Talk:Dwell (retailer)

Edits by people associated with this company

The following was dumped on my talkpage:

Hi, I noticed you edited the Dwell retail page, to downgrade the company's status from 20 stores to 19. Please explain this to me; write to john_secure@yahoo.com. Please do not make further libelous edits to the Dwell (retailer). Dwell is a company and you must not make false edits to it's page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.64.222 (talk) 00:43, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your message, but can I please refer you to the rules of wikipedia, WP:AGF. I edited the article down from a piece of spam, to something which could pass for a suitable entry to an encyclopedia. The number of stores at that point according to teh companies website was 19 - hence the downgrade. The article still lacks inline references (the tag for which I note that you removed), and without such could therefore be subject to removal. As I assume you are associated with the company, please note your association on the articles talkpage under WP:BIAS, and add suitable inline references which back up the claims you have added.

COI conflict: edits by 81.100.64.222

In my opinion, this article either does not verifiably satisfy the Notability criteria for Organizations and companies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.

Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of third-party sources in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones, or self-published sources) suggests to some editors that multiple independent reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.

Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User:81.100.64.222 (talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make some constructive improvements to it … I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

To better understand why I have used this template, please read Flag templates for deletion warnings … I realize that some of the expressed possible concerns may not be appropriate in this case. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 19:37, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Headquarters

Does anybody have a reliable, preferably secondary, source for dwell's HQ? I can find a job posting that mentions the Oxford Circus, London, head office, but I've yet to find anything more definitive. —C.Fred (talk) 17:21, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind, I found it myself in Bloomberg Businessweek. —C.Fred (talk) 17:28, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

References

Please note vandalism by Trident13 who keeps saying this article lacks inline references... At present nearly every line of the short article is an inline reference. There are not many more inline references you can shoehorn into the article. There are at least five inline references. The article has inline references. How much more clear can this point be? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.64.222 (talk) 16:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Neutrality

This article has been tagged for some time as containing non neutral content. The only user to tag it as such is Trident13, who must see some such content within the article. I propose we remove the tag as all the article content is neutral. In order to make a better article, might user Trident13 step forward and give an example of those parts of the article which demonstrate bias, and those segments may be debated here.

The tag was applied in light of the edits by both 81.100.64.222 and Jsecure, who have highly similar edit record and positions with regards this article. Can you please state your relationship to the retailer Jsecure for clarity? Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 01:29, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I cite my right to privacy and decline your request. However, if you find that a part of the Dwell Retail article is biased, please cite it here and it can be debated. Otherwise, please remove the tag.Jsecure (talk) 01:44, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I do not see any slanted text in the article, and I do not see a pattern in Jsecure's edits that suggests he has a conflict. In the absence of specific concerns from Trident13, I'm willing to remove the tag. —C.Fred (talk) 01:56, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

C.Fred, what is the protocol here... Do we wait a few days for specific concerns? Does an admin have to drop the tag? By all means if there is any bias I'm happy to help clean it up, but as you say, I don't think the claim of bias is relevantJsecure (talk) 23:06, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

List of stores

The most recent list I can find is the Yorkshire Post, which mentions 23 stores and one concession but only lists 23. The Dwell website won't open and the most recent archive.org copy of the website lists Staples Corner (missing from the Yorkshire Post list) but says the Reading store is in House of Fraser. I've removed the number of stores from the lead section - should the most recent or highest number go in, or neither? Peter James (talk) 21:17, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
