[edit] Question
Does anyone know the orgin of this term's use in business takeovers? If so, it would be an interesting addition to this page.
I imagine it is the normal good guy hero imagery. Also, should a note about the character in Pretty Woman becoming a white knight count? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.243.201.127 (talk) 02:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Expand please
1: Per the above, some history and references documenting the term's use should be added to the article, if available, to establish the notability of the term. 2: The terms "grey knight" and "black knight" might be better explained here than not - Grey knight was recently deleted and the far shorter Black knight (business) article probably should be as well, given that it is only a single sentence long. 3: Please source and attribute the claims that the companies mentioned in the examples section were acting as white knights. Reads like WP:OR in its current state. MrZaiustalk 19:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
