Talk:Lane Bryant

Rewrite

This article was previously copyvio'd and then some pretty similar text was pasted in. I couldn't find an online source for it, so I went ahead and rewrote a good portion of it, trimming out unnecessary details and outdated language. The article has a big blank spot between the success in the 1910s and the modern store, with nothing about her later life and death. Anyway, it looks a little more like a regular article now. --Dhartung | Talk 08:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Some dates on this page have been changed to obviously incorrect values. I don't know the correct dates, however (and who knows if the prior values were correct?), so I'm hesitant to revert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.216.140.209 (talk) 22:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Split

The last half of the article is about the company rather than the designer - a split would be useful. Jackollie (talk) 00:23, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lanebryanantlgoog.gif

Image:Lanebryanantlgoog.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Shooting?

I was just curious if the shooting topic at the end of the article is AT ALL relevant to the topic, either to the topic of the company OR the founder. It doesn't seem to me to have anything to do with either one. If anything, this belongs in WikiNews, or something like that....maybe it's just me. If not, say something, and we'll delete the thing. 75.65.0.31 (talk) 05:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Response to third opinion request:

I haven't edited this article, nor am I an expert. I'm just here to provide a third opinion. A robbery that leads to a shooting at one of Lane Bryant's stores does not seem, at least to me, to be an event that is notably tied to the department store chain. It would be helpful if any editors who feel it does would articulate their reasons for including it.—Work permit (talk) 23:22, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

.

The page for Appalachian School of Law mentions the massacre that took place there in the first paragraph, with a link to a separate article. The page for Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) mentions the massacre that took place there, with a link to a separate article. The page for Tacoma Mall includes a link to the shooting there, with a link to a separate article. The page for Westroads Mall includes a section on the shooting that took place there, with a link to a separate article. The page History of McDonald's includes the massacre at the San Ysidro, Calif. restaurant, with a link to a separate article. The page for Standard Gravure includes the massacre there, with a link to a separate article. The page for Northern Illinois University has a section on the shooting with a link to a separate article. All of these examples suggest that routine procedure on Wikipedia is for articles about these shootings to be linked from the main page for the company or institution at which they happened.18.111.39.162 (talk) 00:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Most of those shootings are a bit more well-known than the one being included here. This shooting has nothing to do with Lane Bryant, the company - at best it is related to the mall where it took place (probably not even that, though). In any case, the APB-style description of a possible suspect from two years ago has no business whatsoever being here. — Gavia immer (talk) 00:29, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I would agree that the shooting should be included in an article on Lane Bryant at Tinley Park, if such an article existed. For example, the Northern Illinois University shooting is notable for Northern Illinois University but not Illinois State University. The Tacoma Mall shooting is notable for the Tacoma Mall but not Simon Property Group. The San Ysidro McDonald's massacre does probably warrant a mention in the History of McDonald's article, since it was the "the worst mass murder (at the time) in the US" and garnered significant national coverage. While the Sydney River McDonald's murders are included in the article as well, I'd argue it doesn't belong. --Work permit (talk) 01:06, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
