AstroTurf misinformation

I am trademark counsel for the current owners of the ASTROTURF marks and the associate goodwill for such marks around the world, and the information as posted on the "AstroTurf" Wiki page was incorrect. I have repeatedly endeavored to correct the inaccuracies and improper uses of the term "Astroturf," but someone keeps changing my edits back to the prior text. I would encourage the person(s) who keeps removing/changing my edits to stop so that we do not have to consider other options for correcting the "AstroTurf" Wiki page. Thank you.

I don't see why Wikipedia has an obligation to follow anyone's preferred use of the term "Astroturf". If by "other options" you are referring to legal action, I would encourage you to read Wikipedia's related policy Wikipedia:No legal threats. Also, you should probably have a look at Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. If you have concerns about the content of the AstroTurf article, please discuss those concerns on the article's talk page: Talk:AstroTurf. Gnome de plume (talk) 18:03, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
