Problem with graph in the document:
In the PDF document, on page 5, the same graph appears twice
with two different captions. The one labled 'Single defacements
by months', which is the lower one on the page, appears to be
inconsistent with graphs elsewhere in the document.

Problems with text in the document:
Pages 1 and 2 have many errors of spelling and of grammar,
throughout each paragraph and the index. The entire text
needs to be re-written or corrected by someone with better
English skills if a professional appearance is desired.

Problem with using the information complying with disclaimer:
Note on page 2 states no commercial purpose, and goes on to
allow students, journalists, and researchers to use except for
when 'direct or indirect profit is obtained'. Yet all students,
journalists and researchers expect direct or indirect profit.
Unless profit is explicitly defined to mean only monetary
renumeration directly for the product that cites the article,
because profit generally would include reputation, exchange
of work for progess towards completion of a degree, ability
perform any tranformation of data into information or to
benefit in any number of intangeable ways from the information.

The disclaimer overrides the Creative Commons Deed on Page 13:
The ordinary method a student, journalist, or researcher would 
use the document is to cite only parts that are useful, or to
transform the information into a form that fits their intended
use. Those uses would be permitted were it not for the verbage
on Page 2. There are no rights allowed under the limits on Page 2
that extend what would be allowed by Creative Commons
license - 'Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs',
on page 13.

 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/legalcode
As such, the license on Page 2 is more restrictive than what
you probably intended, and there appears to be no reason to
have the Note on page 2, unless you did not intend to release
with the Creative Commons license on Page 13.
