Fine-tuning needed at U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit
Nice work, I'm really amazed we've gone this far without coverage of that unit. Glad you notice and addressed that.

That said, I have published the article but it still needs some fine-tuning; note the banners at top of the page. Overall I have some concerns that the page is written too much based on the unit's own materials, so lacks some objectivity, and outside perspective on the significance of the unit. I suggest you read WP:Primary sources to figure out ways to address this.

The article could really use some pictures, and the great thing is that images taken by the DoD (and its sub-units) in the line of duty are automatically public domain, so any image that is documentably originally produced by the US Army, etc. (as in has photo credits to a PAO guy or whatnot) can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. I suggest an image of their logo for the very top, at least one cool posed trophy photo, a photo of them in the middle of competition, and maybe some really early photos showing what it looked like back in the 1950s. Uploading images is a little tricky to learn at first, but easy once you get used to it. See WP:Images for guide.

Great work, valuable contribution to Wikipedia, and hopefully drafting it and fine-tuning it will be a rewarding and educational experience! You can reply on my Talk page if you have any questions. MatthewVanitas (talk) 00:52, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit


A tag has been placed on U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.usaac.army.mil/amu/the-unit.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
