Hello, I'm Hammersoft. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Grocery store, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:33, 26 November 2023 (UTC) (moving discussion here to keep it together --Hammersoft (talk) 19:00, 26 November 2023 (UTC))[reply]

Alex64002 Here. Not sure why you removed the content on Grocery store. While sources are indeed valuable, the inclusion of the word likely should suffice. The trends mentioned in the paragraph, such as automated checkouts, AI-driven inventory management, drone deliveries, and a focus on sustainability, are widely discussed in contemporary business and technology literature. They represent informed projections based on the current trajectory of technology and environmental concerns in the retail sector. You would be hard pressed to be able to point to a meaningful source that would disagree with the likelihood of what is stated. Please restore Alex64022 (talk) 17:18, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because as the warning notes above, it wasn't sourced. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. We don't speculate about the future. If, as you note, there is literature to support the conclusions you drew in this edit, then by all means reinclude the information. But, please provide reliable, secondary sources to support it. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 19:00, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This has been updated to include the source see: Grocery store Alex64022 (talk) 20:44, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
