2012-03-27 16:18:50 I thought it was Rocwiki policy that we didn't open up pages for businesses that had yet to open? —Alex-C
2012-03-27 22:45:43 Alex-we haven't discussed this at a meeting and I see nowhere where a decision was reached. Item has been added to the April meeting agenda. There's a comment on Damian's page supporting creation of the pages. So far, it's EileenF, myself and this other contributor versus yourself and DamianKumor. Generally majority wins so it'll be up to anyone else who pipes up to see what occurs. With the current votes we will continue creating the pages unless the tide turns. —PeteB
2012-03-28 13:13:23 Just to add my $.02's worth; I believe that allowing pages for yet-to-open locations leaves the door wide open for sockpuppetry and marketing. Since you can't 'review' a place that is yet to open, all that is left to post is conjecture, innuendo, and spam. FWIW, I've been in DQ's in locations in about 40 different states, and trust me, it's nothing special. Most DQ's are just a counter in the back of the local Speedway gas/convenience store. Their soft-serve is nothing special, especially compared to local chains like Abbot's (although it's probably cheaper). —Alex-C
2012-03-28 14:00:33 I've often wondered why we have pages for national chains as well. But in some cases I guess it allows us to highlight anything interesting about their local locations, such as the Little Caesars Dancer Guy. —EileenF
2012-03-28 15:30:55 You can turn your nose up at national chains, but as long as people are EATING at them, you have something valid to talk about. DQ (as well as the new Mighty Taco on Jefferson) are still construction sites. Unless you wish to comment on the exterior cladding, what is there to review until it opens? —Alex-C
2012-03-28 15:43:08 Alex-we're not turning our nose up at anything. It's a business that is coming and will definitely be open. I say leave it. PeteB
2012-03-28 16:56:24 Alex-C is getting huffy about someone turning their nose up at something? Seriously? —EileenF
2012-03-28 18:26:23 This page has been in existence since 2010, before there was even a DQ in the area. —EileenF

Page was created by AlexanderGartley on 4/2010.—PeteB
2012-03-29 12:17:14 I created it as a "wishlist" type thing. Now its a wish (almost) come true! I got excited and changed it to a "coming soon" page, which isn't a standard on RocWiki. Sorry if I jumped the gun on that one. I don't mind waiting until it opens to make it a business page. If you want the Address macro removed, I understand. —AlexanderGartley
2012-03-29 12:20:36 I also agree with EileenF that pages for local locations of (inter)national chains should focus on what's unique/remarkable/noteworthy about the local location and not as much focused on the chain. —AlexanderGartley
2012-03-29 14:39:16 You jumped the gun only by creating a page for something that did not exist in the Rochester area and at the time had no plans of moving here. However, since the page existed, changing it to a "coming soon" page once the plans were announced was the most logical thing to do. —EileenF
