Talk:Joshua Key (soldier)

message: Someone deleted this page while I was editing it.  I'll give my reason for it not being very good.  I'm in the process of reading his book The Deserter's Tale (Which I also cite as my reference many times).  So please, I am in the process of editing this page gradually.  If, next week, it doesn't meet your standards, then delete it.  However, I'm extremely tired right now, and I'll continue to edit this for the next week or so.  
Don't delete this page, at least not at the moment.

message: This page would be greatly improved if his claims were referred to as claims instead of facts...that is true.  And yet, it would be improved far more, if we just call it what it is:  Mr. Key is a poser, and a phony.  Anyone who has ever served in combat arms knows he is making this stuff up.  First off, who has ever fired an M16 Grenade Launcher?  I've never even heard of one.  Second, a simple check of publicly available records will show that the unit he claims to have been a part of wasn't in or near Fallujah at the time of the invasion.  How then can he claim to have been in Fallujah witnessing executions during the battle?  This isn't MASH...you don't just borrow a jeep and ride up the road to the next town to watch the battle...C'mon people...Do you really believe everything you read?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.110.76.20 (talk) 18:45, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Greetings Bobstuart:
The reason I deleted your Jan 1, 2010 contribution is based on the following Wikipedia policies.  Please read them to learn more about the policies of Wikipedia, thank you:
1.  Click here to see the following quote in # 3, which says that Wikipedia is not a soapbox for the following: 
"Scandal mongering or gossip. Articles about living people are required to meet an especially high standard, as they may otherwise be libellous or infringe the subjects' right to privacy. Articles should not be written purely to attack the reputation of another person."
2. Click here to see the following quote: "Wikipedia is not a place to hold grudges, import personal conflicts"
3. Click here to find the following quote: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true."
It may or may not be true that you have a legitimate conflict with Joshua, but Wikipedia is not the place for it. Please find another place to sort out that conflict. Thank you.
Peace,
Boyd
