[img_assist|nid=6159|title=|desc=|link=url,http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Portal:Tobacco|align=right|width=84|height=157]We need help cleaning up existing articles in our new Tobaccowiki Biographies [5] database. Tobaccowiki [6] is a new project to mine information from tobacco industry documents now available online [7]. The Biographies articles contain information on people affiliated with the tobacco industry [8], such as consultants, political allies, and employees. You can help by editing any of the articles - everything from reformatting to rewording sentence fragments to adding new information is very helpful! We're especially interested in strengthening articles on: Allen M. Brandt [9], the author of the new book Cigarette Century; Bing Crosby [10], who endorsed Chesterfield cigarettes; Albert Gore [11], the U.S. vice-president during major tobacco litigation; and Norma Broin [12], who launched a landmark legal case against cigarette companies. If this is your first time editing on SourceWatch, you can register here [13], and learn more about adding information to the site here [14] and here [15].
