Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to USNS Wheeling (T-AGM-8). 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 02:38, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi and thanks for your reply on my talk page. Unfortunately even though you may personally know information to be inaccurate, wikipedia works by the use of reliable sources only, so you need to find a third-party source for the information - have a read of the article I have linked to. As the previous information was also unsourced, I have left your changes there but added a "citation needed" tag. Thanks Melcous (talk) 22:34, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
