The Centre at Salisbury
Anchors should not be added in list format per WP:ANCHORS. Also, only the first word in section headings is capitalized, unless it is a proper noun such as The Centre at Salisbury. David (talk) 20:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Almost every mall listed on Wikipedia includes a list of anchor stores and their square footage when applicable research is available.


 * Just because it's done that way, doesn't mean it's correct. You now have the opportunity to fix them.David (talk) 20:05, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

If the majority of them are done that way, why do you care if this mall is done that way or not? I'm not going to go through every mall in the United States and correct what is the general format of the Wikipedia articles.


 * WP:ANCHORS states "Do not put the anchor stores in a list format." This goes to the age old saying, if everyone jumps off a bridge, would you? The essay on anchors states not to list anchors.  The anchors are incorporated into the article, and a list is not needed.  Please stop reverting and undoing proper changes. David (talk) 20:08, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

I am just not sure why you are hung up on this one particular article being in a certain format.


 * I edit articles when I come across them, this is one of the ones I am working to improve. Why are you so insistent that the information be included, when WP:ANCHORS states it shouldn't be? David (talk) 20:14, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

I am the same. I think you've made some nice improvements to this article. I'm just not sure why it's a big deal if the anchors and square footage are included, when most Wikipedia articles about mall include such information. I understand that WP:ANCHORS states it shouldn't be, but there are people out there that find that information interesting. What is hurting to have it included? If this was the only mall in America who's article was like that, I wouldn't have a problem. But since most are, what's the big deal?


 * Just because you find it interesting, doesn't mean it's encyclopedic. The WikiProject Shopping Centers is "a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of enclosed shopping malls, outdoor shopping centers, and dead malls on Wikipedia"  They have set guidelines, including writing the essay WP:ANCHORS on how the mall pages should be laid out and structured.  It takes editors, like us, to go through the articles and correct them to how the project desires them.  This page is one that needed correcting, and I did so.  There were previous discussions in 2007 [] and [] about the lists of Anchors, and the decision was to not use them. I ask that you please remove the list of anchor stores.
