"People also ask" on Google
[edit]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)
- 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)
"Not a pyramid scheme"
[edit]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)

I accidentally published without explanation
[edit]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.
