Hello,

Please don't create duplicate articles (known as "forks") at slightly different names. There should only be one article on a particular topic, and any alternate titles should be redirects. Accordingly, I have changed Judge London Steverson to a redirect to London Steverson, and the article Judge London Steverson. with a "." at the end has been deleted. -- Curps 07:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are no reference sources to cite, so far. i am writing from personal memory.Ichbinalj

Thank you for your help.There are photos and logs, journals, Coast Guard Academy yearbooks, such as Tide Rips 1968, and other documentary evidence of all the facts that are stated. I just sat down and started writing. I am pulling together the hard evidence to support all of the facts stated. Much of it is in the hands of Coast Guard custodians of records. Some of it I have. The challenge is scanning the photos and uploading them.Ichbinalj 20:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Black Cadets at the Coast Guard Academy.[edit]

Please respond to the comments posted here. Thanks -- Argon233 ^T _{_@} ^C _{_¶} ^U _{_∠} 22:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC) (Response) I will take a look at the comments referenced, and I welcome the opportunity to enter a dialogue on the subject of "Black cadets at CGA, then and now".22:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)10 April 2006[reply]

18 Apr comments from ichbinalj:The Four Class system appeared to work just fine until the female cadets arrived. The first females entered the Coast Guard Academy in 1976. Prior to 1976 the Four-Class System created an environment where rape would never have been thought remotely possible. Adding females changed the entire chemistry of the cadet corps. Life in the Cadet barracks was not the same anymore. Crossing the Sexual divide was much different from crossing racial lines. When Black male cadets entered the cadet corps in 1962, the Four Class System was not threatened. Strict discipline was maintained. There was no increased desire to fraternize across Class Lines. Putting women next door to sexually deprived virile young men at the height of their sexual development was tantamount to putting sheep in the lion's den. It was an invitation to feast. Having women in the cadet barracks, on the same floor, in the next room, and permitting closer interaction between classes, was a recipe for disaster. A lax disciplinary environment with fraternization between classes begged for rape or some form of sexual assualt. Moreover, there were other rapes long before Cadet Smith entered the Academy. One occurred onboard the Eagle on a cadet summer cruise in about 1978. It did not involve a Black cadet, male or female.(23:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC))

Image Tagging Image:BlackCadetsDSC02371.jpg[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:BlackCadetsDSC02371.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Hetar 04:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Coast guard academy-06.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Coast guard academy-06.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 10:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Coast guard academy-06.jpg[edit]

Hi. When you uploaded Image:Coast guard academy-06.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 21:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Clan Steverson[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Clan Steverson, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

File permission problem with File:Cols.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Cols.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
