Name of buildings or companies
[edit]The current wording is:
Fremantle Woolstores were at least four large buildings ...
- Westralian Farmers
- Elder Smith and Co
- Goldsborough Mort
- Dalgety and Co
The larger two operations were Elders Woolstore and Dalgety Woolstore.
It's not clear whether those 4 bullet point names and/or the two named "operations" are the names of the buildings or the companies. (Note that my edit replaces "there were at least four" with "they include" without changing what the names refer to.) The literal meaning of the wording indicates that the bullet points are building names, but at least two look like company names. The buildings could have the same name as the company, but the the "larger operations" have slightly different names - are the "operations" different to the building names and the company names? Then in the next paragraph we have "Edler Smith Goldsborough Mort" Some clarifications and more attention to precise names might help the reader understand what's going on. (I'd fix it myself of course, but there is a large amount of things I do not know.) Mitch Ames (talk) 13:51, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
unresolved space
[edit]What is "an unresolved space", in the context of "Dalgety woolstore ... remains an unresolved space". How does one resolve a space? Mitch Ames (talk) 13:53, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
Once that question is answered, it might be possible to reword the sentence so that the use of the word frontage makes sense - a frontage is nominally a one-dimensional (excluding height) boundary, so one would not typically have a two-dimensional (excluding height) woolstore on it.
