"Connecticut State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal orders investigation into Best Buy's alleged use of an in-store website to mislead customers on item sales prices. Following a months-long denial, Best Buy admits that an internal site exists that may or may not have been used by salespeople."
The last sentence is a biased opinion made by Memejojo:
"Following a months-long denial, Best Buy admits that an internal site exists that may or may not have been used by salespeople."
I request that this paragraph not be re-introduced to the Best Buy article until Memejojo can agree not to include biased opinion and only state the facts included in the article.

replies: text: Tuxide, I think it's okay in this case because the section that it is in (Demographics) explains how Best Buy tailors it's stores for certain demographics in the store's area - and it has sources included that verify that.  This photo could be considered an example of one of the ways Best Buy does this.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I think if we change the caption to something simple like "An example of bilingual signs that are used in some Best Buy stores", that eliminates the weasel words in question.  What do you think?  B2bomber81 14:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I think WP:WEASEL is directed at presenting POVs that may not be credible enough. "Some people feel..." in this case it is being used for the "number of x with y" or "some stores with bilingual signs".  It is not attempting to present a POV which WP:WEASEL prohibits.

replies: text: When you claim that most people know it to be true, when a lot of employees don't even know, it is most certainly relevent (since they of all people should know).  My point about god was to show that your claim about "a rule that says if most people generally know it to be true thats enough verifiability" is a rediculous notion.  And it is in the five pillars... the one that says, "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia... All articles must follow our no original research policy and strive for accuracy." Paul Cyr 05:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur with Paul Cyr.  Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of random information.  See the official policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Furthermore, Best Buy's policy is non-notable as hundreds of other retailers in Western states have a similar bilingual signage policy (e.g., Wal-Mart).  If we allow this photo, then we will end up with similar photos in the corresponding article for every single such retailer, which makes no sense.  The photo is more appropriate for Spanish in the United States. --Coolcaesar 18:01, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

text: First off, I was not aware that Best Buy Co. owned Future Shop.  Second, I think what needs to be clarified is if Best Buy is an article about the chain or about the parent company.  For example, Target Corporation and Wal-Mart are articles about the parent companies and not necessarily their main retail chains (although they serve as the articles for the chains).  As of now, it looks like an article about the parent company to me, and Future Shop looks like an article mainly about the subsidiary instead of the chain.  Thus, I believe they should be left separate unless there really is a good reason to merge them.  Tuxide (talk) 20:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: As a current employee of Best Buy, I would like to add that the folowing is not completely true.
Best Buy has removed a loophole in their "Employee Toolkit" internal login system that allowed employees to use Internet Explorer without major restriction. This action prevents customers and employees from surfing the Internet, but also prevents customers from doing Internet price comparisons and checks on product reviews.[18]
Technically they never removed the way that employees accessed the internet.  Employees had to go through a link that took them to yahoo finance regarding our current stock price where they could find an internet search bar.  The link has been broken for a while and now we have our own internal page regarding the current selling price of our stock.
There is a new link on the homepage of the "Employee Toolkit" called "Favorites" where employees can type in any URL including Google or Yahoo. URLs are saved for future use. This has actually made it much easier for employees to access the internet from our intranet.  The customer cannot access this without the help from an employee since a login and password are required to access the "Employee Toolkit".  
The majority of our stores have wireless networks available with proper proxy numbers.  Most now have Apple stores inside them which have open access to the internet for customers, also.  I have no interest in editing the actual page, if someone would like to fix this, please do.
I feel that the quoted text above misrepresents Best Buy and portrays the employees in a negative manner.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.196.14.185 (talk) 19:20, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, you're both right and wrong on that. Customers still can't see the price on the national BBY.com without the help of an employee, unless they have a phone with a mobile web browsing service. But I agree that it needs to be rewritten for clarity and truthiness. Frankly, what Best Buy needs to do is have one website, with both the "local" and "national" price listed on the same page. Which is far easier than maintaining two separate, equal looking websites. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 04:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
