Talk:The Warehouse Group

message: Someone who has never been to New Zealand keeps removing factual stuff about The Warehouse that any New Zealander would know. He removed (and I put back) the bit about long lines at the returns counter on Boxing Day because it is true, does he want me to take a photo next Boxing Day to prove it. Also The Warehouse is called Whuddy Fuddy by many New Zealanders I believe this is the Maori name for Ware and House, but the American wouldn't know because he has never been to New Zealand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.169.220.108 (talk • contribs) 
Every store in New Zealand has a lot of faulty product returns on boxing day. It's not really worth mentioning  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.109.240.19 (talk) 07:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I notice that warehouse.co.nz leads to underwear.co.nz, and online store for lingerie. Additionally, the site is hosted by cybersex.co.nz, and all links feature that in the address. Is this worthy of mention ?Willuknight 02:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Domain Squatting 

message: These are the slang names people call The Warehouse here in NZ there was no need to remove this line as heaps of New Zealanders call it that and has even been called that in some publications and news stories. Whuddy Fuddy is the Maori name for Warehouse, another name I have heard is "Fuddy House" but thats another way of saying Whuddy Fuddy. 202.169.220.196 03:50, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Slight correction: it is a phonetic translation of the Maori name. Although this is the accepted spelling, the correct is "Ware Whare", I think. (The Wh sounds like F and the r sounds like a d.) But I cannot be certain, all I can accurately say is tena kotou and kiaora. :D THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 10:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I note that some of this article appears to have a bias and/or lack of sources. Examples: most of the Criticisms section does not have any sources, and the last paragraph of the Australian operations section is opinionated. If there are neutral observer backups for these, then it would be good to see them. Stifle 18:50, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bias

message: The average sizes for Warehouse and Warehouse Stationery stores are far too high.  Red sheds average closer to 50,000 square feet, and the blue sheds are usually smaller.  The second Warehouse Extra is in Whangarei, and was a conversion of the existing store.203.109.174.4 23:36, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
