Please note that Paul H. Carr does not qualify for inclusion within the Silver Star article. There are thousands of these awards, and this article can not list them all. Paul H. Carr is, however, included in the Silver Star category, and so his name will appear listed together with his many worthy peers. The list of awardees within the Silver Star article is reserved for awardees who are notable for achievements beyond just the Silver Star award. These include authors, scholars, public servants, and multiple awardees. Rklawton 20:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Q: Okay I'm sure whether the information from the US Naval site on Paul Henry Carr is copyrighted or not, but if I could get the Navy permission to use would that be agreeable? I do not believe they would have a problem with it. The family is in contact with the ship Captain on a regular basis. Dsrush 22:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

A: If you get the written permission for the copyrighted information, than you can use it and submit it on Wikipedia. You can ask an admin for more details. ♫Deathgleaner 22:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Followup to this: Note that it isn't sufficient to get permission for wikipedia to use the text. You must get it licensed under the GFDL so that it can be used by others. --Sopoforic 22:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Why not just cite the various sources and write the biography yourself? Rklawton 22:50, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
