[edit] Copyvio passages

Most of this article seems to be a fractionally-reworded reproduction of a biographical entry at the Univ. of Minnesota's e-museum, see here.

Needs a complete rewrite to avoid copyvio concerns.--cjllw | TALK 01:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, great job, CoyoteMan. That's a vast improvement - thanks! That's been hanging around for some time, glad you've been able to fix it up. Only a couple of minor formatting things left, but much easier to remediate now. Cheers, --cjllw ʘ TALK 04:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. And thanks for cleaning it up. The article needs perspective on Tozzer's impact on Maya studies. I tried to stick to just the facts. CoyoteMan31 12:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
