"BIG APPLE" WIKIPEDIA PAGE
...
Like a bad penny, the "Big Apple" Wikipedia page has changed  again. On
November 9th, the infamous Peter Salwen added an external  link. It's this:
...
_Why Is New York Called "The Big  Apple"?_ (http://www.salwen.com/apple.html)
 The authoritative version, from the Society for New York City  History
...
Yes, a link to Peter Salwen's own website! The "authoritative  version"! The
one that steals pictures and information off of my site without  credit!
...
I just want to punch this guy!
