Ibid.
Please do not use Ibid. in citations, as you did here. Ibid. only works when one citation cites the same work as the immediately preceding citation, but there is no guarantee in Wikipedia that any given citation will ever follow any other after subsequent edits have been applied. Rather, use named references ( ... ) to repeatedly used the same reference in an article. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:31, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes. Moreover, there is everything wrong with primary sources: please see WP:PRIMARY. What you are doing on Cultural intelligence isn't far removed from writing an article of praise about the US military and how it is promoting cultural awareness. Moreover, you're overwhelming the article with primary detail of an unencyclopedic nature. Finally, as for the "US-centric" part--"cultural intelligence" isn't a US-exclusive term, as a quick trip to JSTOR verifies immediately, and I have tagged the article as such: it needs globalization. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 18:36, 23 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the advice and I will make the necessary changes. This is my first time working on wiki and I want to get it right.

Hey, Inspector. As I alluded in my edit summary, the document is "unclassified for official use only", and says within the document itself that it cannot be released to the public without express written consent (on the second page of the PDF). Moreover, it's kind of plagiarism to directly copy the text of the article with only a few word changes here or there without acknowledging that that's what you're doing; merely citing the source in a standard inline citation isn't enough for that, since there's no indication that it's not your own words. Please don't re-add the material; it's problematic for the reasons that Drmies describes above and other reasons, too. Thanks for trying to improve the article, though!

 * Thanks, Writ Keeper. I made some changes that I think should work.
 * Well, in the meantime someone came by and more than decimated the article. I restored the older version, and again cut material from the Human Terrain System: it's simply undue weight. HTS HAS an article, and there is no need for such detail when the article is linked. Drmies (talk) 19:39, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
