| v2 | 2026-09-22 16:20 | @benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-5) | Settled all three queue reasons and rebuilt the entry from sources. **absence_prose / flagged (1):** the closing About paragraph about what no register held is deleted; its sourced half (1888 Omaha, incorporated 1908, Skokie from 1941) was already in paragraph one, and the gaps are reported here instead. **flagged (2) / owner_unknown:** the file had no Relations section and now carries `owned_by company/pfizer` from 2003 and `owned_by company/pharmacia-corporation` 1985-2003 (ended), both cited to `^searle`. **One page, not two, for Monsanto and Pharmacia:** they are one legal entity, so a second stub would have been a duplicate. SEC EDGAR holds Delaware filer CIK 0000067686 as Pharmacia Corp with Monsanto Co as its former name (EIN 43-0420020), so the company that bought Searle in 1985 as Monsanto is the company Pfizer bought in 2003. The stub `company/pharmacia-corporation` carries Monsanto Company as a legal alias until 2000 and Monsanto as a search alias, and its disambiguation separates it both from the agricultural Monsanto spun off in 2000 and sold to Bayer in 2018 and from the Swedish Pharmacia of Uppsala. I kept the legal form in the name for that second reason; re-key it `pharmacia` if you would rather have the plain trading name. **The walk up ends at Pfizer, with evidence:** `company/pfizer` is created with `ownership_status: no_corporate_parent` and `ownership_source: ^gleif-parent`, because GLEIF records reporting exceptions of category NO_KNOWN_PERSON against LEI 765LHXWGK1KXCLTFYQ30 for both the direct and the ultimate accounting consolidation parent. It also carries EIN 13-5315170, Delaware file number 383418, Q206921 and the SEC filing address, so no cleanup flag was needed above it. **Identity on this page:** added `legal_name: G.D. Searle, LLC` and `wikidata: Q198605`, and changed `founded` from 1908 to 1888. 1908 is the incorporation year, which the page's own summary already contradicted; no register entry exists to prefer, and both the Wikipedia infobox and Wikidata give inception 1888. The 1908 incorporation stays in About. **References added:** monsanto (Wikipedia: Monsanto), pfizer (Wikipedia: Pfizer), edgar (SEC EDGAR submissions for CIK 0000067686) and wikidata (Q198605); searle re-accessed 2026-09-22. The stubs carry their own SEC, GLEIF and Wikipedia rows. **Source disagreement kept on the page:** the Searle article dates the Monsanto / Pharmacia & Upjohn merger to 2001, the Monsanto article has it agreed in December 1999 with the new Monsanto spun off in 2000; About names both. **Image:** the Commons wordmark File:Searle_Company_logo.svg (PD textlogo) is sent as the company logo. **Gaps:** GLEIF full text holds no LEI for the Searle entity and no free register entry for it could be read, so registered_address and register_ids stay empty here; Pharmacia Corporation has no Wikidata item of its own, so that field is empty on its stub. | Diff |
