Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge Here are some tasks you can do: Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: T.J. Maxx reads like advert; see talk page discussion 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.

This entire article reads like an advertisement--Everett3 08:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree. This page sounds more like an Ad more than an article. I don't know too many details about the subject so I can't change it but somebody should look into changing it a little bit.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Renacakes (talk • contribs).

Seems Ok to me. Citations would be nice though. Naysie 05:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reasonably good article

you guys don't know what real commercial spam would look like: it would be an article here listing all of their major products--not just mentioning a few major product lines-- with links to individual product websites, with WP articles about every major line, with a 4 paragraph bio of the founder, with a paragraph on each executive, linked to their personal websites, if possible to articles about some of them, and with links to every worldwide associated company, and to every individual division in the company.

This is a remarkably sober article for a major company--too sober if anything--and I have tagged it for expansion. There are major topics not discussed in enough depth, including their sales methods which have been widely imitated, its method of franchising, etc. , though they are mentioned in the first paragraph. Astoundingly, there is not even a WP article on the founder!

Most articles for companies this size have --appropriately--much more information on the financial and corporate history. This part really needs expansion.

If you are wondering, I have no connection with the company, never use their products, and ignore their ads. DGG 04:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Avon logo.png

Image:Avon logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Network Marketing Companies

[1] I have worked with many MLM companies and this one is the only one that I have been able to make any money with. Sure the other ones have people making money and I don;t think they are doing anything wrong.Gpw123 19:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
