[edit] Modifiying Discussion page

I noticed you removed what I had put in on the discussion page for the Coast Guard page. In Wikipedia, you are never supposed to remove information from a discussion page (even your own talk page!) that someone else wrote unless it violates copyright or is libelous. Discussion pages can be archived when they get too long but the content should not be changed --- Skapur

I didn't remove or change any comments. I combined similar sections into the same section for clarity and to show that the same issue has been an issue for a while, that it has been repeatedly been brought up. Otherwise you have one issue brought up in four different places on the discussion page. While we're talking, I just want to say good job on all the work you've done on the CG page. I'm still getting used to Wiki, but I've got the best intentions. Pesco 20:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
OK, I see what I did wrong. thanks for fixing it. --- Skapur

[edit] Autoblock of 152.121.17.5

IP address 152.121.17.5 has been blocked, and I think for decent reason. Could we have a soft-block instead (ie only blocks users not logged into an account)? Pesco 16:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reasons:

Block converted to anon-only, per request. Account creation is still frozen, but accounts grandfathered or registered elsewhere shouldn't have any problem editing. Feel free to throw another template if you have any more problems. Sorry for the trouble!

[edit] Response to Croquet / 28th Company

I responded to you here.

[edit] 2/m and 3/m rewrites

I thought this might be of interest, and well, I'm procrastinating: these rewrites are like pulling teeth. Fortunately, the existing articles are so bad that it'd be almost impossible to make them worse. :) Anyway, here's a second mate article that's within a couple of days of being ready for prime time. Feel free to scale it as you see fit. Cheers Haus42 03:25, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DC Meetup notice

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 22:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:MMA banner logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

[edit] Northwestern Michigan College Edit

Hello Pesco.

I noticed you have recently removed a paragraph from Northwestern Michigan College's wikipedia page because it did not conform to Wikipedia's NPOV. I am a journalist with Northwestern Michigan College's student newspaper the White Pine Press. My name is John Parker. The paragraph you removed was rather inflammatory. Could I ask you some questions about how you came across it, why you edited the page, and how you are affliated with Northwestern Michigan College? That would be very helpful, thank you Pesco!

Parke139 (talk) 22:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, sure. I came across the page because I have edited maritime-related pages in the past and I have them in my watch list. Northwest Michigan College is the home of Great Lakes Maritime Academy, so that's the connection that led to my previous edits. I saw the article name and previous editor's name on my watchlist. I saw that the account did not have a user or talk page. I often create talk pages for new users by putting a welcome message on a new user talk page. I also checked out the user's contributions, which led me to discover the nature of his edits. His other edit regarding the school's radio station was similar in nature and was reverted that day. I reverted the edit on Northwest Michigan College because, as you noted, it was an inflammatory edit that did not cite any references. I have no affiliation with Northwest Michigan College. The only motive for my edit was to preserve the reliability and integrity of Wikipedia. Thanks for your question, feel free to ask more if you have any. --Pesco (talk) 00:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello Pesco, I'd be interested in learning wiki better. That way I could upload verifyable docs to support the facts of NMC's failures to honor free speech and due process rights. Docs from the college, elected representatives of state and federal government,and federal governmental agencies. I am also an Eagle Scout. I was accepted as an alternate to the US Naval Academy by MI Senator Levin in 1972. The college's actions to deny due process and civil liberties disturbs me greatly. Many docs were shared with John Parker to encourage the college newspaper to cover these long-standing problems with the college.

I'm not sure that this message will get to you, its my first attempt to communicate through the website. I'd appreciate a response if you do get it. I can't promise that I'll check in again soon though.

Also, I no longer see my comment about the college radio station. Was this deleted, or moved to another page? Thank you.18:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)±Politicaldiscrimination (talk) 18:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
