Stryker
I noticed that you seem to be adding a bunch of new articles about stryker varaints. While Wikipedia needs more content, it regrettably can not accept copyrighted material (the content you have added seems to be from globalsecurity.or, see for example on the engineering vehicle.  As such, I am going to commence with adding speedy deletion tags to the articles.  Please let me know if you have permission of the copyright owner, or there is something I have overlooked.  Thanks,  --TeaDrinker 05:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, in looking over the material, much of it appears to have come from army specs for the vehicles, rather than commercially owned article. My apologies, it would seem globalsecurity used the same source.  I've not put any speedy notes in.  It would probably be good to cite the source of the material (formally use is permitted as us gov. work is public domain, however not citing it is plagerism).  Again, my apologies for the confusion. --TeaDrinker 05:14, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
