Big W
Hi, I'm fairly indifferent to whether 'Big W' refers to the disambig page or not (UK one is defunct and didn't warrant its own article anyway). If you're moving stuff around though, can you check the links (via "What links here" in the toolbox on the left hand side); there was one in the UK Woolie's article that (now) went to the Aussie page (it's been fixed, though). Thanks.

BTW, the normal situation is that (if "Foo" is the subject), either
 * "Foo" is the disambig page, and all other pages have names like "Foo (person)", "Foo (tobacconist)", "Foo (currency)"; or
 * "Foo" is the name of the article for the (clearly) most common use, "Foo (disambiguation)" is the disambig page, and all others have names like "Foo (person)" or "Foo (currency)"

So it's probably best to just make 'Big W' the Australian retailer's page; no point in having it a redirect really, though I'll leave that to you :)

You still seem to have a decent idea of how Wikipedia works. Are you a genuine newbie, or have you been doing anonymous contributions for a while now?
