Redirect

Gd could also mean Gadolinium, (and as mentioned, GD Graphics Library). So is the redirect from GD really a good idea here? Fayefox 10:27, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

The redirect is no longer here, as GD now points to a disambiguation page. Removed the redirect notice. --KJRehberg 18:02, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:General Dynamics logo.PNG

Image:General Dynamics logo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

List of Organizations/Contracts?

Has anyone considered whether discussing or listing various GD-held contracts are? I am new to Wikipedia editing, but thought that htis might be helpful to people researching GD.Dc3tech 18:37, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Footnotes

This article has several general references in the References section. But it has very few inline references. That's why the tag is at the top of the article. A footnote to International Directory of Company Histories, Volume 40 would be like <ref>Pederson 2001, p. page.</ref> or <ref>Pederson 2001, pp. pages.</ref>. Actual footnote exmapled can be seen in F-15 Eagle and General Dynamics F-111 articles. -Fnlayson (talk) 19:50, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Charles Goodman

The architect Charles Goodman who died in 1992 has been incorrectly linked to this page as being Charles Goodman a director of the company who is very much still alive. Could someone please remove the link? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.83.160.132 (talk • contribs)

Elco

Where is the Electric Launch Company? That article claims: At the end of the war the company merged with its sister company Electric Boat to form the nucleus of a new corporation General Dynamics. Here no word about it.--WerWil (talk) 11:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC).

SACO Defense

This is yet another of the companies that redirect to the General Dynamics article which has no information. Just saying that XXXXX company was acquired by General Dynamics in YEAR is essentially useless. N4aof (talk) 20:49, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

OTS & ATP Merger

I can't edit this page. Can somebody please update the page to reflect the merger Ordinance and Tactical System and Armament and Technical Products.

Submarines?

The article provided an interesting history of GD’s aerospace business.

There is also the history of its pre-World War I submarine business but not much mention of subsequent submarine work in the century since.

Should that be included in this article, too? Seems like an important part of the company’s story. —107.77.232.166 (talk) 22:58, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Updates to the General Dynamics article

Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of General Dynamics, a company I have declared my COI. The article is rated C class across the six Wikipedia projects, giving a lot of room for improvement. To start, I noticed some inaccuracies and omissions in the Infobox, Corporate governance, Financials, and See also sections. Below are the suggested improvements to each part of the article. You can also see a draft version of these changes in my Sandbox. Let me know if there are any questions!--Chefmikesf (talk) 20:33, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey Afus199620, I have a few updates to the Financials and other tables on this article. Would you be open to take a look at the proposed changes below?--Chefmikesf (talk) 20:33, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Afus199620, Do you think you can also make Financials and Corporate governance their own sections after History?--Chefmikesf (talk) 21:22, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Location: Corporate Governance

Reason and Request: Corporate governance should have its own section. Based on WP:Companies guidelines, I'm suggested Corporate governance has its own section following the History section. Second, I created a table with the name and role for each of the board members.

Current Corporate governance content

Current members of the board of directors of General Dynamics are: Catherine Reynolds, Nicholas Chabraja, James Crown, William Fricks, Paul Kaminski, John Keane, Lester Lyles, Phebe Novakovic, William A. Osborn, Laura J. Schumacher and Robert Walmsley.[4]

Proposed Corporate governance content

General Dynamics current chief executive officer is Phebe N. Novakovic.

Laura J. Schumacher Director and Chair, Compensation Committee
John G. Stratton Director

Current as of December 2020

Location: Financials

Reason and Request: Financials section should have its own section. Based on WP:Companies, I'm suggested the Financials section have its own section following the Corporate governance section. Second, the current Financials section contains extraneous content not relevant to the section. My thoughts are to fold some of the content into the History section, e.g., paragraphs two and four, then remove the extraneous content, e.g., paragraph three.

Current Financials content

General Dynamics has $30.9 billion in sales as of 2017[5] primarily military, but also civilian with its Gulfstream Aerospace unit and conventional shipbuilding and repair with its National Steel and Shipbuilding subsidiary.

In 2004, General Dynamics bid for the UK company Alvis plc, the leading British manufacturer of armored vehicles. In March the board of Alvis Vickers voted in favor of the £309m takeover. However at the last minute BAE Systems offered £355m for the company. This deal was finalized in June 2004.[6]

The corporation's subsidiaries are donors to the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute.[7][importance?]

10% of General Dynamic stock is owned by the Crown family, which includes Nancy Carrington Crown and Steven Crown. This is the family's largest single asset.[8]

Updating the Lead Paragraph

Hey Afus199620, I drafted an updated Lead below. Would you be open to review and if you think it improves the article, publishing the new version of the Lead?--Chefmikesf (talk) 20:22, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
Updating the Lead Paragraph

1.

Location:Lead

Current Lead

General Dynamics Corporation (GD) is an American aerospace and defense corporation. As of 2019, it was the fifth-largest defense contractor in the United States, and the sixth-largest in the world, by sales.[1] The company ranked No. 92 in the 2019 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue.[2] It is headquartered in Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia.[3]

Formed in 1954 with the merger of submarine manufacturer Electric Boat and aircraft manufacturer Canadair,[4] it evolved through multiple mergers and divestitures and changed markedly in the post–Cold War era of defense consolidation. General Dynamics' former Fort Worth Division, which manufactured the F-16 Fighting Falcon, was sold to the Lockheed Corporation in 1993, but GD re-entered the airframe business in 1999 with its purchase of business jet manufacturer Gulfstream Aerospace.[5]

10% of General Dynamic stock is owned by the Crown family, which includes Nancy Carrington Crown and Steven Crown. This is the family's largest single asset.[6]

Proposed Lead

General Dynamics Corporation (GD) is an American publicly traded, aerospace and defense corporation headquartered in Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia. As of 2020, it was the third-largest defense contractor in the United States, and the third-largest in the world, by sales.[1] The company is a Fortune 100 company, and was ranked No. 83 in 2020.[7]

Formed in 1954 with the merger of submarine manufacturer Electric Boat and aircraft manufacturer Canadair,[8] the corporation today is comprised of ten subsidiary companies with operations in 45 countries. The company’s products include Gulfstream business jets, Virginia- and Columbia-class nuclear-powered submarines, Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, M1 Abrams tanks and Stryker armored fighting vehicles.

In 2020, General Dynamics had worldwide sales of $37.9 billion and a workforce of more than 100,000 full-time employees. The current chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) is Phebe Novakovic.

Hi Sturmvogel 66, I noticed you're part of WP:Aviation and like military topics. I'm currently working on the General Dynamics Wikipedia article, there is room for improvement on a few sections. I have a COI with General Dynamics, so I will not edit the article myself but will present conceptual improvements on the talk page. To start, I rewrote the lead paragraph to clarify what the company does. Here is my proposed version. Any thoughts on this? --Chefmikesf (talk) 19:14, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

You repeated the location of the company's HQ, but it looks fine other than that. I'm not very familiar with what's covered in the articles on defense companies, so I really can't tell what ought to be there that's missing.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:46, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Sturmvogel 66, Thanks for the feedback. I removed the second location and made some updates. The code was different from the post for some reason. My intention for the edits is to simplify the lead in case others wanted to add to it. Would you be open to making the update?--Chefmikesf (talk) 20:04, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
Sure, but I'd like to check out the articles on a couple of the other major US defense companies. What you have so far is the bare bones of the lede, but I don't know what else should be there. I find ledes the hardest part of an article to write as it's hard to strike a balance between summarizing things and providing too much detail.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:11, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
That sounds like a good approach. As I said, I'm open to additions to the Lead, the intention of this version is to clean it up, remove unnecessary content, and bring attention to this article that needs improvement. Best, Chefmikesf (talk) 23:04, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
I've copied your lede over and cut the county from the location. I'd suggest reinstating the bit about the sale of the Fort Worth Division and would also suggest that you rework the bit about the ten companies to cover instead the four main business groups like shipbuilding, aerospace, etc. Go ahead and make those changes and I'll put the article on my watchlist to provide some oversight. Cite #3 needs to be wikified, by which I mean that it needs to be put into one of the various cite formats like cite news, cite web, etc. If you're not familiar with them let me know and I can give you some pointers. Once you're comfortable with doing that you can go ahead and do the same with any other cites that need to be properly formatted. Another thing you could do would be to provide a citation wherever a citation needed tag is located.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:30, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Sturmvogel 66, Your suggestions make sense. I'll move this conversation to the General Dynamics talk page, then I'll ping you again once I have these updates drafted. Best --Chefmikesf (talk) 22:53, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
