Redirects

I've turned a lot of really minor articles that were listed under WP:PROD into redirects to this article. Reason for doing so basically boils down to this: We don't need the article, but we do want something to sit in the space to "fill" it to make it less encouraging to start another minor article that's not going to go anywhere.

Doesn't wal-mart also sell 725 originals and B.U.M equipment?

Removed info

Try to keep in mind this is first and foremost a list, not a full-fledged article. I removed some information about the peanut butter recall in the USA for this reason. There was a note about ConAgra being the maker of WM peanut butter, which although technically useful for the list, is probably not feasible to do for everything on the list.

Works for me, especially when you consider that ConAgra is only one of a number of places that makes GV PB for WM. SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the change. The recall is not specific to Wal-Mart and does not need to be mentioned in an article about Wal-Mart. Tuxide 21:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Does "Try to keep in mind this is first and foremost a list, not a full-fledged article" mean that product indcidents involving the brand should be removed? First, in April 2007, you removed the mention of Salmonella-poisoned Great Value brand peanut butter. Now, in October 2007, you have also removed information about Salmonella-poisoned Great Value brand turkey and chicken pot pies. So ... where can information about the history of "Product Incidents" concerning the Great Value brand name be displayed in Wikipedia? Must they go on the Wal-Mart page instead? Are you saying that there is no page on the Great Value brand at Wikipedia where such information can be shown? I am sincerely curious. cat Catherineyronwode 01:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In both cases, these involved products made by ConAgra Foods. It is mentioned on ConAgra's page about all the recalls. That's ultimately where it ought to go, because it's ultimately their product, but it's sold under a variety of labels. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You are expecting the average reader to know that Great Value foods are made by ConAgra. How will they find out? I recall the public's shock and outrage during this year's pet food poisoning recall, when it turned out that more than 100 brands -- from high-end Science Diet to Wal-Mart's Old Roy brand -- were all made in the same factory. The subject of sub-contracting of foods and pet feed is important to readers, and it is on-topic for publishing in an encyclopedia article about Wal-Mart, in my opinion. cat Catherineyronwode 12:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As much as I hate defending Wal-Mart, in this case, you kind of answered your own question in your response to me. In both cases that you cited, it's one company making a product under a variety of brands. Thus it's not the retailer, but rather the manufacturer of the product. In other words, it's not a Wal-Mart issue. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with catherineyronwode. Its clearly notable. The argument made by ScguminWeb that since they outsourced the manufacturing to another company, that the safety issues not longer apply is clearly wrong. They picked the company they choose to outsource it to. They have had several serious re-calls of their product. Its clearly notable. 68.188.25.170 (talk) 06:00, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ilo

In Wal-Mart, "ilo" means tools for listening to music and watching movies. In Toki Pona, "ilo" also means tool. Coincidence? Or am I crazy? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 18:32, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Asda smart price logo.jpg

Image:Asda smart price logo.jpg 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

What does this sentence mean?

...we are struck by the magnitude of mind-share Wal-Mart appears to hold in shoppers' minds when it comes to awareness of private label brands and retailers. Sentriclecub (talk) 14:03, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roadmaster to list

Roadmaster is Walmart's own brand/label for bicycles. I think they only sell one "style" - the Mountain Sport, for about 69.99 - it's gotta be the cheapest bike they sell. Aside from the "Quest" bike that they had limited quantities of, selling for $35-40 for Black Friday promotions. --67.34.188.252 (talk) 19:04, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Marketed by Wal-Mart

Are the brands such as Great Value which are marketed by Wal-Mart actually products of the USA or are they imports? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.75.81.79 (talk) 14:05, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the Walmart store brand items are imports, but not all. Almost all candles are made in the USA and a good portion if not all of the food is as well. Just flip them over and read the packaging to make sure. IsaacSapphire (talk) 07:43, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Defunct Walmart Brands and incompleteness of list

I've added a note that Metro 7 is no longer used. I think that some of the other brands listed may also be discontinued or have had name changes. I've also changed the text under the Life brand to reflect a statement from Jockey that discontinuing the women's line was Walmart's idea, not theirs. I added the George brand, which Walmart has used for quite a while, and I'm pretty sure that there are other brands not on the list. For one thing, if the Christmas "brand" is listed here, the Halloween one should be too.

Full disclosure: I'm a non-management hourly Walmart employee. IsaacSapphire (talk) 07:43, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relion redirects here but isn't mentioned anywhere within the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.165.100 (talk) 03:11, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
