Someone changed the header paragraph to say that Concord Mills is the largest shopping mall in North Carolina; it is not. As I'd originally written, Winston-Salem's Hanes Mall is the largest. From the Salisbury Post:
As a shopper goes through Concord Mills for the first time, he probably won’t be able to imagine a bigger place, but the fact is it [is] only be the second largest mall in North Carolina. At 1.4 million square feet, it trails Winston-Salem’s Hanes Mall, which has 1.8 million square feet. Charlotte’s SouthPark mall measures 1.2 million square feet.
introduction
i cleaned up the intro paragraph, to make it easier to read and remove unnecessary information.
for example, the fact that southpark is 2nd in size implies it is larger than concord mills, so the phrase that followed explaining that was unnecessary. also i removed the sentence saying no differentiation was made in the visitor statistics between local and "those who travelled a distance" as it, too, was unnecessary and gratuitous.

Fair use rationale for Image:Concordmills.png
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Concordmills.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Removal of Layout Section
I just removed the entire layout section. The main reasons are 1) because it doesn't deserve a separate section of its own and 2) because there's no reference citations anywhere (breaking the rules of no original research).
Layout shouldn't be it's own section. The important info should just be added to the main article (without plugging stores) once proper citations are added. And yes I know the mall is set up in to themes which is interesting and deserving of mention, but you'll need to cite references sources. Also, even if there were references, why were only two themes highlighted and not the rest? Why those two? If you were going to choose any why wouldn't you start with the NASCAR theme (and basketball) since it's the most uniquely relevant to the region? Feel free to add the theme information back in once somebody finds citation references. --Fife Club (talk) 15:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
