Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

I'm sorry - I was simply trying to remove the incorrect information. I am a 28 year employee of Savannah's Candy Kitchen and was making changes based on the request of Tonya Strickland (owner of Savannah's Candy Kitchen). The majority of the information contained there refers to the Franchise business which is Savannah's Candy Kitchen-River Street Sweets. It all seems to be based on the Forbes article about the Franchise. Savannah's Candy Kitchen is owned by Stan Strickland, Tonya Strickland and Rhett Strickland. If we are unable to have the information corrected then we would prefer the page just be taken down. Melinduh45 (talk) 13:42, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to ask. Are you someone associated with Savannah's Candy Kitchen or River Street Sweets or are you a paid contributor for wikipedia? Melinduh45 (talk) 15:14, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, no connection other than being a customer a few years ago. We have to use the sources available, not “what she said.” Conflict of interest is also at play here. Seasider53 (talk) 21:57, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please give us a call. You are more then welcome to get the information from the source. Our office is 912-23Candy or if you would like to call one of the 800 numbers linked in your available sources - we would be happy to speak with you. You have information on three different businesses piled into one under Savannah's Candy Kitchen. The information you have is not correct as it applies specifically to Savannah's Candy Kitchen.

Wikipedia

is an encyclopedia. "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." Wikipedia has no interest in content added by the subjects of articles or their hirelings. Because of your conflict of interest, you will not edit the article directly. You will need to discuss content and sourcing on the article talk page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:19, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first pages you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that page.

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you've had a new article rejected or deleted, new article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.
