Talk:David J. Campanale

Need for referencing improvement
This article currently has just one stated source, the official U.S. military bio for David J. Campanale. As with some other military bio articles, I see at least two problems: 1.) the official U.S. military bios are likely to be slanted, in that they do not convey information that would reflect poorly on the military (compare the official bio of Frank Kelso, involved in the Tailhook scandal, vs. a better written wikipedia article on him using several other sources), and 2.) the article does not show which material is copied. Copied material should be in quotes (quotation marks or set in block quote formatting), to separate from wikipedia editor wording. Hence I mark this article with the "refimprove" tag.

This is not an issue of copyright violation, I believe that the source is public domain. It is an issue of proper referencing, including avoiding the appearance of plagiarizing, but for other good referencing reasons as well. There are other perspectives than mine on some of these details. See Talk at WP:REF for other current discussion. doncram (talk) 17:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
