Adding a Subsidiaries section

[edit]

Hi, I am working to improve and expand the article. I'd like to suggest the addition of a Subsidiaries section including some information about each one, as follows:

Subsidiaries

Dear fellow editors, I looked over the subsidiaries and added the text and refs. It look ok. Also, I added other text to the main articles. Geraldshields11 (talk) 17:59, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Geraldshields11, thank you very much for your work on the article. The header names under the Subsidiaries subsection don't seem to be formatted properly. Would you mind correcting that? I plan to continue working on improvements for the article and hope to be in touch again in the near future. Thanks again, Yamadori1 (talk) 15:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
