Hi Pepkoka,

Some of the changes you made to the "People's Park" article are good ones, however many fall in the category of "original research," which is not permitted on Wikipedia. Also, you have injected a conversational tone, which doesn't quite work. I've cleaned some of your edits up and removed others. Apostle12 05:04, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, Pepkoka, you have injected a clear bias into an article that we have struggled to make neutral. Your insistence on calling those who protested the fencing of People's Park "citizens," and not "protestors," is but one example. Other edits just don't work at all, which is why I have reverted your second set of edits.

Also, the birth of People's Park did not occur "at the same moment" as the University acquired the necessary funds to build their proposed playing field; it is enough to say the two events were approximately coincident.

If you insist on making extensive, wholesale revisions, please provide references. Thank you. Apostle12 08:46, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again,

Thanks for your kind words regarding the People's Park article. I and the other editors have endeavored to achieve a balanced point of view, and I hope we have mostly succeeded.

I too was a witness to the events. I helped build the park that first day. Also, Alan Blanchard and his wife Shiela were good friends, and it was sad to see him blinded. And I was tear-gassed in Sproul Plaze during the memorial commemoration after James Rector died from his gunshot wounds.

It is interesting, I think, to see that Reagan (whom I did not support in his presidential bid largely because of of his aggressive actions during People's Park) may have learned a degree of moderation after Bloody Sunday. He did, after all, end up taking a rather conciliatory approach during his confrontation with the Soviet Union, especially in his efforts to develop a rapport with Gorbachev--the events of the late 1980's, over which Reagan presided, led to the demise of the Soviet Union and the successful conclusion of the the Cold War.

I have never met Mike Delacour, though I have read some of his writings; I have not been impressed, so perhaps you are correct that he is somewhat of a poseur.

Thanks again for your comments and your contributions to the article. Apostle12 03:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Worcester, Massahusetts

User, regarding your recent edits to Worcester, Massachusetts, I can't seem to discern your goals from the edits you've made. You seemingly arbitrarily delete and readd text, as well as insert nonsense phrases like "ho hum". Please provide edit summaries in the box below the edit box so that other users may discern your goals and assist. Thank you.--Loodog 03:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A Providence, RI revert

Sorry, my computer screwed up and it didn't let me leave an edit summary. I removed your inclusion of Worcester in the population density comparison, since it doesn't really fit so much with the other examples. I also removed your mention of Worcester as having a longer-standing minority presence. It's possible, but the source I have on the page now doesn't support it.

I also reverted some copy-editing in favor of the prose that was there before.--Loodog 17:52, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You left a message on my talk page for Daedalus969. That's not me, although I am a fan of his. Snowfire51 (talk) 02:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
