Conflict of interest

Hello, 4119Leap. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Micro Center, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:14, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Micro Center

Hi there, @4119Leap:. I saw your question in the Teahouse, and I am guessing that it relates to the Micro Center article. So I had a bash at adding the information you asked for - please take a look at the article and let me know (by replying here - "18th larges" should be "18th largest") if something else is needed... --Gronk Oz (talk) 10:47, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, @Gronk Oz:. Thank you very much for editing the Micro Center article. I noticed some changes are needed. There is an error in paragraph 3 after "Dealerscope" where "18th larges" should be "18th largest."

article is based on This documents that John Baker and Bill Bayne are founders of Micro Center. Change 2nd sentence in first paragraph to "It was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1979 by John Baker and Bill Bayne, two former Radio Shark employees."

and change 2nd key person in Infobox to Peggy Wolfe, COO

Ed Mershad is not a Vice President of Micro Center

References

Hello again, @4119Leap:. I fixed the typo, added the citation for the founders and added their names to the lead.

However, I did not add Peggy Wolfe as a key person because that reference describes her as "assistant secretary". The links above to www.mergentintellect.com.webproxy3 and tsdr.uspto.gov are both dead links, so I can't add those either.

Finally, I notice there is a "See also" section which just has links to article about a couple of individual competitors. I can't see why those two were chosen, instead of hundreds of others. My inclination is to remove that section: do you have any objection? --Gronk Oz (talk) 07:13, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
