Significant chunks of this article have been copied from uboat.net. For instance, compare the 5th patrol section with this.

Information given in the 4th patrol section does not tally with what the source cited says, and looks like it may have copy and pasted from another U-boat article unamended. -- Malleus Fatuorum 18:02, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

No info from the 4th patrol came from the article about the ship that it sank. I'll rewrite the 5th patrol section now.-- Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 18:05, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Was it properly attributed when it was copied here? See WP:Copying within Wikipedia. – xeno ^talk 18:13, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

If linking it to the main article is then yes.-- Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 18:15, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

No, it isn't. Please see the link I provided. – xeno ^talk 18:16, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Ok then, how would I go about fixing that then?-- Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 18:19, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply
