Untitled[edit]

The Wiki article now identifies Reuben James as being "Patrick Reuben James" this was an unsigned edit. Is there a source that identifies him with this first name? Also an unsigned edit stated that he was born in Sleaford in England. This contradicts the official US Navy history which states he was born in Delaware http://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2005-02/lest-we-forget-reuben-james-uss-minneapolis-ca-3 . What is the evidence that we should not accept the US Navy's account? I will wait a few weeks for your response before changing the article. Jawadbek (talk) 17:17, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That was pretty obviously vandalism, and I have reverted. Surprised it took so long. Kendall-K1 (talk) 15:54, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
