Royal Navy ships

Thank you for your many contributions of Royal Navy ships. You may like to look at HMS C1 which I have wikified into a format which is used elsewhere in this kind of article. Perhaps you could modify your new article template to work like this. Your ongoing contributions are valued. Welsh 13:09, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warning!

A tag has been placed on HMS C22, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

British V (WW1) class submarine

Hi Oscarclass. Good work on a very neglected field on Wiki. I have added the general characterstics to the above article as I have their details in 'Conways All the Worlds Fighting Ships' for the period. I'd very much recommend this series of books as the sheer detail of information is excellent. Looking forward to reading more of your work. Cheers Galloglass 00:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Los Angeles class

Hi Oscarclass. I noticed your edit to the LA-class article, and it's not exactly clear to me just what was changed. I see that you made a new infobox and deleted the old one, and changed some minor info in that box, but I'm not really sure why the new way is better than the old way, etc. Were you bringing it into line with some ship-class standard or something? Anyway, if you wouldn't mind dropping by the talk page and telling a little bit about your edit, that'd be great.

Thanks! - Rem01 (talk) 16:13, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sub articles

Thanks for all the stub articles you've been adding on submarines! I wanted to mention a couple things:

You can use {{DEFAULTSORT}} to set a sort key for the article, so you don't have to type a sort key into each category designation. For an example of syntax, see my changes at HMS E45. It should save you a little typing.
It would be great if you could also add shipwreck cats where possible. The most useful shipwreck cats are named by body of water, so it's pretty intuitive - Category:Shipwrecks in the North Sea, Category:Shipwrecks in the English Channel, etc.

Thanks again! Maralia (talk) 20:50, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
