Pyramid schemes article

Dear Millahnna,

First of all thank you for your time. I'm here writing because of the changes required on the article about pyramid schemes.

I really enjoy the article and it is well written in general. The only thing I was trying to change (and I apologize for my inexperience) is that from the article come out that Multilevel marketing appears like a pyramid scheme. That's not true because multilevel marketing is a legal business practice used by many companies around the world to market products and services in the free enterprise system, the same system that allows us to write on Wikipedia. And I believe is not good for the Wikipedia community to misrepresent and confuse the two of them. Pyramid schemes are Illegal and prosecuted by the law. Multilevel marketing is legal. So is incorrect to say "multilevel marketing plans are also been classified as pyramid schemes" based only on opinions of authors instead of what the law says.

If multilevel marketing was been classified as a pyramid scheme don't you think the law would have prohibited it?

And the other part I considered with no fundament is this "According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, many MLM schemes "simply use the product to hide their pyramid structure.".[31] the link number 31 lead to a 'page not found', so there are no more proof of what and if the U.S. Federal Trade and Commission said.

I really appreciate your time to read my request of help and I wish you a wonderful day.

Michele Fadda — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike.pieve (talk • contribs) 02:48, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Not all MLMs are classified as Pyramid schemes. The text you are removing does not claim that all are, only that MLM is a method which many pyramid schemes use to camouflage their nature. I don't regularly watch that page and only stumbled onto your edit doing recent changes patrolling. I'll have to take a look at the dead link you found and see if I can find it archived.

Thank you for your feedback and for making Wikipedia better, however if you do not like off site links and detailed information, let me know instead of undoing my labor.

You're Next summary

Hey there! I saw your edit summary, and since I'm extremely forgetful, I was wondering if you remember any specific plot sections we've worked on before, because I can't :P Corvoe (speak to me) 12:39, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

I don't recall specifics anymore, I just know that this isn't the first time I've seen us both poking at a plot in a short time span on an article that's not summer blockbuster busy. I want to say the first time I noticed was a couple of years ago but I tend to drift in and out of the site in a way that makes timelines on that sort of thing a bit fuzzy. Millahnna (talk) 12:53, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

That's understandable, I'm the same way. I've made a deal with myself that I'll only ever work on two summer blockbusters at a time. It works wonders for my mental sanity, let me tell you. Godzilla and X-Men, then Godzilla was replaced by Edge of Tomorrow, then X-Men will be replaced by Guardians of the Galaxy etc. But I always like improving the articles for "older" films I love. I'm wanting to get You're Next, along with The Cabin in the Woods, to GA, because I love those films. Corvoe (speak to me) 13:21, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Organic food

i noticed that you flagged 8 links on Organic food as being dead links. Have you ever considered the use of the WayBackMachine to check if pages are already archived? The Banner talk 11:47, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

A few of them hadn't been spidered. I didn't have a chance to check all as I was doing it on the fly. I can do it from within the reflinks tool I was using, though. Millahnna (talk) 18:23, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Gunspotter

Is this your gunspotter? If not, looks like we've got another on our hands. Luckily, he seems to restrict his gunspotting mostly to The Walking Dead, where another IP user has been reverting him. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:37, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

that's the same guy. I've had him bookmarked for 5 years. He just came off a three month block for it actually. I'm without regular Internet. Can you take home to aiv or the mood who blocked him before? Detailed sic on my tablet is hard. Millahnna (talk) 02:50, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

I lost access to the internet and then got distracted by other stuff. I'll take care of that now. It looks like he's not going to stop. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:45, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Release dates for The Raid: Redemption

I'm sorry. Those release dates are still put in the wrong way for The Raid: Redemption. It only goes by month/date/year, and that's how it works. No need to ask me anything, it needs to be fixed right away. Skylar3214 9:27, 11 July 2014

Hi

I also agree with you on the need for sources. What do you think of this one to start with?[1]69.165.246.181 (talk) 01:36, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

At a glance that looks interesting for the Farscape article (will have to take time to read in depth later). Did you have something specific in mind? Millahnna (talk) 02:24, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Just to add the fantasy label. I agree with you it needs to be sourced. Though it technically passes the wp:duck test, I'd agree it requires some reliable sources and that was one I wanted to discuss with you 69.165.246.181 (talk) 04:04, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Aha! I didn't realize you were my Farscape as Science Fiction Fantasy IP. Let me take a closer look and dig around and see what else I can find. I've actually been thinking about this in the back of my mind since I first ran into you on the article. Millahnna (talk) 09:33, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

No prob. Take your time and message me on my talkpage since I may forget to check back. TL. 69.165.246.181 (talk) 02:41, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Have you found anything yet? How about we discuss it on the article's talkpage?69.165.246.181 (talk) 05:58, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I'm temporarily without a regular internet connection so I've been nerding on my tablet while borrowing wifi at McDonalds for the last week. It means it's hard for me to get into research mode so all of my edits have been recent changes patrol. Please do bring it up at the article's talk page; I know there's some folks that watch that page that would be able to help look into it. Millahnna (talk) 04:03, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

For the time being it may not be possible for me either for reasons of my own. I'll bring it up in the coming months and then message you on it when I have. Hope that's okay. Regards69.165.246.181 (talk) 01:23, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
