I am going to assume that you are 151.68.145.220. Because you referred using the IP address as "my submission" and that this talkpage is the author's talkpage. It is best to sign in using your account each time you edit as IP addresses and user accounts are deemed as different individuals. The term window shopping is a phrase and is commonly used in articles and etc. So, it is even more convincing that you contribute your submission fully at our sister project which is the house for words and phrases. You can even explain about the etymology, or simply the history of a word all there. EROS ^message 13:44, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

@Heliosxeros: I disagree with your assessment of this article. Yes, "window shopping" is a phrase, but it refers to a very specific activity, and ThorpeCleopatra has done a good job of tracing the cultural and historic roots of that activity, and its significance to the retail industry. I think this article goes well beyond a dictionary definition, and is sufficiently sourced to reliable sources to find a place in the encyclopedia. ThorpeCleopatra, I recommend that you resubmit the draft for review (I've done some clean up work on it). I won't be the one to accept or decline it, as I've placed my skin in the game by contributing to it, but I think it deserves further consideration.
