[edit] Beginning talk page
Just wanted to start the discussion page, that's all.
(67.169.192.214 05:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC))Just an ex-employee here who noticed that the corporate page does indeed claim that the name WinCo means 'Winning Company'. It seems that "Winning Company WinCo" have not only developed a fine aptitude for revisionism but have need of a professional publicist as well! Stick with the acronym--you do want people to take you seriously don't you? (Besides it's the truth!)
- It's the company's official statement, and revisionist or not, should be mentioned. Owen 06:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copy and Paste
Although not an exact copy, this article is very similiar and contains many phrases from the history section of the companies websiteFastFoodKnight 23:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Origin and Meaning of Store Name
I was told by a store employee, that the store is called "Winco", because of the five states there are locations in (Washington, Idaho, Nevada, California and Oregon.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Garr1984 (talk • contribs) 03:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Winco2.gif
Image:Winco2.gif 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 insure 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 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.
