is there anything like this website ? are there other global market "hub" sites ? anything comparable to alibaba (even if on a smaller scale)

In Spanish speaking markets the word associated to "Alibaba" is not "Open Sesame" but the phrase "and the forty thieves" (Alí Baba... y los cuarenta ladrones". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.4.23.10 (talk) 15:54, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alibaba, Yahoo!, shark controversy

[edit]

Alibaba Group, China's biggest e-commerce firm, is no longer engaged in the business of allowing sellers of shark fins to list their products on its platforms. Alibaba Group banned the sale of shark fin on its platforms as of January 1, 2009.

Environmentalists, ocean lovers and a growing world-wide scuba diving community who were aware of the decision applauded Alibaba for the ban.

Yahoo! has a US$1 billion stake in Alibaba representing a 40% shareholding.

Activist groups, thousands of petitioning individuals from all over the world and media organizations had approached both Alibaba and Yahoo! to induce them to drop the shark fin trade. The conclusion of internationally renowned marine experts is that the indiscriminate mass killing of well over one hundred million sharks per year, mostly for their fins, is driving many species into extinction with catastrophic consequences for the biodiversity of the world's oceans.

  • Alibaba have no involvement with what their members buy and sell, they just bring buyer and seller together. I think it's a bit of stretch to say that Yahoo is the world's largest online shark fin trader. --Spuzzdawg (talk) 10:05, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The logo on this page is incorrect. Alibaba Group is the holding company that includes Alibaba.com. I would change it if I knew how, but if someone who knows how can do it, Alibaba Group logo can be found at http://img.alibaba.com/aboutalibaba/images/alibaba_group1.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwspelich (talkcontribs) 23:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

by "LeProf", to see what was edited and why, in this section. One cannot use verbatim text from citations without constructing quotations, and cannot add material facts, like stock depreciations of 15% that do not appear in the cited source, etc. And one cannot have closing, opinion-laden laden text, without that also being sourced. This is not a platform for editor opinion, but for reporting published opinion on important matters from reliable business sources. (Economist-derived information was expanded, and Forbes-derived information was added to create a replacement summation.)

Uranium

[edit]

Yellowcake is not raw uranium ore; it is processed uranium ore. It is not illegal to possess raw uranium ore, which, according to Wikipedia, is "weakly radioactive" and emits only alpha particles (helium nuclei) rather than the more serious gamma rays. Patrick Campbell was not arrested for smuggling, nor for possession of uranium; he was charged with knowingly brokering goods (yellowcake, in this case) destined for Iran. Most of this is irrelevant to Alibaba: I removed the misleading reference to the concealment of uranium in Campbell's shoes. C. Cerf (talk) 22:54, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Factual errors? 'Largest company by revenue'

[edit]

This page lists Alibaba's revenue as $56bn but states "Its online sales and profits surpassed all US retailers (including Walmart, Amazon, and eBay) combined since 2015." yet on Walmart's page, revenue is listed as $514bn. The reference also restates this point but it seems entirely nonsensical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.129.101.143 (talk) 20:02, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 9 January 2021

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. There is consensus that this page should not be moved. There also appears to be consensus that Alibaba should be retargeted to Ali Baba (disambiguation). (closed by non-admin page mover) Jack Frost (talk) 12:40, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]



Alibaba GroupAlibaba – Requesting move for potentially controversial renaming. Alibaba is the WP:COMMONNAME of the company. "Alibaba" already redirects here and distinguish templates are already placed on the page for other articles with that name. Also, tech giant articles like Google, Microsoft, and Huawei use the common term instead of the official company name. (Except of course Apple and Amazon for obvious reasons. And Facebook which directs to the website article rather than the company) PyroFloe (talk) 08:43, 9 January 2021 (UTC) PyroFloe (talk) 08:43, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On the acquisition ot the South China Morning Post

[edit]

I believe there to be an error in section 3.6

In December 2015, Alibaba agreed to acquire the South China Morning Post and other media assets belonging to the group for a consideration of $266 million. Although Alibaba promised editorial independence, vice-chairman Joseph Tsai said that Alibaba believes that "the world needs a plurality of views when it comes to China coverage. China's rise as an economic power and its importance to world stability is too important for there to be a singular thesis." The acquisition attracted media concerns over what this would mean for the newspaper's coverage.

I don't see how an Alibaba vice-chairman assuring the South Chhina Morning Post will keep publishing articles with views that don't follow the rules of typical articles from the mainland is something that could attract concern for the newspaper's future coverage, since that's already what the newspaper was doing. Could someone fix this? Right now it doesn't make sense that this statement would have attracted media concerns, it must've been about something else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.134.78.214 (talk) 15:51, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
