Poison pill

[edit]

I have removed from this article a "fact" stating that Clark is attributed with having created the "poison pill" strategy. The poison pill article claims this strategy was invented by Martin Lipton in 1982. While the fact is not cited in the poison pill article, the article on Lipton contains enough verifying material to lend credence to that claim over Clark's. If a citation can be found to verify Clark's invention of this strategy, the fact could be restored, but without a citation, it should not be.

Fact reinstated (although reworded) based on examination of cited sources. Clark didn't invent the strategy, he was just the first to use it in a major action. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:36, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
