Talk:Ruehl No.925

Rewrite
This page needs a complete overhaul by someone with some unbiased knowledge of the retail industry. It could stand to be about 10% of its current length; perhaps it can be merged into the main Abercrombie & Fitch page. (To wit, Baby Gap doesn't have it's own page.) As is, the text reads like a dim-witted high school freshman's idea of how intelligent adults speak; overwrought, ungrammatical musings like "incontrovertibly complete unique experience" and "more sophisticated than of what is expected at A&F" don't belong on Wikipedia, or in the English language.

Message to whomever worked on the RNY History and Ruehl No. 925 Today parts of this article: you can totally dig the $40 flip-flops daddy bought you without waxing interminable about the company that made them on the Internet. You're too young to be so insipid.38.105.203.42 (talk) 17:40, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I took it upon myself to make this into a legitimate article. If anyone is interested, please assist me in making this concise, objective, and readable. Thanks! Endasher (talk) 18:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Target Audience
I see the urban New York theme, how ever I don't agree that RUEHL is targeted at a older audience (even though that's the company line). I work at Abercrombie & Fitch and the clothes are almost exactly the same at RUEHL. The main diffrence is the RUEHL clothes are slightly bigger; when people who are large size come into Abercrombie are on the larger side I direct them to Ruehl.

.......they're not bigger at RUEHL and if they are slightly it's because they cater to the older post college kids who are officially adults and hence a bit bigger...i thought it was abercrombie policy that they're not allowed to address larger people? not to be mean..btw there is a un-noticable difference in the clothes btw. anf and R.925, the clothes from R. are made of slightly better material and have a better construction, not to mention the wash and fits and location of production are different too. -CENTPLYR-

Color Scheme
Isn't their color scheme a dark burgundy red instead of "Blue" ??

you can change it back if you don't agree! :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Centplyr (talk • contribs) 21:54, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Name Punctuation
Is it all capitalized? I've seen it both ways, but one should redirect to the other, methinks. WikiSailor 22:45, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It is, officially, RUEHL No.925. --Samweber 21:41, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Store Locations
I believe there is already a Florida store open, either at Mall of Millenia in Orlando, or International Plaza in Tampa. Definitely somewhere in Central Florida.
 * There is already an existing Ruehl in Florida, but this new one at Aventura is in Miami-Dade County on the east coast of Florida while Tampa is on the west coast. Its not that unusual, since there are two Ruehls in the Chicago area: Oakbrook and Woodfield.
 * One of the first stores was located at International Plaza. There are no other stores currently in Florida, although they are looking to expand soon... namely one in the Mall of Millenia (the author above states one in Aventura, however, it does not exist yet). Several high ranking executives have been seen scouting out the malls. --Samweber 21:41, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

'''I have changed "Upcoming Locations" to "Speculated Locations", as Upcoming is inferred as announced or offical and Speculated is inferred as an educated inference. This change will give more credibility to this article.'''

Opening dates - source?
I'm interested in knowing how some of these dates and locations have come to be. It states nothing that I can see on their official website about most of these. Also, why have two sections? It seems to me that the Future Locations in the Works section is just speculation. --Samweber 23:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Multiple edits (fyi)
I did a bunch of edits but forgot to login. 69.56.219.218 == me. Cheers. --Koder 16:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not an advertisment
Praise uncited, or from a "source" like a shareholder's meeting, is most likely out-of-place on Wikipedia. This is not a vessel for anybody to market their products as being "upscale," etc! BlackberryLaw 01:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

uhh... it doesn't matter, it's describing the brand. What's the big deal? If someone wants to google "ruehl" because they have no idea what it is, and the wikipedia article just says that it has "clothing" then how will they know it's not like any other store. (Centplyr (talk) 12:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC))

Actually, it DOES matter. Wikipedia is not an advertisment - see Spam and [Wikipedia:What_wikipedia_is_not]]. You can't be putting uncited crap in an article like "These clothes are said to resemble those of XYZ brand," or "This is a shrewd marketing move on the part of ABC Inc." Save it for the corporate website. BlackberryLaw (talk) 01:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The user at 68.41.29.65 has undone the anti-advertising edits without comment on the talk page. Their user contribution page shows that they have almost exclusively edited the Ruehl page - probably a Ruehl or Abercrombie employee. If 68.41.29.65 or anyone else wants to dispute edits, please talk about it on the talk page first! Otherwise, it just looks like annoying vandalism. BlackberryLaw (talk) 08:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

omg this is so F*ing ridiculous because when i came to wikipedia for the first time when i didn't know what ruehl was, the page/article was very detailed and descriptive and told me everything i could want to know...it's extremely stupid for you to make it as broad as possible to "make sure it's not an advertisement" because it loses detail and facts which can give any person a better idea of what ruehl is... stop being extreme wiki nazis and abusing power and saying things are "advertisements" and are un-cited therefore don't exist ( Centplyr (talk) 12:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC) )

If you don't like Wikipedia's content policies, you're free to use another encyclopedia, start your own, or write for Abercrombie itself. Things like "This is a shrewd advertising move" are clearly POV and, completely apart from that, don't provide users with a better understanding of the article's subject! BlackberryLaw (talk) 02:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

don't provide users with a better understanding of the article's subject! are you high?... ok i give up but, still you're so unbelievably wrong it's not even funny. take your current wikipedia policies and shove them. ( Centplyr (talk) 12:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC) ) This store doesn't exist anymore so how can this be an ad?

Declining
How come someone deleted all the part of the declining of RUEHL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I worked really hard on that...!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.251.86.52 (talk) 22:35, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

because there is a wiki nazi who is watching this article and he's deleting everything that's "irrelevant" even though it's not at all. he's just being an a****** (Centplyr (talk) 12:39, 15 January 2008 (UTC))

I looked up Wiki on Ruehl and found what I was looking for...........sorry somebody thinks it's an advertisement. At least now it can be called past history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.226.166.160 (talk) 02:26, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Upcoming locations
I have searched the internet extensively today for sources for all upcoming locations. I found a source for all but one. In the future, we should keep our eye our for any vandalism that is added to the upcoming list without a source. Very few Ruehl stores will be opening up in the next year or two, and people are making up all kinds of stuff about where stores are supposedly coming. If you have information about a store that is confirmed, please add the store with a source. Thanks. PanzaM22 (talk) 17:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)  Mike

Still written like an ad
I have restored the article's advert tag. It is still loaded with subjective language, some examples: and that's just in the first paragraph. Other parts sound like they're straight out of a corporate glossy. --CliffC (talk) 19:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "an upscale American lifestyle brand"
 * "inspired by the artistic and cultural heritage of New York City's Greenwich Village"
