Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of aircraft by tail number, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Westland Widgeon. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Adding ships to year categories

edit

I've noticed that you have added a few ships to year categories recently. Please note the categories are for the year the ship was launched and not the year when it was completed or entered service. You can verify the launch year by looking at the Miramar ship index [1], initially they will give you free 7 day access and then if you find it useful you can apply on wikipedia library for as free ticket for continuous access Lyndaship (talk) 09:50, 14 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

My goal is also to get that article on DYK for June 6. Since I can now include the image in the nomination, would you be OK with also being credited? It makes a huge difference to the article, believe me. Daniel Case (talk) 01:03, 30 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'd definitely be okay with that, thank you! Happy to help. Godsfriendchuck (talk) 06:48, 30 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

DYK for That's All, Brother

edit

On 6 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article That's All, Brother, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the pilot of That's All, Brother (pictured), the lead C-47 carrying American paratroopers to Normandy 75 years ago today, named the airplane as a message to Adolf Hitler that his rule would soon end? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/That's All, Brother. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, That's All, Brother), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

List of oldest surviving ships

edit

Hey, I undid your edit you made on the article per my edit summary reasoning. Re-adding the ships should be an easy fix, but my concerns remain for the other things. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:26, 25 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
