History section reads like an advertisement

[edit]

Some of the History section, especially the final paragraph, reads like an advertisement. 176.61.67.100 (talk) 08:31, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sad article

[edit]

The article is sad. A single section. A list of events. That's it. Hardly any sustained prose beyond one sentence. Mostly trivia of M&A and staff changes. It's unreadable.

Compare with this version. It's not great either, but at least is somewhat readable. The sub-sections provide context, and the prose is sustained, not chopped into little unrelated paragraphs. I see the page has had a lot of IP activity, and no one really watching it over the long term. It slowly fell apart. This is too bad as Etrade was one of the first major online-only brokers for consumers, it was king of the 1990s Internet brokers, innovative, had real historical importance. You wouldn't know any of that reading the article. -- GreenC 06:58, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
