No problem, keep up the good work on SS Chauncy Maples! Great to see it well referenced. Aaroncrick(Tassie Boy talk) 10:03, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Please fully fill out citation fields
editHi, @Anments:, I've noticed that some of your edits you have not filled out many of the fields available in the citation template. Filling out all fields for which there is information helps better identify sources, and helps to find sources if the links go dead. Also, using Template:Cite news rather than Template:Cite web when citing a news source is helpful because there are more news-related fields. Thanks, Scotteaton92 (talk) 18:12, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Updating articles
editHi Anments, it is appreciated that you bring aviation articles up to date. Please note though that Wikipedia is not a diary or newspaper (see Wikipedia:NOTDIARY). So it's not the best idea to start a new paragraph for each news item that gets published. Remember that the history of most aircraft extends over many years or decades. We don't want articles to be huge diaries of news items that will be obsolete before long, neither do we want diaries that are complete for one or two years of the development history and incomplete for the rest. Some topics that evolve over longer periods of time need to be kept together in one paragraph. Try to find where a certain topic is already being covered within the article, and update that section. Try to be concise in doing so. Avoid unnecessary repetitions and quotes. Try to confine yourself to information that will be persistent and is not subject to imminent change. Sometimes, the article's structure will have to be altered and expanded to reflect new topics.
Since English isn't my first language, I'll just point you to some guideline and advice pages now:
