I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 00:54, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
I'm doubtful about the logo being public domain. The logo wasn't prepared by a Patent Office employee; they incorporated it into one of their publications but that doesn't mean that whoever owned the logo's copyright lost their rights.- Removed logo. TwoScars (talk) 15:18, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Youtube is not a reliable source -- you have it both in the citations and the "External links" section.- Removed from External Links and removed the note that used it as a citation. This is a shame, since the video shows actual glassmaking inside the plant, and shows the Indiana Glass glazer—a step between the mold and lehr that made the seams on the glassware smoother. I don't know of any other video that actually shows the production of pressed molded glassware at Indiana Glass. TwoScars (talk) 15:39, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, it's a pity. If you find a reliable source that refers to or links to this video, that might be enough to reinstate it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 18:28, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Why do we say the company shut down in 2002 when a glass plant operated under the "Indiana Glass Company" name till 2008? In the body of the article we say that plant was part of Indiana Glass, after all.- Does not say "company shut down in 2002". It says "Lancaster Colony ceased production at the Dunkirk factory of Indiana Glass during November 2002." In the same paragraph, it also says "After the shutdown at the Dunkirk facility, production continued at the Sapulpa plant under the Indiana Glass name." TwoScars (talk) 15:39, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- You're right, I misread it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 18:28, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

"At its peak in 1979, the Dunkirk facility employed about 1,300 people, and also had a plant in Sapulpa, Oklahoma": suggest "At its peak in 1979, the Dunkirk facility employed about 1,300 people. Indiana Glass also had a plant in Sapulpa, Oklahoma" to avoid the implication that the Sapulpa plant only operated around 1979.- Made change. TwoScars (talk) 17:34, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
"In October, the company announced that it would buy back two million shares of its stock by June 2008": why is this relevant to this article?- At least one author blames the sale on the hedge fund activists who wanted to make money on stock buybacks. However, I changed the last paragraph completely to mostly focus on the sale. TwoScars (talk) 17:34, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
