[edit] Copied from my user talk

Dear John, I am a Falklands War veteran and was a Rapier Missile operator in the War. I have been trying to edit to totally incorrect and insulting information about our Rapier Kills. It is in Official Regimental history that we shot down 14 enemy aircraft and possibly six further. I personally shot down Two aircraft at San Carlos and wrote about this in my book `Watching Men Burn` http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0955285453?&camp=2486&creative=8882&linkCode=wey&tag=amawid-21 I also have published on the internet the Official War diaries of the Bty and all of our kills on my web Blog http://rogue-gunner.blogspot.com/2008/01/official-regimental-record-of-t.html I am extremely angry at this misinformation and I intend writing to Anderson, Duncan, The Falklands War 1982, about his outrageous claims, he may have even got his information from a source such as this as one time it was claimed on these pages that we only managed ONE kill. I will not lay idle and watch this Bastardisation of our proud history as long as I have a breath in my body.

Bring on your reliable sources and let's have a look at them. Be careful not to get blocked for WP:3RR. --John (talk) 22:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi again. I am writing to you because I felt my first reply lacked the proper decorum owed to a Falklands veteran. If you are truly the writer of this book you must have witnessed amazing things. However, there are various reasons why you should not add your own first hand material to Wikipedia. They are summed up here. Best wishes to you, --John (talk) 04:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
