Gasparilla Island Lights
I guess my reaction to your edits on Gasparilla Island Lights has been a bit abrupt, and I apologize for not explaining better. The name of the article is sort of a compromise among the several different names that have been used for the various lights on the island. Alternative names are handled via redirects to the article. The newspaper article you cited states that the Coast Guard has not approved the name changes yet. Once approved, the new names can be added to the article with information as to when the names were changed. It doesn't look good to have the first mention of the name of the subject of an article to be something different from the title of the article. Once the name changes have been approved by the Coast Guard, we can see how best to accommodate the changes, which may include moving the article to a new name. -- Donald Albury 15:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I just realized that you are connected with the lights. You need to be familiar with our conflict of interest guideline. While I don't see any particular problem with what you've done so far, it may be best if you raise changes you want to make on the article's talk page rather than editing the article yourself without prior notice. It also appears that the Bocanut Telegraph is a website run by your organization. In my opinion, this means that it should not be used as a reliable source. (See also Verifiability.) If I understand correctly, changes to names of lights are published in the Notices to Mariners. That would be a better source for any name changes. -- Donald Albury 21:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
