Talk:Wegmans

message: I am considering a revision to the egg section.  It is in draft form on my Talk page.  I do think that the egg issue is more relevant to Wegmans because they own the farm but I remain concerned about blaming them specifically for the Animal Care Certified label.  By rewriting the opening paragraph, we get that in as the issue that sparked it all without having to get into a separate discussion of exactly what the label means.  I left in the quote from the newspaper becuase it did come from the newspaper article.  On the defense side, I think it is fair to point out that Wegmans says it believes that not all the footage is from their farm.  I'm a little puzzled by that, although it could be that some close-ups don't provide enough context to show where they were filmed, and Wegmans could be honestly doubtful.  In any case, I say "Wegmans says they believe' which is true from the press release.  I considered also adding Wegman's statement that they will consult with Dr. Joy Mench, who was cited favorably in the Humane Society's letter to Wegmans.  However WP is not a crystal ball and neither am I so in all fairness I have no idea if they followed through on it.
Regarding the UEP I included it as a separate paragraph, noting that the dispute arose separately from Compassionate Consumer's complaint against Wegmans, although they are related.  In examining the source and checking FTC's web site, I find no evidence that the FTC ever issued a ruling; rather, once the case went to the FCC, the UEP changed the logo, and in a letter informing the BBB that the case was being dropped (due to the voluntary change) the Dept director of the FTC expressed support for the BBB's position in the case.  I tend to think I should post the paragraph as it is more in keeping with the previous edits, however if another editor came along and suggested removing it I would not object.

message: On Wikipedia what is the policy on listing employee numbers?  Do we round, or do we give exact figures when companies release exact numbers?  I would look at other companies, but I assume most companies simply give rounded numbers (which would of course result in rounded numbers on Wikipedia).--Anthony 03:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The picture's caption says it's of a "typical" Wegmans.  I'm not sure I would agree with this.  While it is the look of the newer stores there are many many more that are older and look nothing like it.
I just want to make the wording more true.  It's as simple as changing "typical" to "newer" I'm sure.--Anthony 02:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: October 13, I added the Split Section tag for criticism because I do believe that it has grown to be extremely too long.  I suggest that a separate article be created for the group, and that the criticism section be reduced to a paragraph at the most, with a link to a new page.
The egg story is a subject that is NOT even in the news anymore locally, and it is an issue that has been resolved.  It is a subject that does not require that long of an explanation under the criticism category for this article. John in New York 23:54, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I propose that we don't list "1 store" for cities that only have one store, locations that have more than one, we list them as (20 stores) or (2 stores) after the city.

One of the Fortune references used to be #5 until I used that one's format to add the BusinessWeek one.  Seems curious it wouldn't become #15--Anthony 12:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  References 

message: There are a few issues with this aerial image feature, which I breifly mentioned in my edit summary, so allow me to elaborate. First, in order to maintain the integrity of Wikipedia, it is compulsory that links be verified for accuracy and relevance to the material at hand. Unfortunately, Microsoft's live local search feature is not very reliable. Though each link you placed, DJvac, is unique, and I applaud your effort, they do not however maintain their original integrity (i.e. all the links take us directly back to the main search page instead of the original infomation you, DJvac, intended to direct us to). So be it known that linking from Microsoft's live local search feature is ill-advised and inappropriate for Wikipedia.
In addition, I take issue with your intent, DJvac, to link us to an aerial image of ALL 71 Wegmans stores. Some might call this barrage of repetitive information redundant, and the rationale behind this arguement would be incredibly clear. To support this, I would add that Wikipedia is intended as a online encyclopedia, and like any other encyclopedia, conveys a COMPREHENSIVE sum of information on a specified topic in the most SUCCINCT manner possible. As such, it would be in the best interests of this article and Wikipedia to limit your linkage to a single aerial (only if the website ever allows the links to work properly for a Wikipedia article). Its sort of like trying to put an actual image of every single store into the article. I mean, I know Wegmans is one of the best things to ever happen to humanity, but its not the freaking Buddha. Seriously, please be more considerate of the context in which you are trying to convey certain information. Thanks. Sinisterminister 05:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed wholeheartedly. A list of links to aerial images is no different than a list of store locations, the latter of which was removed by consensus in a section above. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 15:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree as well.  While ackowledging the effort to compile that list, I don't see why a reader would find that useful. Anson2995 18:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: DJvac is not going to join this discussion ... he would have already if he were so inclined. I strongly suggest you request the page be protected as I already have for Tops, which he's been doing the same thing to. I am also reporting him at WP:AN/I.If you choose not to seek protection, consider any attempt to restore the material vandalism. Daniel Case 02:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While I'm not trying to argue with you guys on the merits of the links...  The links do go to their intended locations.  I'm not sure if it's a browser issue or what, but whatever it is, it's on your end.  Not Micrsoft's.--Anthony 04:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Section reference tag 

message: I want to get rid of the company facts section that was rightfully tagged, and think it can be relatively easily done. One of the first things I'm going to do is break out the industry awards and recognitions into it's own section, so I would also want to rewrite the intro to prevent redundant information. How does this look for an intro?
"Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. is a privately held supermarket chain founded in 1916 in Rochester, NY. Wegmans has slowly expanded into a regional entity with stores in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and New Jersey, with planned stores to open in the Boston, Massachusetts area. Wegmans has evolved into an industry recognized company for quality of stores, employee satisfaction, and community involvement."
Then, create an "Awards and Recognition section that can contain the top places to work for, foodtv award, Consumer report, and recent Chamber of Commerce award (which I will stick into the company facts section for now). This should make the article flow a little differently, and may be closer to the preferred element of style.
Furthermore, i think it important to balance the article, as Wegmans has not been immune to criticism. A section will need to be created for that that includes the egg labeling thing mentioned earlier in the talk page. Also, Wegmans deliberately defied the individual item pricing law in NYS for a while (though that defiance may have contributed to the repeal), and I think I just heard something about their petitioning for the wine sale change in NYS. Of course, it would be sourced and neutral.....
