[edit] Stub?

I fleshed out the Robert F. Sink article. Do you want to remove the stub tag?

[edit] Ownership

For reference, on my large expansion I just made the people before my work better, and more organized. I claim no ownership over that information. Martorius 18:42, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Seeing as how the article was a cut-and-paste of a public domain bio of Sink on the Fort Bragg website, none of us could claim personal owenership over the writing. I've made some revisions and will continue to do so to transform his entry from a dry listing of all of his assignments (most of which are not at all important to understanding his contributions to history) into a narrative that might lead people to try to learn more about him. Also, since this is an encylcopedia, all of the information must, by definition, come from elsewhere.

Oddly, the Bragg bio hardly mentions his combat commands. One sentence is allocated for 1943-1945, not mentioning D-Day, Market-Garden or Bastogne. Another sentence identifies him as an ADC in Korea, but never mentions anything else about Korea. In fifty years, would anyone reading that have any idea why anyone would care who Sink was? --Habap 18:56, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
