"People also ask" on Google

For the search "Cutco Scam", one of the questions: "Is vector Cutco a pyramid scheme?" Links to this page, but only pulls this paragraph.

"Vector claims they are a single-level direct selling marketing company, not a multi-level marketing company, and **they are not a pyramid scheme** as its detractors claim."

double asterisk indicates the bold sentence.

It is unknown if this was intentionally edited this way to manipulate the Google searches, but it should be investigated. 135.180.154.77 (talk) 05:29, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We don't control how Google pulls and shows results. But no, that wasn't written with Google's searches in mind. In fact, I can't think of any part of Wikipedia designed with Google in mind. I'm not sure what you'd suggest we change? CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 06:00, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Not a pyramid scheme"

The final sentence of the lead ("Vector claims they are a single-level direct selling marketing company, not a multi-level marketing company, and they are not a pyramid scheme as its detractors claim.") seems a little confusing and perhaps should be clarified. It's not clear if the final clause ("and they are not a pyramid scheme as its detractors claim") is being attributed to Vector or not. I assume that it is. In that case, a better version might read "Vector claims that they are a single-level direct selling marketing company, not a multi-level marketing company or pyramid scheme as its detractors claim.) I didn't just make the edit because this topic seems contentious and I might be misinterpreting something. Erranna (talk) 21:23, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Erranna Done, good suggestion. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 02:49, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CaptainEek Thank you! Erranna (talk) 16:41, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I accidentally published without explanation

I just accidentally published an edit removing a sentence which was repeated twice, the sentence ‘The company has been the subject of criticism and lawsuits for its business practices, and has been accused of being a multi-level marketing company.’ Was previously repeated two times, I removed the first one, sorry for not providing a description.

@Tyjl34 No worries, thanks for doing that. Vpab15 (talk) 22:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
