Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews

I have tried to add in the account of Steward Brown who saw Smith walking onto the bridge before it went under; Brown's account of Smith walking onto the bridge is important because historians agree this was the last reliable sighting of Smith; http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_Smith_(sea_captain)&oldid=621730694

I have also added in information that there is debate on whenever Andrews was in the smoking room towards the end.

P.S., Contray to what DrKiernan and others think about me, I am not a sockpuppet and/or I do not want to be one. I just want to know how to edit and what is right and wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.246.61.54 (talk) 21:08, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Battle off Zuwarah, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tanker, Sailing vessel and Trawler. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Sanctions notification

Please read this notification carefully:
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

References

Thanks for all the updates you've done to Timeline of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant events. However, when it comes to referencing events, you only need as many references as it takes to verify each fact. If one reliable reference contains all the information in a sentence, then you only need that one reference. Unless the subject is highly controversial, likely to be challenged, or contains multiple facts that can't be cited to a single source, you only need 1 to 2 references. For more information, check out WP:REF. Coinmanj (talk) 02:03, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Welcome! I would like to also thank you for your contributions, however please take some time to learn how to use proper citations. My friend has made a help box:

Composing footnotes using the WP cite templates

(Summary of WP:FOOTNOTES section 3.1.)

Please note that bare URL footnotes – i.e. footnotes that contain only the website http address – are susceptible to link-rot, which means that if the website moves to a new domain with a new URL, the link will be broken and readers will be unable to read the citation.

1. First put the cursor at the point in the edit text where you want the footnote to go, then click "Cite" in the edit strip at the top of the Edit Page, then click "Templates" on the left, and a drop-down menu appears.
2. Choose "cite web" or "cite news" (for articles and websites), "cite book" or "cite journal", click and a box comes up.
3. Fill in the all details of the citation, then click "Preview" and "Show parsed preview" to see it looks right. (To correct anything, correct the box entries, then click the two "Previews" again.) In "cite book" remember to add the page number(s) of the book.
4. Click "Insert" and the citation automatically goes into the edit text. (It may not go in at the exact point where the cursor is if you use Firefox or Chrome.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Grandi Navi Veloci

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Grandi Navi Veloci requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Leroy Homer

Can you upload information onto Leroy Homer's article regarding his supposed actions on board United Flight 93? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.107.35 (talk) 19:55, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

...what? --Olonia (talk) 21:20, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Somebody keeps modifying the section about Homer's fate when United 93 was hijacked. This or these people, in the effort to make 'official' the cinematographic image of Homer opening the door and being stabbed by the hijackers and that Captain Dahl being the one who shouted "mayday", keep repeating like parrots, sources that don't even talk about such a thing, while they kept cancelling all the more reliable sources from other observations- including the testimony of Homer's wife Melodie, not one of the thousands of far-fetched accounts given by sources like "9-11 America Under Attack" - that Homer was the person who shouted "mayday" on the cockpit voice recorder, and possibly was even alive after the hijacking (notice: I say possibly, and indeed I tried to write in the article that Homer's actions are just what his wife believes, while these people use no actual sources and fictional books as facts). They deem all these accounts, including a testimony of Homer's wife, as "untrue", while the only certainly apocryphal accounts are those of Homer just being killed or that he and Dahl was removed from the cockpit and left in the back of the plane. And if we want to remain in theme of apocryphal accounts, let's talk about the sources (like "9-11 America Under Attack"), to which they desperately cling: it is a book that is completely inaccurate and fictional, that it is worse than any of the conspiracy theories that came in the wake of the tragedy. If you were to click on that source - you would agree it is not needed. Moreover, the other sources (the telegraph and ABC accounts) never mention a word that Homer was stabbed and killed during the hijacking: One more unjustified modify to that section and I will notify them for vandalism. Excuse me for being so rude but this has been repeated for nearly a month and without those people ever making a justification or asking anything, just erasing everything goes against what they state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.107.35 (talk) 22:52, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

...I understand, but I have never worked on that page or that subject at all. I mostly write about naval and WWII history every now and then. I think you should ask some other user who has worked on that page or on other 9/11 related pages. --Olonia (talk) 23:21, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello Olonia! Thank you for your contributions.

Thank you very much, but I have to say that I do not have the time to be a proper editor on any WikiProject.

Regarding Murdoch

I saw your excellent edits on some Titanic articles. Is it possible for you to do some edits for the Murdoch page, as well his cast note on Titanic (1997)? I suggest that, on the film, the cast note regarding Murdoch be rewritten. For example, it reads, "Cameron apologized on the DVD commentary, but stated that there were officers who fired gunshots to enforce the "women and children first" policy." I have heard the commentary and what Cameron, along with a historian, say is, that there is multiple eye witness testimony of an officer shooting passengers/himself. It may possibly have been Murdoch; there is no evidence to rule him out. Cameron gave no apology. We must remember that Mr. Cameron is a film director, not a historian, and his comment certainly does not change the historical fact that whether First Officer William Murdoch committed suicide or not is unknown -there is not enough evidence to prove either line of theory. So even if he feels it was a little dangerous to portray the First Officer as shooting passengers and himself in his film, based on some eyewitness testimony, it still remains a possibility that it in fact really did happen.

Finally, there is the line, "Fox vice-president Scott Neeson went to Dalbeattie, Scotland, where Murdoch lived, to deliver a personal apology". 20th Century Fox (not Cameron) simply donated £5,000 to Dalbeattie High School along with a silver tray. No apology was ever given, despite the media misinterpretating this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.17.72 (talk) 20:16, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Stop adding your personal website as a reference

you've been warned about this before, it's against Wiki rules.

you've been warned about this on February 15, 2015 in case you care to review your own standing here.Crook1 (talk) 15:16, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

3RR Policy

From your post on my Talk page it seems you're here only because you're interested in promoting your personal website. You edited the article 4 times (5 if we count the original edit) without contributing anything new. You removed perfectly good references and inserted yet another website reference. You contribute nothing and judging from your post on my Talk page the only thing you're interested in is in continuing the war editing. As I told you before you're more than welcome to add information to the article if it is properly referenced. Simply rewriting a paragraph and removing perfectly good references is not acceptable. Please stop this behavior, it is not constructive.Crook1 (talk) 15:16, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Crook1 (talk) 19:21, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

March 2018

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Italian destroyer Espero (1927). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:24, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
