We are happy and honored to be the oldest movie company in America.
I don't see why a company is surprised that there are sarcastic comments about its presentation of its view of the world when that company plays such silly games as suggesting that having been dormant for 70 years and then using the same brand name gives some claim to fame that they were the last company to convert to sound. The repetition of self-congratulatory puff pieces is exactly the sort of thing that brings Wikipedia into disrepute and is why the conflict of interest policy is required.
By all means put all the fantasy advertising exaggerations and distortions on your own web site, but don't be surprised that you get called on it. You don't seem to like Walloon because he is quite rightly questioning the validity of the company's claims, and when you called him on it, he produced some pretty good research to back up his position.
I'm pretty sure that WR members are independent thinkers and are not your supporters just because we have concerns about the operation of WP.

This is very amusing how you over at Wikipedia (Not WR) enjoy invading WR and telling the people at WR the way they think! Bravo! We have no problem with sarcastic comments, or even your agenda of opinions, as long as it stays "Opinions". In this case, "Wikipedia" is stating this as verifiable "Fact". This we have a problem with. Denying all of the references positive about the company, and only including negative is complete bias and agenda driven. Also, why do you have a grudge againt this company? What is your hidden agenda? If you need to question any validity of ours, you are welcome to e-mail our legal represenative (NO - THIS IS NOT A LEGAL SUIT THREAT) for they represent us as an agent to an actor. Any questions you have can be verified.
On self-congradulatory, it shows you need to do your research a little better. We are not only documented, but recognized by others far more reputable than an amateur editors at Wikipedia.... Who is Walloon? What are his qualifications? What is his or her "Reputable background"? As I stated before, you hide behind the PC world to dish out barbs and insults, for it is safe. We are out in the open. Our contact information and references are there to be seen. Come out and play... No, you stay in the shadows. Again, I go back to our original statement, which you could not respond to, except for in a hostile and insulting way. That is your opinion, that is your freedom.
