Cleanup

This article is absolutely horrible to read with all the blue links. It would be easier to read if the blue links were cleaned up (a lot of them are duplicates). I also think the store bands/states would be easier to read in a table format. This page also needs a company infobox. Wikipedianinthehouse

Ok, I cleaned up a bit. Added infobox. Blue links still need to be cleaned up, and possibly a table created for the current store locations.

Fall 2012 Tried to clean it all up, table all the blue links and their various locations, somebody reverted it the next day, I reverted their reversions as soon as I saw them a few days later, somebody else reverted the PREVIOUS reversions and then somebody ELSE reverted the reversions before THAT.

So I give up. You guys can squabble amongst yourselves or petition an admin to protect the page otherwise likr most of the rest of Wikipedia - this page will just fall over eventually from all the vandalization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.189.197 (talk) 18:29, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Headquarters

The New York Stock Exchange and Macy's Inc. list different locations for headquarters. Which is correct? --AEMoreira042281 04:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Macy's, Inc. has corporate offices (or headquarters) in both Cincinnati, OH and in New York City, NY. Their coprporate offices are slit with corporate marketing headquarters in NY and corporate services in OH.IceBRG (talk) 05:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Image:Federatedlogo.gif 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 Wikipedia articles 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.

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Someone has been moving this page to Macy's Inc. without the comma. The official name of the corporation includes the comma, as shown on the website; however, due to multiple moves, it now is impossible for anyone but an admin to move this page back to Macy's, Inc.. I suggest that once this is done, the page be protected against moving for a little while. --Russ (talk) 10:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I was not the one who made the move, but according to the New York Stock Exchange, the correct name is without the comma (and as such, the correct move to the current name was already made). See here. It also lists the headquarters as being at the historic Herald Square store. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 13:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

First, I think the company's own website is a more reliable source for its name than the NYSE. Second, the very page you cited refers to the company as "Macy's, Inc." in the Company Description! Third, if you want an official source, go to the Delaware Secretary of State website and search for file number 2078197. The name has a comma. --Russ (talk) 13:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

http://www.fds.com/ shows a BIG example without the comma. Anthony Appleyard 05:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

That's a logo, not an official name. Again, the very same page contains multiple textual references with the comma. --Russ (talk) 13:37, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

It seems to me that the only truly official source would be the legal document containing the articles of incorporation. But the Macy's web site - which does indeed use the comma - is certainly more on point than the NYSE. So I say add the comma. Ribonucleic 20:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

This article has been renamed from Macy's Inc. to Macy's, Inc. as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 12:19, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

May Property conversion to Bloomingdales

The article stated that no May properties were converted to Bloomingdales. This is not true as the former Robinsons-May location at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA was converted to the Bloomingdales name. I have corrected the article to reflect this. (75.50.103.15 04:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC))

Request for article

• Could someone create an article for Carol Sanger, current Vice President? Thanks! Jccort (talk) 17:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

NO!!!!, Macy's, Inc. is a very large Corporation thats has different levels of a Vice President, Operational Vice President (OVP), Vice President (VP), Group Vice President (GVP), Junior Vice President (JVP), Senior Vice President (SVP) and Executive Vice President (EVP)/Senior-Exeuctive Vice President (S-EVP, a Senior-Executive Vice President has a job that more relates to a Senior Vice President but a role of an Executive Vice President, they are nether they are tied with Executive Vice President as the top level of a Vice President before becoming President) , Seeing these levels of Vice President a regular Vice President is of little importance to the company if we where to create separate articles we should create them only for the more important ones such as a SVP or an EVP (Such as Martine Reardon, Executive Vice President of Marketing who plays a very large role in the companies marketing division who reports directly to the Chief Marketing Officer and the Chief Executive Officer or Robin Hall, Senior Vice President of The Macy's Parade and Entreatment Group- He plays a HUGE! role in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and The Fourth of July Fireworks who reports directly to Martine, the Chief Marketing Officer as well as Secondary Reporting to the Senior-Executive Vice President of Marketing's Finance)

Article needs indefinite semi-protection

This article is getting hit up by vandals pretty bad. Just caught vandalism that occurred on 21 September 2007 (yes, over a year and a half ago) but I don't have the time to fix it all. Any admin seeing this, please impose indefinite semi-protection immediately. Thanks. --Coolcaesar (talk) 15:36, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
