Superman dog tags

I've removed the following section as it reads like advertising and is really out of date. Take care, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 05:01, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Superman Tags

In June 2006, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation launched a campaign to raise public awareness of the Reeve Foundation and its mission by selling Superman Tags. The dogtags feature the Superman S-Shield logo and the foundation's motto, "Go Forward." Because all proceeds from the sale of the tags support the Foundation's work in finding treatments and cures for paralysis, Warner Bros. allowed the Foundation to use the Superman logo royalty-free. The Reeve Foundation hoped to achieve the same level of success and popularity that the Lance Armstrong Foundation has enjoyed with the LIVESTRONG wristband.^[1] Celebrities who have been "tagged" include Brandon Routh, who starred as Superman in Superman Returns; Kate Bosworth, who played Lois Lane in Superman Returns; Dean Cain, who played Superman in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman; Erica Durance, who plays Lois Lane on Smallville; David Boreanaz; Robin Williams; and Ray Romano.

The corporation's official name is "Christopher Reeve Foundation" according to their IRS returns and the state business search: https://www.njportal.com/DOR/BusinessNameSearch/Search/BusinessName

A basic trademark search at https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results indicates that their new logos use the ampersand (and that older ones spelled out 'and'; ampersands seem to be trendy these days). MOS:AMPERSAND accepts but does not require following the trademark. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:45, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. Ampersands are always best expanded. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:45, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. Our house style is to write and rather than &  — Amakuru (talk) 00:10, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • The MOS says "In normal text and headings, use and instead of the ampersand (&): January 1 and 2, not January 1 & 2. But retain an ampersand when it is a legitimate part of the style of a proper noun, the title of a work, or a trademark, such as in Up & Down or AT&T."

Support. Necrothesp and Amakuru are mistaken in their application of MOS:AMP. As the official name uses an ampersand, this page move is in line with the aforementioned guideline as referenced under WP:AND. Yaksgawky (talk) 12:05, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
