Hi there,
Thanks for reviewing my article. It's my first so I'm sure I will need some help with it, especially with associating references.
I do find it rather odd that this page would be flagged for copyright infringement of http://essmc.org.au/pat_mccumiskey_idf_m113_c+c.html when that webpage very clearly states that its source of reference is... Wikipedia. It is a straight copy & paste of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variants_of_the_M113_armored_personnel_carrier (the Australia section).
The paragraph within that on the M113A1 Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle (MRV) is what I am trying to expand upon with my page, using my own military service with those vehicles, my own photos, plus any additional information I can find. I am particularly trying to research the few remaining survivors, and list them here. I am only aware of 3 at this stage.
I'm not quite sure what i do with the page now - do i just resubmit it?
Cheers,

Hi, Jp-8000! It's taken an unconscionably long time, but I have now removed the copyvio template; unfortunately we are struggling with a backlog. This was a mistake, as you have pointed out; as we all know, mistakes do happen. I'm sorry if this one has kept you from working on the page you have started, with which I wish you every success!
