.[edit]

I'm not an author, so doubt I could do any better, but this page appears to be copied pretty much directly from Advance's website. Just wanted to make that point.Kf4mgz 23:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV tag[edit]

This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 21:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Advance is no longer the second larest auto parts chain, it was surpassed by O'Reilly in 2010. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.247.118.245 (talk) 16:41, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Name change[edit]

At some time, the company was known as "Advanced Auto Parts." The name was changed, but this article doesn't even mention it, as if it was always "Advance."

The first parts of the "History" need to say "Advanced," and an entry needs to be made for the name change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.59.53.177 (talk) 12:09, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Written like an advertisement[edit]

Parts of this are written with a very large bias towards the company in a way that doesn't reflect neutrality. The entire section dedicated to "inclusivity and diversity" is probably the best example of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.23.85.10 (talk) 02:32, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
