What is the dispute?
I have a problem with the Lanix page. User:Foxxygrandpa has added a section on 3D TVs that is not supported by the provided citations.

All of the cited sources are in Spanish, and while all relate to 3D TVs, none support the claims they are cited to support.

I have provided translations of the cited sources and blockquoted the material they purport to support below.

In 2009 Lanix revealed that it was working with the National Autonomous University of Mexico, DDD, and the Mexican center for research of applied technologies on the development of a 3D holographics based television which can be viewed in 3D without the use of 3D glasses. Translation of cited source: here

As of 2009 the joint venture has succeded in producing two prototypes. Electronics industry analysts have reported that this could put Lanix and the Mexican consumer electronics industry as a whole on equal footing in terms of design capabilities with the electronics industries of Korea or Japan. Translation of cited source: here

The secretary of academics at the university, who is heading the project, has stated that he wishes to use this technology to give Mexico a foothold in a specific large market which it can dominate due to its lead role in the development of these types of displays. Translation of cited source: here

The project is being funded by both Lanix in the private sector and the Mexican government. Lanix hopes to began selling the televisions before 2020. If this goes to plan then Lanix will be the first company to sell commercial holographic displays. Translation of cited source: here

What would you like to change about this?
I would like Foxxygrandpa to acknowledge that the sources he has cited do not support the content he has cited them for.

How do you think we can help?
MedCab can help by engaging Foxxygranpa in a discussion about these spurious citations. I have tried to talk to him about these edits, but Foxxygrandpa is non-responsive and reverts any attempt to remove the material.

Discussion
Per notice on User:Foxxygrandpa, he has been blocked for sockpuppetry. However, there I can see an IP editing the page. Its contributions are somewhat duck-y. I'll try to get a CU for it. Bejinhan  talks   06:43, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * On second thoughts, you might want to consider starting an SPI on this. There are a number of similarities between Foxxygrandpa and IP.  Bejinhan   talks   11:27, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
