It appears that User:Kabiblehopper has three times introduced a new version of this article that is three times the length of the previous version of the article, and has twice been reverted, by User:Viewmont Viking and User:Jessicapierce, but there has been no discussion, because this post appears to be the first post to this article talk page. This is the article talk page, and its purpose is to discuss changes to the article. User:Kabiblehopper - Why are you greatly expanding the length of this article without discussion? Your only edits have been one introductory edit, and edits to this article and a related article. Do you have a conflict of interest? If so, it should be declared. If not, why are you jumping in to one article to rewrite it?

The only objections raised were mostly syntax errors, jessicapierce thankfully then informed me of the function of the sandbox and the talk page. I made an attempt to reach out to vermont viking asking him to clarify his objections and was ignored. So I assumed my MOS errors were all that needed correcting and proceeded on attempting to fix that. There have been three other instances of major edits on this article with no mention in the talk so I figured it was of low enough importance not to matter.
The only conflict of interest if such, I have is that I live in Nova Scotia. Ive never worked for or been affiliated with Irving in anyway. My intent arises from the fact this sites entire narrative regarding the ship building industry on the east coast of Canada is at minimum over 10 years out of date and alot of the time factually incorrect. Which I believe, given the major spending initiative for an increase of shipbuilding here, is detrimental to the concept of an informed society. Kabiblehopper (talk) 10:09, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there, if you're interested in doing some updates to out-of-date information, feel free to let me know. I'm a WP editor based in New Brunswick and I can try to assist you with WP:MOS while ensuring that sources are correctly utilized, etc. B3251 (talk) 19:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinion on whether the recent expansion of the article should stand, but I see that it still contains many of the style errors of Kabiblehopper's original addition. I'll be doing a quick fix of some of the worst of these (inappropriate caps, etc.). If the content needs to be removed, no objection/opinion here.
