You appear to be reverting material on the Columbia class submarine article for some reason. The edit has a reliable source attached and appears to meet Wikipedia standards for edits and additions to Wikipedia articles. Could you add it back into the article since it has a reliable source.

- The content added was non-neutral and non-encyclopedic. It's basically Navy propaganda, even though, personally, I agree with it 100%. Raise the issue on the article's talk page if you want broader input on re-adding it. BilCat (talk) 15:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Talk page is fine, though you've been at Wikipedia long enough that you know that reliable sources edits normally should not be removed unless there is a separate reliable source which is intervening or in opposition. Do have a reliable source that intervenes on this edit? ErnestKrause (talk) 15:19, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- That's in incorrect interpretation of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. WP:NOTNEWS concerns sourced content that isn't permitted, and is somewhat applicable to your additions. WP:NOT is also applicable. BilCat (talk) 15:47, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- BilCat's edit was correct, and WP:ONUS also applies. But this entire thread should be on the article talk page. (imo) - wolf 18:30, 20 June 2022 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Revision-deletion
Just a courtesy post. I have asked that the edit summary (which I have no power to amend) that was uncivil about my talk page be rev-deleted. No part of it is any longer valid. Thanks. --Sportspop (talk) 08:39, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Sportspop: Thank for trying. I have a couple of uncivil summaries out there that I tried to have deleted too, but they weren't eligible either. I guess the lesson is to either always be civil in edit summaries, or else be so uncivil they have to delete it. Unfortunately, the latter option usually comes with an indef block! :) BilCat (talk) 03:14, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Unpublished revision
Ok, how do I add actual source information like currently taken photos of said item for which I am the source. There are not any online publications or secondary sources for which I can cite for this information because we use the link trainer internally and it is still in good condition and in use up until recently. So how do I add the information for which I can personally prove is true with photographs, records and evidence unless I create a completely unverified website containing the information independent of Wikipedia and cite that? Can I add photos and evidence as a cited source somehow? 158.140.195.42 (talk) 22:04, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Reversion on flag of Australia
Please discuss article issues on the relevant talk page. BilCat (talk) 07:36, 26 June 2022 (UTC) |

Hi, I noticed you reverted my edit, stating that "the flags can barely be seen or distinguished". Though the caption I wrote may suggest otherwise (and I will therefore amend it in any subsequent reinstatement), the focus of the image is on the flag in the foreground i.e. the first Union Jack. This monument represents the first flag used in Australia, in the area in which it was first raised and therefore I believe has significance pertaining to the article. Regarding your statement that it can barely be seen, please note this is a monument largely flanked by buildings on every side which prevents significant wind. Nonetheless, I believe the identifying features of it are visible and it would not be mistaken for a different flag. I wish to reinstate the edit but thought I should at least give you notice and an opportunity to respond before I do so. Regards, thorpewilliam (talk) 04:14, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- I will attempt to provide a clearer image of the monument in future. Regards, thorpewilliam (talk) 05:29, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Soviet fighter IP
Sdrqaz pointed out that our little friend may be BKFIP. The behavior seems to be consistent, so we might consider adding the IPs to the "massively incomplete" list of suspected IPs. What do you think? - ZLEA T\C 02:26, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know much about BKFIP, but from my brief encounters with their socks, it doesn't seem like them. All of this farm's IPs locate to Australia, and they are usually hostile to Americans, something I don't remember from my interactions with BKFIP. We may be dealing with more than one person too, as some of the IPs say nothing, and some are very hostile. They use a lot of IPs, so blocking isn't a great option, unfortunately.

Clarendon pictures
Thanks for your message about the images added to the Clarendon article. I've uploaded another pic, just for good measure, which isn't amazing quality but shows more of the stream flowing from the spring, which is 200m to the right. I have a few others of Welcome Beach but none would add to the article much or have people in them, though it was 20 years ago. Eating fresh snapper stew mixed with water biscuits on the beach as the sun sets is Clarendon Parish at its best.Richard Nowell (talk) 09:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- No problem, mon. I'd rather have jerk chicken, or currie chicken with rice and peas and boiled green bananas, in May Pen, but it's so much hotter there. I haven't eaten anywhere on the Clarendon coast, but did have dinner one eveling in Little Ochie. I think it was crab, but not too memorable. I'm not even sure where Welcome Beach is. We used to go to Jackson Beach when I was a child. BilCat (talk) 17:51, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Richard Nowell: And it took me a bit to realize what "water biscuits" were! I think Jamaicans use both terms, "biscuit" and "cracker". BilCat (talk) 06:50, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Incomplete reversion?
It looks to me like you meant to remove more than the comma here, but I'm not qualified to judge and thought I'd better leave it to you. Regulov (talk) 05:42, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
