Hello, and welcome to wikipedia! Unfortunately, because you work for Woods Coffee, you are discourage from editing its article. This does not mean you cannot edit the article, but you are encouraged to make suggestion for changes on its talk page instead. Check out the five pillars (WP:5P) of wikipedia is about. The second pillar enforces us to maintain article in a neutral point of view (WP:NPOV). Also, because you claim to be a representative, see WP:PEW for help.

I have been following the conflict involving an anonymous editor who posts from Western Washington University. This editor appears have a serious quarrel with Woods Coffee that goes far beyond editing for NPOV or to remove advertising language. There are secondary sources for a several of the things that appeared in early versions of the Woods_Coffee page. I think that Woods should have some leeway here to mention pertinent information that has secondary sourcing. While I agree that early articles were overly commercial, there was other complimentary information that was from secondary sources. I am going to continue to follow this article. If User:Jessicamarlae is not able to add pertinent information in edits, I will do so. I am a satisfied customer of Woods Coffee in Bellingham, and especially appreciate Woods employees. I have no other affiliation with Woods Coffee. Dubyus (talk) 07:55, 18 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Dubyus stop your prattling. You are wrong and you know it. Woods coffee is using wikipedia for corporate propaganda. Wesley Wayne Herman is a (Personal attack removed). See woodscoffeeboycott.com for more information. 140.160.191.97 (talk) 21:39, 20 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Anonymous, you previously advised no personal attacks. What business is it of anyone besides the business owners how the business is operated? Woods chooses which newspapers they will carry and that's a cudgel? A business class might be useful for you.
Your bogus website is full of innuendo and half-truths. You admit to having no interest in NPOV and Wikipedia principles, but rather are committed to the destruction of a legitimate, thriving business. It would be a shame for your boycott to gain any sort of traction; there would likely be collateral damage that smeared other people...if you catch the meaning.

Halt the PAs please, WP:WQA has been notified. Phearson (talk) 18:01, 21 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sounds like sour grapes to me, Dubyus. I agree with IP, after reading the information on woodscoffeeboycott.com, including that Wesley Wayne herman is a convicted felon, I think it is safe to say that he does not have the community's best interest at heart. You can go after Evan Knappenberger all you want, but Woods is going to be put out of business for being the tool of a conservative con-man. Thanks for playing, come again soon.140.160.191.115 (talk) 20:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
