It would probably be better to modify the block qtn that I posted re the Rumsfeld press conference to a summary; more wiki-ish. Billbrock 05:20, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Looks okay to me. Perhaps down the road when the incident has faded from the public consciousness some, it could be drawn back into a summary paragraph. DanielM 02:03, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I hope this episode never fades from the public consciousness. Thats a ballsy move on his part.

[edit] Order of the sacred treasures of japan?

Does he really have this medal? He's not on the list of known recipients on that medal's page- it seems like a Japanese award.

[edit] Added LGBT Portal to Comments about gays

I added the LGBT portal on the section about Pace's comments on gays --Allyn 02:18, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Not a bad idea - however, you added the infobox. I added the portal which is smaller, less intrusive and seems more appropriate to this comment. ZueJay (talk) 02:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Educational Information

The program for the Senior Executives in National and International Security program at Harvard is a two-week program where officials come to discuss issues and share viewpoints. One does not receive institutional credit. Mentioning it as part of Pace's education (saying he "attended" Harvard) is misleading, as was the discussion of the Georgetown Seminar. Educational information should be limited to institutions where Pace spent considerable time or earned a degree; this is not the case with Harvard certainly, although I am less sure about the seminar at Georgetown. I deleted these references. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.84.61.130 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 3 April 2007 UTC.

[edit] Confusing "Vandalism" with breaking news?

MSNBC's reporting that Pace is out at JCS; I was pleasantly surprised to see the article already had that, but now someone has decided that's "vandalism" and removed it?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Andersonblog (talk • contribs)

I checked at the time that I reverted it and didn't see any news on it, so I removed it. Plus, it said that he was no longer Chairman (which is incorrect) and that he had been removed by the SecDef (which is incorrect). JCO312 17:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

i think this page should be protected manchurian candidate 17:35, 8 June 2007 (UTC) Bold text

Yeah, I think this page might need to be protected. People who are not checking the news carefully think Pace is already out, and have made that change, incorrectly. He's still the JCS chair, and his successor hasn't even been formally nominated yet, only proposed. I'm going to change his status to current chair again, if someone else hasn't already.

[edit] Let's not overstate this

The Secretary of Defense has said that he intends to advise the President not to renominate General Pace, and to instead nominate Admiral Mullen. This does not mean 1) that General Pace is no longer the Chairman, 2) that the President will or will not renominate General Pace, 3) that Admiral Mullen is General Pace's "successor." There remains a nomination, hearings, and confirmation by the Senate and the retirement of General Pace in September before some of those changes can be made. Reporting information is one thing, predicting the future, even good predicitions, is another. JCO312 17:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

The subsection was titled "Retirement", which doesn't seem appropriate for the story as it is unfolding. I changed it to "Possibly no 2nd term", but I'm open to changes/discussion. I've added citations to verify the story. I've not seen much editing the hour or so before I added references, so I didn't semi-protect the page. It does bear keeping an eye on. — ERcheck (talk) 19:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I tried for a slightly more professional title. I'm still not thrilled with it though. JCO312 19:30, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

It says he commands 2nd Battalion 1st Marines. Isn't it a bit outdated? --Tigga en 05:53, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

That space is meant to list all a persons previous commands. It isn't meant to be present tense. JCO312 18:31, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
