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.

[edit] Korvette is not Korean Vet...

Please be advised that Eight Jewish Korean Vets derivation of the name is on its face ahistorical and has been completely discredited. That the founder himself contradicted the Eight Jewish... derivation is certainly helpful, but the real discrediting comes in simple chronology. The name was coined at Korvette's founding in 1948--two years before war broke out in Korea, and even longer before anyone would have considered himself a Korean War Veteran. This alone torpedos the legend.KevinCuddeback 18:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup
