Article updates 2023[edit]

Hi Grand'mere Eugene,

The article has some outdated content; below are the suggested edits. The proposed improvements can help reduce the size of the article. First, there are some simple edits, such as updating the Board of Directors and Executive Committee.  Done — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 21:24, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

June 2023 Edits

The Headquarters and the New Brunswick gentrification section is duplicate content from the Johnson and Johnson Plaza article, and the sentences are poorly sourced. The sourced content in the section fits into the History section, and it would remove the duplicated content. Take a look at the suggestion below.

1. Please Update the Board of Directors and Executive Committee

The current members of the board of directors of Johnson & Johnson for 2023 are Joaquin Duato, Darius Adamczyk, Mary C. Beckerle, D. Scott Davis, Jennifer A. Doudna, Marillyn A. Hewson, Paula A. Johnson, Hubert Joly, Mark B. McClellan, Anne M. Mulcahy, Mark A. Weinberger, and Nadja Y. West.[1]

The current members of the Executive Committee of Johnson & Johnson are Joaquin Duato, Vanessa Broadhurst, Peter Fasolo, Liz Forminard, William N. Hait, Ashley McEvoy, John C. Reed, James Swanson, Jennifer Taubert, Kathy Wengel, and Joseph J. Wolk.[2]

2. Remove the two graphs from Finance section. The graphs are not working due to technical issues.

3. Remove the Headquarters and the New Brunswick gentrification section, then add suggested sentences to the history section.

Existing Content (Headquarters and the New Brunswick gentrification)

The company has historically been located on the Delaware and Raritan Canal in New Brunswick. The company considered moving its Headquarters out of New Brunswick in the 1960s but decided to stay in the town after city officials promised to revitalize downtown New Brunswick by demolishing old buildings and constructing new ones. While New Brunswick lost many historic structures, including the early home of Rutgers University, and most of its historic commercial waterfront to the redevelopment effort, the gentrification did attract people back to New Brunswick. Johnson & Johnson hired Henry N. Cobb from Pei Cobb Freed & Partners to design its new Headquarters. Johnson and Johnson Plaza, in a park across the railroad tracks from the older portion of the Headquarters, is one of tallest buildings in New Brunswick.[citation needed]

The stretch of Delaware and Raritan canal by the company's Headquarters was replaced by a stretch of Route 18 in the late 1970s, after a lengthy dispute. In 2002, the company released its plan of setting up Asia-Pacific information technology headquarters in New South Wales within five years.

New Content (Move section to the History section)

Move to 1886: Founding of Johnson & Johnson as sentence three

Johnson & Johnson opened its first factory building in the old Janeway and Carpenter factory on Neilson Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey.[3]

Move to 1944-1999: Acquisitions and international expansion as paragraph eight.

In the 1970s, Johnson & Johnson hired Henry N. Cobb from Pei Cobb Freed & Partners to design its new Headquarters.[4] The firm designed Johnson & Johnson Plaza across the railroad tracks from the older section of the Johnson & Johnson campus.[5]

4. Question: Should we remove the tree diagram from the COVID section? It doesn't really make sense in that section, it needs to be updated, and it's adding a lot of unnecessary bytes to the article. Thoughts?

I agree, I removed it. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk)

Hi KAISEAN W. and Grand'mere Eugene, There are some significant changes to the company with the split-off and exchange offer. I'm currently working on a proposed sandbox to address all the changes. Would you be open to reviewing the changes later in the week? Thanks in advance---Chefmikesf (talk) 22:07, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead. I don’t do any heavy changes mainly because of how confusing they are to me. Hard to change the sector wikitable without it collapsing. KAISEAN W. (talk) 22:18, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I got the Wikitable done. KAISEAN W. (talk) 22:30, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I should have time early next week after grandkids leave. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:28, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Grand'mere Eugene Here are the suggested edits for the JNJ article. I'm also going to post on the JNJ template box to bring it up to date as well.

@Grand'mere Eugene, the current Lead's last two paragraphs remain from the old Lead. Can you remove them? The content in those paragraphs duplicates the content above it and is outdated with the consumer healthcare split-off. The new data will come out in the following annual report. It's best to remove the content until the annual report is available.--Chefmikesf (talk) 18:40, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History section[edit]

Hi @Grand'mere Eugene I noticed the last section of the History section got bit unwieldy. Any thoughts on the suggestion?

JNJ History
Location: History:

1. Reason and Request: Patent on tuberculosis-treating drug, bedaquiline History subsection lacks secondary sources. Suggest removing most of the content and the subsection. Once removed, add the content below to the 2000–present subsection in chronological order after the Kenvue content.

2000–present[edit]

...9.5% of the outstanding shares of Kenvue common stock.

Johnson & Johnson holds a patent on the tuberculosis-treating drug bedaquiline, with secondary patents in at least 25 out of 43 countries with a high burden of tuberculosis blocking affordable generic versions of the drug, preventing millions of people from accessing the life-saving treatment.[1][2] Though the patent was set to expire in many countries in 2023, Johnson & Johnson applied to extend the patent. On July 13, 2023, Stop TB Partnership announced that after negotiations with Johnson & Johnson, they had been granted licenses to produce generic versions of the drug.[3]

Merge proposal: Handle-o-Meter to here[edit]

Handle-o-Meter isn't notable in itself, but a merge/redirect here could be helpful to readers. Boleyn (talk) 15:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reject-- The Handle-o-Meter article has no secondary sources and I couldn't find any in my search. I'd suggest determining notability for the content first.--Chefmikesf (talk) 22:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
