Talk:Fort Knox

Lazy cut and paste jobs
I'm not allowing lazy cut and paste jobs into this article. Period. Do your own writing! Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 06:38, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Dumping a bunch of unwikified text here and expecting others to clean it up is unacceptable, no matter the source. Also, even if public domain text is usable, it must be *factored* into the existing article, something that was not done. Also, the existing content (that many people had worked on) was removed in the process. I don't see a serious effort here to create a good article, and until it becomes serious, I'm fighting it.

 * The article appears to contain several articles from the fort knox website pretty much word for word. I'll see what I can do to shape this one up. Just maybe I'll include some references. Jahnx  04:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Digital photo featuring mannequin labeled as photo from the 1940s
Hello wikipedians, I have found out that a digital photo showing a mannequin in a tank labeled as it being taken in the 1940s. Note the unusally high quality. I personally think that it was a photo showing what was described, but it was not able to be used under creative commons liscensces. Please change, Thank you for your time. 98.181.69.7 (talk) 13:37, 21 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Typically, federal government images can be used in articles as much as CC-licensed ones, as they are considered public domain. Also, high-quality color photographs could be made in the 1940s, although it was expensive and the process was slow. As you may well know, the U.S. military easily had the resources to have photos like this made. On top of that, I don't see any images in this article with a mannequin, unless you are mistaking a human being for one. Stefen Towers among the rest!   Gab • Gruntwerk 18:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
