Comment: if he passes #9 then its only ''just'' in my view. Let's break it down - ''"Were recognized by their peers as an authoritative source on military matters/writing."'' I suppose its comes down to "peers". Are the media his peers? Perhaps, perhaps not. Those SEALs who seem confident in his capacity to speak on their behalf (in a round-about kind of way) could be seen as "recognising" his authority as a source, as his peers. Its convoluted, but okay. Authoritative source? His willingness to talk about things other SEALs might otherwise never speak about publicly could be seen that way. Communities like that need spokespeople and SEALs, collectively (the legit ones), seem to be comfortable with him playing that role, even if he "appointed" himself. I'm probably not 100% there, but I'm more there than not

Comment: Meets  Criteria 9; Senior Chief Shipley (Ret.) is a recognized authority on Navy SOCOM. It is to be noted that this Wiki was initiated and edited by Daniel Alan Bernath, a phony Navy SEAL that Mr. Shipley has had the occasion to have had run-ins with in the past. Mr. Bernath also created a web site that he leads the public to believe is owned and operated by Mr. Shipley, http://www.extremesealexperience.us . On this site, which according to whois.com is owned by Bernath, Mr Bernath lampoons Mr. Shipley's business enterprise, http://www.exteremesealexperience.com. www.exteremesealexperience.com. This Wiki has had the one and only purpose of spreading lies, slander, and amounts to creating an attack page in violation of Wikimedia policies

Comment: Meets  criteria 9; Shipley is frequently brought on by news networks as a subject matter expert on military special operations, and within the military community (as well as the various military hangers-on communities...) as an authority, not just on special warfare but as one of the few readily available and easily verified source on who ''is'' and ''is not'' a Navy SEAL. There are at least hundreds, possibly thousands of impostors for every actual SEAL, and Shipley is one of the few sources who can and does confirm who is and is not fraudulently claiming one of his nation's highest honours

Comment: Meets  Criteria 9; This page was created before the confrontations with Mr. Bernath occurred. Mr. Bernath has since been found to be waging a continuous war of libel against those that have publically called him out, and this page has been included in his spree. It should not be removed simply because one man's angry, immature tantrums lead him to vandalize it.  —&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/138.163.106.72|138.163.106.72
