Untitled[edit]

I have written the main article for Dewey Lambdin. I have read the whole Patrick O'Brian Aubrey-Maturin series of historical naval novels set during the Napoleonic Wars and am also interested in this author as he covers the same period in the same fictional vein.

Plagiarism[edit]

The first paragraph of the "Alan Lewrie Series" section is copied from http://www.armchairsailorseattle.com/dewlamalser.html

The synopsis of The King's Coat comes from another page of that site: http://www.armchairsailorseattle.com/kingscoat.html. Or perhaps from the publisher's site, here: http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780449003602.

The biographical material on Lambdin (which has a press-kit feel) is lifted from http://www.uss-bennington.org/DeweyLambdin.htm (the page is cited as a source--but the language is copied exactly). RLetson (talk) 19:16, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
