 * Comment I am sorry for your loss but wikipedia is not the place for this TonyBallioni 17:11, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Toni, I read today that WIKIPEDIA is banning Congressional IP Addresses becauses they are using WIKIPEDIA to edit, I wish to prtest my entry under the Secretary's Page because it is accessible to his staff who might wish to reply to me and the issues are relevant to Homeland Security. My feeling is that public officials should not be permitted to post articles on WIKI without a contact address. You are not permitting access my content simply because it does not fit criteria you deem outside the standard concept, Wikipedia should encourage discussion, should be open to information and should be able to be seen as an example of how people are confronted with immovable bureaucracies, I do need a permanent record of my efforts. I think if it bothers you you should take this one more step please send it to a Federal Law Enforcement Agency, The Department of Justice or FBI, at least I have a record you sent it, no one can say I did not or try to send the letter to The Secretary, to The White House, to The Company, To Your Senator, let it be an open experiment, sort of how WIKIPEDIA is an open information source. Crimes on the high seas are very difficult to resolve, this situation was compounded, crime on high sea, death on military base, transport to Germany by another branch, removal of property by company, company refers to Coast Guard, Coast Guard to Committee, let the readers who chose to challenge themselves probe the matter. It could happen to any woman married abroad to a US Seaman, my advantage is my citizenship in the USA and my ability to take this as far as I can. I am also attempting to file a Writ In Pauperis at The Supreme Court of the United States of America. I was hopin someone on The Secretary's Staff would have the opportunity to read it and complain personally to me if the material was not in their parameter of interest. It is in their domain of responsibility. Although the work is crude, it is detailed enough to be admissable as evidence and I do respond to email also the Justice Department and the Senators mentioned know my address and phone number. Tony, this is a very unusual situation and I don't have millions and millions of dollars to fight the injustice, I do have one shot to show people that areas of accountability work two ways, this is what I have to say, give them an opportunity to respond to me, or sue me if they will. This isn't a hateful work, it is really necessary to have an outlet and a record and possibly a resource for some other woman in the future. Please let it remain, why is it in our Democracy it is so difficult to achieve a reply from those who are after all, in public service. My letter is serious, my information is serious, the geocities are accurate to the best of my memory and ability. If the information becomes inaccessible, investigations will never continue, the problem will be buried, and I am only trying to bury my husband. This is a flaw in the system, I am a consequence of the flaw. We are free, are we not, to address the flaws? Give The Honorable Secretary an opportunity to verify it ,This is my moral obligation to my family Thanks Kathryn Coluzzi 703-862-2309 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kathryncoluzzi (talk • contribs)
 * As I mentioned bellow I am not a sysop I did not delete your page (I requested it but I did not make the decision.) I have explained my reasoning bellow and referred you to WP:NOT. I will not contact you outside of Wikipedia, so please direct ALL further correspondence to the sysop who deleted the page. TonyBallioni 19:42, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Kathryn, I'm the admin who deleted your letter when it was first posted to Wikipedia. I really condole with your grief, but this site has one specific purpose: creating a free encyclopedia. Unfortunately, we cannot publish information outside of our scope, no matter how important it may seem to some of our visitors. If you'd like to have your letter sound loudly - send it to the press, that would be the best course of actions to attract public attention. Max S em 19:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Reply to note about open letter
While I am extremely sorry for your loss and the trouble you have been through wikipedia is not a place for open letters to high ranking officials in the U.S. government (I suggest you contact your states Senators and your representative in congress.) Also I was the first person to spot the page in recent changes and i tagged it for speedy deletion that is why the above not has my name; I was not however the only person to believe this page was deleted because I am not a sysop and I would ask that you direct any of your complaints about the deletion to the sysop who deleted your letter (you can find out who that is by checking the deletion log) TonyBallioni 01:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Max, My letter belongs in an encyclopedia as an example of Failures of The Jones Act which have shoddy chains of evidence and accountability for the remains of Merchant Seaman but certainly have the ability to seize properties of missing seaman for placement in the public trust which has no oversight. I also have documentation, will take a polygraph and know I am an example of what happens when the system breaks down http://www/geocities.com/coluzzijosephmissingperson My situation is a precedent but will never be resolved until someone replies to me. I have sent the letter to the media, and will continue to send the letter to the media, some have been published. As a journalist I know what I'm up against, what is the local angle? Rockefeller and his friends have strong media influence in WV if jornalists want access they go with the prevailing wind. The people involved do not reply. I have had a few e-mails from law enforcement who are "investigating" but so far no results. I have Wikki e-mailed letters, have looked up zip codes and apologized to US COngressmen and US Senators for using a hotel address in their District to access their offices. The reality is that no one wants to deal with it other than a few United Press People, The Richmond Times, The Boston Globe and a newspaper near a port city in California. It is a situation which easily goes to the bottom of the pile of things to be considered. This is an election year, even those who try to assist me have a million priorities, at least with the web page I will be able to contact my late husband's attorney and have some record that I HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO REMAIN IN TOUCH WITH AGENCIES AND CABINET MEMBERS WHO CAN ACHIEVE RESULTS> Max, this is a real situation. It is horrifying. I am living a nightmare which we assume is reserved for people who are in Undeveloped countries where citizens have no rights. Do you want to send it to the newspapers yourself? MY phone is 703-980-2834 pay per minute. Could you forward the letter for comment to the Secretary? It would be a responsible bit of research for someone who considered The Jones Act and the Merchant Shipping Industry to be a subject of research. Please, among your contacts you can find someone independent enough to get it through to the parties involved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kathryncoluzzi (talk • contribs)
