Copyright violations[edit]

It appears the majority of this article is copied almost verbatim from: http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,110801,00.html?ESRC=navynews.RSS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Triikan (talk • contribs) 02:40, 25 June 2007

I believe I have edited the paragraph which was the problem. The rest is cited. Please let me know what you think (also, sign your posts!). Thanks, Daysleeper47 12:47, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, that paragraph was a problem, but THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE is copied from the above linked article. The third paragraph is a line from the second paragraph of the article. The first sentence of the 5th paragraph is copied from the fifth paragraph of the article. Hell, the military.com article isn't even linked in this article, where it's COMPLETELY apparent that this entire article was lifted. A simple reword is not adequate. The military.com article needs to be sourced, and the entire article needs rewritten, not just the words tossed around.Triikan 23:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Kurt Lippold" or "Kirk Lippold?"[edit]

There is also a "Kurt" Lippold page, but it seems to be an incorrect spelling of the name "Kirk": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Lippold — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.13.134.59 (talk) 18:40, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
