I will be making today a major expansion and revision of this entry, based on work by noted map historian Tony Campbell. --Keithpickering (talk) 17:58, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Having read several items about this man, I do not believe he was born in Martha's Vinyard. It seems he moved there as an adult. Someone with more information should make a correction!

[edit]The phrase 'it has inspired dialog on' needs a citation (and possibly rephrasing) Jackiespeel (talk) 11:29, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
Legacy section.
[edit]How is the paragraph starting with " Smiley was not the first major map thief." In the legacy section? This seems irrelevant and mildly promotional. Well at least the legacy section shouldn't include something that happened before? 2A02:1406:49:582D:5025:86A6:E885:486B (talk) 19:28, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
