I am not sure you are even reading these notes. All of the information that you seem to be trying to add to the article could clearly be in addition to the sourced founder information. The fact that you are taking great pains to remove it seems to be indicating that you are editing with an agenda. Please consider very carefully your next edits before you do them. Thanks.

I just read your post to me. The article is just plain wrong, and i'm trying to correct that with a link to a page that verfies the new info?

Why would someone add correct information to incorrect information?


 * In what way is it wrong? Am I misreading this source?  It says that the founder was Mr Giglio. Syrthiss (talk) 14:37, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

yeah, that pr is wrong as you will see in this corporate filing that makes no mention of giglio: http://google.brand.edgar-online.com/EFX_dll/EDGARpro.dll?FetchFilingHtmlSection1?SectionID=805382-92031-93231&SessionID=RhwGF6k4G-M

The original founder sold it to NetGain, who then sold it to Giglio in 2002, who then sold it to Tribune Company.

Sorry, let me post that URL again: http://google.brand.edgar-online.com/EFX_dll/EDGARpro.dll?FetchFilingHtmlSection1?SectionID=805382-92031-93231&SessionID=RhwGF6k4G-MhYl7 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arbobc (talk • contribs) 14:49, 16 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmm, you are kind of entering into the realm of original research (well, asking me to). The other source here also mentions Mr Giglio as the founder and gives a 1997 date.  The filing that you linked earlier (and again above) does mention Mr. Typaldos as the CEO of the group that purchased it, but given two sources that seem to agree I have a hard time agreeing that Mr Giglio cannot be listed on the article.  That doesn't say that Mr. Typaldos cannot also be named (based on your source), but we can only cite what we see in sources.  Does that make sense? Syrthiss (talk) 14:53, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, but there's also this: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903341404576484352486553740.html

I guess your solution works for the time being. I'll try to find more info in the meantime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arbobc (talk • contribs) 15:45, 16 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Sadly, I cannot view the content behind the WSJ paywall. Thanks for working to resolve this with me. Syrthiss (talk) 15:52, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

No changes have been made to the article, which is completely wrong on two major points: the site wasn't founded by Giglio and it wasn't founded in 1999.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arbobc (talk • contribs) 17:28, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Or you can simply google "colby sambrotto & founder" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arbobc (talk • contribs) 17:55, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure you're getting these messages--should i change the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arbobc (talk • contribs) 17:20, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I had not been getting them. The best way to communicate with me and make sure I see messages is at User talk:Syrthiss.  That way, whenever I log in I will have a notification that someone has tried to talk to me.  I don't know what to do about the article then.  I suppose that we should take the more recent articles that you suggest as the current information, and make a note on the talkpage showing the confusion between the sources quoted.  Does that sound reasonable?  leaving a version of this on your talkpage as well so you know that I have replied. Syrthiss (talk) 17:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
