Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (your reason here) --L3m83 (talk) 21:44, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What's the best way to prevent this page from being deleted?? How much time do I have to make corrections??

It looks like this has been tagged due to copyright violations. You would have to remove the portion that was pasted here from another site. If it is deleted, you should form the article, without pasting from other sites, in a sandbox. When it's ready, submit the article.

See also here for a template letting editors know you are still working on it. - superβεεcat 22:54, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aggressively working on fixing this article and would appreciate any patience you may offer. If you need to remove the article for the time being, I will work to correct it offline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by L3m83 (talk • contribs) 03:45, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably fine with that hangon template up for a while. - superβεεcat 03:58, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The page has been overhauled to avoid directly quoting from any other without proper citation. Additionally, I've added much more information and will continue to do so until this page is complete as possible.L3m83 (talk) 02:59, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'm going to go ahead and remove the banners. - superβεεcat 03:53, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note, you shouldn't have multiple identical citations. You can just have a proper citation once, and reference it multiple times in the article. superβεεcat 03:55, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

After receiving guidance I would also like to state that the foundation of this page was built from a navy.mil bio page which I'm told is an acceptable word for word source because it's in the public domain. The source page for the copyright infringement notice actually plagiarized the material from this page:

You have to give proper attribution when you copy public domain material. I have added the template {{PD-notice}} to accomplish this. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:26, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
