Clean Up

I've attempted to clean this up a little bit, especially adding the Trivia section. If anyone can do anything more (or better) please do so. I really don't like the way the quality section reads right now, but I don't have any time to research this or change it at the moment. It seems more opinion or a sales pitch right now and I think it should be more focused on why the Tiffany's brand is associated with quality or what makes it quality.

I've also eliminated the concern about the lack of quality. Whoever put that there, you can add it back when you have some references. --Tenric 15:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

POV

Does anyone think this should be changed? "A smart form of marketing that differentiates it from other large jewelers, whose entry-level prices are somewhat higher." It doesn't seem to me like something you'd read in an encylopedia.

I can see why this sort of thing: "As a result it is generally perceived that the company has been resting on its laurels" makes this an article that needs clean up. --Tenric 18:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC

Tenric, I agree completely: not only is "A smart form of marketing..." POV, it's not even a complete sentence, since it's lacking a proper subject. In addition, "There has been fear over the last few years that the brand itself has been damaged by a lack of new and original designs." also smacks of opinion (or perhaps sour grapes?) --Mommiepretty 22:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Did someone put that junk back, because I thought I took it out? If I have time I'm going to try to fix this up a little. --Tenric 00:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Lamps

Hmm, interesting that the article makes no mention of Tiffany's famous leaded-glass lamps. It wasn't until just recently that I even knew Tiffany's was a jewelry store, rather than a lamp manufacturer. Call me dim. :) --Birdhombre 02:02, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I know this comment is really old, but for anyone who might happen upon this page and think that the two "Tiffany"s are the same: this is for you. Tiffany lamps are the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany, the younger son of Tiffany & Co.'s founder Charles Lewis Tiffany. Since this article has to do with the publically traded company and not the Tiffany family or its other businesses, please do not put information regarding Tiffany lamps into this article. Instead place all information regarding Louis Comfort Tiffany's lamps into his own article. =) — Indi ^{[ talk ]} 18:19, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tiffanyandcompanylogo.jpg

Image:Tiffanyandcompanylogo.jpg 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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.

The following request appears on that page:

Comments on the suitability of theis page for "Pending changes" would be appreciated.

Please update the Queue page as appropriate.

Note that I am not involved in this project any much more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially

Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 00:23, 17 June 2010 (UTC).

I am about to add more detailed information about Tiffany's history as well as add a new section on their advertising. It will be fairly basic information so other users should be able to add more detail and information if they choose or see a need. None of the changes should be disruptive.

Sale price

If the original price was $16.2 billion and it has been reduced, isn't it now something less than $ 16 bn ? -- Beardo (talk) 02:53, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
