I would like to add "Walloon" and Willbeback" as well as "DTobias" who actually threatened me in a harmful way in writing. You can read the scathing discussion on the article about our company at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:American...mpany/archive_1

We even reported these individuals to federal authorities it got so bad.

Thanks!

It looks to me like you were threatening people with a lawsuit so that they'd let you write the article how you wished.

Hmm, I'd like to see the WP:COI and WP:V interpretation for the self-reference to their own website that asserts they are going to start filming on the moon - in 2008. Come on, NASA can barely get the space shuttle into orbit and back, let alone send all the caterers required for a proper film shoot all that way.

One note I will leave, since I will not be replying to any other unusual postings. We are happy to be Biograph Company. We are happy and honored to be the oldest movie company in America. We are happy that we are recognized by legitimate organizations, publications, government credentials, and awards. It is very sad that the only "Small" world that enjoys falsehoods, vengence and yellow journalism is "Wikipedia" and that most of the unqualified editors without merit or background enjoy boasting of themselves while hurting others. It takes really "Big" people to do this. In essence, it is not "Defending" or "Rebuttal" but a battle that I do not want a part of. It is also very pathetic that individuals have nothing better to do with thier time than to build false credentials of being "Editors" out of thier basements or bedrooms, when they cannot accomplish anything in the "Real" world. "Wikipedia" will continue on its course, and many will follow with the attitude of descent. But it is not just irony that these poor individuals are harming themselves by harming others, but that they are not even aware of the harm they commit to themselves.

We do thank all of our supporters at WR keep up the good work.

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.
