I am still trying to figure out how to added references and external links to the article. Guy Rankin is a key figure in the Disaster Housing Programs in the United States. He was an still is actively involved in many developments that benefit low income housing and people displaced by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ike.

Copyright problems[edit]

I removed the first paragraph of this article, which was substantially identical to http://www.patriotsbythelake.com/projecteam.html. I then noticed, however, that the remaining two paragraphs were very close to Rankin's bio at www.tcah.org/ranking.cfm, a now defunct page that was cached by Google on 31 August. The dates and the number of people served are different (tcah.org said, "In 2005, Rankin developed over 700 new affordable housing units," while the WP page said, "From 2006-10, Rankin developed over 1,000 new affordable housing units"), but the wording and the order of facts is otherwise very similar. I have left a notice on the talk page of the user who created the page. Cnilep (talk) 13:32, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi we own the copyrights to Patriots by the Lake website there hence there is no conflict of interest. Please let me know what proof or evidence do we need to show that we own both copyrights.
