Boat vs island

@Aodhdubh:, in your recent edits, you have again added more content that is not about the boat, bur the island. I realize there might be a tangential connection to be found, but you have a habit sliding off topic, and adding superfluous, Bermuda-centric content. Now, really... how much of this page is about the boat and how much is general, military history with a Bermuda context? We don't want the page to become unbalanced.

And also loading up on refs... is every ref needed? For example, one sentence has six(!) consecutive refs at the end. Are they, and any of the ones you added a short whole ago, necessary? If everything in a sentence, or couple or three sentences is covered by one ref(s) at the end, then are any additional ones needed? An article needs sources, but it can also have too many of them.

The history detours and additional sources, please keep these in these in mind, and consider revisions. Thank you - wolf 04:52, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aodhdubh: I see you added more content, and this edit is an example of the extraneous additions that are bloating this article and will likely be removed. They have nothing to with this ship, they do nothing to help the reader understand the ship. I get that you have a passion for sharing Bermuda's history, but you are going about it the wrong way. While this is just the kind of material that you could add to an article about the (again; "Bermuda during WWII") or just "Military history of Bermuda", or "Naval history of Bermuda" or "Maritime history of Bermuda" (etc., etc.), or the current History of Bermuda page. Just please add it somewhere it belongs, and do not add it where it doesn't. Thank you - wolf 07:35, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re: this edit, please try to remember this article is about this boat, not the infrastructure and military history of Bermuda. This is a tugboat that was taken into service during the war. While some context regarding the need for her service, both to the island and then elsewhere, is warranted, the article needs to be balanced. Your continual editions are leading to an imbalance. It would also be helpful if you would start communicating. That is a requirement. - wolf 18:58, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
