Category

Market America employs a binary compensation plan, which is a type of compensation plan in multi-level marketing. Whilst it is not incorrect to say Market America is a Direct Selling company, for categorization purposes, MLM companies is a subset of Direct selling companies, and thus per WP:SUBCAT, is the correct category for this article.  Leef5   18:07, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Policies

The Market America company wikipedia page was recently stamped with breaking policies such as neutral point of view. Is there anyway I can get someone to edit my page so that it doesn't sound like I'm advertising this company? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjchipol (talk • contribs) 14:31, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Hopefully some more editors will come by and make some of the wording more neutral. There is quite a bit of content that contains puffery, and could be construed as promotional in nature. What is your position with the company? Do you work for them, or are an independent representative for them? If you do have a personal affiliation with this company, I may suggest reading WP:COI#Declaring an interest if this applies to you.
One more thing - the "controversy" section should be integrated into the text at the appropriate places per WP:NPOV#Article structure  Leef5   14:49, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
