Modern.Jewelry.Historian, you continue to make edits that state that Richemont's only goal in the Mimi So investment was the international expansion of Mimi So. However, Karimzadeh, writing in Women's Wear Daily in 2004, provides direct quotes from a Richemont executive that say:
"Richemont believes Mimi brings a unique design perspective to the luxury industry," said Ed McQuigg, group vice president of marketing for Richemont. "We are confident her philosophy and unparalleled talent will translate into significant brand expansion both domestically and internationally for Mimi So." (I added the bold.)
AND
"We are confident with the backing of Richemont, Mimi So will grow at both retail and wholesale," McQuigg said.
These quotes clearly don't support your assertion. Why are you so insistent of your viewpoint, even in the face of contradictory evidence from a reputable source? Please help me understand. 71.212.89.17 ( talk) 02:47, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
What I propose: "Richemont acquired a minority stake in the New York-based jewelry brand of Mimi So in 2004 with a plan to expand domestically and internationally.[23][24] In 2007, Richemont requested to become the majority partner, but So declined. She purchased Richemont's stake in the company.[25"]-- Modern.Jewelry.Historian ( talk) 03:26, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
BTW include the quote if you feel it is relevant, I was just undoing your undo, not hiding some torrid secret you uncovered!-- Modern.Jewelry.Historian ( talk) 03:58, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
Repeatedly addressing an ip as a paid editor is not acceptable. If you wish, take the issue to the CoI noticeboard; that would be quite appropriate. I'll continue watching this article from this moment onward to keep a tab on the interactions. Please contact me directly on my talk page for any assistance. Thanks.

While dispute resolution is a good place to start when facing editing disputes, my understanding is that the issues out here can be managed with talk page discussions. I can clearly understand the differences of opinion and if the editors require, can sort them out line by line/issue by issue. If you wish my views on editing issues, I'll suggest taking each issue sequentially below this message. I'm perfectly okay if you decide to sort it out yourself too. Kind regards.

Re Mimi So, there are a several interesting facts we can consider adding to Richemont. Obviously the mention needs to be concise and facts special to be included here, rather than restricting to Mimi So.
IP was very interested in mentioning expectations, and both "retail and wholesale", "international and domestic" and concluding with "ending the relationship", each of which I consider a distinction without a difference.
One length-appropriate proposal is:
I am open to all suggestions, even from IP. -- Modern.Jewelry.Historian ( talk) 13:05, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
