Hello: I reverted the probably good faith edit that you made at Felix de Weldon. Here is why. You can not add information to an article in ALL CAPITOLS. Around here that is considered to be (1) SHOUTING, and (2) bad form. I suspect that you have good information to add to the article and do not intend to do either of the above 2 things. If you wish, contact me at my talk page, or here (I will put you on my watchlist and know if/when you reply, and we can do something about this. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 16:56, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Relax John, I did contact you on your talk page about 2 minutes after I removed the section that you added. I will post what I am posting here there too. As I recall, you added a long section all in CAPITOLS. That would be removed by any editor who found it. Secondly, you did not provide a source or reference for your posting. That you know this to be true is not enough. We have editors that will tell you that they know that man has never walked on the moon. That the holocaust never happened. Etc. You need to come up with a source to back what you say. I am on your side. I am a sculptor historian and know that this sort of travesty happens a lot. let address it, but we must do so according to wikipedia's guidelines.

Hello When I read de Weldon's page I was quite upset at the lack of any reference to my father. I used capitol's to high lite the changes I made. I did not print out the changes I made. If you still have them would you please send them to me. As to proof of my Father's work I have photo's, newspaper articles, and my own experiences working with my father. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. John Petsco Sr.

Okay, so before we launch into what ever we are about to get into I'm going to make you a bit better an editor. After you have written an answer to me, here, you type 4 of these ` things. That is the top left key on your keyboard, with the shift key down. 4 of them. That will sign and date your postings. Before you do that, go to your user page and type anything there. "Hello" is nice. This will change your user page and signature from the current red link into a blue link. Pretty much all experienced editors are blue links, you will maybe feel better, I will for sure. Then AFTER doing that go to the Felix de Weldon article and click on the "History" button at the top. That will show a record of all the edits made to the article, including yours. Clicking (I think) the (prev) next to your name will bring up the edit that you made. That's plenty for now, I'll track your doing these things, some of them anyway, because I have those pages marked on my "Watchlist" Remember, if everyone used all CAPITOLS so that their edits would stand out, everything would be in ALL CAPS. Please keep in mind that in this world, the wikipedia world, and one that you want to succeed in, all capitols is considered rude. See you later. Carptrash (talk) 03:00, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Revision to de Weldon page

Hello I am John Petsco Sr., son of William Bill Petsco who was the ghost sculptor for Felix de Weldon for about forty years. Also the sculptor with the assistance of a Mr. Santini ( I believe this is the correct spelling for the cast stone Iwo Jima statue at Quantico Va. Mr. de Weldon was the promoter for the statues. He made small statues usually about 12"high and had my father make the full size one's. I would like to correct de Weldon's page and get my father recognized for his work. My father also did many other monuments in his life time of over 80 years. Please excuse my lack of computer skills as I am 75 years old and not that conversant with computer etiquette. Again thank you for any help. John SRPETSCO (talk) 01:53, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Good evening J. Another wikipedia convention. If you reply to me here, start your answer with 2 of these : That will indent your answer from mine. I will then reply with 3 :, then you with 4, and then maybe 5 or perhaps start again with none.

Here is what I propose. let's do an article about your father. wikipedians are encouraged to NOT do articles about their fathers, so when it gets to be time to post it, I'll do it. To get it started I did this. User:Carptrash/William_Bill_Petsco

Just so that you know, I have also started an article about my father that can be found here Although not as old as you, I am 65, a good deal older than most of the other editors one finds here. Anyway, go over to that artilce and write in a birthdate, place and something like that. We'll build from there. Carptrash (talk) 06:54, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello C. I like your idea very much. Thank you for your help. I will try to write a mini biography on my father the way you did on yours. Thank you again. John — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.60.125 (talk) 01:18, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
