[edit] Plagiarism?

Entire paragraphs are lifted directly from the Miller and Rampton article listed in the bibliography. This material should be quoted explicitly rather than just copied.--csloat 08:52, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Material is also appears to be cribbed from or copied by the SourceWatch article linked:

• Rendon Group at SourceWatch. SourceWatch is not necessarily a reliable source in keeping with the guidelines in Wikipedia:Reliable sources. --NYScholar 01:15, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean Up/Sources/BLP tags

Tagged due to problems mentioned in "Plagiarism?" comment above and obvious need for better documentation with reliable source and adherence to WP:BLP. This article was renamed and/or redirected from "John Rendon" to "Rendon Group," but it still concerns a living person and contains material related to his biography. All those external links tossed in by previous users need to be incorporated (if reliable sources) in the article as referenced citations ("Notes"). Previous format for references as "external links" throughout and in an "External links" section is not acceptable. All sources and statements identified as from them still need to be checked and verified. Notability and reliability of sources currently given only as external links need checking and evaluation. --NYScholar 00:46, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
