Hello, I'm Ahecht. Your recent edit(s) to the page Oasis-class cruise ship appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been removed for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The official source for the dimensions of the Oasis-class ships is the ship's classification society, DNV-GL. Please do not change the length of any ship to reflect numbers other than those that appear in the citations to vesselregister.dnvgl.com. Ahecht (TALK

Hi, I’m sorry to tell you that the Symphony of the Seas is 1,188 feet in length, I understand that the DNV says it is 1,184, but I have asked people directly from royal, and they have said that the ship is 1,188 feet long. And I will now put the proper citation, for that I apologize. Cruiser17 (talk) 19:54, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The official source for ship dimensions is the classification society. If Royal Caribbean feels that the classification society is incorrect, then they can take it up with them. Do not change the length values from those shown by the classification societies without discussing it on the article talk pages first. See WP:BRD. --Ahecht (TALK

Your recent editing history at Oasis-class cruise ship shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You have been warned multiple times. Do not make further changes to these articles without gaining consensus on the talk pages. --Ahecht (TALK

I won’t make changes anymore. Sorry for all of the aggravation. But I will ask this, is it possible that when the ship was measured the steel shrunk as it was cold out? I’m not saying that it did happen even though it most likely did since it was April in north Europe, but that’s really what my point is. In this day and age if a ship is designed to a certain length, I’m sure that it would be to the exact dimensions, of not off by a couple of inches. I have finished my argument. @Ahecht Cruiser17 (talk) 22:31, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's weather related. If the ship were made from A36 steel, you'd need a 130°F temperature difference for it to grow one foot. I've heard stories that the only reason Allure of the Seas is longer than Oasis is that Royal Caribbean waited for a warmer day to have DNV measure it so that they could claim it was the largest ship, but the stories are probably urban legends since a ship that long made from A36 steel would require a 65°F temperture difference to grow six inches, and both ships were surveyed on October 28th of their respective years. --Ahecht (TALK
