There is a citation error on this article that needs to be attended to. Being an inexperienced wiki editor, I dare not touch it myself. -- 146.85.237.185 ( talk) 15:52, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

This entry is mostly worthless, just an advertisment. "Topshop is an outlet for girls who enjoy changing their clothes on a regular basis..." ? Give me a break. That's like "America is a place for people who love freedom and hate bad people." -- BlackberryLaw 20:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Today, I did what I could in an attempt to make the entry less like an advertisement. As an entry, it just sucks in general.

I tidied this rticle up abit last night, added afew links to some other wiki's, The stuff written on TopshopUSA is of really poor quality, if it isnt tided up i may delete it. Sheep21 1:24am, 24 July 2006
I'm studyin topshop and need to know the meanings behind the company. what are the ideologies conveyed through the models, clothes etc. also the political economy (study of production, arts of selling and buying, the relationship between production and consumption)any help here? would be grateful.
I think you are looking in the wrong place for the above information to be honest. What you have requested as added info would be an interely different topic and would also be based a lot on individual opinion which is not what this sight is about. Its a n encyclopedia and not a text book.
I deleted " Young females cannot afford the ridiculous prices they are currently asking for their average-quality clothes." as it wasn't neutral Pippa.rose 13:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
There is really a CHAIN of stores in the Congo? Does it deserve any more of a mention with it being at the top of the article instead of at the bottom with the other international locations?
Hi, Not an experienced user of this, please be aware that Topshop does not have stores in Austria
In the 1980s TopShop was deeply unfashionable, its successful re-invention as a fashionable brand is an astonishing marketing success.
"Deeply unfashionable" according to whom? Fashion is subjective - without a source, the above statement is opinion, not fact.
It would be more neutral to define Topshop's progress in terms of commercial success, rather than "fashionability". 217.155.20.163 17:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
isn't 'deeply unfashionable', or rather 'deeply fashionable' oxymoronic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.155.40 ( talk) 17:59, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
There's a little Australian flag there. Is Top Shop in Australia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.218.79.211 ( talk) 01:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
I removed this sentence as it seemed somewhat trivial (a single protest in a single store that only appeared to involve two people, with key news value being the fact that the officers were armed): 'In February 2011 armed police arrested 19 year old Jed Miller (after searching him in front of shocked library-goers) for writing "pay your taxes" in washable ink on the wall of a Top Shop branch in Colchester.' This has been reverted by SovalValtos. Fair enough, but it isn't a particularly well-constructed addition at present, so could we a) expand to provide a bit more context about the protest to relate it back to the subject of the article, which is Topshop and b) remove/tone down the 'in front of shocked library goers' – 'shocked' isn't actually in the newspaper report as far as I can see and sounds suspiciously like a point of view that merely sensationalises the story. Many thanks. Libby norman ( talk) 10:41, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
I'm starting to improve this page, notably the history section. Topshop is a key brand in the UK with a long history, and worked with Mary Quant, Stirling Cooper and the like in the early days, as well as helping to take high fashion concepts into mass market retail. It may take a few days to infill and upgrade the history section as I am sourcing not just from current Goggle-able stuff but newspaper archives. I've taken the flag off the history section as I do this as it's just a bit more clutter on the page. It can be put back on after I've finished if other editors think it still needs more work. Many thanks Libby norman ( talk) 11:58, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
I happened to be in Paris a couple of times in the late 1990s and recall seeing a branch of Top Shop in the form of a stand-alone shop unit. It made a bit of an impression on me, simply for being a British brand in a foreign country. Obviously this "original research" would not qualify for inclusion in the actual article, but I wonder whether it would be worth investigating online or through any other suitable routes.

There have been modern slavery allegations against TopShop, it seems important to cover this in the article.
Thanks
