. Hook is not cited and cannot be verified yet. Numerous grammatical errors are also present and have to be rectified before this article gets approved even if the hook gets a proper reference and is verified. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 00:20, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

I've done some copyediting on the article. --Canley (talk) 06:05, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you.The problem still is that the hook is uncited and the establishment year of the store is not clear if it is 1992 or 1997. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 18:56, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
Would you let me know for the errors so that I can review in the article. Thank you.--TINHO (talk) 06:23, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

@Sdee: Yes, for starters can you supply a reference to verify the hook fact that: that New Yaohan is the first department store in Macau? Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 18:56, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

@Dr.K.:, I added back the reference. For the year with 1992 or 1997, I do not know how to handle since Yaohan is established in 1992 but the New Yaohan takeover in 1997. Hope you can give me some suggestion to solve that.--TINHO (talk) 01:13, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

I had a look for some references: Frommer's Hong Kong travel guide says "...the 1993 opening of Macau's first full-fledged department store, New Yaohan.". The Macau Daily Times says that New Yaohan is the "the sole department store in the region", but that does not necessarily mean it was the first. --Canley (talk) 00:51, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
@Canley:, do you mind to point out the question that you do not understand?--TINHO (talk) 15:02, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I understand it all, I was just including some other references I'd found for the hook item. --Canley (talk) 03:00, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Needs a new review, which should also make sure previously raised issues have been addressed. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:41, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

The hook is based on this reference which appears to be a forum. I don't think this is a reliable source. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 18:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Sdee's talk page was pinged with the information that this nomination needed action or it would be closed; although Sdee has done one edit this year, and would have seen the ping, nothing has been done. Regretfully closing this nomination and the other one still outstanding, which have clearly been abandoned. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:39, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
