providing references in the hope of deleting issues statement for site on Mark Angelo

Dear Wiki editors,

              I am writing as Mark Angelo, the subject of this site in my name. I have had trouble getting this message to go through so I apologize for any replication that may have occurred. I first came across this page several years ago, and while I don’t know who wrote the initial post, I was pleased that it was a largely accurate account of my river conservation work. 
              Today, I opened up the page again and saw for the first time that you were asking for additional verification through an “issues statement” at the top of the posting. Consequently, in case it’s of use to you, or site contributors, I have attached close to 20 references verifying all the various points that contributors have mentioned. In addition, there are many, many more references (ie. academic papers, newspapers articles, and TV stories) that could be accessed. 
              My hope is that this might enable you to remove the issues statement you’ve attached (and, as you can appreciate, the strongly worded third bullet would be irksome to any living person who was the subject of such a site).
              I appreciate that, by adding such issue statements, you aim to complete or improve a site. But to keep such statements for a period when they’re unwarranted can also reflect on well intentioned contributors and well as the subjects they write about.
              I hope this helpful. Thanks for your efforts. I have signed below. Mark Angelo
