Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge  Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: WikiProject Retailing userbox Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: Listings of store locations Expand: Store manager, List of articles on project page, image gallery on project page, Hypermarket (history section), Category killer - This is very US/Canada centric - Ikea exists elsewhere, too. Stubs: Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Archer Farms, ClearRx Other: Department store - discriminate between itself and Discount store. Category killer - If a Category Killer dominates its area, why are there many stores listed per category? There should be clear criteria for when a store is included, otherwise this just becomes an advertising page.

Crazy Eddie has been listed as a good article under the good-article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can delist it, or ask for a review.

The supposition of cybersquatting at the end of the article seems entirely unfounded; the article states that Crazy Eddie made its comeback during the time period from 1999 to 2004, and the claim at the end of the article supposes that the domain was grabbed after the company's "demise"; however, the whois record to which that claim refers also states that the domain has been registered in its current form since 1997. It's possible that it was sold in the aftermath of bankruptcy, but I can't see an explanation for cybersquatting. I'm removing the claim until someone can substantiate it.

I'd still like to see more about the company's product line and the reasons for its successes, but the documenting of its corruption and downfall is good enough to satisfy me. Durova 04:12, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
