Kinko's / Zudo's
editSomeone once told me that an early cofounder of Kinko's started the "other" Kinko's in Tucson, but I can't back that up -- Richfife 16:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- The only place I can find anything about Zudo's is there on the wiki article. I've asked for verification of the source. My hunch is that this is not true, but can anyone find a source? Porlob 14:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's true all right (I grew up in Tucson and went to the "other" Kinko's all the time). However, the best I can come up with online is this resume link from 1994 that mentions Zudos: [1]. I will attempt to locate a printed source. - Richfife 23:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
When I was an undergrad, beginning in 1970, at Ohio State, there was a guy in one of my classes that was doing the Kinko thing there too. For the longest time, I thought he was the founder.Godofredo29 (talk) 23:23, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
NYT Magazine
editThis article was mentioned in the Sept 3 issue of the New York Times magazine. It just mentioned the fact that we link to the anti-Kinkos game. BrokenSegue 22:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Publicity kinkos storefront.JPG
editImage:Publicity kinkos storefront.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Kinkos in the Courthouse
editKinkos has now gotten so bold it's opened up in the San Diego, California court. That's right! No longer can you just make simple copies while you are going to court, now you must use Kinkos right next to the marshall's office! When you drive down the street in front of the courthouse and look in the open doors, do you see a statue of Justice? No! Now you see a large Kinkos banner at the back wall!
Really true in San Diego. That's a bit far. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.146.175 (talk) 16:06, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
That sounds like a unique store. Do you have any local news media articles that you can cite and add a sentence to the article? Can you take a picture and add it the article?JeremiahJohnson (talk) 06:26, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Semi-protection needed NOW
editNoticed huge mess created by series of bad anon IP edits from 24 July 2008 onward which totally mangled explanation of FedEx Kinko's to FedEx Office rebranding. This article needs to be semi-protected ASAP for a month or so until someone can copyedit it. --Coolcaesar (talk) 03:19, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Could they be bothered with Australia?
editThe mention in the article that Fedex Kinkos exited Australia due to low demand is crap. The problem is, I don't have any data to support that.
The Fedex Kinko's Melbourne office was in a prime location in Exhibition Street and one I used often. There was nothing similar anywhere in Melbourne and can only be described as always "abuzz".
Then one day it closed...... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.214.148.52 (talk) 11:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
would there be any point in mentioning http://hackaday.com/2006/03/02/fedex-kinkos-smart-cards-hacked/ Gregory1132 (talk) 07:54, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
heck, they don't even have a 24 hour location in dallas! talk about taking a great company (Kinko's) and destroying it. What's a poor college student to do nowadays? 68.71.70.33 (talk) 08:44, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
Kinkos in Korea and Japan
editThe link to fedexkinkos.co.kr is broken. This is because in 2013 Kinkos in Korea was sold to Konika Minolta, on the heals of a sale in 2012 of the Japanese branches. They now say only Kinkos, and their shipping services tend to be DHL related. Could someone figure out a way to update the article? This makes the automatic redirect of [english] wikipedia's kinkos article to FedEx Office potentially inappropriate.
A disambiguation page seems in order.
