@Dual Freq: Hi, just wanted to follow up here after your last edit as edit summaries aren't always the best format of communicating. I'm aware of that the image is in the paragraph, but we can't use it as a ref. While some images are from a public source, like the US federal gov't, and might convey information that can be considered reliable, this image is simply an "own work", uploaded by a wiki-user, to a wiki-site, and so whatever info they've added, additional to what is seen in the image, is basically wp:or. Even now, what is in the image caption is not all supported... her hull number is scrubbed off, so can confirm that is Yorktown? Or even the date? (I'm not even sure we have use for this image on this page.) Anyway, that's the only reason why I removed it as a source after your edit. Have a nice day - wolf22:23, 23 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Ex-Yorktown was the only cruiser that could have been in that condition in Philadelphia in September 2022. Tico and Gates were already gone. Vella Gulf had just decommissioned and maybe wasn't there yet anyway. The photographer appears to be a professional or at least claims to be one and has a good history on Commons. EXIF of the photo says $3,500 EOS 5 and $800 lens, FWIW. I guess he could have faked the EXIF and dates, but why bother, there's no indication of fraud. It's clear from the Texas source in the next line that ex-Yorktown did leave Philadelphia and arrived in Brownsville for scrapping in November 2022. It's either scrapped by now and NVR has not updated, or well on it's way to being scrapped. The design of the SPY-1 array also shows it has to be CG-57 or below, so it really can't be any other ship on that date. It is unlikely that another source for the departure from Philadelphia will ever be found at this point. I understand putting a cn tag on there in Sept 2022, because there was no photo and no other sources and it was IP anon added.[1] However, today there is a photo and the Nov 2022 source. --Dual Freq (talk) 12:36, 24 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Lolz... is that the transitive property of equality or original research? (or both?) Meh, I'm fine with it if you are. - wolf04:34, 25 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
