 * As I've said a number of times, there must be articles about the companies on Wikipedia for the companies to be included in this list. We are not an indiscriminate collection of information. Please look over WP:SPAM and realise that Wikipedia is not a linkfarm. We don't allow just any links to companies which we don't discuss in an encyclopedic manner, as we are first and foremost an encyclopedia.  If you want to promote those links, there are other options for you, such as posting them on Dmoz. If you believe the companies are notable enough for inclusion, please create an account here and then you can write them yourself, but they shouldn't be linked until the articles are written first.

To my experience, a popular food brand usually can appear in big supermarket chains such as Coles and Woolworths. For some reasons, the online store of Woolworths can not be accessed for the purpose of verifications on those popular food brands--222.67.211.238 (talk) 08:49, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Links on this page do not need to be "verified". The criteria for adding a company to this list is whether there is already a Wikipedia article about that company.  Astronaut (talk) 10:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

It's not true See comment at the discussion section of Doritos

The Asutralia section needs to be validated by http://www.woolworths.com.au/ if one can access to the site. My access is limited by that site--58.38.40.152 (talk) 12:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Which discussion on Talk:Doritos?
 * I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "Validation" or "verification". Such a thing is irrelevant and unncecessary.

 * What? These links are all in Chinese.  The first link is a collection of food product images related to the search terms "amber walnut food", the second link doesn't display at all (error: "403 - forbidden"), the third is the official site of the company in the red link, the fourth is totally unreadable (first line is "Ê³Æ·Ìí¼Ó¼Á»ù±¾ÖªÊ") but translates as something about food additives, and the last link is something about food labelling (again in Chinese).  Apart from the official site, how are any of these links anything to do with the red link added to the article.  The red link itself adds nothing to the list and the links supplied above are largely irrelevant.  To appear in this list, a company should already have an existing article written about them.

This page only allows addition of listings for companies which already have wikipedia articles written about them. From your list, I was able to add A101, Banvit, TEKEL, and Ülker. Apikoğlu, Anadolu Efes, and Yıldız Holding were already present. Dimes has a blue link in your request, but there does not appear to be an article for the Turkish company on Wikipedia.

Lowe's hardware for food as of now?
Could someone correct the link to the following for Foods distribution & retail category in the United States of America? It is listing the main Lowe's (hardware) page as that company is bigger but I think should be listed for Lowe's Foods. Last I knew in recent years the hardware store does not and has not had for recent decades have a grocery aisle like Menard's does. Yes there is some history but currently the most relevant is the following link:
