Talk:The Mark on the Door

See [] for discussion about User FWDixon/Bob Finnan's link spamming and plagiarism.

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?
 * Yep, tells us you're lying! Here's a link to Amazon's Ultra Thriller page (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671756613/ref=nosim) and not a summary to be seen. Ditto for everything else. BTW, thanks for all the links to my site, I'm sure it will increase readership! :) --FWDixon 14:53, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

OH! You only plagiarized SOME of the summaries? Ultra Thrillers? You mean the summaries you have are not word for word from the back of the books? What summaries for any books in any of these series do you claim you wrote?

Original vs. Revised edition
I just recently read the original version of this book, and the plot was quite different from the summary posted in the article. (I have not read the revised version.) Perhaps there should be a note explaining that the plot summary is for the revised version, not the original 1934 version? Kestenbaum (talk) 11:39, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. I have identified the version from which the plot summary was written and added space for the other version.  Unfortunatly I can't get my hands on the original version, so I can't write a plot summary for it.  Can anyone else help here? VA6DK (talk) 02:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
