This article currently has just one stated source, the official U.S. military bio for Charles C. Campbell. As with some other military bio articles, I see at least two problems: 1.) the official U.S. military bios are likely to be slanted, in that they do not convey information that would reflect poorly on the military (compare the official bio of Frank Kelso, involved in the Tailhook scandal, vs. a better written wikipedia article on him using several other sources), and 2.) the article does not show which material is copied. Copied material should be in quotes (quotation marks or set in block quote formatting), to separate from wikipedia editor wording of consensus views and to separate from new Original Research that may creep in as the article is edited over time. Hence I mark this article with the "refimprove" tag.
This is not an issue of copyright violation, I believe that the source is public domain. It is an issue of proper referencing, including avoiding the appearance of plagiarizing, but for other good referencing reasons as well. There are other perspectives than mine on some of these details. See Talk at WP:REF for other current discussion. doncram ( talk) 17:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I have personally met this guy. If anything, I would like to know more positive information about him. 98.181.47.117 ( talk) 21:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
This so called General is a real POS. He ducked the blame for Wanat and hung the Lt. in charge of the forward operating base out to dry. I hope to God that enough people see the Dateline article about how the Army left these guys at a FOB that was undefensable with no air or ground support to die. 9 killed and 29 wounded because of Army stupidity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.178.80.43 ( talk) 03:03, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
Funeral arrangements are reportedly being handled by Osborn Funeral Home in Shreveport, Louisiana. As of 12 February 2016 they have not yet posted an obituary for Charles C. Campbell, but their site should be checked later for updates. — Quicksilver T @ 07:16, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
