It's not his iPod determining musical classifications this time. No, it's his client-vendor relationships at work. Nice move, Guy!

This isn't OR, it's how they brand themselves all over their website...

Let's compare that for a momment:

http://factcheck.barackobama.com/factcheck...y_pfotenhau.php

Fact: Greg Craig is not on the Obama staff list

However: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Craig

That Wikipedia article claims he is.

Maybe one should find one Article that spells it "Amro" to make it apparent that what JzG did was OR. Otherwise, maybe one wants to agree that the Greg Craig as a foreign policy advisor to Obama is felgercarb! This is not only WP:OR, as this is also about WP:RS!!!! ⋮ ⋮ !!!1!11!

Er... a company's own site is the ultimate RS on their own NAME. If Starbucks renamed themselves to HOT BLACK STUFF INCORPORATED, all in caps, and redirected starbucks.com to HOTBLACKSTUFFINCORPORATED.COM and redid all their marks and branding to reflect that, and always referred to their domain in caps, then someone would have to redirect [[Starbucks]] to [[HOT BLACK STUFF INCORPORATED]].
