Talk:The Tower Treasure

Link spamming and plagiarism
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?

"Outdated"
The entire section seems pretty frivolous to me, but in particular...

'Also, much of the language is outdated and show the strictly noble intentions of Frank and Joe. When referring to Callie Shaw, a girl Frank liked, the text reads, "Frank often dated Callie and liked her better than any girl he knew." Joe liked Chet's sister, Iola Morton. When talking about her, the book says that Joe "thought she was quite the nicest girl in Bayport High and dated her regularly."'

...how is that outdated? Caswin 11:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Moreover, it appears to be original research. Consequently, I have removed it. If someone wants to add a cited critical opinion of this book, that's fine. However, if it's just the editor's own opinion of the book, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. --GentlemanGhost 12:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
