Date change

I changed the announcement date of the collaboration between Blockbuster and CinemaNow from January 2008 to January 2009, based on seeing the press release posted this week by a friend who works for CinemaNow's owner, Sonic Solutions. I'm pretty sure 2008 was the kind of date typo common in the January of any year -- if I'm incorrect about this, I apologize. Mnoe817 (talk) 08:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I think it is now owned by BestBuy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.18.163 (talk) 21:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

COI editor

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

An attorney for the company has twice now made edits that make the article read like a press release. His version was not written in encyclopedic WP:TONE nor in a format that follow WP:LEAD or the MOS in general. I would ask that COI editor not to edit-war but to examine other companies' Wikipedia article and try to emulate the style and tone. For example, two business-related articles that reached official "Good Article" status are Nestlé Purina PetCare and Dean Witter Reynolds. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:00, 16 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I have further removed advertorial from this article, as well as the deprecated listing of "competitors". However, I have re-added the logo and the fact that the company has been sold to FilmOn referenced to a reliable, independent source. In light of that I have also removed the maintenance tags for "advertising tone" and lack of inline citations—the article has multiple inline citations. An editor who has the article's subject as his client should not be editing this article at all. He should request edits on this talk page for uninvolved editors to evaluate and and implement if they are justified. He should also explicitly state the names of the companies he represents on his talk page. Voceditenore (talk) 07:34, 17 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Voceditenore: Hear ye, hear ye! Everything you say is absolutely correct, and may I compliment you on an excellent job of bringing this sorry article up to encyclopedic standards. I went through and filled out the references — many contained no bylines or names of publications/websites — and added archive links. A pleasure to meet you and work with you! --Tenebrae (talk) 15:14, 17 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
