Hello

[edit]

Just a quick comment about some of your edits where you removed hyphens from the hull code in naval ship names. Wikipedia uses hyphens in these instances, so please refrain from making these changes. Thanks - wolf 05:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's false information and does not reflect reality.
Why would you knowingly misrepresent information? 50.231.20.123 (talk) 16:12, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just because Wikipedia does puncuation different than the US Navy, does not mean we are "misrepresenting information". The information remains the same, and if you wish to change the way we do hyphens, commas and the like, you would need to seek a consensus in support of such change by way of an RfC at the Manual of Style. - wolf 07:42, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So if your name is Arthur Willhelm, you won't care if your driver's license is changed to say Arthur-Willhelm?
Conceptually that's the same thing; adding punctuation into an identification.
