Recent edits to store count and list of stores

@Tree11667: Please do not continue to change the number of stores at the Mall to 248 without providing an updated citation that supports this number. Currently the realty page states that there are 137 retail stores and the store directory lists 150. Neither number approaches 248. We cannot include uncited information in the encyclopedia, much less information that disagrees with cited sources.

Also, it is not appropriate to try to list every store at the Mall, or even most stores (e.g., Starbucks), especially since stores typically change over time. The anchor stores are already listed. There is a link to the Mall Web site in the article, which presumably should contain an up-to-date list of stores.

If you have questions, please post them here. But do not continue to make the same edits over and over again, as they will be reverted unless we (you and other editors contributing to this article) can reach some understanding as to whether they are appropriate and why.

Hi there. The information i have inserted is absolutly correct. The mall has underaged a major renovation adding more shops. if you would please visit the malls website directly instead of third party website citing that would be a better source thank you if your page which attracts hundreds of people has misleading information, the chances of potential customers for the mall decreases. This is why it's very cruel that you please avoid undoing the proper information as you have done sevaral times. if it is possible, Please undo the page to the last available revision,. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zack1189 (talk • contribs) 01:45, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

• @Zack1189: Information here needs to be verifiable and supported by one or more reliable sources. Thus far, the only sources for the article, including the Mall's official Web site[1] and the site of its leasing firm,[2] report different information than the information you and others (who I suspect may be you or someone connected with you) have been continually trying to add without citation. You need to see that the sources are updated first, or provide other sources that support the change (such as newspaper articles about the renovation) before you attempt to introduce the information here on Wikipedia. If you have other comments, please make them on the Talk page for the article (to which I will copy both your and my comments), as that is where this discussion belongs.

• Also, we seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding here. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not advertising. If you are relying on Wikipedia to attract customers to the Mall, you are misusing it. The encyclopedia should only reflect facts, supported by reliable sources; it should not be used as a marketing tool. Dwpaul ^Talk 02:02, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

• @Zack1189: We do not seem to have been able to resolve this through discussion here. Since you have now been reported for edit warring, any further discussion should take place at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Zack1189 reported by User:Dwpaul (Result: Blocked). I strongly advise you refrain from any further edits until that case is resolved. Dwpaul ^Talk 02:41, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Ok so if there are 175 stores, where do you continue to write 150 there are no references for that number
