[edit] Removed reference to The Big Con

I removed this line:

"David Maurer's The Big Con provided Mathews with a number of slang terms, and possibly some plot elements as well."

because Maurer's book was published in 1999.

Further research shows that Maurer's book was originally published in 1940. Paul 04:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tate Magazine article

This link: http://www.tate.org.uk/tateetc/issue12/livingwithniki.htm

was removed from the article as "spam." I don't see anything wrong with it.

The user who added it had blanketed a large number of pages with articles from the tate.org.uk page. Adding nothing but ELs, from one homepage, to a wide variety of articles, is necessarily spammming and self-promotion. Carl.bunderson (talk) 04:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The link has been restored by the same Tate Modern employee, so it may be time to ask for help from an administrator. Paul (User:Lpgeffen) (talk) 01:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
