Dear Christinadaltro,

Hello, and welcome to SourceWatch! Thank you for your excellent contributions to the Merrell Williams article.

Please note that all information added to articles in SourceWatch must be referenced to authoritative sources. Given this, I have separated out the following addition, and added a tag to it to flag that it needs a reference.

"Merrell Williams' lawsuits: Maddox vs Unknown Defendant aka Maddox vs Williams, Jefferson County District Court, Commonwealth of Kentucky, September 29, 1993; Brown and Williamson Tobacco Company vs Merrell Williams, M&S Enterprises, John Does 1-10, Biloxi, Mississippi, Federal Court, February 14, 1995. Williams' Counterclaims to 'Maddox', March 4, 1994, and 'Brown and Williams/Williams/Biloxi Fed. 1996. Both lawsuits were settled by mutual agreement between Merrell Williams and Wyatt-Brown and Williamson, 1997.  The settlement terms are solely with Merrell Williams and the record of the settlement is sealed."

Please go through the other information you have added to the article as well and provide authoritative references. (Books, published articles and newspaper or television reports, transcripts, court documents like testimony, depositions or final rulings, tobacco industry documents and government documents are all examples of authoritative references.) We need authoritative referencing to substantiate the credibility of information added to SourceWatch articles.

Thank you again for your contributions, and your help in finding references for this important information.
