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] Foley's to Macy's

One user has been changing all the Foley's stores to Macy's in this article. Should the name be changed to Macy's or the name should remain Foley's until September 9, 2006? Bucs2004 04:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep it Foley's

I think for historical purposes it should stay Foley's. There is already a Macy's South and West list on the Macy's WIKI page. It would be good to see how Foley's was before it becomes Macy's. Not to mention, I doubt that many of the new Foley's-Macy's will make it. Research Macy's history in Texas to see how successful Macy's has been here. Macy’s is a great store, I just don’t see that many Macy’s making it here, given all the trouble Macy’s has had in the past in the Texas market with Macy’s and Bloomindales. --020808 22:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree keep it Foley's for historical puroposes. There are several articles on defunct retail chains, for example Joske's, which was purchased by and renamed Dillard's.

I do disagree however with the assertion that Macy's will not "make it" in the Texas market. The troubles Macy's had in Texas were more a matter of bad timing. They (Macy's & Bloomingdale's) were not the only chains that entered the market just before the collapse of Texas' real estate, banking and energy industries in the mid-eighties. Marshall Field's as well as Lord & Taylor both expanded and retreated from the Texas market during that time. IceBRG 19:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

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. 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.
