Hi Wham- When I created this page on the Temperance Educational Quarterly on 16-11-05, I used Temperance Movement Groups and Leaders in the U.S. rather than National Prohibition of Alcohol in the U.S. Therefore, it is not spam. Thanks.David Justin 17:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

David Justin / Dr. David J. Hanson, You have been persistently been spam linking to your sites mainly using sock puppets such as those blocked in this case: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/David Justin (2nd).

You claim that the page you created on 16-11-05 is based on http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Controversies/1124913901.html However, if we examine the page using the Waybackmachine http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Controversies/1124913901.html , we find that at February 14 2006, http://web.archive.org/web/20060214182339/http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Controversies/1124913901.html this page does not mention Temperance Educational Quarterly at all.

You appear to have copied the text from Wikipedia more or less verbatim into your own page some time during February 2007 and you are now claiming that your page is the original source!

Did you really think your sleight of hand wouldn’t be found out? It is hardly likely to enhance your reputation as an academic. Wham Bam No Thank You Spam 08:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The source

Hi wham- If you had looked at the history page before making accusations you would have seen that the source was originally listed as National Prohibition of Alcohol in the U.S., which was actually one of two sources. However, on 26-12-06, you deleted the link after erroneously declaring it a spam link that "does not mention Temperance Educational Quarterly."

With only the date changed, the observation of respected editor John Broughton says it well:

May I point out that the text that was "copied" into the potsdam.edu page was created by User:David Justin on September 10, 2005, and that contributors to Wikipedia retain the copyright over their own contributions. You're not really accusing Dr. Hanson of plagarizing himself, are you? -- John Broughton (♫♫) 14:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Source documentation

Hi Wham- The material in bold was sourced from “Temperance Movement Groups and Leaders in the U.S.” Therefore, indicating so does not constitute spam but proper referencing. Thanks.David Justin 15:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

The Temperance Educational Quarterly was published by the Department of Scientific Temperance Instruction of the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). The magazine provided scripts for students and teachers to use on Willard day, printed pledges for pupils to sign, presented quotations on the dangers of alcohol, featured prize-winning student essays, printed stories about the horrible consequences of drinking, and provided detailed lesson plans for teaches.

The editor of the periodical, which was published from 1910 to 1917, was Edith Smith Davis.
