an Officer. In 1946, Major Kurt Chew Een Lee [Chinese/American was Commissioned an Officer. While categories such as "Regular-Marine", " Drafted-Marine" and " Reserve-Marine" are important, I'm not clear how The "First" Title should apply when attempting to answer the question of " Who was the First". Additionally, it should be noted in his "Bio", Major Lee's Final Services and Memorial was held at Arlington National Cemetery Sept.30th 2014 at 11:00 AM, of which I attended. Personally to avoid confusion,for the 2nd and 3rd such designations it would be fair to say " was one of the first three "minorities" to be Commissioned. Then categories such as "First Asian/American"....."First Chinese/American"......"First African/American" may be applied respectively. I think though it is disingenuous to leave duplicate claims for the same designation. For example: Outright Statements like "First Non-White" applied to Major Kurt Lee is clearly FALSE.

current one for the "Cryonics Institute" I can't change it because its all in polish and I am unfamiliar with wikipedia. This can be verified by anyone who checks my the companies web site. www.cryonics.org. How do I fix this so the correct logo comes up in searches? How do I fix and update the polish website if I don't even speak the language? I have had my tech dept fix the English version. Why cant we fix the polish version to match it? Any help would be appreciated thanks CI President

found any map of that era that has the name MACEDONIA in this area. Yet the official Serbian maps that I have found on the Internet scribe "VARDARSKA" in this former Serbian/Yugoslavian geographical part. This until 1942!!!! Since when did the term "Republic of Macedonia" is valid? Is valid during the Tito regime rise to power after WWII, purely because of the cold war politics in the Balkan area!!!

Then of course there is the Application of the Title who was the first "Ever" Minority to be Commissioned an Officer in the Marine Corps ?

Dear editors: After hundreds of posts on WikProject talk pages, I finally noticed the above text, which appears to be a standard message. I have frequently used a link to a page about which I want to leave a notice as the section heading. No one has ever called me on it. Does this cause a problem

Well, a history merge won't work here, since the two pages have overlapping history, and besides there is no content in the history of the redirect, so the simplest thing seems to be to make note of the categories, move the draft over the redirect, and then re-add the categories. I will do this.
