Draft:Isaac Hulse

I am concerned that you moved this to an erroneous name. Please do not do that. I have returned it to the correct name Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 22:18, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The small copyright violations are being removed as I write. I would hate to see your work go to waste. Please solve those areas and resubmit. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 23:20, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the update. Re concern with copyright, I share your apprehension, but am not sure what text you alluding to. Can you please give me the author or photographer's name and I will be happy to take care of it.

One question if I may, I write and consult under my own name as: "John G.M. Sharp", John G.Sharp, etc is there a way I can avoid copyright future issues when I am quoting my own published work?

For example,

Sharp, John, The Recruitment of African Americans in the U.S. Navy 1839, Naval History and Heritage Command, 2019, https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/r/the-recruitment-of-african-americans-in-the-us-navy-1839.html and similar articles
