Requested edit

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

Hello, as part of an effort to clear up any confusion between Philip Morris USA and Philip Morris International which are two separate companies (PMI was spun off from Altria in 2008 and is now a publicly-traded company, with PM USA remaining as Altria's combustible tobacco division) I would like to move PM USA-related content from the {{Philip Morris International}} box to this one (I am a PMI employee).

Here is what the updated box would look like (with a few comments below as to what has changed):

Added People, Litigation and Media subsections to the PM USA section (which only listed brands until now)
Grouped Ste Michelle Wine EstateS, JUUL, Nat Sherman and NJOY into a new Subsidiaries section. The wine estate and Nat Sherman were one-brand sections, NJOY was incorrectly included into the US Smokeless section, and JUUL was missing
Added the Company HQ to a newly-created Related section.

Based on what I have seen with {{Merck&Co}} and {{Merck Group}} I chose not to add PMI into the related section as the whole idea is to indicate that both companies are not related (other examples I could find include {{DuPont}} (formerly DowDupont) which does not mention Dow Chemicals, though {{Dow Chemical Company}} does). This being said, if reviewers would still want to include a mention of PMI then I'd advocate using the term See also instead of Related.

Wrong venue Your request should be made on the talk page of the template where the information now resides rather than the talk page of the intended destination template. Regards, Spintendo 18:03, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
