Please stop making changes to the hazing article that are not supported by sources and please stop changing the header of the section that is specifically about Joseph Rocha. Eddie&#39;s Teddy (talk) 13:32, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Some of the sorces you sitr have the information wrong. I was ther during this scandal and I am trying to make sure that it si correct. For example Toussaint was a Chief Master at arms at the time NOT a second class. Also..Rocha was not the only one being abused and this page makes it look like he was the main victim...he wasn't. By the way just out of curiosity, what makes yoy interested enough in this story to make a wikipedia page on it?
 * If you were there during the hazing then you have a conflict of interest regarding the subject matter. This means that you should exercise caution when editing the article to avoid injecting your own point of view. Per WP:V, the standard for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. We go by what is reported in verifiable reliable sources, not our own personal knowledge or opinion. There is a section on Rocha because the sources available discuss Rocha specifically. Other abuse against other sailors is discussed in other sections of the article. Eddie&#39;s Teddy (talk) 13:45, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Good point....I will leave it alone even with its imperfections. Although I have not read any articles that say that Toussaint was a second class in Bahrain. He was a Chief at the time. Other than that if you want it to be incorrect that is up to you i guess.

you can take that top box off. Nothing is left from what I have edited. I am still wondering why you are so interested in this story.
