Talk:Warby Parker/Archives/2015

Proposal to bring this article up-to-date
Hello! I am working on behalf of Warby Parker to update this article. I noticed that the article had an excellent foundation, and I am proposing to update it with additional well-sourced facts and data. I am a Wikipedia user and this is the first time I have suggested updates to an article with which I have a *very clear* conflict of interest, so I feel somewhat uncomfortable making these suggestions. My hope is that the info is neutral/well-sourced, and that it can provide a jumping-off point for updating the Warby Parker page.

With that long preamble over, I am placing a draft of the proposed update in a collapse box below. Any feedback at all would be gratefully received.

UPDATE MARCH 31: I reformatted this—hopefully it is correct.

 * Thanks Molly, for the suggestions! I have some feedback about the section structure, and there are some technical things to do like mark up the references differently, but otherwise I think most of what you wrote is perfectly fine to incorporate in to the article. I'll dig in to the details more in a bit, Steven Walling &bull; talk   05:23, 7 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've made some structural edits, a few small style changes, and tried to incorporated some of the images you uploaded. Otherwise, I think I've been able to use most of the new content and citations. Any thoughts? Steven Walling &bull; talk   04:44, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Recent addition
An IP who recently created two draft articles for a new eyeglass company keeps adding that they are a major competitor of Warby Parker into the article. I have three problems with the information. 1. It appears to be spam because the IP is probably someone at the company since an article about the company was also created by one of the owners and when the article was marked for speedy deletion the IP contested the deletion. 2. The information is malplaced in the middle of the history section of the article. This is not part of their history. 3. The source provided does not support the statement that Mason Eyewear is a major competitor of Warby Parker as the new information claims. GB fan 10:32, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Added back again with no explanation or discussion here. Also reverted my removal of it again.  GB fan 15:43, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I have removed the information again. I have given the user (editing as both MichaelKleinman and 76.18.25.245) their third warning for using Wikipedia for advertising. If you need to revert them again, please be sure to give them a final warning on either talk page by adding  Warby Parker - ~  to their talk page. If they revert after that we will then be able to block them. (I have also added notes to both talk pages "reminding" them to log in when they edit.) - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 16:57, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
