Change from MLM to Direct Sales
Hi @Grayfell Thank you for your notes and advice on cleaning up my edits. I wasn't trying to use business cliches or promotions. I thought the edits were valid based on what they company is currently doing. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but shouldn't the short description read direct sales company or supplement company since they are no longer structured as an MLM? Again my apologies for any inconvenience. Mahalo SobaSkillet (talk) 07:15, 10 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello. Some of your recent changes used overly-promotional language and cited unreliable/WP:PRIMARY sources.
 * You are right about the short description, that was a mistake on my part. I'm not sure that being a direct sales company is informative to readers who are looking for a simple overview. Instead, I have changed it just now to "dietary supplement company". This way, readers will know what the company sells instead of how they currently sell it. My understanding is that "health and wellness" is a marketing term that is not really neutral or appropriate, so this seems like the most simple way to summarize the company to me.
 * If they are currently know for how they sell stuff, rather than what they sell (to put it bluntly) your suggestion would work, but... I think that distinction might be the reason they got in trouble with the FTC, right? Focusing on what is being sold, instead, seems sufficient and more neutral, for this reason.
