I believe you have made a mistake in taking down my changes. I am the Marketing Director for Ron Jon Surf Shop and updated the page to remove a number of errors and outdated information that was on the page. I'm not sure how to list myself or the company as a reliable source. If you need to verify my identity you can reach me at heatherl@rjss.com. Thank you.

Again I believe you have made a mistake in taking down my changes. I am the Marketing Director for Ron Jon Surf Shop and updated the page to remove a number of errors and outdated information that was on the page. I'm not sure how to list myself or the company as a reliable source. If you need to verify my identity you can reach me at heatherl@rjss.com. Can you please restore the changes that I made to the page in June 2022 and I will go through and try to add resources through our website and media outlets. Thank you.

Nevermind. I made updated changes and added cites to sources. HLewisRJ (talk) 18:03, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

A number of issues here:

1. You are considered to be a paid editor by Wikipedia policy, and therefore it is mandatory for you to display this fact visibly, preferably on your userpage (User:HLewisRJ ) with the {{paid}} template.
2. You should not be editing this article directly at all, as this is an inherent conflict of interest. You should instead submit edit requests on the article talk page.
3. We are unconcerned with what a company wishes to say about itself. Apart from basic facts and figures, company-authored sources are deemed to be of little value. We value what has been written about this company in reliable sources that have no financial interest in the company.
4. Subjective language that is meant to impart emotional responses is unacceptable (e.g. "The coolest and most recognized sticker on the planet!" or "Ron Jon Beach 'n Boards Fest is the nation's premiere active lifestyle Spring Break destination"). Wikipedia articles are supposed to be plainly factual and written from a neutral point of view, as if narrated by a disinterested third party.
