Clear-cut Plagiarism

The section "Fuqua as governor" is almost entirely plagiarized from the entry in the Reference section [1]. The following is the text from the official Lousiana government website:

Henry Fuqua brought considerable managerial skill to the office of Governor, but his lack of political expertise hampered his efforts during his short term. Fuqua pushed through the anti-Klan legislation begun during Governor Parker's term and increased the budget for LSU for more construction on the new campus. He ran into trouble when he awarded the franchise to build a toll bridge from east New Orleans to Slidell across Lake Pontchartrain to a private firm, the Watson-Williams syndicate, represented by former Governor J. Y. Sanders. Huey Long would use this controversial decision in his campaign for Governor in 1928. Fuqua did not live to seek another term. He died in office on October 11, 1926. He was the last Governor to win office on the strength of the New Orleans Choctaw Club political machine.

I tried to trace out who did it but it appears to come from an anonymous IP source... Stevenmitchell 19:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
