==Project goals==
This project aims to [[WP:BOLD|improve]] Wikipedia's coverage of [[retail]]-related topics. 

* Improve articles about retailing companies and chains and make them consistent, using existing style guides such as [[Wikipedia:Companies, corporations and economic information]] as guidelines, and devising new ones when needed. For entries on retail companies, this project will create a content structure guide since none exists currently.

* Bring mature articles that are within this project's [[#Scope|scope]] to [[WP:GA|Good article]] and [[WP:FA|featured article]] status. For example, although the entries on [[Target Corporation]] and [[Wal-Mart]] are currently not featured articles, it is indeed this project's goal to improve them with the ultimate intention to bring them there.

* Define store types consistently. By this, readers should be able to discriminate between a [[discount store]] from a [[department store]], since this may be ambiguous in some articles.

===[[Image:Searchtool.svg|26px|Scope]] Project scope===
The scope of this project covers articles of retailing companies (e.g. [[Wal-Mart|Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.]]), chains (existing and defunct), topics (e.g. [[department store]], [[hypermarket]], etc.), and people (e.g. [[John Geisse]]). Please see [[#Articles|the article list below]] for articles that are within our scope.

==Guidelines==
Guidelines on how you may choose to structure an article on a company or retailer.

* [[/Company page structure]] - {{xt|style guide for a company article}}
* [[/How to write about retailers]] - {{xt|advice on arranging a retailer article}}
