Re: HMS Lawford (K514)

Hi there. Thanks for adding HMS Lawford (K514). I did notice that you intended to redirect the page to HMS Lawford, so I added a #REDIRECT tag. For more information on using redirects, please see Help:Redirect. Thanks a million, and keep up the great work. =) --slakr 04:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Avoid conflicts of interest

Greetings! Based on examining your edits, I thought that I should point to the Wikipedia policy about conflicts of interest. You should generally avoid editing/creating articles for products in which you're primarily involved in their creation, in order to help maintain the neutral point of view that is a Wikipedia objective. Cheers! Craw-daddy 15:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Essay Format

Hi David, have you read wikipedia's WP:Manual of Style? The essay format is typically frowned upon in favor of a more encyclopedic writing style. Many wikipedians believe that essay style articles lend themselves to a non-neutral point of view. Just a friendly note. Happy editing.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 09:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

March 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Plan Rubber, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please do not delete tags on articles. They alert other editors to the need for improvement. Unless you improve the article in the way cited in the tags it can be seen as ownership and even vandalism. Torchwood Who? (talk) 09:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Plan Rubber

Your plan rubber article is shaping up nicely.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 06:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Trinco 27 11 05.jpg

File:Trinco 27 11 05.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:HMS Trincomalee.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:HMS Trincomalee.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 23:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited HMS Pelican (1812), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Topsham (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:05, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Naval Wargames Society

The article Naval Wargames Society has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:24, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
