Talk:HMS President (1918)

Comments
As this ship was originally named HMS Saxifrage when built in 1918, and was not renamed President until July 1922, the article's title should read HMS President (1922). Rif Winfield 10:07, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Some sources say 1921 for the rename, but agreeing that the hull launched in 1918 seems a reasonable compromise. GraemeLeggett 13:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

the Q-ship Society has been updating with current information and email addresses plus links to up to date news reports and gofund.me links, but seems the editors don't like it and locked it. Is there a complaint procedure to complain about ? Q-Ship society (talk) 11:09, 19 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not an advertising medium for your society. Also please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Aso using different user names to create the impression more than one person is editing can get you banned. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 12:30, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * the information that my self and the fellow trustee is correct as to date, the Q-ship Society are indeed in negotiations with T.S.S to secure the vessel. Society's website was shared to show that they are not a fly by night group with the most upto date news article. 86.14.153.50 (talk) 12:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * We only have your word for it and a reference to a self-published source. Neither of which are acceptable. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 12:56, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The Q ship society will never gain ownership of the Saxifrage/HMS President. The last owner is believed to have signed over ownership to another party in Chatham for the purpose of disposal of the vessel as it is beyond economic repair. Having surveyed the vessel in the water, the conclusion is that the sooner this vessel is scrapped, the better. The hull is rotting through. The society until recently called itself a trust, something it has been ordered to remove from its letterheads. The Q Ship society is not a trust and therefore has no trustees.
 * The Q ship society, whilst having neither ownership or access have been using gofundme in order to raise money for a project with no positive outlook whatsoever. This could be construed as fraudulent activity. Danny Broom of the Q ship society has been approached with regard to providing accounts but has not yet to date given any detailed information as to how the money has been used.

 * Trustees etc of the Q-ship society have a significant conflict of interest and shouldn't be editing the article directly, particularly for edits that appear to promote the society's aims, and remove large chunks of the existing article while doing it. The article should reflect what is said in reliable secondary sources (see WP:RS for what Wikipedia expects for a reliable source), such as books, newspaper or magazine/journal articles. If you can find reliable sources that covers the post-Royal Navy history of the ship, then flag it up on the article talk page so the editors without a COI can evaluate the sources and if appropriate revise the article.Nigel Ish (talk) 13:01, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
