[edit] Advertising
This article is shameless, bold-faced advertising - right down to its posting of weekly promotions, coupons and scratch and saves --Andrew Saxton 23:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

- I think your posting in the wrong place, I cant see any Advertsing in it. DXRAW 09:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

- If you're talking about the promotions section, I'd hardly call it advertising considering it's relatively small size. Jack Nelson 09:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't like the line about "Since it's humble beginnings, Coles has improved..." thats fairly high on the bs meter.. The Bi-Lo page is worse tho.. look under their "values" section..
[edit] Photos
Can somebody please provide a third option about the placing & size of the image Colesadelaide.jpg image please. DXRAW 12:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC) --Personally, I think it looks odd that small. Giorgos 14:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 500 Stores Nationwide
Is that number on the page, of 500+ stores across Australia, inclusive or not of the stores that have changed from BI-LO's to Coles? --203.173.45.223 12:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, that number has actually been there since before the conversion plans were announced, I'd say the number needs an update. Jack Nelson 09:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No Circle in logo
For the current time, Coles is using their current logo without the circle. I guess this is a transitional logo to fill in the gap between the old logo & the new logo. --Brayds2006 04:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Tick Removed. - Boochan 10:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Don't go by what the ads do. Coles seem to be changing around every couple of weeks. Dollar Dazzlers for a 2 weeks, then gone again, new ad theme (that probably wont last long), 'Fresh' theme in store that'll probably be gone in the next fortnight. They're very unpredictable at the moment. Neoballmon II 12:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Unpredictable? You should try working for them! As a former store manager, it was nothing short of impossible to keep up to date with every single change in branding, management, governance or the like. 60.241.240.218 04:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Departmental minutiae
This article suffers from the same fate as many similar retail entries with unnecessary reference to the inner workings of the store. How a supermarket internally organizes its departments is not notable or verifiable by third party sources. This detail I assume is provided by well-intentioned employees, but has no place in Wikipedia. To date, I have resisted deleting entire swathes of unremarkable info such as "the fresh produce department looks after fruit and vegetables" but suggest perhaps a more bold approach might be in order. Murtoa 12:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- I've now removed non-notable material in line with above , retaining any material potentially notable which may be points of difference. Murtoa 04:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Private Label
The three split stubs for the private label brands are un-needed and the reference they have in the main Coles article is plenty. I propose to merge them (effectively deleting them since their content is already in the main article). --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 08:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Totally agree. Not in any sense notable topics on their own, and would probably be subject of speedy deletes otherwise. Murtoa 05:50, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pictures
What is the reason for removing the pictures of the interior of the Coles store? It indicates what it looks like inside. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.216.22 (talk) 21:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
