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] Just a big advertisement for Topshop

I must remember to log out as it wasn't me that contributed here.Ceedoubleu

This entry is mostly worthless, just an advertisment. "Topshop is an outlet for girls who enjoy changing their clothes on a regular basis..." ? Give me a break. That's like "America is a place for people who love freedom and hate bad people." --BlackberryLaw 20:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Today, I did what I could in an attempt to make the entry less like an advertisement. As an entry, it just sucks in general. BlackberryLaw 23:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I tidied this rticle up abit last night, added afew links to some other wiki's, The stuff written on TopshopUSA is of really poor quality, if it isnt tided up i may delete it. Sheep21 1:24am, 24 July 2006

I'm studyin topshop and need to know the meanings behind the company. what are the ideologies conveyed through the models, clothes etc. also the political economy (study of production, arts of selling and buying, the relationship between production and consumption)any help here? would be grateful.

I think you are looking in the wrong place for the above information to be honest. What you have requested as added info would be an interely different topic and would also be based a lot on individual opinion which is not what this sight is about. Its a n encyclopedia and not a text book.

I deleted " Young females cannot afford the ridiculous prices they are currently asking for their average-quality clothes." as it wasn't neutral Pippa.rose 13:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DRCG

There is really a CHAIN of stores in the Congo? Does it deserve any more of a mention with it being at the top of the article instead of at the bottom with the other international locations?

Hi, Not an experienced user of this, please be aware that Topshop does not have stores in Austria

[edit] Fashionable?

In the 1980s TopShop was deeply unfashionable, its successful re-invention as a fashionable brand is an astonishing marketing success.

"Deeply unfashionable" according to whom? Fashion is subjective - without a source, the above statement is opinion, not fact.

It would be more neutral to define Topshop's progress in terms of commercial success, rather than "fashionability". 217.155.20.163 17:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
