Hi page watchers, I've worked up a draft that updates this article now that the Yahoo! acquisition is complete. The article is still written in places as it was before Oath was fully formed. The article says Oath "will serve" as the umbrella of its content sub-divisions AOL and Yahoo! It already does. It also says, "AOL and Yahoo will maintain their respective brands following the completion of the transaction." The transaction is complete, and the two do maintain their respective brands. My draft makes a number of other changes: I have attributed the meaning behind Oath's name to CEO Tim Armstrong; I changed Headquarters to Operations, including how Oath fits into Verizon Communications, headquarters and other office locations, chief executive, and number of employees; a brief History section with the origins of Oath; and reorganized Brands.
You'll see my full draft in my user space. I work for Verizon and have a conflict of interest so I ask others to look and make these edits on my behalf. Thank you, VZBob ( talk) 21:32, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi page watchers. On September 24, LABcrabs wrote Reception, which includes two sentences: One a critique by a competitor's CEO because Verizon held an earnings call on April 20; and another about a press release issued by the competitor criticizing Verizon. In my opinion, this section is unencyclopedic and I ask that editors consider its removal. As per WP:NOTNEWS, WP:UNDUE, and WP:PROPORTION, this critique does not seem notable enough for inclusion here, let alone its own section. The competitor's criticism was a one-day news story, and it did not garner much coverage to begin with. As for the second sentence, it is sourced to a press release by the competitor, not a reliable secondary source.
To help address some of this article's outdated aspects, I have posted an edit request above for a full draft in my user space.

Oath Inc recent quarterly statements has came out.
I made the following changes to the article:
"Manhattan, New York": is that really Wikipedia's official style? Not "New York City"? or simply "New York"? Compare: /info/en/?search=List_of_companies_based_in_New_York_City â Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.27.111.134 ( talk) 12:09, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
alir1@aol.com 50.105.73.98 ( talk) 14:48, 27 April 2018 (UTC)I've been an AOL user since its inception.
ON April 26, 2018 AOL users received an online message that AOL is now conjoined along with Yahoo and other internet brands as Oath, Inc. It further goes on to warn users that if continued to use any of its subsidiaries that the user will automatically be agreeing to Oath's New Terms of Service and Privacy Policies.
I admit I didn't make it through reading all these 2 new policies as I had read enough with just the opening lines stating that by continuing to use any Oath-including AOL or Yahoo- that the person/user GIVES UP THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL , INCLUDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND IS FORCED TO USE ARBITRATION INSTEAD. That appears to be an illegal clause by Oath and is against the Constitution of the United States of America which guarantees all people the right to TRIAL.
Barring use of service if one doesn't give up their protected right is equivalent to saying you can live in this town unless you give up your rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. Right then they broke United States Law.
And all this comes, by knowing they had 1 billion persons affected by data breach in past, so it includes barring users from Class Action Lawsuits. All done before the upcoming Congressional U.S. elections scheduled for November, 2018.

I am having trouble understanding the following in the article:
" As a result, Verizon lowered its offer for Yahoo! by $350 million to $4.48 billion.[19]
Two months before closing the deal for Yahoo!, Verizon announced it would place Yahoo! and AOL under the Oath umbrella.[20]"
If the offer was lowered shouldn't the dollar amount decrease? From $350 million to $4.49 billion is an increase. Or does this mean that the offer went from 354.48 billion dollars down to 4.48 billion dollars? By the way 354.48 billion dollars is a lot of money. Qewr4231 ( talk) 11:21, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

"Brands" is outdated, so I wanted to offer an updated list for page watchers to consider. I work for Verizon and have a conflict of interest. Following in the footsteps of my former colleague, VZBob, I won't be making direct edits to articles where I have a conflict, so I will propose edits here. Is it possible to update the current brands listed in Brands? I propose adding various Yahoo! brands and BUILD, changing "Rivals.com" to "Rivals" and "MAKERS Women" to "MAKERS", and removing Kanvas (which is not a Verizon Media brand), as shown below:

I understand that Wikipedia editors prefer third-party sources for information, but the use of Verizon Media's website seems like the best way to ensure this information is accurate, rather then putting together a list piecemeal using sources that may or may not be up-to-date. Of course, I will defer to Wikipedia editors to make that determination. However, I did add additional sourcing within the list where needed.

Verizon Media â ? â See the discussion above. A majority share of Verizon Media has been sold to Apollo Funds and the company has been renamed simply "Yahoo", as reflected in the article. The article name Yahoo currently discusses the Yahoo website and associated web services, so this article will need to be given a different title. My immediate thoughts were " Yahoo (company)" (the press release simply calls the company "Yahoo" without an exclamation point) or " Yahoo Inc." (the company's website URL implies, but does not confirm, that this is the name of the new company). Aoi (éă) ( talk) 20:48, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
The articles related to Yahoo! portal and AOL are describing Oath Inc, Verizon Media, and the current incarnation of Yahoo! as separate companies. All those names refer to the same company: the post-2017 Yahoo! that Verizon Communications bought. It just has had different names and been rebranded. I did some editing to clarify this but it needs some work. I would even suggest that there might even be three Yahoo!'s. The original Yahoo! Inc. from 1995-2017, the Oath/Verizon Media from 2017-2021 wholly owned by Verizon Communications, and the current incarnation of Yahoo! Inc. managed by Apollo with Verizon Communications as a minority stake. cookie monster 755 06:54, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
