This edit was made months ago now, but I would like to point out your edit on HMS Kent (F78) did not include a citation. The content involved was true, and I have added a citation, but if I hadn't, I could have easily deleted it. Thanks. BMB YT 500000 (talk) 13:34, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Serco Marine Services

Hello IBrock, in your recent extensive edits, seeking to improve the

tonnes (a metric measure of mass/weight) where the figures themselves are for gross tonnage (a unit-less measurement derived from volume). You will see that the figures taken from MarineTraffic are there clearly shown as, for example for SD Reliable, "Gross Tonnage: 271". If the figures were for deadweight tonnage or displacement
tonnes might be appropriate.

As some of your added references are used multiple times, you might like to have a look at

WP:NAMEDREFS
, which shows how repeated identical references list can be simplified. It is, though, disappointing that, despite two earlier requests to avoid adding "bare URLs", you continue to do so, rather than using the available reference templates. It's nothing to worry about - just a learning curve - and, like rainbows, they never end.

Ok. Thanks. Sorry, I don't look at my messages often enough. I will pause and review. IBrock (talk) 11:33, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks - ping me if necessary.Davidships (talk) 18:31, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed all the gross tonnage figures. As for "bare URLs", I need to read up on this as well. ... you are correct, an endless learning curve. IBrock (talk) 08:51, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, a reminder again to use sources per the
WP:VERIFY policy. Though the content you edited on Russian Navy did not appear to be particularly cited in the first place so may need to be have a closer look. TylerBurden (talk) 14:25, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Alexandrit-class minesweeper, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

  • A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a

false positive, you can report it to my operator
