Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
British American Tobacco. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}

nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

According to Forbes British American Tobacco is now a US company rather than a UK one. This has been reflected in the lead paragraph of the wikipedia article and is suitably cited to Forbes. But according to Companies House the company is still based at 4 Temple Place, London. So how come British American Tobacco is now an American company. Or are Forbes just wrong? Views welcome.

Hi
My name is Kevin O’Connor and for full transparency I am External Communications Manager at BAT.
Below I have made four suggested factual changes to the opening paragraphs of BAT's Wikipedia article which I believe would bring it more up-to-date.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these proposed updates.
Many thanks Kevin
