[edit] Reverted edits

The recent edits I reverted appear to have been added by someone from BCO (Harry & David). If you are wondering why I reverted these edits, please read about conflict of interest, ownership of articles, what Wikipedia is not (for example it's not here to provide companies with free advertising space), and about copyright violations, for example the text and images that were directly copied and pasted from the company website. If you have any questions after reading these, please ask them on this talk page. Thanks! Katr67 19:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Most of the information added was verifiable (as long as the company's own website is verifiable), but a bit "Fatty". The history of the company is (IMHO) fairly interesting, but the old edit was lifted from the H&D website. I will try to come back at some point and seperate the fact from the opinion, but if someone beats me to it, feel free! Mechroneal 20:45, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the company history is interesting and a notable part of Oregon and Medford history as well, it just needs to be written in someone's own words and hopefully have some sources added from outside the corporate website. Thanks for considering working on it! Katr67 21:11, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
