Ripped off

[edit]

Seems to be ripped off from here: http://www.bartleby.com/61/29/I0132900.html

Is this legal? Am I confused?  Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.107.216.162 (talk) 23:35, 26 May 2004 (UTC)Reply

An archive version suggests www.bartleby.com/ republished their information from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. which is Copyright © 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. and was published by the Houghton Mifflin Company, with all rights reserved. This article has since been taken down from their website, and the Wikipedia article has since been changed. Is it legal? Depends on whether bartleb.com licenced their content and where Wikipedia editors sourced their content from. Although the article has been changed, the source of the information still lacks a citation. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:53, 28 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Dictionary entry?

[edit]

This seems to be more of a definition of a word rather than an encyclopedia article.  Preceding unsigned comment added by Dough007 (talkcontribs) 00:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Lead section has extra information

[edit]

I have tagged this article for clean-up because the lead section has extra information defining influence peddling, and where it is illegal, that doesn't appear in the rest of the article. See MOS:LEAD for purpose of the lead. It should provide an accessible overview to the whole article. Information in the lead should be expanded upon in the body of the article, too. As it stands, without the lead, this article is just a list of examples that doesn't explain what influence peddling is or why it is not thought desirable by some.
