Typical distortion. I notice they are associating the legal threats as coming from WR proper, but we are not an organization with the ability to file lawsuits as a group, but rather a message board in which many people from diverse groups can post...
I know! Do they think we're forming a corporation or something? It's ludicrous. (But hardly surprising...)
Besides, their definition of "legal threat" pretty much means anything in which the word "legal" is included in a sentence. Pointing out legislation that might affect the content of an article is a "legal threat." Vaguely noting that the foundation
might be sued for libelous content is a "legal threat." The entire WP:NLT policy is just a blinkering mechanism that lets them pretend that nothing they do ever has consequences. That, too, is ludicrous.

In the part of the Wikipedia article about your company, what is incorrect or slanderous?
Looks like much of the dispute was over the relationship of the modern company with the original...? The WP folks would probably have treated them much better if they'd named it "The American Mutant Biology Company" instead. (IMG:

By the way, welcome to the forum, Toledo! We were

You are absolutely right. There are no "Legal threats"at Wikipedia. We are investigating legal recourse in defense of biased information, to proctect our company name as any corporation would, that is all.

On "Building" a studio lot, no such thing is intended. It was to own land on the moon as a "Lot" as in "Lot" of land. This is where the remote camera would be, just to clarify.
Going through the link provided in the Wikipedia article, this is what the
press release from the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company said on July 2, 2003:

Biograph Studios establishes first movie lot on the Moon
HOLLYWOOD -- A Hollywood movie production company has established the first movie lot on the moon. Thomas R. Bond, II President and CEO of the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company (Better known as Biograph) received nearly 2000 acres of lunar real estate and plans to use it as the first lunar lot
Biograph Moon Lot 1776.58 Acres
Latitude 30 Longitude 10
The land was obtained from Hope Enterprises, a company that deals in lunar real estate, and at the end of 2003, Biograph will launch a marker aboard a commercial spacecraft, and place it on its lunar lot. Next year they also plan send a digital film camera at the site to send moving pictures back to Earth that can be used in feature films and commercial production.
Biograph is also known for being the oldest movie company in America, and having made the first movie in Hollywood back in 1910. The company is now making history again.
Bond says Biograph also plans sending a film crew to film the first documentary on the moon in five years. Bond adds "With all the problems in the world we need to look to space again to bring the world together".
yes, that is correct. Lunar lot, not building. open land that we claim a right to. notice i said "Claim". yes, we do one day intentend to have a crew filming a documentary on the moon. It is a big dream and yes it can happen. but you must understand, they are not just using this. They are using everything we do or try to do to discredit us by distorting facts, even the company reputation.
