 * You clearly don't know what talkpages are for, or anything about wikiquette (it's impolite to blank other's posts unless they are offensive or against wikipedia guidelines), and by your recent edits of Salt Spring Coffee Co. are completely clueless about WP:COI. YOu should also read WP:Own and WP:What Wikipedia is not.  I'm restoring my warnings to you about breaking wikipe3dia guidelines, and will be reporting this to the administrators' notice board.  You are what's called a WP:SPA and also clearly are engaging in COI activity; which includes trying to advertise your company by using Wikipedia as if it were adspace; read WP:Spam.  Companies have NO RIGHT to control pages about themselves; quite the OPPOSITE.Skookum1 (talk) 01:29, 31 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's what you deleted of my previous warnings to you

Please note the WP:COI template and WP:SPAM warning on top of this article, which you seem to have misconstrued as a platform for company promotion - which Wikipedia is meant to be anything but. See WP:What Wikipedia is not for starters. In reviewing the article's history I also noticed this edit, which your edit comment said "deletion of material not submitted by the company". Actually, material submitted by the company should NOT be in the article at all (COI="conflict of interest"). I note other sections e.g. one titled "Controversy" which you also deleted, with the blatantly COI edit comment "This page is assigned for a company description and historical background as placed here by the company itself". You clearly have no idea what Wikipedia is for, or what its inclusion/content guidelines are, nor do you have respect for contributions made by others than yourself. Myself I see no reason for this article to exist at all; despite the long list of local news-media and industry-media references, unless there is a major news story or a notable owner or some such, WP:Notability is not satisfied, though apparently User:Maclean25 disagrees with me. But just be aware Wikipedia articles are not platforms for company promotion and corporate trivia. They reflect importance and notability and are not places to create that....Skookum1 (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Conflict of interest and vandalism history
Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
