Verbatim?[edit]

This article appears to essentially lifted verbatim from http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/bluford-gs.html . Although NASA material may be free of copyright, that doesn't mean it doesn't need to be reworked to make it an acceptable encyclopedia article. As the article now stands, it is far from being so. -- Viajero 10:04, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Agreed. Thanks for your edits this morning! What do you think of the article now that you've made a pass through? -- Ke4roh 19:01, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Genealogy[edit]

While doing my genealogy I was tracing my Maternal side & found Mary Bluford & Benjamin Pratt being my grt grt grand father married out of Newberry South Carolina. Is that a potential bloodline? 2601:40B:8400:B5D0:389E:BBAD:755F:E850 (talk) 17:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with copy/paste in Air Force section[edit]

It says he "attended pilot training at Williams Air Force Base, and received his pilot wings on January 19" but does not specify what year, and overall it seems like it was lifted and chopped from its source such that the content is mangled. MyIP19216811 (talk) 04:58, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
