 * Steven S. Reinemund, director and CEO of PepsiCo Inc. announced his retirement effective in May, 2007. Reinemund, 58, said today he's leaving to spend more time with his family.:Was it a press release? Who did he say it to?
 * PepsiCo announced that Indra Nooyi, currently president and CFO, will take over for Reinemund.:When did PepsiCo say this?
 * Nooyi's current position will be split in two and filled by Richard Goodman, 57, currently CFO of PepsiCo International, who will become CFO; and Hugh Johnston, 44, currently senior vice president of transformation, who was promoted to the newly created post of executive vice president of operations, procurement and information technology.:According to who, what source? Why is this sentence so long?
 * Nooyi, 50, is a Yale-educated daughter of a middle-class Indian family.:According to who/what source?
 * She will succeed Steven S. Reinemund, in October, the company said. :Finally a source, but no when they said it? What day was it said?
 * Reinemund will stay with PepsiCo until May, 2007, to provide some overlap and continuity.:Unless this is cited in the paragraph, it is a NPOV violation - sice it is the opinion of the author.
 * Together, Nooyi and Reinemund have guided PepsiCo through several large take-overs and has seen the company overtake The Coca-Cola Company both in terms of sales and market value. Coca-Cola is still the no. 1 soft-drink maker as a significant portion of PepsiCo's sales come via brands Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats.:Needs a source.
 * Some on Wall Street were suprised by Reinemund's retirement at a relative young age.:without a specific source cited, this is a NPOV-violation in being a weasel word-using sentence
 * The stock closed at $63.95 up $0.62 per share on the day.:Which market? Which day?

 * Steven S. Reinemund, director and CEO of PepsiCo Inc. announced his retirement effective in May, 2007. Reinemund, 58, said today he's leaving to spend more time with his family.:Was it a press release? Who did he say it to? Yes it was the press release in the sources: ";PepsiCo announced that Indra Nooyi, currently president and CFO, will take over for Reinemund.:When did PepsiCo say this? same press release
 * Nooyi's current position will be split in two and filled by Richard Goodman, 57, currently CFO of PepsiCo International, who will become CFO; and Hugh Johnston, 44, currently senior vice president of transformation, who was promoted to the newly created post of executive vice president of operations, procurement and information technology.:According to who, what source? Why is this sentence so long? (1) according to page two of the Reuters source. (2) I don't know, why don't you just break it into two or more sentences?
 * Nooyi, 50, is a Yale-educated daughter of a middle-class Indian family.:According to who/what source? Wikipedia
 * She will succeed Steven S. Reinemund, in October, the company said. :Finally a source, but no when they said it? What day was it said? In the press release of 8/14
 * Reinemund will stay with PepsiCo until May, 2007, to provide some overlap and continuity.:Unless this is cited in the paragraph, it is a NPOV violation - sice it is the opinion of the author. true, i removed the overlap/continuity part
 * Together, Nooyi and Reinemund have guided PepsiCo through several large take-overs and has seen the company overtake The Coca-Cola Company both in terms of sales and market value. Coca-Cola is still the no. 1 soft-drink maker as a significant portion of PepsiCo's sales come via brands Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats.:Needs a source. see the Bloomberg source, but also added source MSNBC for portion of non-drink brands.
 * Some on Wall Street were suprised by Reinemund's retirement at a relative young age.:without a specific source cited, this is a NPOV-violation in being a weasel word-using sentence removed "relatively young age"
 * The stock closed at $63.95 up $0.62 per share on the day.:Which market? Which day? Well, NYSE, added that - day of article of course - but added phrase "day of announcement" nonetheless

Unless you want each sentence footnoted I don't see your quarrell. Sincerely, --SVTCobra 00:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It was just sloppy reporting. Maybe it would help if more wikijournalists were following the Wikinews Style guide on reporting on future events (the future assumption of a role) and crediting sources (Style_guide)in the sentence to avoid reader confusion or allegations of copyright infringement. -- Davodd | Talk 22:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
