Talk pages such as talk:HMS London (1656) are for discussing improving the article. Using all capitals (i.e. SHOUTING), accusing everyone reading the talk of being "wrong" is not a discussion at improving the article, so I deleted it. If you want to get this changed, I would suggest providing sources showing that the ship was not referred to as the "HMS London" using a "normal tone". I also removed some current content that was unsourced: See comment here User talk:86.12.46.87#HMS London (1656). May I recommend perusing the welcome section above on editing wikipedia and how editors should interact with each other? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:00, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
- You are running through here like a bull in a china shop. Screaming "It's wrong", but not willing to do the work of showing why. Firing off nasty notes to me and others. This has not been an enjoyable evening. Perhaps you should read wp:civil? Jim1138 (talk) 09:14, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
