== Battle of Fajardo ==

Hello, I see you expurgated the editorial corrections and detailed account I wrote for what you refer to as the "minor" battle of Fajardo, apparently deeming it too long. Be that as it may, as a point of historical accuracy, the 28 men and officers who held the Fajardo lighthouse and repelled the Spanish attack were US Navy sailors from the USS Amphitrite. The were not US Marines. No disrespect to the US Marines, that's just a fact. The marine involvement was limited to a landing the next morning after the battle was done and the Spanish troops were gone led by Lt. Lejeune from the USS Cincinnati.

For the actual history by the men what were there, in particular, Lt. Atwater who led the boat parties from Amphitrite and was SOP(A) here is a link to the Annual Report of the Secretary of the Navy from 1898. The relevant entries start at the entry on p. 650 by Capt. Fred Rodgers of USS Puritan which the link below will direct you to. The report by Lt. Atwater appears at pp. 652-657. The Fajardo lighthouse "battle" was fought by 2 boatloads of bluejackets from the USS Amphitrite, no other ship. The monitor, USS Amphitrite, did not carry a US Marine complement.

http://books.google.com/books?id=UStHAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA651&lpg=PA651&dq=uss+amphitrite+1898+fajardo+annual+report+secretary+navy&source=bl&ots=k9L2B89Xwb&sig=2K28SIZcQQnQmECWsoL6f-Btegw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6KNGUuWTArTC2gWMioGwDA&ved=0CCoQ6AEwATgK#v=onepage&q=uss%20amphitrite%201898%20fajardo%20annual%20report%20secretary%20navy&f=false


If you can provide a reference to support the statement that the 28 men and officer who fought the Battle of Fajardo were "marines", please let me know. Otherwise, for historical accuracy, the article should refer to "bluejackets" or "sailors".

This user "talk" page belongs to the first Wikipedian recognized by a legislative body for his contributions to Misplaced Pages.
On November 20, 2007, the 23rd Senate of Puerto Rico recognized this Wikipedian for being, "one of the main contributors of content related to Puerto Rico in the open online encyclopedia known as Misplaced Pages".
“Para expresar el reconocimiento y agradecimiento del Senado de Puerto Rico al señor Antonio Santiago por su dedicación y entrega a la causa de ayudar a difundir a través de los nuevos medios electrónicos de difusión, información sobre distinguidos puertorriqueños y, en particular, aquellos que han servido con distinción en la milicia."Senado de Puerto Rico; Page: 37205}.doc

I BELIEVE

I believe that at this time and age, Misplaced Pages should require that all those who wish to edit or add to our project should be registered users. It is easy for an unregistered user to vandalize an article which many of us have gone through a lot of trouble to write, then immediately make a copy as if that is what was truly written, thereby dis-crediting our project and adding to the reality that ours is an unreliable encyclopedia. The fact is that the majority of the vandalism is caused by un-registered users who have nothing better to do with their lives. If Misplaced Pages wants to keep it's good and honest contributors who love to share their knowledge with the world in general and wants to gain some sense of being a reliable encyclopedia, then it must do something to protect it's contributors and the articles which they have written from the constant vandalism going on, otherwise what's the use of staying here?
