[[:Pall mall (game)]] → [[Paille-maille]] — "Pall mall" is a corruption of the earlier spelling, and this move will also obviate the need for parenthetical disambiguation. The [[Pall mall]] DAB page will need an update after the move. Move blocked by edited redirect. — [[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]] 20:01, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Shopping malls

"When the game fell out of fashion, some of these pall malls evolved into shopping precincts, hence the modern name of shopping centres in the USA: shopping malls[citation needed]; others evolved into grassed shady promenades, still called malls today."

USA Shopping malls are definitely not evolved spaces formerly used for pall mall. The United States didn't even exist until the late 18th century, when the game had already gone out of fashion. I don't think a citation is needed, I think an omission is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.251.26.211 (talk) 17:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

of course the shopping mall wasn't around during the origins of pall mall, but that doesn't mean that isn't where the word is derived from. how silly.

Correct, but the text could probably use some clarification. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 20:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
