New edits
Trying to reach consensus on my last edit which was labeled as "white washing" and "promotion;" I condensed several parts of the article that were outdated and broken up. For example, you would read about current news then it would jump back to the 70's. The only other additional edits I made was the removal of two photos which if you read the article take up space and don't account for nearly as much. The store moved four times, the first photo is from a short lived store that was mentioned in one line and existed briefly over 170 years ago. The other is an outdated photo of the 5th avenue store and claims to represent the building before the renovations they're starting in 2019. The second photo in my opinion can be relevant but should be a better photo if used for this purpose. Any thoughts? Flossypossie98 (talk) 00:20, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I've restored the original version while this is under discussion. These are clearly not minor edits despite Flossypossie98's use of the minor edit box,. They were undone as "promotional, whitewashing, and not an improvement" by user:ScrapIronIV, and  there has been no discussion of the material. It's not appropriate to restore challenged material, and it seems odd to start an RFC before attempting to discuss the issue. Meters (talk) 00:15, 12 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Your description of your edits omits that you also edit-warred to remove all mention of store closures - first arguing that this did not march the section heading "Further expansion" (instead of just adjusting that heading yourself), then arguing they are not relevant (despite retaining several individual openings). That does not look like an NPOV approach to me. Regards, HaeB (talk) 06:21, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Summoned by bot. The requester has been blocked for sock puppetry, so I didn't worry too much about their specific requests, but instead went through and made some grammatic and content changes.  Seems relatively OK now. The only significant info that could be added might be some history and current info about the four outlet stores mentioned in the lede, yet unsubstantiated by the sourcing.

New Photos
Does any one else think the photos are a little too busy? I think a gallery should be created for the older photos and perhaps the addition of more of the photos on Wikipedia. Thoughts? Mariahegsdream (talk) 03:07, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Since half of the photos in the article are of stores that haven’t been in operation for 100-170 years I’m moving them to a gallery and replacing them with photos from the last 10-15 years. If anyone thinks something different should be done let me know Mariahegsdream (talk) 03:50, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
