Brown Bailout
I'm amazed that no mention is made in this article of the UPS lobbying to create the "Brown Bailout," intended as a way to cripple rival FedEx and direct government monies to the coffers of UPS. Could someone please include a paragraph about this?

Massive gap on the 'Trains' sub-heading before the end of the text for that sub-heading should be removed
In my opinion, the massive gap on the 'Trains' sub-heading on the 'Transportation' section before the end of the text for that sub-heading should be removed as it looks strange in my opinion to have such a big gap.

Nightline
Why is there no nightline wiki they still operate as a separate company with contract ties with UPS but is not owned by UPS. I can confirm this as i live near a depot and still see nightline vans as well as UPS

Disregard what i just said but they’re are still operating as nightline with in ROI

The years '2020' and '2021' are misaligned in the table under the 'Finances' tab
The years 2020 and 2021 are misaligned compared to the other years in the table under the 'Finances' tab. This makes the table look unprofessional in my opinion.
Xboxsponge15 (

They're misaligned because they're cited while the other years are not. I would be reluctant to make any changes without the input of other editors, but some options that come to mind are moving the citations to their own column and/or deleting the unreferenced figures.

– I'm surprised that UPS still leads to a disambiguation page. According to page views, as of the last 30 days of writing, the United Parcel Service's article has just under 49,000 views. Everything else listed at
UPS not related to the courier does not come close to denying the courier a supermajority. I believe that it's time we either move
United Parcel Service to
UPS as it is clearly the WP:PRIMARY topic (even without factoring in the looming Teamsters strike), or alternatively making
UPS by default redirect to
United Parcel Service. Either option works for me, though if I had to choose, I would prefer the former. InvadingInvader (

Oppose. No clear primary topic re:
uninterruptible power supply, certainly in parts of the world where the parcel service is not ubiquitous.
WPscattert/c 00:02, 18 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose. I agree with the above comments. "UPS" meaning uninterrupted power supply is too commonly used to move this article.

Oppose - there is an an incredibly high bar in my mind to pass for any particular article being primary for a TLA, and this is far below it. --
Netoholic@ 09:51, 18 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose yes this is what I think of first but
Britannica uses the full name and per Wpscatter's comment about Uninterruptible power supply. Crouch, Swale (

Strong oppose UPS would mean uninterruptable power supply to a great deal of people. --

Question: Can we have a "UPS (United Parcel Service)" article which redirects to "United Parcel Service" ? That way it would show up in the search bar when a user types U P S right away so they don't have to go to the DAB page? I know this can be created but I'm not familiar enough with policy that I don't want to create more problems by creating this myself now, so I'm asking. ---Avatar317(talk) 06:09, 19 July 2023 (UTC)reply
I'm sorry, but no. That would be a misuse of the parenthetical disambiguator.
Rreagan007 (

Oh, yeah creating that redirect would be fine.
Rreagan007 (

Oppose. For the reasons stated by Zxcvbnm and Wpscatter. --

Oppose as Americanism. UPS to most people in the world is apt to mean uninterruptible power supply or some other meaning of the acronym. —
