The business model of Empire Today should be mentioned in the main article. One of the most prominent features of Empire Today is that it is "middle-man" type of firm that provides television advertising in various markets and then subcontracts the work to local subcontractors.

That's a pretty bold claim. I think to post something like that you'd have to have an unbia sed news source to cite. A consumer complaint site like the one you listed is going to obviously be unfairly biased and not necessarily presenting facts so much as biased opinions based on having lost complaint arbitration by the Better Business Bureau or other organizations. Is there a news citation? Roadracer123 (talk) 13:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia tag
I notice the Trivia tag. It seems to suggest that Trivia lists should not be included in articles and instead such information should be included under applicable subject headings. However the tag has been placed in a subject area of the article (In Popular Culture) and is written in what appears to be proper article format (informative information in paragraph format, with appropriate citations). Does the Trivia tag really relate to this section? It seems to not be a trivia section at all. Arabel7 (talk) 21:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Gutters, etc.
Go into Google and enter "empire carpet" along with "gutter" and see what turns up. This is the first one I ran across. [1] Why they wouldn't also have it on their website, I couldn't say. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Unless, of course, they took it from wikipedia. >:( Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Eventually the lightbulb comes on. I called "1-800-588-2300 EMPIRE TODAY". No, I only called the number, not the last part. "We used to but we no longer do." That was a live voice telling me that. I also told them why I was asking, so if they check it later, my cover is blown. So be it. :) Anyway, they most definitely do NOT sell those products anymore.

- Thanks for doing the legwork to clarify that. Great work. Arabel7 (talk) 17:37, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
