Of course the Metro Centre is bigger, it's the biggest in Europe. Yes, when Bluewater opened they did take that title for a short time, but after the expansion of 2004 the Metro Centre is now the biggest again. It does have a theme park, but then that shouldn't really take much away from the size of the shopping complex. Doesn't Bluewater have recreational areas? hedpeguyuk 17:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Is this quote correct? I think it has changed "and is jointly owned by four major UK institutions, Prudential plc (35%), Lend Lease Europe Ltd (30%), the Lend Lease Retail Partnership (25%) and Hermes (10%)." Can someone confirm please. I have removed it for the time being-- Screen42 18:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
I've just done a major cleanup and expansion of the article, based on the Bluewater book published in 1999. What I didn't do, however, was move the article to Bluewater, which is the full name of the shopping centre. I know there's already a redirect there, but it's a matter of doing things right. Maybe locals call it the Bluewater shopping centre, but I don't see the need to make that the title of the article. Besides, there's no need for disambiguation, but in that case the title should be Bluewater (shopping center). Is there any reason not to move the article to Bluewater? -- maf 18:51, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Bluewater (shopping center) is now a redirect to Bluewater, in case any one looks there for this article. Dolive21 10:41, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted the edits to this article and Bluewater by 88.106.13.39. The author contradicts himself/herself across the articles. In the Metrocentre article he says the Metrocentre has the largest retail floor area (which AFAICT, is the usual accepted measure of shopping centre size) but is smaller than Bluewater because it has a smaller "multi-activity" area, whatever that is. In the Bluewater article, he goes on to state that Bluewater has the largest retail floor space (which is simply incorrect) not mentioning "multi-activity" area at all.
Secondly the statement that the architecture is copyrighted and permission needs to be sought to take photographs needs a citation before it is returned. I'm slightly confused as to how it is possible to copyright an architecture, or what the centre owners would seek to gain by stopping tourists taking photos around the centre Pit-yacker 14:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
'Bluewater had its own police station and ambulance station with a private entrance from St James' Lane in Stone'
