WHAT DOES GAP STAND FOR??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.105.40 ( talk) 14:36, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
There is a common meme on the internet and amongst some environmental activists that the Fisher family, which is documented to own hundreds of thousands of acres of Mendicino County, has engaged in unsustainable logging--clearcutting--of old growth redwood forests. It's very difficult to find sources for these allegations and, while I don't doubt them, I wonder if anyone has authoritative sources. If so, the article would benefit from some discussion of this practice (or at least the Fisher family articles may). -- Jonathan Feinberg 01:37, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
Sure, the company was originally known as The Gap, but when it introduced its current corporate image in (I think) 1990, it began referring to itself as Gap, not The Gap. While many or most people in the US probably still call it The Gap out of habit, it's not what the company calls itself. I would suggest we move the page. -- ProhibitOnions 14:24, 2005 May 31 (UTC)
The article was written as if celebrites were only appearing in Gap commercials since 2004. They've been around since around 2001 at least, with the Gap Jeans TV commercial with Orlando Bloom and Kate Beckinsale. And celebs like Rachel Weisz were on print ads (at bus stops and subways) a bit after that. I remember an early 2000-ish commercial with Juliette Lewis and Daft Punk too.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Madchester ( talk • contribs) 18:17, 9 July 2005
Not everybody who uses Wikipedia is an American. A request for information about "The Gap" should not go by default to a clothing retailer only, as a good many of the people asking about "The Gap" would be asking about something completely different (for instance, "The Gap" is also the name of a suburb), and I feel that people should not be constrained to the one option for the topic. Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, and not an advertisement for a clothing retailer. The peremptorily given command from the uncivil Chris Ruvolo to change all the links to "The Gap", leads me to request help in this insurmountable task, as I feel that it is important that people asking about "The Gap" should be given the option of choosing which one they are actually interested in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Figaro ( talk • contribs) 02:52, 3 September 2005
Seven hours after the previous paragraph
I have now fixed up the more than 100 links that needed to be fixed. Four of the links that needed fixing were not for the clothing store at all and should never have been directed to the clothing store (two of the links were actually for the suburb, The Gap, which I have mentioned in the paragraph above). There are two pages left which supposedly still require fixing so that there will be links to
The Gap (for the clothing retailer). One such page is for
Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Log/2005 February 7 (which
I have tried several times to fix - where the link has then been correctly fixed up on the 'Preview' page, but which somehow loses the editing which I have done as soon as the page is saved, and then reverts back to the way it was before I changed the link). The other page is for
Wikipedia:Reference desk/all which, although being listed as having a link to 'The Gap' that needs fixing, does not, in fact, contain any link to 'The Gap' with *can* be fixed - in other words, the so-called link is non-existent on that particular page). Therefore these two pages present an impossible situation - I can't fix either of them, no matter how much I try to do so, and believe me, I have tried to do just that. Can somebody else please help with these two particular pages. Thank you. —Preceding

I had suggested merging with "Gap Inc" because we couldn't get just "Gap" for this article. However, I felt it necessary to get rid of "The Gap" which hasn't been the offical term for the store or company for 15 years. So, I moved the article to "Gap (clothing retailer)" and rerouted to the moved page from many other pages that were either linked to the old page or ones I just found out there.
Another thing I did was to move the location of "Gap", the French town, to "Gap, France" instead. So now, when any user searches either "Gap" or "The Gap" they are routed to the "Gap (disambiguation)" page. I think that's fairer considering how many meanings the terms are sharing.

I have removed the following statement and link from the article because they don't seem to have anything to do with Gap (and yes, I followed the link):
However, the company has continued to draw negative attention for its labor practices. In May 2006, it was discovered that employees (including children) of Western, a company that makes clothes for Walmart in Jordan, had been working 109 hours per week and had gone six months without being paid. Some employees also claimed that they had been raped by managers. [1]

I've been watching this article evolve for sometime now. When this page first came up, it began as a blatant ad for Gap until we edited it. After seeing both 'Control Over the Word "Gap" ' and the labour practices section continually removed by random users, I am beginning to suspect Gap Corporate is tinkering with this article. Call me paranoid if you want.
Despite this, The Gap has received mounting criticism over working conditions in its factories. During the spring of 2003 The Gap, along with 21 other companies, was involved in a class action lawsuit filed by sweatshop workers in Saipan. The allegations included "off the clock" hours, where workers were not paid for working overtime, unsafe working conditions, and forced abortion policies. A settlement of 20 million dollars was reached but The Gap contends that the allegations were without merit, saying that lumping the companies together in one lawsuit was unfair.
I don't live my life based on what the media do or do not make a fuss about. However I do update the GAP article as I want it to be accurate, is that not what we are all after? As long as the guidelines are followed (which I do), then there is no issue. GAP employs 160,000, are they all suddenly not allowed to update this article? Wikipedia is about accuracy not a focus for attacks on the GAP organisation that are unfounded, or as the previous author suggests whitewashing. 62.7.225.135 14:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
The references (including to the GAP's own website) about compliance standards and an assertion that "the company has taken significant steps to resolve the systematic abuses of worker's rights" are all dead links, which seems suspicious. Removing
After going over this article some more, I have decided to mark it as {{ advert}}. My dispute is over the overall structure of the document: It more or less resembles something you'd see on Gap's website than you would in an encyclopedia. It looks nothing like Target Corporation or Wal-Mart. Where is the History section? It talks about "brands" and store count, but these should be combined into a Subsidiaries section and be in prose. The corporate governance should be in prose and include history of directors as well. Much of the marketing strategy section is true with about any other major retailer. There is also Wikipedia:WikiProject Retailing/Company page structure to go off of. Regards, Tuxide 03:28, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
This entire section is under developed and poorly written, it also seems biased toward the company. I suggest a deletion of this section and perhaps a re-write to focus simply on previous marketing campaigns, successes and failures, etc. -- Generic14 01:35, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
In an attempt to make the article more compliant to the Retailing company page structure I have created a more focused history section. I will continue expansion as time allows me to. -- Generic14 02:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I am removing the template:advert tag from the article because it does not seem to apply. As a neutral observer who has never read the article before now, it does not in any way read like an advertisement for the company. It contains a lot of derogatory information, true or not, and most but not all is fully referenced and in encyclopedic tone. There are some things that need to be cleaned up for sure. I see some partisanship and activism here, and allegations that someone with an interest in the company is editing the article. If so that deserves more appropriate tags like the "COI" ones or the Cleanup tags. Better yet, why not deal with the issue of conflcit or cleanup and get the article in good shape? It's a pretty important company so Wikipedia deserves a good article about it. Wikidemon 07:10, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

The new Gap logo has been placed at Wikimedia Commons, with a statement that the logo is too primitive in its composition to be copyrightable. I wonder what the Gap's intellectual property lawyers would make of that argument. I find the procedures for deletion too complex to tackle, but i hope someone else can nominate it for deletion from WC, and have it put back here as a fair use image. I also think the article would benefit greatly from a logo history section. I ALSO remember their first jingle: "fall into the Gap". that should have a mention.

Gap (clothing retailer) → Gap Inc. – The company refers to itself as Gap Inc.; that title redirects to this article at its current naming. Moving the page to Gap Inc. eliminates the need for the parenthetical disambiguation the article currently has. 68DANNY2 ( talk) 17:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
I was looking through this article recently, and I noticed that it neglected to mention the babyGap and GapKids divisions once. This brings me to my question: are these actually considered separate divisions of Gap that are worthy of their own articles (like Old Navy and Banana Republic), or are they just brands that fall within Gap's banner? Either way, they need to be mentioned in the article, I was just wondering the manner in which it should be addressed. Thanks, WikiRedactor ( talk) 00:39, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Gap (clothing retailer) → Gap Inc. – The company refers to itself as Gap Inc.; that title redirects to this article at its current naming. Moving the page to Gap Inc. eliminates the need for the parenthetical disambiguation the article currently has. 68DANNY2 ( talk) 17:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
I was looking through this article recently, and I noticed that it neglected to mention the babyGap and GapKids divisions once. This brings me to my question: are these actually considered separate divisions of Gap that are worthy of their own articles (like Old Navy and Banana Republic), or are they just brands that fall within Gap's banner? Either way, they need to be mentioned in the article, I was just wondering the manner in which it should be addressed. Thanks, WikiRedactor ( talk) 00:39, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
