The above link is exactly the same as the early career section in this article. Someone's been doing a little bit of plagiarism. 68.40.143.36 (talk) 02:19, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

The page you describe references Wikipedia as the source of its information; it even displays a Wikipedia logo. Many other sites do the same thing for most of their content (e.g., www.answers.com); this is totally permissable under the terms of the GFDL.

Please refrain from tossing out rash accusations of intellectual fraud, especially if you don't yet understand the issues involved.

John Rankin did some good things and his number one priority was to help those who needed it. Those who were stuck and couldn't get out of their lives that was HORRIBLE ; thank you John. You have helped my great great great great grandfather to escape. <3

I find it cool that my Great great great great grandfather helped your great great great great grandfather escape. (Yes, I am related to John Rankin, coming from the Richard Calvin Rankin side of his family.) Also, the author forgot or neglected to put in some facts about his death. Reverend John Rankin died in Ironton, Ohio due to cancer applied to his face. This "Face cancer" would cause his face to literally fall off.
