Image:Rosslogo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 10:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
"Ross offers brand name clothing, footwear, bedding, furniture, fine jewelry, beauty products, and housewares. All merchandise is 20 - 60% below regular department and specialty store prices." That excerpt is from the history section. Seems really out of place. Should it be deleted? (This unsigned comment posted by user:Halladay, 1 August 2007 at )

The result of the move request was: page moved. DrKiernan ( talk) 17:09, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Ross (company) → Ross Stores – This was moved from Ross Dress for Less to Ross (company). This was not a good move, seeing as the official company is named Ross Stores, Inc. Being that we don't include the "Inc." (et. al), this should be moved to Ross Stores. phøenixMøurning ( talk/ contribs ) 01:48, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
The founder of Ross is Stuart-Moldaw not Bill ikanson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.107.20 ( talk) 01:32, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved per the WP:COMMONNAME arguments below. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Calidum 02:46, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
Ross Stores →
Ross Dress for Less – * Official news sources like
this use the full name.
Furthermore, the logo always uses the "dress for less" portion, suggesting that it is not a slogan but rather part of the official name. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 22:19, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
