Please do not remove the {{wikify}} comments from an article until you have brought it up to the manuaul of style. In this case, you need to use complete sentences. Thank you. -Patstuart 10:19, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kenneth article

The article is mostly fine, but it needs to be written in complete sentences- with both a noun and a verb. Sentences like "Served 23 years with the RAOC" should be rewritten to say "He served 23 years with the RAOC." I hope that could be helpful. Thanks! -Patstuart 10:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Stumpy. I listed the article because of the cut and paste edits from news websites which are almost always copyrighted. Wikipedia policy assumes that everything is copyright unless it noted as otherwise (it is possible I missed this when I nominated the pages). Please note that I am not responible for deleting the page, that is done by an adminstrator (which I'm not) and he or she (who would have more expertise in this area than me) would then make the decision if the pages are in violation of copyright.

I don't have any specialist knowledge in this area, however, I do have resonable research skills (or at least, I like to think I do) so I'll give you an undertaking that provided enough sources exist, I'll have a go at recreating these two articles if they are indeed deleted. Just bear in mind that I am going on holidays for the next two weeks, so I wouldn't be able to look at it when I get back. Nonetheless if you find this subject matter to diffcult I hope that you can make a contribution to the project in different areas.

Peace and Longlife. Teiresias84 09:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
