Is there any particular part that is worrying you? It does have 5000 stores, odd, so it would need quite a comprehensive article. Both editors Mattm64 and ICookie work exclusively on the articles, and are true SPA's working together. They are possibly UPE's. I'll open an entry up at coin.

I'm an experienced WP editor and want to update the logo currently used in a radio station article. I initially thought to post the logo to the Wikimedia Commons, as I do with other photos/graphics, but based on the Commons help desk's advice, I understand I can use the
