Detailed information
I have an issue with the current information. A while back, I included a sufficient amount of information. Granted, there were some grammer issues, but it was difficult to compile all the information. Nobody else ever took the time to research it and so I stepped up. Even now it seems I am the only one that adds new material, if not, the article would be so short and unreliable. What ticked me was that instead of fixing the grammar, people decided to just nonchalantly remove sentences. The paragraphs now sound extremely choppy and there is now no flow to it all. It is just expressionless and dull. This issue begins with the "Rivival of Abercrombie & Fitch" section and just gets worst as the reading continues (especially in the very last section). So much information that was included in the last section has been removed. Why? Collegues please try to include the removed information back into the article. We should not be preoccupied in making the article as short as we can because it just constraints it and gets in the way of constructing an article a pleasure to read. For a recap, there was information on the cost of the Home Office, how A&F did not lower price points after 9/11, ect. -- Hpfan1 )talk) 28 April 2008, 20:25 (UTC)


 * I don't know what you're referring to. The article appears to have steadily grown longer. I don't see any "revival" section. Do you mean "1988 through 1999: Revival of Abercrombie & Fitch". But in general, if there's sourced informaiton then it should stay unless there's a good reason to remove it.   Will Beback    talk    00:45, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
