[edit] Original Research

A significant portion of this article appears to violate WP:COS. This appearance is due to one of the actors quoted in the article (Laser Haas) and a Wikipedia user of the same name have made significant contributions to the article. --SilverhandTalk 16:01, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Effort to Cover up the Truth

It is imperative that the Truth not be hindered.

If it makes everyone happy, there is much corroborative evidence out there. such as www.wjfa.net/bk/etoys.html and more.

Also, if it serves the purpose, I can put the a statement up, affirming the items Testifying to such "under penalty of perjury"....as I have done many times before.

There is nothing on the report here as seems to have been edited by many parties, that is not Factual..

Please stick to the initial decision and keep the recent edit

that is not mine,  up there


The Truth should never be silenced

  • I'm not saying your edits are not truthful. What I'm saying is that as a first person to the issue, it causes a conflict of interest. That's the whole point behind WP:COS. Have you actually read the policy? Do you actually understand it? I have to wonder, because your response leads me to believe you haven't read it or you don't understand it. It's a matter of simply avoiding conflict of interest. Further, the original RfD was concerning notability, not conflict of interest. It was agreed the history behind eToys.com was notable and as such, it was kept. I'm not debating that because I agree it is notable. Please actually read and understand something before you reply. If you don't understand, ask probing questions. It'll prevent you from becoming a victim of the old addage "It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it." --SilverhandTalk 15:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article cleanup

I removed most of the middle of the article, which was given over to an extended and extraneous discussion of the details of various lawsuits following on the failure of the original eToys enterprise. I did so for several reasons - first, the discussion was disproportionate to the article as a whole. Second, the material appears to have been entered by a participant in those proceedings, without concern for the guidance found at WP:COI. Third, the material appeared to be contrary to the principles of both WP:NPOV and WP:SOAPBOX. There may be other reasons to object to it as well, but those are all that come immediately to mind.

These edits restore the page to its approximate state prior to August 6, 2007. JohnInDC (talk) 16:17, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
