Hi, Could you please help me in making this edit. Really we just want to remove the language that Harry Sloan was fired from MGM. He was not fired, he stepped down. Here are pages that substantiate that he wasn't fired: http://www.movieweb.com/news/NEAoXBCJn3qSED http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=58181 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0805963/bio http://www.filmjournal.com/filmjournal/content_display/news-and-features/news/cinemas/e3i40bd5ed68a1b665f12d85ba5f10fc475 http://www.pbn.com/MGM-files-for-bankruptcy-rejecting-Lions-Gate-Icahn-bid-Prov-Equity-flagged-as-a-loser,53554 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-11-03/metro-goldwyn-mayer-files-bankruptcy-after-rejecting-lions-gate-takeover.html

Here it is listed in Businessweek: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-11-03/mgm-files-bankruptcy-rejecting-lions-gate-icahn-bid.html

Harry Sloan's cached bio on the MGM website also says he stepped down (not fired): http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:x4I981Hhi_8J:www.mgm.com/corporate/section/bio/id/2/index.html+harry+sloan+stepped+down&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

I could find more resources if you want. The fact is Harry Sloan remained as Chairman of the Board after he was no longer CEO, and if he was fired why would they keep him on as the Chairman?

What can I use to substantiate this fact? He was not fired, and we need this wording removed from the MGM history on Wikipedia.

I appreciate your help on this, Bonnie
