message: :Image:Copy of frederick.jpg 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 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:39, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now.

message: I had a feeling that the 1890s chronology here was wrong, and now believe I've confirmed that. Ron Edge found and posted to Facebook a clipping from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, September 10, 1893 showing that Frederick, Nelson & Munro combining the pre-existing Frederick & Nelson with (Munro's) New England Furniture Company and "occupying the entire Citizens' Market Building as the corner of Second and University Streets" at that time. That would see pretty definitive to me. Given that ad, I don't see any room for doubt. The current claim of a later date was anonymously inserted and has never had a citation. I couldn't say anything either way about the "Pacific Carpet Company" part of that existing statement. - Jmabel | Talk 16:52, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
