The following things are concerning me:


 * In 1945, he met Butler Brothers, a regional retailer. This sentence could be worded better.

 * On June 30, 2008, Walmart unveiled a new company logo, featuring the non-hyphenated name "Walmart" and in place of the star, a symbol that resembles a sunburst or flower. Not sure about the wording
 * ✅ CorporateM (Talk) 14:26, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * It lets customers find new foods for a fee of $7 a month from the comfort of the couch. Sounds like an advertisement?

 * While it's little known outside of the drug industry. Not sure about tone of that sentence

 * The first Walmart store opened in Rogers, Arkansas in 1962. Does this belong in the "Walmart Discount Stores" section?


 * Alot of info in "Walmart Discount Stores" seems to be repeated in the following section
 * tags still present
 * [when?] tag still present
 * (spelled as in Canadian English) ?
 * Several reasons led to Wal-mart's failure in the German market.

 * Walmart International section could perhaps be split up?
 * Walmart is headquartered in the Wal-Mart Home Office complex in Bentonville, Arkansas. The company's business model is based on selling a wide variety of general merchandise at "always low prices."[9] They refer to their employees as "associates". All Wal-Mart stores in the US and Canada also have designated "greeters" at the store entrance, a practice pioneered by founder Sam Walton and later copied by other retailers. This just seems like a list of some features of walmart
 * Each week, about 100 million customers, nearly one-third of the U.S. population, visit Walmart's U.S. stores (200 million according to Walmart's website) Make up your mind?
 * ✅ I removed it. One source was Walmart's website (for the 100 million claim) and another was a slideshow (for the 1/3rd of America). I think extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources, and that was more like infotainment news. CorporateM (Talk) 14:35, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * In June 2006, Walmart was excluded from the investment portfolio of The Government Pension Fund of Norway. Not sure this deserves a mention? Im sure other investors have excluded them too.

 * The entire Employee and labor relations section just seems to keep pushing the same points every paragraph: Walmart is BAD, they are ANTI-UNION, they are ANTI-EVERYTHING. I dont see how you could have a favourable view of walmart after reading that section. Please document some poitive reviews of Walmart also. It isnt helped that it is linked to an article critiscm of walmart.
 * ✅ This is a big edit, so the original author may get mad at me, but I moved it to summary style, since the Criticisms of Walmart article is GA and has a good sub-section lead. CorporateM (Talk) 14:44, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * In response, WWU received a 'Dear Customer' letter from Wal-Mart. Elaborate?
 * ✅ removed in move to summary style


 * I would recomend removing most of the employee and labour relations into the critiscm article, and leaving a more balanced viewpoint in the main article. The section is fartoo long and doesnt flow when reading.
 * ✅ removed in move to summary style

Unfortunately i have to put your article on hold until some improvements are made. Thanks! Retrolord (talk) 22:50, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
