Hello Turchiano. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Vitamin and herb stores, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

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

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- WikHead (talk) 03:08, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Conflict Of Interest
I Agree...There is no doubt, I have a COI in regards to the article. Therefore I attempted to keep it neutral, and only presented the facts. (i.e. News Stories, Tv Shows, Research Reports) There is in no doubt competitors on this site in which no accompishemnts, nor controversy has earned them a place. Except they are backed by stockholders (i.e. Vitamin Shoppes, BodyBuilding.com, Whole Foods etc.). With the only possible difference being, we did not hire a PR firm to do our write up. In honesty, it currently has the appearance of "materially reducing important competitive rivalry between the two or more companies" Sherman Antitrust Act

If in any way, any statement made is inaccurate or self promoting I will humbly remove it. All statements and actions although not complete at this time are fully verifable. I am certain that Wikipedia in no way favors large corporate enterprises over that of soley owned small enterprises. In any case I shall proceed only upon the approved disgression of your community.

I humbly request your direction. Should I fail in your expectations, I will fully expect the submittals removal. Please advise.....

Not Easy

Please be patient.... Still learning and doing some clean up..


 * Hello Turchiano. I would like to be of further assistance to you, but admit that articles of this type are really not my area of focus, and believe that its concerns would probably be more fairly and accurately handled by another editor. Through personal observation, even though its grammar does not necessarily warrant the application of an advert tag, I fail to see the enclyclopedic importance of the article (i.e. a reason why it should exist in an encyclopedia) beyond a suspicion that it may have been created for advertisement or promotional purposes. Notability and importance of the subject needs to be asserted here. The article is also in need of multiple independent reliable sources. The Santa Ynez Valley Journal references may possibly count as one, but Youtube and self-published/self-compiled sources (as a rule) do not. I wish you the best of luck with addressing these concerns as well as future development of the article. Stay well, and happy editing! :) -- WikHead (talk) 02:52, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Vitamin and herb stores


The article Vitamin and herb stores has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability issues - COI article about a small local business, referenced only by primary sources, and a single local source. Appears to exist only as a promotional piece.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- WikHead (talk) 15:18, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
