Badly transcluded

This article needs the attention of an expert. David Finn 04:28, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

I have no idea what you mean by that. What transclution? What expert? --Peter Schmitt 01:01, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Huh?
Transclusion means the inclusion of the content of one document in another document by reference.
An expert is someone who is familiar with a topic.
Random quote from article - Several informal reviewers have suggested that Sixth ColumnJohn W. Campbell, and another novel by Heinlein was closer to his own style.
Any more questions? David Finn 06:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Don't pretend, David. You know quite well that I do not need your explanations.
  • If you spot a misformed sentence then (best option) correct it yourself, or point to it and say that you do not know how to correct it. Don't ask for an unspecified expert for the whole article.
  • I still don't know where you spotted a "bad transclusion".
