Metropolitan statistical areas

Is it necessary to break the former store locations down by combined metropolitan areas, metropolitan statistical areas and divisions? I think it would be simpler just to list the stores by state and city. --Metropolitan90 16:00, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

How about a table similar to Dayton's? I know I'll get criticized here because many articles about defunct retail chains do this in list format; however it's readability that I'm concerned about which is why I believe a table format would be better. Tuxide 04:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I have started Wikipedia:WikiProject Retailing/Listings of former locations for those who care to take part in the discussion on it. I am seeing more people ask about listings of store locations since this discussion was initially brought up. Tuxide 09:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:A&SlogoPNG.PNG

I found Image:A&SlogoPNG.PNG and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:A&SlogoPNG.PNG

Image:A&SlogoPNG.PNG 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 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.

If there is other 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.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 04:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Additional Forgotten Logo

Visible in this picture, http://pcullinan.smugmug.com/Brooklyn/The-Myrtle-Avenue-El/Myrtle-Ave-El-Oct-1969/Oct-1969-Myrtle-Av-El-C/782715250_9Ufm4-M.jpg c1969 when the Myrtle Avenue elevated closed down. I grew up with it in the 70's, and this was what was directly replaced by that newer one in 1976. I never saw the older one before. I'm trying to clean this one up (it pixellates when you blow it up to the size of the others, of course), and it's the only place I ave ever been able to find it online. It should not be forgotten about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric B (talk • contribs) 22:16, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
