Wikipedia:WikiProject Retailing

Welcome to WikiProject Retailing and please feel free to join this WikiProject!

Project goals
This project aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of retail-related topics.


 * Improve articles about retailing companies and chains and make them consistent, using existing style guides such as Companies, corporations and economic information as guidelines, and devising new ones when needed. For entries on retail companies, this project will create a content structure guide since none exists currently.


 * Bring mature articles that are within this project's scope to Good article and featured article status. For example, although the entries on Target Corporation and Wal-Mart are currently not featured articles, it is indeed this project's goal to improve them with the ultimate intention to bring them there.


 * Define store types consistently. By this, readers should be able to discriminate between a discount store from a department store, since this may be ambiguous in some articles.

The scope of this project covers articles of retailing companies (e.g. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.), chains (existing and defunct), topics (e.g. department store, hypermarket, etc.), and people (e.g. John Geisse). Please see the article list below for articles that are within our scope.
