[edit] The article is a copy of Mahan's book contents

This so called "article" is an exact copy of the Contents of Mahan's book: The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783. Binot 17:07, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I put a reference in there. I can't see any copyright issues with a blurb/review if credit is given. CNSW 05:29, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I think this article should be merged with Alfred Thayer Mahan or even deleted entirely. The book is an important one, but it doesn't merit a separate article. As it stands, this page is little more than a table of contents, it hasn't been tidied in six months, it isn't useful and breaches the rules of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.

[edit] Temp. Page

I have just created a temporary article for this page. From what I have seen, most of the copywritten was already deleted. I deleted some more, and added new information, so the temporay page has not been started from scratch. Other than the first sentence, which is inherently similar, I believe that the temporary page does not violate any copywrites. If anyone sees any vestiges of the copywrite, please remove it.
