[edit] Rewrite to avoid a promotional flavour
I tagged it because of its "promotional" flavour—at the moment it sounds like a prospectus prepared by the real estate developer. It needs to be rewritten so that it is NPOV, all statements are sourced, and the tone is encyclopedic—then of course it can stay. Hurdle to be mastered: finding verifiable sources for any assertions made that do not simply amount to taking the word of the backers of the project on faith.
At present it sounds like advertising because the statements about what features it "will" have are not (yet) verifiable facts, but simply someone's promises. These "not yet facts" need to be rephrased along the lines of: "According to statements by XYZ Corp. and ABC Regional Economic Development Commission, the backers of the project, the mall will have …" Statements like this are verifiable; one just needs to cite mainstream media (typically a reputable newspaper—promotional materials or company websites are not enough) showing that spokespersons for XYZ and ABC did in fact make such public statements.
Since you say you'll fix it, I'll remove the speedy-delete tag and replacing it with "sounds like advertising" tag pending rework. --IslandGyrl 19:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Added New Sections
I have added a Controversy section (not really promotional) as well external links to an article on Canada.com (which i hope would be a reliable resource).--Gaeriel 20:30, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Question
This is my first article so i better ask this before i get in trouble. I found an artists rendering on what this mall might look like on their main website, however, there is no licence or copyright on this image that i could find in the terms & conditions or their privacy policy. I sent them an e-mail, but other than that, what else should i do?
[edit] Removal
I am going to remove the {Advertising} tag on this page. I re-worked it as to not sound like a rep is advertising this project. More information has been added for neutrality.--Gaeriel 17:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CrossIron Mills
It appears that the official name of the mall will be "CrossIron Mills" according to Ivanhoe Cambridge. I am not very familiar with Wikipedia editing so I think I will leave it to someone else to perform such a large edit.
[edit] Screwed up Royally, sorry
I created an article titled 'Crossiron mills' without seeing this article, otherwise I would have just 'moved' it. But I'm not that great with WIKI so I screwed it up. Noticing the lack of capitalization I moved that article to 'CrossIron Mills'. Fine. then I found this article. So now this article redirects to Crossiron Mills. But CrossIron Mills brings you to my new article. Can someone much much smarter than me fix this? Last time I try to create and redirect articles. Damn.
[edit] Trying to Fix
Wow, this is a dittly of a pickel. What i have done is add all the new information from your article and put it into this one. We will keep one of the articles and then redirect yours the the new revampt one. I will leave it to you to change the article that you have started. Sound good? P.S. Make sure to leave your signature in the discussion so we know who said what :) --Gaeriel 15:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
