{{tq|In January 2015, the company announced an expansion of its Oshkosh operations, with plans to add 150 employees over three years. The company pledged to spend $10.8 million to expand its North American headquarters in Oshkosh by 25,000 square feet, and double its distribution center on the west side of the city with a 100,000 square foot addition.}}

{{tq|The State of Wisconsin, through its Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, authorized 4imprint to get up to $1 million in state tax credits, dependent upon the number of jobs created through the expansion.}}

was a prediction in 2015, 10 years ago. So this either happened or it did not. We shouldn't include predictions for the future anyway, because a plan is not notable and an achievement may be, but we certainly should not include a decade old prediction of future success of a company.

:It was completed [https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241024660120/en/4imprint%C2%AE-Completes-Expansion-of-Oshkosh-Distribution-Center see here]. I will amend the text accordingly. Dormskirk (talk) 21:43, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

::{{ping|Dormskirk}} Thanks! The details are certainly different than predicted (2018 vs 2024, 170,000-square-feet instead of 100,000 et cetera. Polygnotus (talk) 21:58, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Yes, it seems to be far larger. Are you more comfortable with the coverage now and can we remove the tag? Dormskirk (talk) 22:00, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

::::It currently says {{tq|involved 1,488 new solar panels to the and brought the total to some 4,000.}} and [https://thebusinessnews.com/northeast/4imprint-completes-170000-square-foot-expansion/ this] says {{tq| included the addition of 1,488 new solar panels to the distribution center’s existing array installed in 2022 – bringing the total to more than 4,000.}} Polygnotus (talk) 22:05, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

::::Should this be included? https://members.asicentral.com/news/industry-news/january-2025/4imprint-says-annual-growth-slowed-again/ or https://printandpromomarketing.com/article/4imprint-predicts-slower-sales-growth-for-2024/ Maybe to bring some balance to the article? Polygnotus (talk) 22:08, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::Yes, I agree. I will expand accordingly. Dormskirk (talk) 22:10, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::Good spot....anything else? Dormskirk (talk) 22:16, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::::{{tq|Kevin Lyons-Tarr (CEO) and Suzanne Worwood (Senior Vice-President) were together ranked No.1 most influential people in the industry in 2023 and No.4 most influential people in the industry in 2024.}}

:::::::This is the opinion of C.J. Mittica, and it is a bit weird to say that the CEO of the company with the largest marketshare is therefore the most influential person. So it feels rather meaningless to me. Polygnotus (talk) 22:19, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::::OK. Now removed. Dormskirk (talk) 22:25, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::Why should this be included:

::::::{{tq|The company was named by Fortune as one of the top 10 places to work in the advertising and marketing industry in the US in 2016.}}

::::::It is the opinion of "Great Place to Work", a company whose stuff is republished in Fortune. Simply marketing fluff. Polygnotus (talk) 22:17, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Fair enough. Now removed. Dormskirk (talk) 22:20, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::::The article says {{Tq|The State of Wisconsin, through its Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, has supported the company with state tax credits, dependent upon the number of jobs created through the expansion.}} but the source says it may get those credits in the future. {{tq|WEDC has authorized 4imprint to receive up to $1 million in state tax credits depending on the number of new jobs created and retained at the two facilities, which now employ about 650 workers.}} Polygnotus (talk) 22:25, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::OK. Now amended to be fit the wording in the media. Dormskirk (talk) 22:28, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::::::Thanks again. I still think there is a missing word in the sentence {{tq|It involved 1,488 new solar panels to the and brought the total to some 4,000.}} Polygnotus (talk) 22:32, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::::::: Yes, my mistake - now sorted. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 22:49, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
