Paragraph Sounds Too Emotive

[edit]

Upon reading this article, the paragraph underAccounting Practices beginning with "In 1999, Enron initiated [...]," sounds as if written by a student arguing a point rather than being general/informative. Is there something we should/could do regarding this? Thanks.Tjsmith0194 (talk)03:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Enron back from the dead?

[edit]

Various crypto-adjacent news sources (which I am unsure of the viability of) are claiming that Enron is coming back. The most reliable, non-crypto news source I can find isa humor column inThe Houston Chronicle, which claims "The smartypantses on Reddit’sr/wallstreetbets floated a semi-serious theory: “Enron,” they cracked, would be a great name for a new cryptocurrency." Can anyone more experienced in cryptocurrency sources claim the validity of this?wizzito |say hello!18:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New source fromNew York magazine claims it is a joke:https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/who-is-behind-enron-reboot-its-the-birds-arent-real-guys.htmlwizzito |say hello!18:39, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Plenty of RS reporting on this now, but I'm unsure if this deserves a mention here, or possibly atBirds Aren't Real (which seems to be by the same people as the Enron resurrection)wizzito |say hello!21:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Enron twitter account is reactivated with a few tweets. The community notes on the pinned video references the new ToS which does include a clause that this is parody, but it remains to be seen.guninvalid (talk)08:52, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'veWP:BOLDed up a brief section about the reboot, but it remains to be seen whether this turns out to be a scam or a joke or something else.guninvalid (talk)09:06, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Given that it'sestablished as a joke now, I think a full section is way over-due. It should be a small paragraph.Sdkbtalk05:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should we refer to Enron using "is" or "was"?

[edit]

I noticed an edit fromSpecial:Contributions/31.223.84.217 claiming to change "was" to "is". Given that the reboot is very clearly a joke, should we refer to Enron using the present tense or past?guninvalid (talk)03:37, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support "was". I support using "was" when referencing any activities performed by old-Enron, and "is" for the reboot. I'd say for anything not strictly referring to either of them, such as in the lede, "was" is still appropriate.guninvalid (talk)03:38, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

“Was” feels more accurate for the original company, it’s a different organization entirely. If the new Enron continues to operate into the future, at some point it should probably be moved to a separate page, leaving it as a footnote here. (Unless there is a precedent or guideline for this situation I am unaware of.)HootyTheOwlTube (talk)21:21, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ENRON.COM

[edit]

There is a company called Enron Corp. that also makes use of the old logo. Their main product seems to be an egg and a lot of heated air. Like the one that disappeared. --2A02:8071:6110:8B80:201E:BE8E:C51E:D8D2 (talk)11:27, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is already discussed in the 2025 satirical reboot section.guninvalid (talk)17:56, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
