Thanks for starting this article. You write that the wikipedia article is horrible, but I don't agree, IMHO it's not bad. They start with "A brand is the identity of a specific product, service, or business" and say that registered brands are trademarks, both valid characterizations IMHO. Your text says: "The brand is a larger entity that a place advertises itself as part of." This is IMHO not correct. Take automotive. A car seller doesn't advertise himself to be part of say Ford. He simply sells Ford cars (in accordance with Ford). I suggest to put: "Use brand to refer to a brand. Brands are identities of a specific product, service, or business and are often registered as trademarks." The rest could be clear from the examples.
