F.W. Woolworth
Hi there,

Thank you for your contributions to the F.W. Woolworth article. I'm afraid that I reverted it as I don't believe the inclusion of a (potentially) exhaustive list of former Woolworth store locations is appropriate for the article, however.

The main problem as I see it is that, if the list was to grow to anything like completeness (as I suppose the intention is, unless some arbitrary and contrived limit was slapped on it), it would be extremely long, and make the article itself too long. Although it would be possible to move the information to its own article, I'm still not sure that this would be appropriate, because Wikipedia is not a directory or similar list of information.

If you disagree with this, can you please discuss on the article's talk page first. Thank you. Fourohfour 23:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
