Talk:RS McColl

message: The first paragraph, which uses the word "we," appears to have been written by somebody employed by the company. Surely that breaks the rules of Wikipedia? 188.30.186.156 (talk) 18:53, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Violation?

message: EPOS, POS, SEL - It reads like it was written by someone in the trade but it's completely meaningless to an outsider. "a mixture of block coloured red and white POS material"? Google saves the day, but is such detail really what makes for a good wikipedia article, this isn't Grocer magazine or another trade publication. Knowing the colour and type of their tills is absurdly pointless trivia.82.17.93.186 (talk) 09:07, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Technical Acronyms and insider jargon

message: Hi,
Upfront I would like to mention that I have a potential conflict of interest with RS McColl or as they are more commonly known McColl’s, as I am an employee at the Company. 
However, I am conscious that some of the information on the page is factually incorrect and would therefore like to propose a few amendments to the editors of this page? We absolutely support the concept of Wikipedia and would just like to enhance the page’s accuracy to give users a holistic view of the company. 
I’m aware of the Wikipedia rules and therefore have approached you in this way instead of directly editing the page. I hope these suggestions are helpful and do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
Suggested thoughts:
Could the article name be changed to McColl’s because RS McColl is part of McColl’s Retail Group. McColl’s Retail Group operates McColl’s branded convenience stores as well as newsagents branded Martin’s, or in Scotland, under the heritage brand RS McColl.
There is also a McColl’s page with limited information on it which I believe should be merged into this renamed page.
The trading names Forbuoys and Dillons are no longer in use ie all stores are now named as above.
RS McColl, the footballer, has his own Wikipedia page and RS McColl newsagents as explained above are part of a wider Group.
The new website address is www.mccolls.co.uk and the above facts are contained within this website. The link below will take you to the page on the website where you can obtain the new Group logo.
