Disambiguation link notification for January 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014 in British television, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Channel 5 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Can you find room for this somewhere?

File:Jo Stafford Paul Weston in studio 1952.JPG We missed out on a copy of this about a year or so ago because it looked like the photo was taken by Metronome magazine and published in an issue that had its copyright renewed. This was sent to a newspaper and published where they called her "Doris Day". 8-( I went over it all with Crisco1492 before uploading it.

Also have this one File:Metronome January 1946.JPG. While they were both on Chesterfield Supper Club, Jo and Perry Como were named male and female singers of the year by Metronome magazine readers. (And we have this nice cover because Metronome didn't start renewing copyrights on its back issues until 1952 :)) We hope (talk) 17:16, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

I need to get some more links and the like for Paul's article. Right now have a problem with being able to put a lot of time into that--family member will be having surgery soon and I need to get that behind me first. I wouldn't mind seeing the Metronome cover replace the infobox photo on Chesterfield Supper Club; that one was a "hastily arranged" photo when someone decided the plane photo had to go. :-((( We hope (talk) 20:50, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! The Metronome cover does look better at Chesterfield Supper Club. Since Jo went back to California not long after she became a co-host, it's hard to find a good photo of her and Como together. I promise we'll get into Paul Weston's Mountain Boys (stay tuned :)) and Jo's account of how and when he proposed, etc. We hope (talk) 22:47, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Paul. It's looking good and I won't edit just now as you're busy and I might create an edit conflict. Just to remind you not to forget

Dark store

Paul,

You might like to add the term "dotcom centre" to the name as one that Tesco amongst others prefer to use.

Content-wise, I think that the article is certainly an improvement over what was there before, and would pass the DYK criteria as I understand them, so instead of commenting there, I direct this "review" at you here.

If you want to develop the article further, as I very much hope you will, I think it would benefit from some structure. It's clear from the sources available (and the article itself) that online sales are growing at a phenomenal rate. And while there are many guesstimates, it would be interesting to have a few more statistics, and we could add actual figures a few years on to show just how far out these were with hindsight. All these details can be grouped into its own section.

The concept is much more than just the physical store, but a revolutionary business model. The majors are organising themselves around this new channel. The concept itself is constantly evolving as outlets change their organisation and delivery method to meet growth in demand, so this could do with its own section too. It has moved from starting point – "closure due to low order quantity", through the transitional "orders fulfilled from existing stores", to the opening of a new highly automated centre in Erith. Here, it would be interesting to mention the evolution of the picking method and the scale of operation and the online integration that dovetail with the logistical aspects. One day before long, this can be a case study in supply chain management.

The concept will probably have far-reaching implications for monetisation too. What will happen to trade marketing, in-store promotions, etc? It seems to be driving out independent retailers too as the majors move into boutiques like Tesco Metro (or whatever it's called).

As you've picked a highly interesting subject to work on, and has plenty of potential for expansion, I hope that you will keep up your interest in it. Regards, -- Ohc ¡digame! 02:58, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the review and ideas. I definitely want to expand it as much as I can, but may need to find someone with a good working knowledge of business and commerce to do it full justice. Not sure how many of the figures would be available, but I'll take a look and see what I can find. Googling the term "dotcom centre" (which I hadn't done till just now) has generated a few interesting hits, so I'll do some more work on it. Thanks once again.

benefits street

can we please discuss changes on the talk page before any are made. sources are mis-quoted all over the article, why have you reverted them to the incorrect quote?Honest-john (talk) 21:10, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Come on mate, discuss it FIRST please. You are changing quotes back to incorrect quotes is just one example.Honest-john (talk) 21:15, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your edits, discuss it re the talk page as wiki is supposed to. You are just trying to push your edits, please discuss? Honest-john (talk) 21:20, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

I have asked a more senior editor to look at the edits before an edit war begins. He is much more sensible than me!Honest-john (talk) 21:24, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Paul, no offence was meant at all mate, sorry if it came across that way. I just hate articles with mistakes in! I will leave it till you are finished and then have a look. I will then put on the talk pages any changes that I think may be needed and we can discuss them, is that a plan?Honest-john (talk) 10:08, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Please see my last message Paul, will leav alone until you have finished and then discuss. Is that OK? CheersHonest-john (talk) 13:15, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Paul, sorry had a quick look, and I have to say its very much written with a left wing slant, with only quotes from those sources etc. Understand that may be your opinion, and that mine may be more centre-right(ish) But we need both sides represented? Wont do anything as you haven't finished, and no offence meant at all mate, and I mean that. Honest-john (talk) 18:39, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
