Hello, I'm Kuru. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Market America have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Kuru  (talk)  21:59, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Kuru, thank you for your message,

I have no intentions of the promoting of any product or services, I simply wanted to provide accurate information in regards to Market America. I thought that Wikipedia valued accuracy of the content of its page, and Market America is not a multi-level marketing company, that is not it's industry, so I wanted to correct it.

I note that I have also corrected the products and services it provides, which can seem promotional, but my intention was, again, to provide accurate information relevant to the company. This would be like adding iPhone 7 as a product of Apple on their wiki page.

Further, this is would be a super poor channeling for driving traffic for products and services anyhow, as this is a page intended for the distribution of knowledge.

Please let me know if the changes can be kept.

Thank you Kuru — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chankyj (talk • contribs)


 * I'm sorry, the material you were removing is sourced to multiple reliable third-party sources. Market America's claim is covered in the lead of the article, and there is already a "product" list which seems adequate. I'm not sure why you removed the "Amway" link. Unfortunately, there seem to be a large number of connected contributors attempting to alter that very language. Since your edits appear to be simple white-washing, it may be best to make your proposals on the article's talk page instead of editing it directly. Kuru   (talk)  23:31, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
