Welcome!

Hello, Karmaloop334, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Karmaloop, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:51, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm NottNott. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Karmaloop— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~ NottNott talk|contrib 20:48, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Karmaloop. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:51, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, while I appreciate your feedback. I am a current employee of Karmaloop and almost everything on this page is updated and I have been asked by our owners to update the information. Greg Selkoe is no longer the CEO and the personal information on here is no longer relevant to the company. We want to take out the unnecessary, outdated information, make it brief with updated facts with where the company stands now and just a little touch of how it started. Please let me update this without you reverting the changes because as of right now, all of this information is inaccurate, outdated, and false. Thank youKarmaloop334 (talk) 19:23, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

@Karmaloop334: See WP:COI and WP:SOAPBOX. Removing that much cited material is clear evidence that you're not here to build an encyclopedia and if you continue to edit in that manner you're likely to be blocked from editing. NottNott talk|contrib 22:16, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

The key to successfully editing when you have a conflict of interest is to add proposed changes to the article's talk page and to include a source for each proposed change. Then someone who isn't connected to the company can review the changes and implement them him/herself. It's tedious, I know, but that way nobody can say the article serves anything but a neutral point of view (which is not to say that any of your additions were particularly egregious). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 01:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank Rhododendrites for updating the page. I really appreciate it. Looks great. The only thing I would like to add is Greg Selkoe no longer works for Karmaloop as of July 2015. Karmaloop334 (talk) 16:22, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

please see the following sites and maybe you can make the edits as you please. http://bostinno.streetwise.co/2015/05/26/new-karmaloop-ceo-seth-haber-replaces-greg-selkoe/ another article: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/karmaloop-names-industry-veteran-seth-haber-ceo-300089011.html this is why we would like to take personal info about greg out of the article: http://www.betaboston.com/news/2015/05/21/karmaloop-sale-approved-ceo-selkoe-to-be-replaced/ Karmaloop334 (talk) 21:16, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

An article about a company should be current with regard to basic facts, but we cover aspects of a subject in proportion to the coverage of those aspects in relation to the body of literature about that subject. Selkoe is a big part of the body of sources about Karmaloop, so it only makes sense to retain him as a significant part of the article. That said, it did need to be updated and had a lot of excess detail while missing some crucial bits. Take a look at it now. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Rhododendrites I appreciate the edits made to the Karmaloop page. It looks great. The only other change is that Greg was let go from Karmaloop in July 2015 after the bankruptcy and is not involved with our company. Karmaloop334 (talk) 16:24, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
