Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Navalised Eurofighter do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Navalised Eurofighter. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Ches (talk) 15:17, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

QE class

Hi, I was just looking at the significant addition you added to the "Design studies" section and thought perhaps you might consider spinning off some of that content from what is getting to be a lengthy article, to the Aircraft Carrier Alliance stub. Just a suggestion, not a criticism. Cheers - ^theWOLFchild 05:30, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Adding a link to ACA wasn't what I was suggesting. It's already linked in 2 other section. Now it's just wp:overlinking and likely to be removed. But, thanks anyway. - ^theWOLFchild 18:01, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Reply to Wolfchild re QE Class Carrier Article

Hi,

The bits I added are relatively short (basically referencing out to 4 x key RINA papers) and are key background to the origins and design of the ships (most of which pre-dates formation of the Aircraft Carrier Alliance).

I agree though, the article is too long. It contains a lot of legacy stuff that is no longer of any particular relevance, and needs rationalised. The bits that should be pruned back are the 'Strategic Defence Review’, ‘Capability Requirements & Ship Size’, and ‘Aircraft and carrier format selection’ sections. Some of the block quotes certainly should go. Much of 'Construction' could be decanted into the Aircraft Carrier Alliance article, with a link being added beneath the 'Construction' heading.

However, I don’t want to delete and chop & change other people's previous words without general consensus on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Independent2011 (talk • contribs) 07:27, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

You can post this proposal on the article talk and see what other's have to say. - ^theWOLFchild 19:19, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

File:Successor CGI.jpg listed for discussion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Successor CGI.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Majora (talk) 19:03, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Reply on Successor CGI.jpg listed for discussion

Hi. The CGI image is UK Crown Copyright.

The UK National Archives manages UK Crown Copyright - see Link to National Archives Page. This states that the default for Crown copyright is the Open Government Licence (OGL).

The following further UK National Archives Page states the terms under which such UK OGL material can be used. The main requirement is stating the source, which I have done in the proposed use of the image on the 'Dreadnought' class page.

This image has been widely published in the UK Press on this basis - for example, see FT article, Daily Telegraph article, Daily Mirror Article.

Furthermore it is one of the few official images published by the UK government for this £30bn+ submarine programme. Basic principles of Public Interest means that it would be hard for the UK government to argue that this image can't be used.

On this basis, I think it is OK for Wikipedia to use the image. Independent2011 (talk) 19:49, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:OPVinfographic.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:OPVinfographic.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:03, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
