As interesting and well put together as this article is, doesn't it violate WP:OR, being apparently largely based on material from The National Archives? —Simon Harley (Talk | Library). 12:32, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Understand the point, Simon. Could you add it to your Dreadnought Project if it does not remain here? Buckshot06 (talk) 20:13, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Simon, I understand your concern about original research, but my understanding of the copyright law is that the information, being factual, is not copyright, but the presentation (i.e the actual words) is. In this case, I have used the information, partly to verify other sources, and expressed it in my own words.Billwnsf (talk) 20:43, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
Pending settlement of Simon Harley's point above, I am going to merge and redirect the Black Hole of Baku article here, as it appears to be based on sources now deemed unreliable. However the references are reproduced below:

Casualties
editThere is no mention of the men from the Naval party who died whilst interned, according to Seaman Gunner Stan Smith's obituary only 14 of the 28 captured survived the ordeal with an additional 2 personnel dying after release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.15.60.189 (talk) 13:36, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
