thread_title:  Original Research 

message: It is imperative that the Truth not be hindered.
If it makes everyone happy, there is much corroborative evidence out there.
such as www.wjfa.net/bk/etoys.html and more.
Also, if it serves the purpose, I can put the a statement up, affirming the items
Testifying to such "under penalty of perjury"....as I have done many times before.
There is nothing on the report here as seems to have been edited by many parties,
that is not Factual..
Please stick to the initial decision and keep the recent edit
 that is not mine,  up there
The Truth should never be silenced

thread_title:  Effort to Cover up the Truth 

message: I removed most of the middle of the article, which was given over to an extended and extraneous discussion of the details of various lawsuits following on the failure of the original eToys enterprise.  I did so for several reasons - first, the discussion was disproportionate to the article as a whole.  Second, the material appears to have been entered by a participant in those proceedings, without concern for the guidance found at WP:COI.  Third, the material appeared to be contrary to the principles of both WP:NPOV and WP:SOAPBOX.  There may be other reasons to object to it as well, but those are all that come immediately to mind.
These edits restore the page to its approximate state prior to August 6, 2007.  JohnInDC (talk) 16:17, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article cleanup 

message: If you take notice of the edits and the issues they are what is.
Other persons have posted here and have been removed also.
If the very person who provided the documentation may not comment on the story, who can?
The power to edit or censor should not become abusive, lest you step upon the realm of facism.
At the same time, the haughty remarks and "ad hominem" attacks on foolishness does not bode well for character.
We have posted comments on other items, that are not our case, they have also seen removal, 
To what end?

thread_title:  You fail your own protocols 

message: This article appears to be about eToys.com - which warrants an article.  However, Wiki has lost
all of the historical facts regarding the original dot com company: eToys, Inc.  I'm suggesting a separate
article be made, and then hopefully there won't be incorrect cross editing.  In fact, these two entities
are entirely different legal entities.  eToys.com merely has rights to operate under the eToys name, while
eToys, Inc. is the original company that raised $8 Billion from stockholders during the internet bubble.  The
eToys, Inc. story needs to be recorded.  If people (stockholders) don't learn from history, they are doomed
to repeat it.  Any other opinions?  --Knowsetfree (talk) 20:46, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

The material from the last two sources above should be included in this article. The first may be covered enough as is. --Ronz (talk) 20:38, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
