Section: Controversy Subsection: Amway India (Andhra Pradesh and Kerala)

"On 1 November 2011, major distributors in Kerala decided to leave Amway and join Monavie.[96]"

If the article is about Amway and the section is about "Controversy" how does Monavie figure in? Is this an attempt to promote Monavie which is launching in India? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.60.139.47 (talk) 03:52, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Complete POV Article

You pathetic Wiki Marxists, there's more about Amway's rightwing contributions than the business itself. Baised freaks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.202.129.170 (talk) 16:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

To Do List

Here's a list of things that need doing on this article -

• Describe the business model more fully, with sources of course!.
• Add info on major Amway "support" groups
• Create articles on independently notable Amway subsidiaries- eg Amway China, Amway Japan, Amway South Korea, Amway North America, #5?
• Include some copyright free images for the article
• Clean up "politics & culture" section, include any notable issues inline at relevant section.
• Add historical corporate sales data
• Distribute "controversy" content into relevant sections for better flow of writing and neutrality
• Add info on Amway incentive trips, which appears to receive a lot of coverage

I disagree with distributing the controversy material outside the controversy section. I think it leads to choppy reading and makes the whole article sound like a debate. Just as if I'm looking for information on "philanthropy", if I'm looking for information on "controversies" I don't want to have to read every paragraph to find it all.

Source Repository

I'm compiling a list of RS sources here - User:Icerat/Amway_-_references --Icerat (talk) 12:34, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Added another couple of dozen, mostly foreign language, sources to the May 2011 references to the source repository. As per above quite a bit of coverage of an Amway India incentive trip to the Alps. Last year and earlier this year was a lot of coverage of Amway China trips to Australia --Icerat (talk) 12:34, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Global markets section

@Rhode Island Red, thanks for your work on the section about China. Do you have a source for your addition of the information about Amway China disallowing doctors, teachers et cetera from becoming Amway distributors? It is unclear if it is a policy of Amway China or the Chinese government[1]Octopet (talk) 17:09, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Sure, NP. It was government policy, not Amway policy. It was mentioned in one of the articles you cited.[2] Rhode Island Red (talk) 19:29, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. I've made a small edit to clarify that sentence.Octopet (talk) 01:03, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

1998 Amway riots in China: cause or result?

Superficial googling leads to old news stories which say that the riots in China broke out due to the ban on direct marketing. This article says something opposite: that some riots broke out due to direct marketing abuses and then the government stepped in with bans.24.85.131.247 (talk) 06:47, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
