"Herm Rowland asked David Klein to meet with him after the Jelly Belly took on an iconic and very profitable status and told David that he either had to sell him the trademark for the Jelly Belly or he would start to make them under a new name. Having no other manufacturer to produce his Jelly Bellies, he had no choice, but to sell. The documentary Candyman The David Klein Story which can be seen on hulu or Amazon Prime speaks of this morally sad event." This is a subjective statement representing the option of one person.

April 2015 edit

The Jelly Belly Candy Company Wiki page is consistently being edited with inaccurate information as well as to represent self-promotion in violation of Wikipedia Standards. This page has been tagged for several years as containing material that is in dispute or inaccurate. As the archivist (historian) for the Jelly Belly Candy Company I monitor the factual information for the page. One or more individuals editing the page are removing legitimate external links, trademark symbols, and information within the company history that is creating a subjective viewpoint of the role of one individual in the development of the Jelly Belly® jelly bean. The Jelly Belly® jelly bean was not created solely by David Klein as stated in the recent edit "In 1976 David Klein, a candy and nut distributor, suggested using natural purees to flavor jelly beans leading to the development of today's Jelly Belly® jelly bean." It was a collaboration between Herman Rowland, Sr. (Chairman of the Company) and David Klein. The sentence should read "In 1976 Herman Rowland, Sr. collaborated with David Klein, a candy and nut distributor, who suggested using natural ingredients for jelly bean flavors leading to the development of today's Jelly Belly® jelly bean." Removing Herman Rowland, Sr. from the text is factually incorrect. Mnighbor (talk) 17:40, 13 April 2015 (UTC)mnighborReply

Conflict of interest edit

You very likely have a conflict of interest here, but you've been improving the article so OK. We do draw the line at promotional language, as well as repeatedly inserting service or trademark symbols. Those are not allowed in the text. So please don't add them again. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 23:25, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Is there a way to update the Jelly Belly Candy Company logo to the current/correct logo? Currently the logo posted on the Wiki page is the outdated/incorrect logo. The logo is available for use on the Jelly Belly Candy Company website to allow users to use it as needed when refering to the company for non-commericial purposes. If it cannot be updated is there a way to remove the outdate/incorrect logo? mnighbor

License tagging for File:Jelly Belly Candy Company Gift Shop.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Jelly Belly Candy Company Gift Shop.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Your conflict of interest regarding Jelly Belly edit

Hello Mnighbor,

Please read our policy Wikipedia:Conflict of interest carefully, and comply with all of its provisions in the future. Relevant passages include "COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. It undermines public confidence and risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and companies being promoted." and "you are very strongly discouraged from editing affected articles directly."

Please read our policy Wikipedia:Ownership of content, paying special attention to "a person or an organization that is the subject of an article does not own the article, and has no right to dictate what the article may say."

Please read our policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, especially the section Wikipedia is not a directory, paying special attention to #5 Sales catalogues and #7 Simple listings.

You must comply with all of these mandatory policies in the future. Stop editing the article directly and instead propose changes at Talk: Jelly Belly. I will be removing the product listings again. Do not revert my changes. Please also read the essay Wikipedia:Single-purpose account and take the advice given there to heart. Thank you for your cooperation going forward. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 16:31, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Do you have a suggestion to fix this issue? The product information on the page was added by various individuals. Product information is a key piece of information that is researched about the company. I see that individual wiki pages are created for individual candy products. Is this a common solution to include information about candy products that candy companies produce? In other words list the products on the Jelly Belly Wiki page with a link to a new Wiki page for each candy product. Mnighbor (talk) 17:46, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
The way to fix whatever issue you perceive is to comply with the policies I linked to. The proper place to discuss improvements to the main article is Talk:Jelly Belly. In some cases, separate articles about products may be appropriate, such as Fruit Gems, but I suggest that you run article ideas by experienced editors. I am not opposed to all product information in the article, but it must be neutral prose summarizing independent sources, not the company website.
This page (your user talk page) is for discussing your editing. The proper place to discuss article improvement is the article talk page. If you need specific help from an administrator, post on my talk page. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 21:52, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
