Hiram Revels

My mother is a Revels and Hiram was her great Uncle, she is 91 years old. Hiram Revels was part Native American. From his writing, there is no documentation that there was any form of slavery in his family. He came out of North Carolina, my grandfather came from the Shoals in North Carolina. My Grandfather Claude Oscar Revels told my mother that Hiram was his Uncle and he considered himself Native American. They were Cherokee at that time which later became Lumbee. I believe that the government decided who was Indiana and who was not. I have seen official papers that show that my grandparents had their race changed in Virginia. Mr Plecker did as you stated and that idea was adopted by the Germans against the Jews. Do some more research.

Firstly, A) yes, I am just now reading this, B) thank you for using my link to post a new message, however, C) you put your message in the wrong location and used no links or references to page history, and D) as per my rules I shouldn't reply to you and really can't until I know what you're talking about. As food for thought though:

I assume you messaged me based on this message? A) When did I say he was a slave? B) When did I say he wasn't Native American? C) He lived in Indiana? D) ... stated what? E) I think you should try to edit a wiki more often. -PatPeter 04:52, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

US Army officer rank insignia

Hi PatPeter, I noticed you've started replacing the images of US Army officer rank insignia on various articles with the version that puts the rank insignia on what appears to be a shoulder epaulette (for example, 2LT, 1LT, CPT, MAJ, LTC, COL, etc.) I'm not entirely certain this is the best way to go, as 1) the insignia are easier to discern and are more distinct when presented as the larger image of the insignia's design alone, and 2) they are worn on many different uniforms in different ways (of which daily utility uniforms are worn the most often), and the "Class-A" style is on it's way out anyway. Can you shed more light on why you feel this change is necessary? Sincere regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 00:33, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
