Bayer will retire Monsanto name on June 7th

Ukraine

There are articles on the net which claim that monsanto bought vast tracts of land in Ukraine. The sale had something to do with an IMF loan which would not have been granted without that sale. Does Bayer now own these, too, and what were the intentions and activities with that land? 2001:8003:A928:800:D987:A121:5FC1:F91D (talk) 02:40, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Due weight a Roundup Cancer coverage.

My edit was reverted for "undue weight". From WP:DUE: "Keep in mind that, in determining proper weight, we consider a viewpoint's prevalence in reliable sources, not its prevalence among Misplaced Pages editors or the general public."

The mention of what the jury found, and the reason for the large fine, were reported in all coverage of this case:

Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/aug/10/monsanto-trial-cancer-dewayne-johnson-ruling

NBC https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jury-orders-monsanto-pay-290m-roundup-trial-n899811

CBS https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dewayne-johnson-monsanto-roundup-weed-killer-jury-award-today-2018-08-10/

Vox https://www.vox.com/2018/8/11/17678532/monsanto-roundup-causes-cancer-jury

NPR https://www.npr.org/2018/08/10/637722786/jury-awards-terminally-ill-man-289-million-in-lawsuit-against-monsanto

It should be on WP too. Therefore I will restore my edit. KoA43 was wrong in claiming my edit added undue weight. petrarchan47คุก 09:25, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
