Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Frankiecc. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. - wolf 16:23, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • By indicating this is "your ship", I take you mean that you are in the Navy and have served/are serving aboard this ship? Perhaps you even knew Price? This is why we have COI guidelines, because some people are too involved with the subject of an article, and they end up causing disruption. By edit-warring today, that is what you were doing. When I removed the edit, perhaps you noticed that my edit summary stated that the info was not in the attached ref. Did you even check? Because like almost all obituaries, it doesn't mention cause of death when it's suicide. So right there that edit can't stand because it wasn't fully supported. But that doesn't mean go and find a source that mentions the cause of death either. The article is about the ship, not her crew. We don't include information about non-notable crew members including names, even commanding officers, unless it's the person is notable and the information is relevant. From an encyclopaedic stand-point, this event is neither. In the future, if you would like to add or change information about this or any other ship you've served on, then please post it on the article talk page so that an uninvolved editor can review it and either add it for you or give you direction. Thank you. - wolf 16:55, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Frankiecc, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Notes

[edit]

Hi! Here are the notes I promised you:

  • Avoid using terms like "notable" "most famous" and so on, unless you're directly attributing them to someone. The reason for this is that terms like this are subjective and can be seen as both opinions and judgement calls on something or someone. As such, what may be true for one person may not be for the next person and terms like this can even come across as promotional, even if this isn't your intent.
  • This content comes across as disjointed, as it's a collection of random information rather than a coherent whole. I would definitely review the live article to see how the article is written, as well as articles like the one on George Washington for style guides.
  • Make sure that you don't insert original research - we can only summarize what has been explicitly stated in the source material.
  • Try to find more sourcing - you don't want to rely too heavily on only a few sources. The sourcing doesn't have to be in English, so if you're able to read Japanese you can use Japanese sources.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:42, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Page cites

[edit]

Hi! In order to specify a page you can use the "RP" template. The RP stands for "reference page" and in source mode, shows up like this: {{rp|42}}. Bringing it up in Visual Editor, it should look like this:

Thank you for creating Fumitaka Konoe.

When you translate text from a foreign language Wikipedia you should provide attribution to the original authors in your edit summary and by adding a translation tag to the talk page, as I have done in this instance.
