The bot has detected that maritimequest copied the same US Navy public domain text that I used as a basis for this article. --Dual Freq (talk) 20:37, 7 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yes indeed; and put a copyright notice on it too. I've marked this, and Frank G. Fahrion and Harry B. Jarrett, as "no copyright concern" here. However, I'm at a loss to understand why you would want to copy any of that content into Wikipedia. It is entirely inappropriate in tone (e.g., "for superbly organizing and directing the target and salvage units") and looks to me like WP:PLAGIARISM. Wouldn't it be preferable to write content in your own words? And if you paste US Government PD content into our articles, should you not acknowledge that you have done so by placing one of these templates on the page?
