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] Demutualized?

Martin Tiedemann told me that Co-operative News reported the successful demutualization recently. He said this is backed up by http://www.cooperatives-uk.coop/live/cme1987.htm which is not necessarily a reliable source on its own. Could someone post the exact Co-op news issue or web address, and a brief quotation from the article? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 06:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I have added a reference to an article where Co-operatives UK state that M&F has been ruled out of membership. (Co-op News, October 2007). Martín (saying/doing) 09:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Actuallly demutualize with a 'z' is equally correct British spelling. See Oxford spelling. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk)

[edit] Interdict

I am not familiar with Scots law, and the source cited says 'injunction', perhaps making a loose translation to common law. If you have read the court papers, please add the citation. The more citations, the merrier. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 20:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

See this page for a list of examples of the use of 'interdict' in Scots law. If the original source used 'injunction', it will be because its author felt the need to "translate" the Scots remedy into the closest equivalent English remedy.
