Talk page Comment on Monavie
I've removed your very long comment from the Monavie talkpage because it did not comply with  WP:TPG. Please keep in mind that WP is not a WP:FORUM or a place for WP:SOAP or a publisher of WP:OR. In the future, please make sure that your comments are concise and compliant with WP policies, as long rambling off topic comments tend to impede the editorial process. You are welcome to post a comment again with very clear and brief suggestions related directly to specific content in the article -- e.g sentence x should be changed to y based on details in source z. Also, please ensure that any sources you cite are reliable (see WP:RS) and pertain directly to the subject at hand. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Proposed edit for Monavie Page
I could use some help in formulating the following edit correctly (i.e., to meet WP standards). The Monavie WP Article starts with a description of Monavie, and then states,
 * "MonaVie has been the subject of several controversies, notably: health claims for its products have not been scientifically confirmed or approved by regulatory authorities, its CEO was previously involved in false health claims of another beverage, its business plan resembles a pyramid scheme, and few of its distributors actually make a profit."

I would like to add the following statement to make the above more neutral in accordance with WP's Neutrality guidelines.
 * "Conversely, MonaVie has also received positive reviews. It has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, has received positive reviews from MLM business reviewers, and its Founder and Chairman, Dallin Larsen, was named Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2009."
