  • Keep needs to be cleaned up but subject is notable. I checked the other articles and the users contribution history, it's possible they are posting copyrighted material and don't know that. Awotter (talk) 08:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment These all smell like copyvios, especially the formatting. This one is probably from Sifakis per its own citation, a 1989 book that is still under copyright for some time to come. --Dhartung | Talk 09:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Since one of the other articles used different references I am not sure yet, I could find no matches in Google books and several of the articles seem to have a fair number of misspelled words, so it still could be someone just not aware of the problems with the articles or waht copyvio is. I posted a message on the users page along with an example of what a cleaned up article should look like James B. Walton and a link to Wiki Military Project.
