CPT William Swenson[edit]

Should there be mentioned actions by CPT Swenson, woes actions are under review for possible Medal of Honor awarding? --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 03:47, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would easily and relevantly fit into the "Aftermath" section. TomPointTwo (talk) 06:34, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Partisan sources[edit]

I have concerns that this article lacks credibility due to a lack of sources and an over-reliance of partisan sources. Too many of the sources are derived, directly connected or funded by the subject of the article article, and in some cases might constitute self-publishing WP:ABOUTSELF and is a serious credibility issue. The sources concerned seem reliable and it is not against Wikipedia's guidelines to include partisan sources, within the context it is understandable; but if no other sources are found or exist I will add a WP:PARTISAN banner to this article as per Wikipedia policy.

The following sources may qualify as Partisan: militarytimes.com Dan Lamothe. Jonathan S. Landay www.stripes.com (Almost certainly partisan)

No less than 7 separate citations are all attributed to a single source "Dan Lamothe"- and I believe that all the publications are just different branches of the same parent company [[1]], effectively they are one source but this may not be apparent to readers. Four citation all come from "Jonathan S. Landay" who it seems was brought with the US forces as an embedded reporter, his relationship with the subject is not clear to readers or clarified in the citations.

The following source is poor and I believe it should be removed, as it cites neither an identifiable author or primary source. It makes specific claims- I can't find any other source to verify and I have serious concerns about the accuracy and credibility of this source. https://www.army.mil/medalofhonor/swenson/battlescape.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.221.194.85 (talk) 07:48, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
