Verifiability[edit]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and therefore all material must be verifiable. The recollections of your father of his journey aboard the HMS Empire Spearhead do not constitute a valid reference. If reliable sources cannot be found to substantiate your article, it may be deleted. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:09, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've rewritten the article to conform with various policies. Your original article appeared to include quite a bit of copy-paste from other websites. This is a copyright violation and cannot be allowed on Wikipedia. Please take the time to read the pages linked from the welcome notice above. Any questions about the article please raise on the talk page of the article. Mjroots (talk) 11:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
