I moved the page from "American Eagle (retailer)" to American Eagle Outfitters, the full technical name of the company. A few pages, which were already linking to "American Eagle Outfitters" have been satisfied with other pages linking to the old term having been changed.

Good job with re-doing the article :)

• I noticed a discrepancy between the entry for American Eagle Outfitters and that of its CEO, Jay L. Schottenstein. The AE entry attributes Schottenstein and others with owning a 14% stake in the company, whereas his personal entry credits him with 26.5%. I'm not knowledgeable on how to go about fixing/annotating these things in wikipedia.

I noticed you said that American Eagle was founded in 1904. Well then, how come all my shirts from American Eagle say 1977 on them. Please either correct that misleading fact, for cite your source... thanks, bosmith319.

This has little to do with the article adrressing: "The companies have each created picture logos to brand several of their products; American Eagle Outfitters' being a landing eagle, Aeropostale's a standing bulldog for boys and butterfly for girls, Abercrombie & Fitch's a standing moose, and Hollister flying seagull. The usage of animals for logos imitates previously established companies such as Polo Ralph Lauren (using a Polo horse) and Lacoste (using a snapping crocodile). Additionally, American Eagle emphasizes on their date of establishment, 1977, in their marketing and design, branding the majority of their products with the date." each one of these pages should have that info, it is irrelevanto to know what lacoste or hollister, firtime introduced here, have for mascots.

That is relevent. Based off the fact that AE didn't always use the "Stylized Eagle" until Abercrombie (and sister company Hollister) started using the Moose. I've also tagged the article as not referencing sourcing. 69.15.176.66 17:53, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
