How to cite a MySpace bulletin?[edit]

Affleck's posted a bulletin on using their MySpace account, "Just a quick note to say contrary to rumour we will not be closing on the 19th of January.". I could link to it, but it is only visible to people who are MySpace "friends" with Affleck's. Also, it will expire on the 22nd, 10 days after it was posted. How can I cite something like this? I have saved a copy of it (File->Save Page As...), if that's any use. boffy_b (talk) 17:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Social networking sites such as Myspace are not regarded as reliable sources.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:18, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Closed?[edit]

Affleck's Palace closed on the 26th January

Can anyone cite this? All the sites I can find are just talking about it closing "soon". boffy_b (talk) 04:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I shopped there last Wednesday (30th) so this certainly isn't true. -- Fursday 03:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definately not true. Source is The Manchester Evening News Fallen-Griever (talk) 00:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spellings[edit]

Are the spellings Afflecks and Afflecks Palace correct? Affleck's Palace could have been used in 1981 since the building was once Affleck & Brown's store.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:58, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Affleck & Brown[edit]

My memory is that Affleck's Palace originally opened in the former Affleck & Brown's store on Oldham Street; circa 1985-90 it moved to its current location, which is not A&B's place. If my memory is right, the current wording would not be accurate. Anyone know? Mr Stephen (talk) 09:40, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Riots[edit]

Is anyone able to get any details on the looting taking place in Manchester, and reliable sources for the reports that this has been targeted? Sunyavadin (talk) 23:29, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reports of looting may be premature http://technicalfault.posterous.com/afflecks-palace-looks-okay-despite-last-night?ref=nf Sunyavadin (talk) 10:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Affleck's official Twitter feed says they're fine and trading as usual TR Wolf (talk) 11:43, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
