FWDixon/Finnan is a spammer and plagiarist with more than 100 links from Wiki to his web site to sell books thru Amazon.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.205.13.193 (talkcontribs) 12:38, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

More on the link spamming and commercial advertising. Example http://hardyboys.bobfinnan.com/hbpb.htm is just a list of titles that all have links to Amazon. All of the books summaries were copied from Amazon. Every HB Digest title, Casefiles title, Clues Brothers title, Supermysteries title, Ultra Thriller title and so on has a link to Amazon and all summaries were copied from Amazon. Does that tell anyone something? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_House_on_the_Cliff for his lame explanations.

All Tom Swift info on Finnan's Tom Swift web pages except Tom Swift & Linda Craig Mystery Hour were copied from Bob Cook’s Tom Swift and His Amazing Works Catalog. Example: all info on foreign reprints from Cook’s book pages 28 – 30. Look at web page at http://www.glitterglow.com/ to review. Finnan created his Tom Swift pages using this book, doesn’t mention the source and puts his own copyright notice on the pages.

All info on the Ultra Thriller, TSIII and TSIV books on The Unofficial Tom Swift Web site link was copied straight from the back of the paperbacks. These are commercial links with no original content and should be identified as commercial links. This would be consistent with how the owner's link on the Nancy Drew page was handled. Otherwise the links should be removed. 69.205.9.31 18:34, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
