[edit] Copyright Violation

This is a clear copy and paste from a website. This entire article needs to be rewritten. I will contact the creator to do so, before putting it up for deletion.--Kranar drogin 01:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Not a copyright violation. Text is public domain from Air Force website.--Nobunaga24 01:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, you are right. It does fall under that, but I still feel it should be rewritten, the entire article is all over the place. Like his death date at the end of the article? I can understand doing a quick article though.--Kranar drogin 02:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, it needs work. What is beautiful about using the .mil sites is that you get the framework, almost all relevant facts, usually a picture, and as long as you cite the source (with a convenient template) you have a ready made basic article. They aren't perfect - they tend to omit anything negative, they use non-neutral language, and take for granted that the reader knows the acronyms, terms, etc. But with wikipedia, they can be edited. Less than flattering info can be inserted - for example, this article: Gregory S. Martin had nothing on the McCain nomination block from the air force source. And for a good example of how far an article can be built upon, check the Robin Olds article. It started as a cut and paste from the Air Force, too.--Nobunaga24 03:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
