Fremantle_Woolstores is meant to be an overview article only - and there is hopefully opportunity to create sub articles of each structure of the structure, when and how is up to the enthusiasm - thanks JarrahTree 13:11, 18 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Name of buildings or companies

edit

The current wording is:

Fremantle Woolstores were at least four large buildings ...

  • Westralian Farmers
  • Elder Smith and Co
  • Goldsborough Mort
  • Dalgety and Co

The larger two operations were Elders Woolstore and Dalgety Woolstore.

It's not clear whether those 4 bullet point names and/or the two named "operations" are the names of the buildings or the companies. (Note that my edit replaces "there were at least four" with "they include" without changing what the names refer to.) The literal meaning of the wording indicates that the bullet points are building names, but at least two look like company names. The buildings could have the same name as the company, but the the "larger operations" have slightly different names - are the "operations" different to the building names and the company names? Then in the next paragraph we have "Edler Smith Goldsborough Mort" Some clarifications and more attention to precise names might help the reader understand what's going on. (I'd fix it myself of course, but there is a large amount of things I do not know.) Mitch Ames (talk) 13:51, 18 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

unresolved space

edit

What is "an unresolved space", in the context of "Dalgety woolstore ... remains an unresolved space". How does one resolve a space? Mitch Ames (talk) 13:53, 18 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Once that question is answered, it might be possible to reword the sentence so that the use of the word frontage makes sense - a frontage is nominally a one-dimensional (excluding height) boundary, so one would not typically have a two-dimensional (excluding height) woolstore on it.
