I have reverted the change you made to Florida, stating that it is the largest state east of the Mississippi River, because it is incorrect. As shown at List of U.S. states by area, Michigan is larger if total area is addressed, and if only land area (excluding coastal areas) is considered, Michigan, Georgia, Illinois and Wisconsin are each larger. Down in the geography section, it is noted that Florida is one of the largest states east of the Mississippi River, and only Alaska and Michigan are larger in water area, but it is not the largest.

Florida boasts 65,758 square miles of land mass and 3,800 miles of tidal shoreline."Rahiim03 (talk) 08:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear Sir: This response is regarding the changes I made to "Battle of Lake Okeechobee" a few days ago. This is to inform you and your staff that I bear NO RESPONSIBILITY for the other alleged "vandalisms" to the site that you have attributed to me regarding the 'messages' of supposed responses I made to others including those I allegedly made to a "mike Dirnt" or someone to that effect. Right now it appears that who ever made these messages has apparently hacked into my email/log on info, "stole" my log on id and submitted articles falsely attributed to me. Please note this as I make attempts to resolve the matter and would invite any assistance from you in stopping these violations. I am an FSU graduate and legitimate historian who has done much research on Florida history and would submit information ONLY if I can document its historicity. Thank You rahiim03

Article "Blue Fields Massacre" edit
I came across your article when I was looking through new contributions, and I'm sorry to tell you that it is nowhere near being ready to put in Wikipedia mainspace. It consists of only two sentences. It has no references at all, and it uses pejorative language like "half breed". I suggest having the article moved to your User space where you can take the time to build it fully before submitting it for inclusion. If you need a hand with that, let me know. --Gronk Oz (talk) 08:17, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

January 2019 edit
Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Seminole Wars, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 10:05, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
While sources indicate there were some Choctaw bands in Florida at various times, I have not seen any clear indication that they were in any area where fighting took place during the Seminole Wars. There is one report (from 1847) that there were four Choctaw men with the remaining Seminoles in the southern Florida (note that this was after the Second Seminole War ended, and before the Third Seminole War), but Choctaws are not mentioned at all in Mahon's History of the Second Seminole War, and I have not seen any mention of a Choctaw chief or band involved in any way with the war. Some scholars have speculated that "Choctaw" is a mistaken identification for another ethnic group. Even if a few Choctaws fought alongside the Seminoles (and I'm not convinced by what I've read), to say that the Choctaw nation was a belligerant in the Second Seminole War is equivalent to saying that the United States and the United Kingdom were belligerants in the Spanish Civil War because some of their citizens fought in the International Brigades. - Donald Albury 16:51, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
May 2019 edit
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Miami has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. - Donald Albury 14:56, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
