I am concerned that most of the edits on this page in late 2015 and 2016 appear to be have been made by user Since1863 [1] which appears to no longer exist. It appears on first glance that this user is related to the subject of this article (The Frye Company was reportedly founded in 1863). I think editors should read through edits in late 2015 and 2016 to carefully see if there are unusually biased wording or statements. Most of the article is not clearly sourced and verifiable anyway, but I think extra scrutiny might be in order. I am willing to do the work in the next few days as time permits. I just wanted an entry here so others would know why I added the POV template to the page. Oswald Glinkmeyer (talk) 14:37, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like user PingreePark [2] attempted a cleanup on December 25, 2015. I have reviewed January changes made by user Since1863, and it appears they are mainly related to changing the image from a photo of boots to the Frye Company logo. I am leaving it as-is, and removing the POV template. That said, it is still lacking any third-party sources, and probably could be completely re-written to be less PR-like.Oswald Glinkmeyer (talk) 17:34, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
