Talk:Herbalife

Thanks for your messages re: the Herbalife article. You are handling it exactly right given your conflict of interest: pointing out issues on the talk page rather than editing the article yourself. (I wish more corporate PR people would take the time to read our Conflict of Interest Guideline and our PR FAQ.)

In the past, I've edited that article to eliminate both pro-Herbalife and anti-Herbalife stuff that did not meet our core content requirements:

1. Verifiability
2. No Original Research
3. Neutral Point of View

I am traveling and can't follow up on your comments this week, but please, if someone else has not addressed them by the middle of next week, please remind me about this on my talk page at User talk:A. B..

Deleting sourced material

Please don't delete sourced material without giving a good reason, and prefererably, after disucsison on the talk page. I've started a thread on the topic at Talk:Herbalife#Unexplained deletions of sourced material.   Will Beback  talk  20:27, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Due to your COI, please refrain from editing the article

Please don't do it. If you continue, your account may be blocked. Using the talk page will do just fine. Use the power of persuasion, not your position as a representative of Herbalife. -- Brangifer (talk) 05:39, 16 January 2010 (UTC) I'm more than happy to use the talk page, as I've been doing so for the past year or two. That said, it is extremely difficult and time consuming for a public company that does business in 72 markets to check each wiki page daily for changes. It's rediculous that an identified person can make a changes to info on clinical studies that were published in several journals by respected researchers.I have applied to get some type of protection status on our page. I welcome any suggestions as how to best keep this page factual. Thanks. Georgefischer (talk) 18:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Herbalife appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. tedder (talk) 01:18, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Herbalife. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. tedder (talk) 00:41, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Let me know what edit you're referring to. I've been updating this page on a factual basis for the past two years and I'm careful not to turn it into a promotional piece. There have been several instances where people have made edits that are not based on fact, or of their own opinion (without identifying themselves), such as the Clinical Studies section that was changed tho we cited several medical journal resources. I can always be reached at georgef@herbalife.com or 213-745-0519 to discuss how to best manage this page. Our goal is that it's kept to facts.Thanks, George Fischer Georgefischer (talk) 20:59, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
