Georgiana

JimBobUSA, you reverted all of my edits to the SS Georgiana page. Since most of my edits had consisted of the addition of straight historical facts and well documented information with citations, my first reaction was that your deletion of everything I had inserted was simple vandalism. Therefore, I reverted it back. However, on retrospect, I realize that (in the section on the importance of the Georgiana wreck site) I had implied criticism of unnamed State officials for their failure to visit and inspect the Georgiana wreck site for over 40 years after granting a salvage license to the site. I agree, that wasn't neutral on my part, so I have removed my implied criticism and stated only the facts involved. I also realized that you might have also objected to the linking of George Trenholm, who was the Georgiana's legal owner, to the fictional Rhett Butler (which was my original research), so I changed that part too. However, I do mention the connection because the links between Trenholm and Mitchell's fictional character are now well established and are mentioned in a number of books by other historians, I will seek those books out and include references to them as well. Although I have been the compiler of much of the information on the Georgiana, virtually all of the information I have included about her is taken directly from contemporary newspaper articles, government documents, etc. and is not my "original work" in the sense that I did not create it or develop a theory from it. I plan to add citations to the original documents, so the source of the information will be clear. I hope my changes and efforts to cooperate are acceptable to you. You are certainly welcome to call me at 843 532-8222 to discuss your objections. You may also email me at hunleyfinder@yahoo.com. Sincerely, Lee HunleyFinder (talk) 16:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Yamashita

Any rationale for deleting the addition to Yamashita's GOld? The references to Professors that has determined it does not exist is really not good. How did they determine that? Dragon0128 (talk) 12:14, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Peralta Stones

Hey JimBob, thanks for your help in cleaning up. You may have seen that I spent a good bit of time rewriting and sourcing the article--I think I got just about all the reliable sources I could find in the article. There's a serious amount of disturbance going on, though, with some SPAs continuing to add unverified...well, blather, as if Wikipedia is an appropriate place to dump speculation and conspiracy theories. If you don't mind, can you help me keep an eye out? Thanks! Drmies (talk) 19:26, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Treasure hunting ELs

Hi JimBobUSA, the next time you deal with persistent vandalism such as this, consider requesting protection at WP:RPP. I went ahead and requested semi-protection on Treasure and Treasure hunting to try and stop the disruptive editing. ThemFromSpace 20:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

General JimBobUSA

I just wonder. Where do you get your facts from? It seems from nowhere and certainly not in compliance with Wiki policies. You article about Yamashita gold is pure invention. You obviously do not have the slightest idea about what really happened. Few people have and you are surely not one of them. You totally ignore recognized literature and the enormous amount of money and gold in small parts used by Lansdale for subversive activities and owned by (yes, would you like to know?) floating around and being hunted even today. Where do you think it came from? FidelityMagic (talk) 14:30, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
