In your most recent edit to the page Maurice J. Tobin, you added a rather unusual external link pointing at "targetwords.com" [1]. Based on some searching, this appears to be evidence that you have some sort of spyware installed on your machine. I recommend you download and run a spyware removal tool such as Ad-aware or Spybot immediately. -- Cyrius|✎ 21:03, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Major change

Joe, I notice that you did some editing back in 2004, and then nothing until this month.

I also note that, back in 2004, you contributed an article on Channing Cox which was copied exactly from an external website.

Please don't ever do this sort of thing again. The article on Channing Cox has been deleted for copyright reasons. We still need one, of course, but we can't have that one. DS 04:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He plagiarized the same source in Alvan Fuller, Joseph B. Ely, Charles F. Hurley and Samuel W. McCall which I've now deleted. Haukur 13:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
