I added a full length history, images, more links, and the logo before the Macy's merge. As for the locations, they were basically located in most Florida malls.

While it's encouraging to see considerable development of the article on Burdines, I'm inclined to say that this or any article in Wikipedia is never immune to continuing improvement. The constantly evolving exchange of ideas and information is what makes Wikipedia so valuable. Hopefully, this is only the first of several major upgrades to this article. It keeps getting better and better! — ArkansasTraveler 14:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-Up Tag

Added tag. Numerous grammatical mistakes and stylistic problems. Factual issues. I will try to get some of these when I get a chance, but let's collaborate on this important page. Captaintruth 00:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems most mistakes have now been corrected. Is the page fine now? Alexzero77 02:09, 10 March 2006 (UTC)Alexzero77[reply]

Macy's stores WERE lacking in Florida

There were less than ten I believe. Alexzero77 02:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Lacking" implies there were none. If you want to say how many there were and provide a reference that what you says is true, that would probably be OK. If you are from Boca, you should remember that Macys have been pretty widespread across south florida for 10-15 years. Captaintruth 19:35, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but there were not as many as other department stores had. Keep in mind, Macy's isn't like Saks of Neiman Marcus. They're everywhere in other states. Alexzero77 02:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. So explain that in the article(hopefully more elegantly). Don't use the ambiguous "lacking". Captaintruth 13:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you? You do a WAY better job at writing than me. :D Alexzero77 10:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't appreciate your tone. Please see the numerous original articles I have contributed regarding south florida (mainly political figures) and my numerous quality edits. Frankly, I don't see the need for any mention of the lack of macy's stores in Florida before the merger, and that is why I have not added this language. I do recognize, however, that this is a collaborative process and am willing to compromise by not reverting some less ambiguous reference to this supposed dearth of pre-merger macy's stores.
