Working at Majestic

I've just seen this anonymous edit. Someone has an axe to grind here, and is attempting to persuade people not to consider working at Majestic. I don't know anything about their employment practices, or what it's like to work there. The claims are unproven and unreferenced, but this is a long edit. It's not just a simple piece of vandalism, someone definitely feels strongly over the issue. Nevertheless, Wikipedia is not the place for opinion and conjecture, and this required investigation.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian Moyes (talk • contribs) 21:24, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I am not so sure - I think some mention should be made of working practices at the company. I myself worked at Majestic - first at the Wimbledon Warehouse... [deleted part] Ivankinsman (talk) 07:36, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted a large part of Ivankinsman's text above due to WP:BLP concerns. Wikipedia is not a forum for voicing opinions about your former managers, even if they happen to be mentioned in an article. Tomas e (talk) 16:14, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The "working at majestic" section is very glossy, definitely WP:ADVERT for the company with no citations, nor is it written from a WP:NPOV. I've removed it for these reasons. Please don't re-add, and try to keep the article neutral, not a coatrack for company advertising. Additionally, personal observations about the company aren't terribly relevant, Wikipedia has a policy of no original research. tedder (talk) 14:03, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The whole "working at Majestic" section is simply not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 22:39, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm OK with this (it was not written by me) but leave in the Steve Lewis performance section. This is relevant to the company and is neutral in tone. This can only be removed if a valid reason is given for its removal. Ivankinsman (talk) 08:56, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(undenting) I removed the Steve Lewis content because it was unsourced and of dubious importance to an encyclopedic article about Majestic Wine. Have notable independent sources discussed those points? tedder (talk) 14:04, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. This section was unencyclopedic and lacked reliable sources. Tomas e (talk) 16:17, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Employment Practices at Majestic

I believe a section on this should eventually be included in the main article. The text below was written and then removed from the main article which is fine. However, it has to be included here to generate a discussion about employment at Majestic Wines, after which I will then write a section on this for the article. PLEASE NOTE: It is not permitted for an editor to remove this from the DISCUSSION PAGE (so does not require sources according to Wiki rules - an editor failed to understand this point)- no names are mentioned so it does not contravene bios. of any living people. It is pertinent to the article and has to be included to generate comments from other wiki contributors. Ivankinsman (talk) 07:49, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the section, because even on talk pages Wikipedia is not a WP:COATRACK or soapbox. Please don't re-add it. Perhaps you can work on it on your own computer, then re-add whatever sections can be sourced. Otherwise it's a rant/soapbox/coatrack. tedder (talk) 18:55, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
