[edit] References Please

This well-written and informative article appears credible. However, references and citations are in great need.Fishdecoy 03:21, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I see that substantial amounts of copy for this article have been copied and pasted from the US Coast Guard site: http://www.uscg.mil/pacarea/pstar/pstar.html. Just as one might copy a photograph from a U.S. gov't site, unless restricted, I assume one may copy text from such sites. However, my instinct is not to do so. Instead, as Wikipedia editors, I would like to see us add value to our research from published resources by writing original copy. Any thoughts and comments from other editors on this question?

At the very least, this article needs to acknowledge where the text came from. Fishdecoy 14:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Need to add "the rest of the story" ...like the one about the blonde big breasted girl who was smuggled onboard in Australia and made the transit all the way back to Seattle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.77.201.166 (talk) 12:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
