Trammell Crow Company

Trammell Crow Company article was a shopping center company. The Trammell Crow Company article was prodded and deleted as non-notable a while ago. Could an admin look at the deleted article to see if notability might be established after all? For information on the company's founder, see Trammell Crow. --Eastmain (talk) 03:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Shall this be considered your official request that a prod article be restored? With PROD, just like how anyone can remove the tag and end the process, anyone can request that a PROD article be restored. As an admin, I will happily restore it for you. Just say the word.

Useful resources

I sometimes find a search on Retail Traffic magazine's site at http://retailtrafficmag.com/ a good way to find information on a mall. The other resources listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Shopping_Centers#Resources are also helpful. --Eastmain (talk) 03:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Indian Springs Mall

I would suggest the Indian Springs Mall in Kansas City, Kansas be added to the "defuncted mall" list. Resource information can be found at www.labelscar.com/kansas/indian-springs-mall. It operates today as an under-utilized not for profit office building and flea market. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.123.109.214 (talk) 19:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Two problems. First of all, the defunct malls list which you speak of was deleted through the Articles for Deletion process. Secondly, labelscar.com, a blog, is not a reliable source for information. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Shopping Centers: Articles of unclear notability

Hello,

there are currently 22 articles in the scope of this project which are tagged with notability concerns. I have listed them here. (Note: this listing is based on a database snapshot of 12 March 2008 and may be slightly outdated.)

I would encourage members of this project to have a look at these articles, and see whether independent sources can be added, whether the articles can be merged into an article of larger scope, or possibly be deleted. Any help in cleaning up this backlog is appreciated. For further information, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Notability.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the Notability project page or on my personal talk page. (I'm not watching this page however.) Thanks! --B. Wolterding (talk) 16:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

• The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
• The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
• A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Shopping center

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:01, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I note that the articles chosen are Shopping mall and West Edmonton Mall. Any other articles that we should nominate? I haven't looked at them yet, but do the nominated articles need any work? Skeezix1000 (talk) 12:29, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, West Edmonton needs more sources and that damn trivia section removed. And how about the GA-class mall articles? Walden Galleria especially. (shameless plug) Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 12:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

"That damn trivia section" has been removed. No references on it whatsoever, so I just nuked it. SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:59, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Galeries d'Anjou, Anchors & Majors

Galeries d'Anjou#Anchors & Majors {{Unreferencedsection}} Could the contributor who added these data please reveal the source? Peter Horn 18:08, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

• Done. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 18:33, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
• Am I missing something? The floor plan used as a reference does not appear to contain gross floor areas, neither does it idenitify tenants as anchors or "majors". I might be missing the information, because the mall's website is pretty brutal, so I apologize if the information is obvious and I am just not seeing it. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:19, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

• Oops, I just saw the [1] and presumed it was a viable ref, so I moved it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 19:28, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Northpark Center

Hello, I'm having a slight disagreement with another editor concerning gross leasable area vs. total square feet. Could someone please stop by Talk:NorthPark Center and check out the discussion and perhaps clear up the disagreement. I appreciate your help, Postoak (talk) 04:22, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Logo in infobox

Hello, It would be good if some people could look at the discussion here. A logo and an image would be helpful and the logo could be used under the logo fair use policy. I don't see how adding a logo input to the infobox would do much harm if it only came up when entered. Thanks, JamesA ^>talk 11:28, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Coordinators' working group

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:33, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 09:40, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion

The article, Union Square (Pennsylvania), has been proposed for deletion due to notability concerns. --Polaron | Talk 13:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

The article Westmoreland Mall has also been proposed for deletion due to notability concerns. I've updated the article and added some sources to improve the article.71.61.229.247 (talk) 00:30, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
