[edit] copyvio?

I don't see this as a copyvio myself, so have reverted for now. Please comment here on how this is a copyvio. Thanks. Guinness 13:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removed quotes

I removed the section of "representative quotes" from the movie. I didn't think they fit the article and they would belong better on Wikiquote. - furrykef (Talk at me) 00:42, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

I reverted the removal. I see lots of these types of quotes for movie and other fiction related pages. It is not at all unusual. -- JJay 00:47, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the removal. The quotes are useless out of context... --Rehcsif 15:25, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I've pared down the quotes, amongst some other shuffling-around. Many of them weren't really "representative" at all and a couple were badly misquoted. Geoff NoNick 14:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First paragraph needs to be toned down

The first paragraph is absurdly biased regarding the author's obviously dim view towards the corporate world.

"Absurdly biased"? I really don't think so. Let it stand as is.

Not absudly biased. But it is still biased. "excellent representation...". This is Wikipedia, keep it neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.235.13 (talk) 13:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

There was a good list of Gekko's quotes. It is erased. Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.202.196.72 (talk) 15:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
