User:Lecutas left the following in the article just above the section on WW2 The undernoted history is subject to copyright in my book Cairo to Berlin.

1. ISBN-10: 0907322905 2. ISBN-13: 978-0907322900

Unless you can cite your alternative source for using the exact text from my book I should appreciate it for you to remove your content. I do agree that the history as it was did look rather like a cut and paste and I have therefore deleted it. NtheP (talk) 19:37, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

The following statement has been posted on 3 RHA's Facebook site

 * [this post was made by an unsigned poster on 23 December 2016. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:40, 11 December 2018 (UTC)]
 * It's signed now - wolf  09:30, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Blogs are inaccurate, not Janes. Sammartinlai (talk) 02:52, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, while Jane's is usually accurate on UK armed forces updates, changes, and especially equipment, they can be wrong, as can all news sources, and they have a horrific record on more specialist armed forces update material beyond the usual suspects of the UK, NATO, and United States. Inaccuracies and half-wrong context is common. Here, the CO 3 RHA has specifically endorsed a post on one particular blog, attesting that they have the correct version on this issue.
 * I find specialist blogs written by experts to be among the best sources for reference on Wikipedia, when they support or expand upon available dead-tree or other sources, and can be corroborated. However, using them here one has to be careful, due to WP:SPS. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:40, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Then you are just pandering to a foul-mouth, extreme right-wing person. Why not trust my blog? Sammartinlai (talk) 07:52, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * It is an unsourced claim that the the CO, just like someone refused my edit over Army Sergeant Major. Sammartinlai (talk) 07:54, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm confused. I've found that particular site in question reliable and it extends the data available beyond other sites. I have never seen any foul language on it. Why are you mentioning ad hominem insults? But to be honest, my point is really Jane's; like any source, they're not infallible.
 * However, whether the text above *was* copied from the 3 RHA Facebook page is a legit question. I have to say I went to the 3 RHA Facebook thinking it had been posted in the last few days, and gave up. I'll have to take a longer look at some other point.
