You and your cavalcade of sockpuppets really need to stop removing the notes I'm leaving on the AfD, else we're likely to start blocking. Okay? ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ dedicated to making a happy man very old 08:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Cork Graham

I've added a total of three sources and added material to the Cork Graham article. I've deleted many (not all) unreferenced claims, and removed most (not all) wp:peacock language from what remains. Wht do you think?--Work permit (talk) 03:55, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

• I corrected some info, such as age of author, and spelling of island I verified from a copy of his memoir I checked out from the public library. Looks great Work permit! Wikicops (talk) 04:44, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Do you remember if his memoir had any sources, citations? Did it have a bibliography? By the way, I've made further edits, including more background on the #3 status at amazon--Work permit (talk) 23:43, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

It had a very large bibliography and a number of referencing footnotes. It also had direct quotes from US Dept. of State communications between embassies.Wikicops (talk) 06:03, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Since there is no reference of "Frederick" after 1984, tried to clarify name questions by make the referencing the Captain Kidd Incident Section" the articles of that time reference Cork Graham as Frederick Graham Jr. and then name on 2004 memoir in post-incident section.

Please discuss changes on the articles talk page.--Work permit (talk) 07:01, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I tried to keep them in the "Edit Summary"--trying to having this thing turn into a monster. It's not like Cork Graham is Ernest Hemingway or anything like that with a long history. Only two books that I can find through Google. Wikicops (talk) 07:03, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Don't you think we should keep the Sacred Art of Hunting in bibliography? It's an author compilation, which has a direct link to the start page of Graham's submission? Wikicops (talk) 07:08, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Lets discuss this on the articles talk page.--Work permit (talk) 07:10, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

The sacred heart of hunting is by James A. Swan.--Work permit (talk) 07:12, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

It's not a book BY Dr. James Swan. It's compilation of other writers, much more famous than Graham or Swan. Swan is only the editor who compiled them. So, authorship is owned by all who made submissions. Amazon only credits Swan. That's why I changed the link from Amazon to Google Books link.

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Cork Graham has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 06:50, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

In addition, I hope that I don't seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: it appears to impersonate police (cops). After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your views, for instance, your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

There are several options available to you:

• We can talk about it, here.
• You can abandon the contributions made under this name and create a new account that meets our username policy and addresses the concern(s) noted above.
• Or, if you want to keep your contributions history under a new name, then you should visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the instructions there.

If we can't resolve this on our own, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process. Thanks.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 07:02, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

So many conversations. I've added edit summaries to along the way, except for last removal. Since author goes by Cork Graham thought it best to track references to "Frederick Graham Jr.", "Cork Graham", and "Frederick 'Cork' Graham" in actual body text. Please review.
