re: your question
editI really don't think Wikipedia is the best place to carry out your project; however, you might be interested in using a copy of the free MediaWiki software on which Wikipedia itself runs. DS (talk) 12:32, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks DS, I have been looking at the group the sumofus.org for ideas. I would love to be able to initiate such a project. Thank you for the link and advice. Blueskiesinthemorning (talk) 02:04, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Rosenbergs
editJust wondering where you got your information for Rosenbergs, there's no sources on the page. Rohanstorey (talk) 02:17, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Rohanstorey, you can refer to the local mechanic's institute history of Prahran and you will find many references to Rosenberg for many years. We have been there for over 120 years now. But thank you for your query. Blueskiesinthemorning (talk) 08:32, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
The article Rosenberg Shoes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Shop that sells stuff. Little referencing. Orphaned for a decade.

- Hi Pepper Beast, Stuart Rosenberg writing to you in response to your request to have the article removed. Rosenberg shoes is one of the last iconic stores remaining in Victoria, lasting for over 120 years, wars, financial crisis, and as mentioned is considered an iconic piece of history on chapel street. We have families, who have visited the store for generations from all over Australia. It is not just about selling stuff, which is lessoning the true value of the store and service we have provided. My reason for proposing the store in the first place was because I am proud of our history and ancestry, and fourth and likely final member to direct one of melbourne oldest surviving businesses in a time when businesses are disappearing left and right. Tall and short Australians for generations have been ignored by the mainstream, and as the fourth generation manager, I can tell you the store is greatly more than just a retail shop. We find ourselves struggling post covid and to find that you contest the viability of the store incredibly disappointing. It’s a story about history, surviving adversity, providing for an ignored community, one that the store has catered for a greatly overlooked group of Australian for over a century. Our latest recognition and publication and inclusion has been provided by the Stonnington city council that felt proud to include us in the “soul of chapel campaign” that interviewed myself and my staff and discussed inclusion and the historic nature of the store. We were on billboards, online, rag media and posters provided around the entirety of Stonnington and beyond. I have included the URL link below:

- its blurb was as follows:
- Rosenberg Shoes of
- 65 Chapel St, Windsor are
- as original as they come. Over 100 (actually 120) years a fixture of Chapel Street. Four Generations and still going strong. The largest retailer in Australia of plus sized shoes. Rosenberg Shoes is housed in a heritage building and when you step inside it feels timeless. It feels like what it is, a family run business where customer relationships, and friendships, are everything. The staff stay for years not months, as do the customers. It’s something perhaps intangible, but completely invaluable. It’s harder to find in 2022, but when you do, you’re reminded that it will always have its place.
- I don’t understand why you would attack a store that has provided for the community over generations. We are not a Duncan donuts or a conglomerate we are an honest, hardworking team and one of the last family owned businesses that is still in business and actually cares for its customers and relationships. It has not been easy, and remains so post covid and I find that you wish to remove the store because we sell stuff incredible and sad. Please read the existing links attached to the store, speak to anyone one of our customers, speak to the council and historians that have an interest in the area. We have been around since the time of horse and carts, please take a step back and try and understand the nature of the business and what it has meant to so many ostracised Australians and we are still here. It even baffles me. Covid has put incredible pressure on our store, I was incredibly proud to upload the article and recite its history. Please reconsider your proposal to delete the site, and consider being a supporter instead. The history that was provided is a time piece, it involves the store surviving depressions, members serving in the military and honestly serving our patrons for four generation's. If I could call on the many generations of families that have frequented the store, I only wish you could hear their stories, review our Google reviews, yes we sell product but we have been one of the only inclusive business’s in Australia for over a century. I hope you take this into consideration when deciding how you proceed.
- Thank you for taking to time to read my reply and hope you amend your decision.
- Regards,
