Edit of Commandant of the Coast Guard Article
Welcome to Wikipedia. I reverted your edit to the Commandant of the Coast Guard article because of the dead reference link AND because I was unsure what point you were tring to get across. Your edit was tacked on to unrelated material and reads like an afterthought. I'm not disputing the information presented in your edit, but a rewording in a separate sentence would perhaps be a better way of conveying the information that you wish to include.

I'm going to let you sort it out in a way that will leave the information in the article but will read in a smoother more organized way.

I realize that starting as a new editor of Wikipedia can be intimidating, particularly when another editor is questioning your edits right off the bat. Hang in there and don't give up. Most editors here are fair in their assessments and will gladly help if asked.

You might want to practice a few edits on your own user page for practice like I did before editing an article, but in any case be sure to have fun doing it. Cheers... Cuprum17 (talk) 15:52, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
