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.

[edit] Caption

I think that the caption of the photo needs changing - it is completely irrelevant to the picture, and contains a external link to a word document. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.176.105.36 (talk) 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hopefully the one I added today is better. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 19:34, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Community involvement

The following does not seem encyclopedic.

The Midcounties Co-operative does a lot for local communities, including giving grants to community groups. There is a lot of information on how the society helps different communities on their website.

Perhaps someone can propose a better way of phrasing it. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 19:34, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Membership.jpg

Image:Membership.jpg 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 this Wikipedia article 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
