- It's quite possible that this material is being added by someone with internal connections to the company who has access to non-public information. The core policy of WP:V|Verifiability]] requirs that anyone should be able to confirm information precludes such sources. Perhaps the best action is to redirect the article back to A&F until this is notable and verifiable. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 07:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Sources
editI removed this link
because it appears to be a forum, and so is not acceptable as a source, pre WP:V. An item as prominent as their logo shouldn't need any source other than the company's website, since presumably it appears widely in company promotional materials and products. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
store product example photos
editIs someone able to get a better picture of the Gilly Hicks storefront? Also a picture of the store interior including merchandise would be a good addition to the article because this in a different type of product than the other A&F Brands. 66.94.95.194 (talk) 19:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Do we know if that's even a Gilly Hicks storefront? The photo is dated 2004, which may be just because someone didn't set the date on their camera. Furthermore it's blurry and the PD license is dubious. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
That is the gilly storefront in Natick, MA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.114.190 (talk) 01:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Color Scheme
editAlthough it says Burgundy and Sepia, is that accurate? I know what the webpage looks like, but the bags are navy and inside have white and navy striped tissue-paper. And all associates must wear a navy uniform, I think it should be changed to navy and white, similar to abercrombie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.251.54 (talk) 01:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Men and Womens Underwear
editHi,
Someone added that the store sells mens underwear. I have been there a couple times, it only sells womens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.114.190 (talk) 15:26, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I didn't notice that was added. I can also confirm that Gilly Hicks only sells Women's Underwear, so I deleted Men's from the category. However, should loungewear be added. After all, they do sell sweatpants and such. Along with swimwear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.251.54 (talk) 07:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Mens was added again to the description. Gilly sells womens only and has no future intentions of selling mens apparel.
Expansion Plans
editJust curious where the information was obtained that The Empire Mall in Sioux Falls, SD will have a Gilly Hicks opening in August 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jt gop (talk • contribs) 03:54, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Name
editI think that Gilly Hicks' name needs to be changed to Gilly Hicks: Sydney. Does anyone agree or disagree? If there is no comments I will change the name. Holtville (talk) 00:51, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- Who calls it that? Most of the press reports and other sites I checked just call it "Gilly Hicks".[1][2][3][4][5][6] ·:· Will Beback ·:· 01:05, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- Gilly Hicks will suffice. мirаgeinred سَراب ٭ (talk) 16:54, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Store Decor and NOISE level
editThe store is very ADA unfriendly if one has mobility, sight, hearing, or neurological issues.
I was just at a recently opened store in Glendale. The interior is dimly lit in black with lighting in each of the smallish alcoves on the walls to highlight the items (bras, panties, etc.) inside of them. Everyone looked like they were wearing black. Lovely product and display. The store is designed inside so that you are walking from one small 'room' into another. The middle of the store runs from the entrance all the way to the backside where the registers are. Towards the middle is an area with a large round table in the center with bath and beauty items placed upon it. I don't know how all of their store locations are decorated but if you know someone with sight problems you may want to warn them ahead of time.
The music is blasting out of the doorways. You can stand in front of the storefront on either side and hear it. Unfortunately, I lasted about two minutes in there before I left without purchasing anything. It's not that the music was bad because it wasn't however I have hearing problems as well as a neurological disorder and music that is playing that loudly causes pain issues for me after the fact and not just in my ears but bodywise. If I hadn't been facing the girl who was trying to address me while I was in the store (so that I could read her lips) I would not have been able to understand her. Therefore, if you know anyone with a hearing disability or with Fibromyalgia an advance warning is in order.
A serious redesign of the interior is in order here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beachinseal (talk • contribs) 21:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
This bizarre article
editI am more than a little shocked that this talk page hasn't been edited since March 2009, according to the page history. Some of the earlier comments seem like an internal discussion of A&F marketing people.
But the article itself is quite poorly written. It seems like it was written by a 11 year old and hasn't been edited. The tone is strange and chatty, and there's editorializing here and there. There are simple comma and punctuation errors, and the sentences are choppy and sometimes difficult to read.
I don't think I have time or the skill to fix this article, but I wonder if anyone who sees this message wants to spruce this article up a bit? I'm surprised there isn't actually a marketing team working on keeping this page spiffy. 71.237.216.198 (talk) 07:48, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Please keep your opinions off Wikipedia.
editWikipedia is NOT, I repeat, NOT the website to post your opinion about different topics. Please delete the following text.
"Gilly Hicks's first marketing film was restricted to over-age viewers. Nevertheless, it was easy to simply access the video by using a fake name, birthdate, and zipcode.".
That second sentence is clearly breaking the Wikipedia guidelines. Eleventhblock (talk) 22:56, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
editCyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Edits Requested from Hollister Co/Gilly Hicks
editHi there,
By way of disclosure, we are associates of Abercrombie & Fitch Co., which owns Hollister and Gilly Hicks and we would like to provide some edits to this page that update some of the outdated information.
To start, while Gilly Hicks stores did close in 2013, the brand was reintroduced as a sub brand of Hollister Co. (Gilly Hicks by Hollister) in 2017 and Gilly Hicks product is now carried online at Hollister Co. and in all stores.
Additionally, some Hollister stores have a small Gilly Hicks "shop in shop" within Hollister stores.
The CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is not Mike Jeffries. It is Fran Horowitz.
Please advise on the best way for these edits to be incorporated into the current page.
Thanks, A&F Co. Communications Team.
