Talk:Elbert Eugene Spriggs

Maybe the page should be moved to Elbert Eugene Spriggs, and redirect from this page, and Yoneq. Kewp06:52, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I went ahead and moved the page to Elbert Eugene Spriggs because it seems more correct.--Kewp(t)18:18, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is not a copyright violation. All the information here is freely made available without copyright on Mr. Spriggs own website, www.TwelveTribes.org
There seem to be a large number of minor grammatical errors that could be fixed in the "autobiographical" section/
