Some hints for editing on wikipedia

[edit]

Edits on wikipedia need to be reliably sourced (WP:RS) to, ideally, a secondary source to enable them to be verifiable (WP:V). You can't use a self-published source such as a website, blog or self-published book. [1] is a self-published source and you cannot add material from that website. Further, you seem to indicate that is your website, in which case you need to declare a conflict of interest.

Wikipedia also does not allow you to publish original research or to analyse several sources in order to synthesise material. This is why Wikipedia publishes articles derived from secondary sources, you can't publish the results of your own interviews or research directly to wikipedia.

May 2014

Your recent editing history at SS Atlantic Conveyor shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

I'm templating your user page, as you have now added incorrect material three times to the article. If you are reverted, then you are expected to follow WP:BRD. WCMemail 12:19, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
