I think the article about the nickname should stay as it is part of the ships history and is why the ship is famous someone took it of the page saying it was a rambling story but its not it is an article on where the nickname comes from and calling it a rambling story is an insult to the men who where there on the ship as this ship done so much in world war 2 and everything in the article happened as fact --Carsie100 (talk) 04:02, 20 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
The editor who removed it the first time was in the right. The section you added was long, and full of unencyclopaedic detail, with lashings of points of view, apparent original research, and other unsourced and supported assertions. I've cut it down to the salient facts. This article is not an article on how the ship got its nickname, it is an article on the ship and its history in its entirety, so WP:UNDUE also applies here. Furthermore wikipedia is not a memorial, calling the removal of the section 'an insult to the men who where there on the ship as this ship done so much in world war 2' is an overreaction, and writing a section from this intention is not a good way to begin. Finally though it may well be all true, everything on wikipedia has to be verifiable for inclusion. Benea (talk) 12:45, 20 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
