June 2017

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

My concern is that there is already an article at Royal Naval Auxiliary Service and as such your new article is a duplicate Gbawden (talk) 06:28, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I cannot comment about the image as I didn't tag it for deletion. Yes the existing page may not have everything in it, but that is where you should edit rather than creating a new article. Edit that page or even better discuss planned edits on that article's talk page Gbawden (talk) 07:32, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't see any edits by you on the page. I suggest you compare the two versions and then make the changes on the page. I will keep an eye on the page and let you know if you add stuff you shouldn't Gbawden (talk) 08:49, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RNXS

Your edits look ok so far, but if possible add references to everything you add. See WP:REFB Gbawden (talk) 11:32, 23 June 2017 (UTC)Thanks for that what do you mean by "Everything" i did include citations and references where i thought necessary could you give me an example of what you would like to see references to thatDixon hill (talk) 22:19, 23 June 2017 (UTC) not already covered[reply]

Ta

Some thoughts. Firstly, don't link to external sources like you did with veteran. If you must, link to the internal WP article. Same for the ship names, don't link to a photo. To make the article look good, consider putting the ship names in a table. Gbawden (talk) 07:43, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your input and that table (i wanted to do that but could not figure it out) it looks great, so far i think i have read and edited it a thousand times adding links and citations as i notice where one may be needed also adding more information as i progress,i have to do it that way because of my dyslexia or it becomes too overwhelming

i keep trying to link to the wiki article but i cant get it to work (its me i will figure it out ) thanks again Gbawden Dixon hill (talk) 08:00, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ps The pictures that where linked to the loyal class tenders entry, are actually the on the marine traffic database for the vessels and gives current information as to there whereabouts if known IMO number,MMSI number call Sign:Flag AIS Vessel Type: ect are you sure i cant link to them ??

Mediation

Thank you for your inquiry about mediating the deletion of Commons:File:R.N.X.S LapelBadge.jpg, but I'm afraid that Commons is separate from English Wikipedia and has its own standards and processes. Moreover, I do not work in dispute resolution there, nor am I familiar with its appeal processes. So, sorry, but I can't be much help. (And even if I could, I don't ordinarily accept private requests for mediation.) Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 20:36, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ok Thank you anyway ,very new to this still trying to get a handle on it --Dixon hill (talk) 21:11, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Dixon hill, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Royal Naval Minewatching Service have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain --Dixon hill (talk) 19:56, 28 June 2017 (UTC)or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.[reply]
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:10, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

what ????? i have cited the publication the artacal appeared in year and month as advised to do when i asked on the editor irc channel and used an extract of that ; lengthy piece that is over 50 years old , as to punctuation "" , ect, i am 55 years old not a collage kid and i am dislexic and have to read thought it dozens of time to correct such errors

All in all this has been a pretty disappointing experience, i see no point in continuing trying to help update wiki as requested in there mission statement.when it come to historical entry's as this is, the over the top approach to Alleged CR infringement it detrimental to wiki`s mission statement .i used an"extract from what is a lengthy piece in the navy news cited dated and that not good enough --Dixon hill (talk) 19:56, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
