Talk:Kaufmann's

Discussion

Would someone be able to take an exterior photo of a Kaufmann's store before the chain is converted to Macy's in August 2006? J2rome 06:23, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Why did you spam this message to several May Company store talk pages? Or did you want a picture of each and just forgot to change "Hecht's" to "Kaufmann's", etc.? Powers 20:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops! I am very sorry. I didn't mean to spam and I don't believe that I am. I am making photo requests as per Wikipedia guidelines. I obviously made a mistake in copying & pasting and forgetting to change the name on each individual page. Thank you for notifying me, I will correct all of my requests. ;) J2rome 07:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

This is odd

One of the Kaufmann's in our area changed it's name to Macy's and it was changed back to Kaufmann's Dudtz 8/9/06 6:08 PM EST

Content of article

It strikes me as odd that there is so much non-Kaufmann's info in this article. I realize May owned Kaufmann's, but I think the whole section about how May owned all the major department stores in Pittsburgh needs to perhaps be in the May company article. NickBurns 18:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Article Update

I took the liberty of updating and almost completely re-writing the Kaufmann's article. I've been storing information from newspapers and doing research on the now-defunct department store. As this is a hobby and not a career, it's taken me some time to find information. I'll add more as I can. --Write On 1983 01:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:KF frontpage logo.gif

Image:KF frontpage logo.gif 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 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.

Image copyright problem with File:CelebrateSeasonParadeLogo.jpg

The image File:CelebrateSeasonParadeLogo.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Stand-alone stores

I think it would be helpful to the topic to describe and list some of the stand-alone stores built under the Kaufmann's name. I would include the following information for each, if available:

• Location
• Date of construction and opening
• Date of closing
• Fate of the building

There was a stand-alone store in Monroeville, PA, just SW of the Business 22/Route 48 intersection. It closed approximately 1984. Kaufmann's moved to become an anchor tenant in Monroeville Mall. The store was renovated to become a car dealership. (All of the above is from memory. Of course it would be preferable to have access to a trusted, more complete source.)

under the clock

"materifamousals" does not seem to be a word -- but I'm not sure what to replace it with. Maybe "famous" was accidently inserted into "materials"... but that doesn't clarify anything. PurpleChez (talk) 20:16, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Looks like I was removing the vague "famous" claim and somehow ended up dropping it in elsewhere.[1] - SummerPhD^v2.0 03:40, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
