 * Looks like we're online at the same time. Please be careful of "although"-type introductory sentences; we don't want to "frame" things too much.  Check out Wp:npov.  I do agree with representing the TCM view adequately.  thx, Jim Butler(talk) 04:32, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Aloha, and thanks for your recent edit on the Hawaii Sovereignty Movement article. Although not a sovereignty supporter, I agree completely with the accuracy of your edit as historical fact. However, another user of a certain ideological disposition, and with whom I have had running edit battles, may be likely to continue to revert this change, since for this person the overthrow was legitimate. In short, your continued vigilance on this and the other Hawaii articles would be most welcome. Cheers, Arjuna 20:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Mahalo for your edits, Lpinoakland, but I've reverted some of them as POV pushing. As you can read in PL103-150, section 3 clearly states, '''Disclaimer. Nothing in this Joint Resolution is intended to serve as a settlement of any claims against the United States.'''. It is inappropriate to characterize it as an "admission" of any kind without making it clear who is characterizing it that way.

Although there are certainly those who believe very strongly that it was an admission, simply stating that without attribution is POV pushing, I'm sure you'll agree. That being said, I'm happy to try and address any concerns you may have regarding wording, and look forward to your help in making it a more NPOV article. --JereKrischel 05:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
