Homebase in the USA?
There was a DIY retailer named Homebase in the US years ago. I believe that all of its stores in the US have closed. Was this part of the same company as the UK retailer? Kalmia 07:22, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * No, was a completely separate company, Sainsbury's Homebase was part of Sainsbury plc which partly owned Shaws and Star Supermarkets in the USA — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.213.85.203 (talk • contribs) 20:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Homebase, Make a house a home.jpg
Image:Homebase, Make a house a home.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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Any objection to removing this section on the grounds of it bein un-encyclopedic? RaseaC (talk) 17:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I have completely revamped this section, moving towards a more encyclopedic approach. What should make this section relevant is the fact that HB was the first to use central warehousing in its sector, and others followed, making a substantial change in the market- however, I don't know a reference for this.  Anyone? IceDragon64 (talk) 22:11, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

The Sainbury's bit on the bottom
What exactly is that bit on the bottom? It is quite misleading as it shows all kind of misleading links, such as a link to Nectar, which was developed after HB had its own loyalty card and financial services, when HB has its own, different, financial services. Keeping HB linked in this way, when HB is part of another retail group, is not very helpful. Comments? IceDragon64 (talk) 21:56, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Internet sales?
Could/should we have something here about HB having its own internet sales now?
