Should this not be titled "2022 boycott of Russia and Belarus"? Russia is the main target. 331dot (talk) 16:27, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It's primarily (though not exclusively) about Russia. Samer (talk) 19:09, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. title should be "2022 boycott of Russia". Cassiopeia talk 03:19, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are some sanctions on Belarus and Belarussians related to this, due to their allowing Russia to use their territory. 331dot (talk) 09:37, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly; that's why I reversed the title but kept Belarus. Samer (talk) 01:17, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to get a note reminding editors that entries should be written in past tense? I'm seeing a significant number of entries in present tense (e.g., "Disney pauses" instead of "Disney paused"). Samer (talk) 01:18, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason this entire page is bulleted like a list? Perhaps we should convert into prose, or move this page to List of ... ? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 05:28, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any objection to moving this to 2022 Russia and Belarus boycotts and divestments? A boycott involves consumers, while divestment involves businesses, and this appears to cover both. Neutrality^talk 21:18, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I almost wonder if divestments could be split off into a separate article as the boycotts pile up. 331dot (talk) 21:59, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Neutrality @331dot I concur, divestments are NOT boycotts. They should be split, yes. See also my edit here. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:17, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think splitting it into divestments and boycotts is difficult since it is not always easy to determine whether the business is trying to limit its exposure in Russia, because it doesn't support Russia, because it was forced to by international sanctions, or possibly a combination of these. There doesn't seem to be a clear cut answer for some of them and splitting them into different pages could cause arguments over where it should go. Perhaps a generic title should just be chosen that covers all of these, since all such information should be documented. We shouldn't remove it simply because it is similar, but does not fit a technical definition of a "boycott". DiophantineEquation (talk) 11:40, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how best to reword the sentence about Visa and Mastercard (Banks and payment processors section) but it needs an update:

• "Mastercard, Visa suspend operations in Russia after invasion". Washington Post. Associated Press. 5 March 2022. Archived from the original on 5 March 2022. Retrieved 5 March 2022. Mastercard said cards issued by Russian banks will no longer be supported by its network and any card issued outside the country will not work at Russian stores or ATMs. ... Visa said it's working with clients and partners in Russia to cease all Visa transactions over the coming days.

Shell is not boycotting Russian produces but after a recent public outcry it said it will donate profits from Russian oil purchase (which it intends to limit) to humanitarian aid on Ukraine. See Shell_plc#2022_Russia_invasion_of_Ukraine. This seems somewhat relevant... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:28, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be worth adding a list of companies that haven't left Russia yet? People want to know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.232.191.47 (talk) 13:25, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We already have that in this article. 331dot (talk) 13:46, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this: https://zondaglobal.com/en/news/zonda-will-terminate-accounts-belonging-to-russian-users Zonda is the new name of BitBay, a small crypto company whose article got deleted (by me - I was the nom): Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BitBay. So, do we list it among boycotting companies or not? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:04, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Right now this is a mess, the companies are divided into categories based on who-knows-what, and within their sections, they are not sorted either by alphabet or chronology. I think we should reorganize this into a sortable table-style article, with companies displayed by name. People could then sort by date of first announcement or category (that one is extremely problematic, our Category:Companies by industry is kind of ORish, I don't know if there is a globally recognized one - ILO, US BLS, Statista, WSJ, see also industry classification. It may be best to just remove the classification entirely from our list here, since what we have now is an "adhoc taxonomy developed by a few Wikipedia volunteers").

Since making this into a table is few hours work, for now I'll start organizing the sections into those resembling the above-mentioned category, and within them, sorting entries by name, and adding dates for the cited annoucements. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:38, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would be great to take the more extensive data on this page and convert it to a sortable table. Could that table live somewhere else? This other page, List of companies that applied sanctions during the Russo-Ukrainian War, has similar data in table format, but it's less extensive and lacks some columns useful for analysis. The simple bulleted approach on this page has some advantages, though. GeorgeHenryBorrow (talk) 18:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That list page is quite superior, although the name is rather clunky. Outside of the date needing change from year to day-month-year format, I am not surewhat its lacking (you say it's less extensive but I think it is about the same?). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 20:39, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lot of overlap between the information there and here. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 21:12, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree. Combine them into a more generic title that encapsulates everything from boycotts, sanctions, divestment, etc. The Headquarters, End Date and Remarks columns should be removed from the other page since they aren't really that important. The Suspended Services column should be more detailed, such as including value of divestment or impact of pulling out of Russia, allowing readers to have an understanding of the effect each company has.
