Talk:Ridgmar Mall

Start

This is a good start, but more information is needed. Ridgmar was indeed an important regional mall when it opened. A little mollusk (talk) 03:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I had started a list of other tenants with attribution, but it was deleted. Anyone see something wrong with that? A little mollusk (talk) 19:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Per the mall MOS and Wikipedia guidelines, a full listing of stores/tenants is not appropriate as we are not a directory. In general, in the mall's historical prose, you can mention some of the first stores if they were noteworthy and sourceable. Also any major/important stores that leave or join the mall (generally demonstrable by news articles covering the closing/opening). Other than that, a list of current anchors should be the only store list in the article, though you can also include a basic summary of the mall stores. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Shopping Centers#Structure and Wikipedia:WikiProject Shopping Centers/Anchors and tenants for further guideance on what kind of content would be good for the article. Also feel free to take a look at Post Oak Mall, which is one I did. Its not ready for GA yet, but otherwise a decent article for a mall that is of a similar size to this one. Hope that helps some.

Thanks for the information. I'd been having issues with finding any significant information about the mall and thought that might be appropriate, so I appreciate the links provided. Wiki'mation is a bit of a jungle. I plan to eventually scour a couple of databases to see if there's anything useful to be gleaned. Best ... A little mollusk (talk) 20:35, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Trust me, I know the feeling! With its age, maybe check some historical books for the county or Fort Worth. That's where I found some for Post Oak, since it was the first mall here. Might help some. Good luck! AnmaFinotera (talk) 20:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

One of the perks at work is access to a database with newspapers online back to '85. The trick is getting the right search terms. Just tried it and got some hits. Finding the time to incorporate the info is the beeeeyouknowhat. And, ahem, but age is relative, my friend. :D A little mollusk (talk) 21:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Anchors

This is an issue first raised back in March 2008 (see above), yet does not appear to have been addressed. Wikipedia is not a directory, and it should not include listings of individual stores. The one exception is anchor stores. However, WP:V and WP:OR are quite clear -- the article requires reliable sources, and editors cannot use their own knowledge or assessment of the facts in an article. To list the anchors, we need a source that identifies them as such. The source that was provided for the anchor list (the mall website) did indicate that the listed tenants are present in the mall, but as far as I can tell it does not identify them as anchors. It is inappropriate for Wikipedia editors to make judgment calls as to what constitutes an anchor in this mall and what does not. I have removed the section, without prejudice to anyone who can locate a source that actually identifies these tenants as anchors. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:26, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Please forgive my intrusion, but I don't know where to post this. Did you know that Ridgmar Mall was used for many of the interior shots for the movie Logan's Run? This occurred before it opened -- you should be able to verify this story through Fort Worth's channel 5, KXAS (then WBAP, I believe). They ran several stories on it back then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.213.77.216 (talk) 06:10, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

I added J. C. Penney to the Anchor list because it's one of our anchors as well — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.180.155.12 (talk) 20:57, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Objectivity

Rigmar Mall’s history has been shaky at best. It has had periods of high vacancy, poor maintenance, crime and even gang activity. In fact, it is currently experiencing one of its down cycles. The PR language of the current article (May 31, 2009) violates Wikipedia standards for objectivity. An impartial viewpoint is required. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ShelbyBell (talk • contribs) 03:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
