Line 1:

'''Frederic Mosley Sackett''' ([[December 17]], 1868-[[May 18]], 1941) served as a [[United States Senator]] from [[Kentucky]] and [[ambassador]] to [[Germany]] during the [[Hoover Administration]].

The article contains the text, "Near the end of Jomon period, villages and towns became surrounded by moats and wooden fences. Some remains were found with head and arrow injuries. Battles were fought with weapons like sword, sling, spear, and bow and arrow."

He was born in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. His father was a wealthy wools manufacturer. He attended the public schools in Providence. He graduated from [[Brown University]] in 1890 and from [[Harvard Law School]] in 1893.

Is "sword" correct? I thought Jomon people did not work metals, and that swords came in with the Yayoi.

He was admitted to the bar in 1893 and began practice in [[Columbus, Ohio]]. Shorltly after he moved to [[Cincinnati, Ohio]] and then to [[Louisville, Kentucky]]. He practiced law until 1907.

In 1898 he married [[Olive Speed]], the daughter of [[James Breckenridge Speed]], who was part of a wealthy and prominent Kentucky family.

A 2-year segment of the 1000-year military history of Japan. Turns out they were forced to attack at Pearl Harbor because US wouldn't sell them any more scrap metal. Needs beefing up. [[User:Ortolan88|Ortolan88]]

Although he began as an attorney, he gradually became involved in his wife's family business, the mining of coal and the manufacture of cement. He served as president of the Louisville Gas Co. and of the Louisville Lighting Co. from 1907-1912. He was involved with the Board of Trade of Louisville, serving as president in 1917, 1922, and 1923. He was also director of the Louisville Branch of the [[Federal Reserve Bank]] from 1917-1924. During the [[First World War]], he served as federal food administrator for Kentucky from 1917-1919. This led to a friendship with the directory of the national food administrator, [[Herbert Hoover]]. Afterwards he was a member of the Kentucky State Board of Charities and Corrections from 1919-1924.

He was elected as a Republican to the United States Senate in 1924 and served from March 4, 1925, to January 9, 1930, when he resigned, having been appointed Ambassador to Germany by President Herbert Hoover. He served from 1930 to 1933, when he resigned. Afterwards, he resumed his former business activities. He died of a heart attack while visiting [[Baltimore]], and is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville.

How about starting with the Rape of Nanking? [[User:Ortolan88|Ortolan88]]

I don't see how making snide comments about how incomplete and ''biased'' my article is, within 30 seconds of the first edit is not jerkish. [[User:Vera Cruz|Vera Cruz]]

:I didn't look at the date, I looked at the article. I commented on what I saw, then added a suggestion, as you requested. I thought someone else working on the article (which, after all doesn't belong to you in any sense) would be interested in the suggestions I was making. That is the purpose of the pages and that is how I am using them. [[User:Ortolan88|Ortolan88]]

:Recent edits eviscerating the article pretty much shows us where Vera Cruz is coming from. Since he is also a troll, I am dropping out of all articles where he is involved. Yes, Vera, that gives you the power to run me out take over any article I'm interested in. [[User:Ortolan88|Ortolan88]]

Hi Ortolan. See my comments on one of Vera Cruz's other military history articles. Here too, it is essentially plagiarized from the www.ibiblio.com site.
