Woolworths Supermarkets (New Zealand) → Woolworths (New Zealand) — Consistency with other articles (South Africa, Cyprus) which while not supermarkets demonstrate the same trend. Also the common name in NZ is Woolworths not Woolworths Supermarkets. The Australian page should probably also be renamed but thats an argument for a different place.

Motto??

Not that anyone cares, but it appears that the new "motto" for Progressive Supermarkets have all changed to "Shop Smarter". Woolworths loosing "The Real Fresh Food People", Countdown loosing "You Can Count on Us to Keep Prices Down" and not too sure about Foodtown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.93.33.136 (talk) 02:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
