I reverted [ your recent edit] to the Titanic article because your only addition was a fan-made forum, which conflicts with Wikipedia's notability guidelines for websites. If you think I've done something wrong, feel free to tell me! Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 20:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of The national titanic research group[edit]

An article that you have been involved in editing, The national titanic research group, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The national titanic research group. Thank you.

To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (organizations and companies) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources; and you shouldn't write about yourself or your own group - that's considered a Conflict of Interest. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. You will find good advice in the guide to writing Your First Article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:51, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Titanicboss. Thanks for your addition of information about Red Funnel's tug boats to Isle of Wight ferry services. However, the information you attempted to add to the table was actually inserted after the table ended.

When adding material to a table, it will need to go before the

|}

- those 2 characters tell the wiki software where the table ends. Also, as the table is order by route/company it would be preferable if new information was also put in this order. If you need more help using wiki tables, why not have a look at Help:Table? Can I suggest to avoid this problem in future, you might want to use the "show preview" button before you save?


Can I also point out that the article is basically about passenger-carrying service vessels. Ancillary and service vessels such as tugs may well be notable but probably not for passenger service. If the dates for the tugs are correct and at least one has been withdrawn, would you consider that this information might be better in the Red Funnel article? I have placed your edit between comment tags

"<!-- so it only shows in 'edit' view -->"

rather than moving it. And finally, apologies if you already knew all this! Thanks! --Peeky44 (talk) 12:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
