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

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]
