message: This article contains virtually no information regarding the September 22, 1999 lawsuit filed against Phillip Morris Inc. by the United States of America. Subsequently, there is no unique article about this very lawsuit. I am inclided to incorporate the lawsuit in this article but I would like to hear any objections from the community.
:There is a unique article to this lawsuit. It just wasn't specifically against  Philip Morris, but against the companies as a whole. I don't know how to do this, but you should add a "See also..." for the Master Settlement Agreement (and probably reference it somewhere in the article). The  MSA is the lawsuit against the tobacco companies in 1998 at the U.S. Supreme Court. It is a short article, however. Perhaps if someone here has the time, they can work on it?

message: Looking at the article on the Altria subsidiary Philip Morris USA I note that it adds little information that's not in this main article, and the few additions are largely informally written, and only one section (i.e. this.  If the PMUSA page were an extensive breakdown of the company's tobacco history, etc, I could certainly see reasons for keeping it separate, but as it currently exists it's little more than a stub that can be used to flesh out this main article. -Markeer 13:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi,
This is my first ever Wikipedia post.
Just noticed that you get to this article if you do a search on "Phillip Morris". This is a misspelling of the tobacco company. It's Philip Morris and that should point to another page on Altria.
Thanks.
