Infobox

There is an infobox that might work well here: Template:Infobox_shopping_mall. Any thoughts? Justen 10:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a mall with an anchor or many stores. It is considered more of a district than anything. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 13:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review comments

Per comment left at the peer view: General editing help would be appreciated, especially in the Construction and opening sub, where it was recently converted from bullet to paragraph format. I will be doing minor edits to see if it can be managed easier, but sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can be better. I believe I have covered the history of the project extensively, and cannot see it being expanded further unless there are new articles (which appear almost weekly it seems).

GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Pullman Square/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article is being reviewed as part of the WikiProject Good Articles. We're doing Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. This article was awarded GA-status back in 2007, so I will be assessing the article to ensure that it is still compliant.Pyrotec (talk) 19:49, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
