A tag has been placed on Category:2021 disasters in the United Kingdom requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Hallo and thanks for creating this stub. Just a few points:

  • "access-date" in a reference means "I consulted the web site on this date and it held the information I am using in this article". You cited two websites, one with access-date "unknown", and one with 2005 (did you just copy that from another article without looking at it?), so it looks as if you don't quite understand this.
  • Please don't use "&" in the text: this is an encyclopedia so uses formal language.
  • No capital letter for "Nine"
  • It needed a category for being a ship, not just a shipwreck.
  • There is an elegant way to format the name of a ship with a prefix (such as SS) but I can't just find it at this moment...

There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. Happy editing. PamD 12:30, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've had a look at SS Lochgarry too and tidied it up a bit. "the" isn't used with dates in Wikipedia - just "on 14 December 2020" etc. PamD 12:41, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

December 2020[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Bromford Bridge railway station, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Please read the notes already left on your page, and edit more carefully. In this edit you use "&", you use "the" in dates, and there are various careless mistakes: what does "caused by diver & fogamn error" mean? This is an international encyclopedia, please treat it with respect when you edit it. "Anyone can edit", but you are expected to follow the rules and to edit carefully. Thanks.

Sockpuppet investigation[edit]

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ryan kirkpatrick, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
