An ip address belonging to ogaming.com, 66.253.32.34, has been editing this article, removing information. Ogaming.com is registered to Brock Pierce. Wikipedia's stance on editing articles about oneself: "It is difficult to write neutrally about yourself. Therefore, it is considered proper on Wikipedia to let others do the writing. Instead, contribute material or make suggestions on the article's talk page and let independent editors write it into the article itself." Wikipedia:Autobiography
My edits were reversed for failing to mention them in the edit page. My apologies. On that note, though, the sourcing in this article does not support the references to sexual harassment allegations against the subject of this article. These are rather serious claims, and the only one of the three sources that even implies Pierce's involvement is a tabloid website. The others make no reference to Pierce in the context of sexual harassment allegations, other than to mention that they were denied by the company. These allegations simply do not belong in a encyclopedic article about an individual. The arrests in Spain, as well as the "fleeing" allegation, are also PoV, if not libelous.
- all the sources document them leaving the country and the new york post article is not only cited in the sentence, but says almost verbatim what is in the article (don't just rely on the summary). - Ocatecir 21:02, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- [1]: "The founders of flopcom Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) are still languishing in a Spanish jail, and investigators in the US are stepping up efforts to bring them home to face sex offence charges. DEN co-founders Marc Collins-Rector, Chad Shackley and Brock Pierce were arrested in June on an international warrant after being indicted in New Jersey on five counts of transporting a minor across state lines for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts." - Ocatecir 21:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I don't know how I missed the last citation, though it seems to me that it's the only one that supports the obviously central point of the sentence (which isn't that he left the United States, obviously). Good word and advice. Thanks. Groundworking 21:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Apparently Brock Pierce has left IGE - details a little unclear, but apparently its now owned by Jonathan Yantis, who was part of some company IGE bought. I also heard this from private sources in addition to the article linked below

Brock Pierce has left Affinity Media (The umbrella company around Zam and formerly around IGE). I violate the neutrality rule since I work for Affinity, so I'll post it here on the Talk page.

"Brock Pierce is a major shareholder in IGE" needs a more modern citation, since all of the affinity business has occurred since that article was written, and it is no longer apparent that he is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.47.183 (talk) 17:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
