About the tag declaring this article is under the jurisdiction of WikiProject Retailing
This article has a tag on its talk page declaring that it is under the jurisdiction of WikiProject Retailing. Fair enough - after all, this seems the most logical WikiProject group to watch over this particular article. However, I have just been to the page for that WikiProject for the first time ever today (January 8 2013) and noticed that it has a tag declaring that the WikiProject is believed to be inactive. This would imply that this tag should be removed. I should say that the tag on the WikiProject Retailing page (or it might have been the talk page for that WikiProject group) said that if the tag had been placed in error or if the WikiProject group gets active again, the tag can be removed. Indeed, looking at the history of the WikiProject, I see that it had some work quite recently (late December 2012) so may be the tag should be removed. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Astor Market
I am not sure what, exactly, was innovative about the Astor Market, but the contemporary accounts of it treat it as innovative, and it certainly reads as a failed stepping stone on the way to the modern supermarket.

Spelling/Grammar
There are a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes throughout the article, particularly in the second half. Somebody should probably go through and review that, it makes the article irritating to read and caused me to skip over quite a lot of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.230.247.253 (talk) 10:47, 18 August 2013

Spambot error?
The spambot seems to have caught a perfectly legitimate academic research site. I've posted a request for an exception over at Wikipedia_talk:Spam-exceptions. Choor monster (talk) 16:38, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
