re: Reverse takeover
Hi, I'm a long-time Wikipedia user but I haven't contributed before. I see that you're an editor of the "reverse takeover" article, so thought I'd run the following past you.

The article as currently written is inaccurate in several respects. To mention two:

- For a takeover to be "reverse", it is not sufficient for the acquiring company to be the smaller of the two. What is essential is that ownership control of the acquiring company has to change as a result of the transaction.

- The acquirer need not be a "shell" company.

For more detail and an example on these issues, please take a look at a recent Q&A on Askville in which I was involved (check both "Answers" and "Discussion Board"): http://askville.amazon.com/askville/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=2410153

If you agree, please feel free to revise the Wikipedia article accordingly. Thanks. Gbognar 20:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * "Askville" itself is not sufficiently reliable to use as a source, but the Investopedia link on that page appears to be. If you see something inaccurate, though, you're more than welcome to fix it until it is right.  Be bold, as they say.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 20:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
