GE is never legally gone. It had too many legal tentacles. 320th Century (talk) 22:48, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
GE is defunct. Since there is already a page for GE Aerospace, we will be using that. WiinterU 00:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I know that. Again, it isn’t gone on paper. 320th Century (talk) 02:17, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The original company is gone on paper. GE Aerospace is the legal successor. WiinterU 17:29, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I came to the same conclusion as the IP user when I read the SEC filing (haven't looked for a secondary source). The GE spin-offs are basically demergers, with the "surviving" company being rebranded to GE Aerospace. A somewhat recent and similar example would be the Kellogg Company: WK Kellogg Co. was the spin-off company and the surviving company rebranded to Kellanova. In that case, the legal name of Kellogg Company actually changed to Kellanova though. In this case, the legal name still remains as General Electric and only the dba name has changed (to GE Aerospace). In any case, any future business activity should only be updated in the spin-off (GEHC and GEV) and surviving company (GE Aerospace) pages, and not here.

Political influence

[edit]

What about a section on world wide influence and the companies it controlled indirectly? 86.174.43.48 (talk) 17:27, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you provide an example of this? —Panamitsu (talk) 22:32, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An example from reliable sources, preferably in-depth coverage. BilCat (talk) 22:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
