Talk:Dillard's

message: The Northpark store is still considered a flagship for the Dallas area and the chain as a whole. However, it is not heavily advertised as such because the store does not feature a unique selection as many other department store flagships do.  Although the store is VERY upscale, the same merchandise and store experience can be found at other large locations.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.194.69.39 (talk) 03:39, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

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 Wikipedia articles 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 insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Dillards logogif.gif

message: I just undid a recently added paragraph that indicated that Dillards received "worst" ratings in 2006 from Forbes and the NAACP.  This is unreferenced.  I have been unable to find a Forbes reference.  The NAACP reference is here — where it is noted that Dillards received an "F" - for failing to respond to the survey on which the grades of other stores were based.  Therefore the statement about the NAACP rating is misleading.  — ERcheck (talk) 23:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unreferenced criticism  

message: The lede is a summary of the article's text body, I removed the sentence regarding competitors from the lede as this does not appear in the text body.  This seems to be a hot button issue (as to the number of edits in the last 24 hours). IMO, comparing this department store against its competitors seems to be a waste of time, as competition changes and it just depends on what source you look at as to who competes with this chain. Discuss the issue here and maybe a consensus may be made as to whether or not to include competitors in the text body and summarized in the lede.

thread_title:  Competitors 

message: Are there actually any hard reliable sources that can back up whether Dillard's, the run-of-the-mill department store we see in our malls, is "upscale" that are above reproach and not just superficial marketing?  Neither of the cites used so far seem authoritative. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 20:15, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Dillard's is a department store.  Adding the word "upscale" to describe the department store in the lede's first sentence is puffery.  I believe there seems to be a deviation from what the encyclopedia actually is and the desire & mission of one editor to elevate particular department stores to higher or lower status' based on original research with peacock terms and unnecessary one sentence comparisons to other department stores in the lede without any information in the body of the article's text.  Forgotten, to this one editor, is the reader who does not want a specific point of view pushed on them - and the enclopedia's policies & guidelines & manual of style.  Expanding the article with well-written source-based facts to improve the article is much harder than adding one word or a sentence in the lede.
