@ Lbelfor: Greetings! There's a lot of great material. There are a few things I would change before I pushed this live:
Once you've made these changes, you should go ahead and move this article into the article namespace. If you want to take a look at again, feel free to leave a message on my talk page! — mako ๛ 00:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I have been peer reviewing your article and I really like it. I didn't find any big edits I need to make, but I added one more category for your article. You mentioned "minimalist design" at the beginning, so I think you can give more explanation about their design because I think design is one of the reason why Everlane is popular. I like your article. LiangShuang97 ( talk) 04:33, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
I've gone and given this article and major cleanup as per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Special note: advertising and promotion. I removed improperly sourced material, a copyright violation, a false source, improper self-sourcing, blatantly non-neutral wording, and non-encyclopedic coverage. In the above "Feedback" thread, the course instructor gave some very good advice about what needs to be done to this article before it should be moved to article space. The instructor noted many of the issues I just mentioned. Unfortunately, they were not properly addressed before the student decided to move the draft to mainspace from their sandbox. We ended up with an article that serves mainly as a promotion. I find that particularly disappointing in this case because of the nature of the course and that many of the students express interest in online marketing. I don't know the details of Wiki Ed courses but perhaps the instructor should tell the student that they should wait until they are given a green light before moving the article, or the instructor themselves should be the one to do it rather than letting the student decide when the article should become active. Since an instructor should assume responsibility for the work of students under their direction, it would be good if the instructor could take a more active role in curating the content created from their course; lackluster oversight ends up costing the volunteer editing community their time and effort. I also suggest student reviewers be much more critical in their reviews (aka critiques) in the future.
I have tagged the article with a notability banner. I would be good to see more of the primary criteria for companies given at the above notability guideline be clearly satisfied. Jason Quinn ( talk) 08:36, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
I re-tagged the article with a notability warning. It's a clothing store, people. Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a business directory. Chisme ( talk) 16:56, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
@ Nishaa19: is a new Wikipedia editor and a student in my wikiedu class. Her changes to the article were reverted by @ Chisme:, who also removed some other content from the article. Chisme seems to think that this content is simply advertising, but I disagree. Nishaa19 is trying to add well sourced information about Everlane's brand and business model, not to advertise for the brand. Of course there is room to make the content she added more encyclopedic and maybe it could be organized better or consolidated, but (in my biased opinion) I don't think reverting good-faith changes wholesale without making an effort to incorporate the good information is the way to treat new editors.

@ Groceryheist:@ Yngvadottir: @ Nishaa19:I think we can agree that the "Choose What You Pay" section has to go. This section is a description of a company's after-Christmas sales promotion. Of the six citations in "Choose What You Pay," five come from the same source -- a Racked.com article from the year 2015. The 2015 Racked.com article reads, "For the next five days, the retailer is letting shoppers choose..." So the promotion was on for five days in 2015, but it gets a paragraph in Wikipedia in 2019. Touting a sales promotion campaign in an encyclopedia is bad enough; it's worse when the campaign is five years dead and gone. Professor, if you don't mind my saying, your students need to pay closer attention to a source's date. Outdated sources have no validity. Chisme ( talk) 00:06, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
@ Chisme:@ Yngvadottir: Hello. Thank you all so much for the feedback about my addition to the article. I will look over your feedback and edit the article in the next few days and try to find an article that supports the "Choose What You Pay" model. If I fail to find such article, I will delete the section per your request. I will work on the encyclopaedic tone of the article and take all your suggestions into consideration. I will try my best to summarise the added material within the existing section on the company's history. Nishaa19 ( talk) 20:41, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
I just placed an order and accidentally hit express shipping for $19.95. I do not want to pay for shipping. My order number: r634884583 Please correct. Thank you, Mary Beth Goelzet 65.28.166.75 ( talk) 16:07, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
