December 2009 reboot

This article was pretty spammy in its previous incarnations but I've given it a fresh start here. Feedback welcomed, of course. A Train^talk 18:41, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Patent Troll

I believe someone needs to explain why they remove the patent troll part and the Ars Technica reference. Also, their relation to Vringo, Inc.82.77.106.135 (talk) 23:13, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We can note that a number of commentators describe it as a patent troll. Not all do, and the title is clearly a POV-laden pejorative. Among others, Reuters does not use the epithet: [1]. The term is properly noted in the lede of the article, but is not directly applied. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 10:52, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're still pretty clueless, and your modifications are bad. Reuters is another category, of course. See also what I wrote here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:EdJohnston#Vringo 5.12.179.96 (talk) 11:10, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welp, you're not going to gain consensus by calling me "clueless." Have a nice day. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:08, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
