Andrew H. Wheeler
Hello, and thank you for your recent contributions. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit(s) because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! 🍺 Antiqueight confer 20:01, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your quick review and response to our suggestions for the Coffee page. As a hopefully helpful point of information, the fruit of the coffee plant is technically a cherry or drupe, not a berry. “CoffeeBerry®” is a trademarked term suggestive of a line of products derived from whole coffee cherries. FutureCeuticals is the exclusive owner of the common law trademark rights and federal trademark registrations for the coined trademark COFFEEBERRY® for these goods. (U.S. Trademark Reg. Nos. 3,165,945; 3,163,412; 3,155,230; 3,555,231; 3,555,232; 3,420,510; 3,160,267; 3,646,701; and 3,643,304.)
In order to avoid confusion regarding use of the term CoffeeBerry® and characterization of the fruit, we politely request that you reconsider our suggestions and reinstate our changes.

Your recent edits to Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Coffee could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution without mentioning or discussing any legal claims which you may have. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. I am going to refrain from reporting this to an administrator for possible blocking (which does not mean that someone else will not do so), but if you mention your alleged trademark rights again I will not refrain from doing so. Please see the recommendations which I made at DRN, linked above, for how to go about asserting your claim in a proper fashion (namely, by email to the Wikimedia foundation legal team at legal@wikimedia.org).

Thanks for the direction. New to this process. There is no intent to take legal action. I only wish the incorrect use of the term coffee berry to be rectified on the coffee page.Andrew H. Wheeler (talk) 18:07, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
