[edit] Copyvio

It seems a lot of text was copied from this webpage and pasted here today. That is a copyright violation and the text will need to be removed as per Wikipedia policy. u p p l a n d 16:52, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I am now carrying out a revert job, so will be done within an hour, will let you know when its done. Willirennen 18:06, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Considered it done. Willirennen 18:10, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

I have no doubt that most of this article is correct, as I think I recognize some of the details from what I have seen in the Swedish papers (without ever following the case or previous stories on Eriksson and his partners), but the article really needs better referencing. u p p l a n d 14:11, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I added a whole bunch of cite neededs because some of the allegations are just so inflammatory that they need to be sourced, particularly the one claiming that he threatened a man with murder. Pat Payne 18:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

While cleaning up the grammar in the Gizmondo section, I came across a statement about Eriksson's partner being paid for her services by Gizmondo. I can't find anything in the SEC filings to back this up, and suspect whoever wrote it may have been confusing Carl Freer's wife here, as there are statements in the SEC filings that Anneli Freer received a similar amount of money for the same type of work. This is just one of many unreferenced statements in that section, but as Uppland said, most of the other statements do fit in generally with the background of the company and Eriksson as reported elsewhere. --Fugu Alienking (talk) 14:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copied

I think part of the Gizmondo section was directly copied from here. Can anyone think of a good way to rewrite it? I'm going to get rid of the word "conveniently" as it implies a POV (even though I do agree with said POV), but I can't really think of what else to change. -67.163.21.39 03:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Updates?

Is he serving time in jail now or is has been deported to Sweden or England? Anyone know?  ::Ruth_E

He'll be in jail about year, then he'll be deported. MikeWren 20:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heading job title

As quoting Eriksson is a Swedish businessman from Uppsala who ran the Gizmondo gaming company...

My reply to that quote is, a businessman who runs a company with an intention to embezzle money is a criminal, do anybody think calling him a criminal rather than a businessman would be appropriate even though if that takes the surprise out of the biography. What do you think? Should that be changed. Willirennen 17.53 7 November 2006 (UTC)

That does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point-of-View policy. Do not change it again. — OcatecirT 04:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it's worth having a look at this article for a lot of info on Stefan, gizmondo and the crash: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.10/gizmondo.html Copthill 09:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
