Hello - I would appreciate you helping in building a picture but putting on info from the grocer which was got off companys house is a little bit low. For the record we made a loss of £50,000 because we spent 1.5m on redevelopment. I don't know whether your aware of our business but we are 100 year old company and i would appreciate you perhaps helping me tell our story rather than the reference you added!
Hello JCS1911. Please see the guidance below on this page about conflict of interest. The material on the loss made by the company is reasonable content for Wikipedia which is an impartial encyclopedia, not a forum for advertising or promotion. My aim as an editor is to be impartial and objective, not to help a company to tell its story. Best wishes, Peteinterpol (talk) 09:20, 27 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
I am not using this as an advertising tool simply i want to create a more detailed account of how the company has come to be. I have never seen anyone publish references to accounts about non blue chip company's before, have you? I don't think this at all reasonable and will potentially anger a lot of people which of course is not the purpose of wikipedia.
It might be helpful to seek the views of other editors and/or administrators on whether the content you are challenging is appropriate for the article. Peteinterpol (talk) 16:42, 27 October 2011 (UTc)
I believe you have done a good job adding content and organising our site but i still want our accounts for 2011 removed. You ask me to seek peoples views, who would that be? Wikipedia is a powerful tool and i am sure you will agree as you have created a babmington house page they would be offended if some one published there accounts good or bad. I will not ask again and emplore you to remove that reference which is misleading and potentially damaging we as a company did not set this page up and will have no alternative other than asking to have it removed. We have a staff number of over 300 people who may read this and worry about there jobs etc which is not the case at all.
I am very happy to initiate consultation with other editors using the Wikipedia facilities available. Leave that with me, I'll set something moving via the Talk page of Jones Convenience Stores. In terms of your concern about your employees discovering this information, please note that it is already out there on the Internet and in national publications. The information came from the Grocer who in turn obtained it from your publiclly available accounts. Regards, Peteinterpol (talk) 15:15, 28 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Granted but you will have to go through pages on google to find that information which most people wouldn't do. now it is on wikipedia and links etc have been set up to towns etc it is accesible be so many more. It has gone from being a candle in a room to full beam headlights. I am sure you would not like to be in this situation if this was reversed and again any examples on accounts on other pages would be appreciated!
That's a good point. Really I think what needs to happen is for this page to be moved to a new page called "L&F Jones", with perhaps a redirect to it from a "Jones Convenience Stores" page. That is what happens in Wikipedia for Tesco and the Tesco Metro page which is just a redirect rather than a page about their convenience store chain. Jones Conveniences Stores doesn't seem to be a separate company at all but the retail division of L&F Jones, so the use of the Company infobox on this page is also not really appropriate. Does anyone have any views on this proposed change to this subject and its page?Peteinterpol (talk) 10:09, 30 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hi all i am Wikipedia newbie but it looks like a mistake on the page as it says Peasedown store closed in 2008 after being open since 1911? I know this company has grown but i doubt they would have 2 stores in 1911 that are about six miles apart. What do you think??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jewboy1984 (talk • contribs) 08:59, 31 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
You may well be right but the source (Somerset Guardian) says "The Peasedown store, which has served villagers since September 1911...". Perhaps they got confused with the date of the overall company's foundation. While there is doubt I will remove the potentially inaccurate reference.
