Attendance Controversy

According to the article:

Critics and various other convention organizers are also quick to note that when a three day pass is purchased from FXC, the same individual attendee is counted as attending three times, thus inflating the true attendance numbers.

Anyone know anything about this?--み使い Mitsukai 14:58, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alterations and Removals (vandalism?) by FXC/Hobbystar employees

By doing some research by using the older version function and google searches, it's apparent that people working for/associated with this expo do not want certain public information available.

"Criticism"This was incredibly vague. If they are specific complaints/concerns, they should be listed.)

Detailed information can be provided for criticism (example: external links), but people such as jtkirk1760 (a Fan Expo Canada Employee) have removed them previously, thus making your request rather redundant. Is it considered standard practice by employees to hide facts that do not give their product a glowing review? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toronto-SMOF (talk • contribs)

I've tagged the statement as needing a cite from a verifiable and reliable source. Please see WP:CITE, m:Cite/Cite.php, WP:VERIFY, WP:NPOV and WP:RS for details. The last one is particularly important because anyone can put up a webpage spouting off nonsense, but a non-editorial news article would have much greater credibility. I've also removed several addition that do not conform to WP:NPOV, Wikipedia is not a soupbox to spout out your POV. --TheFarix (Talk) 03:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've read up on the recent turn of events, and yes, Wikipedia is not a soapbox. But it is a place to find fact, despite it not being popular.

The follwoing webpage contains facts regarding how they got caught harassing someone by email with unwanted advertising, and then harassing him when his requests to be left alone were ignored.

This is currently in the external links. If the Criticism section is removed, the above link should at least remain.
