This article is plagarised from Ecko's biography. Whoever wrote it had the guts to even link to that same article. Unless it was written with permission it should be changed. I don't know enough about Ecko to write it myself.

Interesting some of the edits by puddletime, such as removing all details of Ecko being Jewish, removing details about the Air Force One publicity stunt, repeating verbatim puff from his official biography, adding POV wording to existing sentences (along with a handful of more useful edits). Then on the most recent edit, the user manages to find two images hosted by Ecko's PR company, Susan Blond Inc. that Google doesn't know about. The user appears to be a Single Purpose Account for Mark Ecko and his PR company. I'll try and put back some of the content that's been removed, where appropriate. --duncan 18:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] '06 NY Graffitti Lawsuit

Someone needs to include the recent lawsuit Ecko filed (on behalf of a group of high school students) appealing a ruling that would have made it illegal for anyone 18-21 yr old in New York to carry broad-tip markers or spray cans. A judge recently overturned the ruling in Ecko's favor. I'll try and find a NY Times link for the article.

[edit] Speedy Deletion?

Please see my explanation on [1]. Note that I didn't author this article, contribute in any way besides the HangOn notice, nor can vouch for the above statement. I only question the reasoning behind the Speedy Deletion as I believe the article should remain, although possibly cleaned up for Wikipedia standards. --Ataricodfish 16:09, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

OK, article has been removed from Speedy Deletion, so all's good. Don't know why it was nominated. --Ataricodfish 17:42, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
