Consider revising the following sentence: "Eklund is 6'4" tall, weighing 195 pounds and penis length 8 inches thick." How can the length of a penis be ''8 inches thick''?! Suggestion: Remove the word ''thick''. PJ 16:11, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

It's also not true, as a look at any of his pics will reveal! More like six. But pending a change on that I'll add metric measurements to the article. --[[User:Dub8lad1|Dub8lad1]] 22:02, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Good lard, this article needs work. Several of the "edits" of the past 6 months have rendered entire clauses unintelligible. Some of this may be because we have some native Swedish speakers posting in English; I am not sure, but it needs work.

Example: back on 1 June we had "In 1999, he founded the internet company Humany, with his father and the former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt on the board, among others. Eklund was the CEO and had 45 employees at the age of 23." On 12 June 72.76.2.125 "rm anecdotal content, irrelevancy" resulting in "In 1999, Eklund founded the internet company Humany. He was the CEO and had 45 employees at the age of 23." 7 August, Bravo900 reintroduced the dad and misused a verb: "In 1999, Eklund founded the internet company Humany together with his father. He was put CEO and had 45 employees at the age of 23." 13 September, 64.61.24.194 inserts a wildly misplaced modifier and a run-on: "In 1999, Eklund founded the internet company Humany. He was the CEO and had 45 employees at the age of 23 **with former prime minister Carl Bildt and became internationally known as the IT-wiz kid of Sweden's Internet bubble**." And that's how it stands today: awful and misleading. I cannot attest to the veracity of any of this information, but the earlier versions had Mr. Eklund's dad and former prime minister Carl Bildt on the board of directors of Humany. The latest version doesn't say anything of the kind; Carl Bildt's role is left totally unspecified, and it's got no business being tacked onto the latter sentence of the two quoted.

Similarly, the last sentence under Biography reads: "Eklund is currently working Senior Vice President at the New York City real estate firm CORE Group Marketing and sold for $211M USD the last 12 months according to their website." Eklund sold for $211M USD? At auction, perhaps? I wasn't aware there was a former gay pornstar auction going in NYC. And "in the last 12 months" is not the way to specify a date. This also proceeded from the 13 September edit by 64.61.24.194, and this is the ONLY Wikipedia edit found from that IP address.

I'm going to attempt some revision based on what I can find online, but somebody please go behind me and check this. [[User:Sebum-n-soda|Sebum-n-soda]] 17:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

:I have reviewed the article and decided to revert your edit. However, I did remove some uncited statements that were controversial. What remains should not be [[defamation]].
