Hi Arthur Dunand, welcome to Wikipedia. I reverted your edit on Special Boat Service. The introduction already states that it is a maritime special forces unit. I also reverted your addition of Commandos Marine to See Also. Many units could be added to See Also. Maritime special forces units are all listed in the List of military diving units which is in See Also. You also edited GIGN, as the introduction states it is a police tactical unit and it is part of the National Gendarmerie there is no need to state it is not a special operations force so I reverted your edit. In both articles you made comparisons to other units. Material you add needs to be verifiable WP:VERIFY using reliable sources WP:RS. It is good practice to provide a edit summary for every edit. I reverted your edits to 1st Marine Infantry Paratroopers Regiment stating it is one of the most capable in the world as that is MOS:PEACOCK.--Melbguy05 (talk) 16:15, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I also reverted your edit removing the infobox image from Attack-class submarine.--Melbguy05 (talk) 16:36, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, may I kmow why it was necessary to remove the image of the Attack class submarine ? It was the more accurate one, compared to the other which represented the older design. As for the comparisons, I made them because people often mistake the GIGN for a special operations force, which, as we both know, is wrong. So I would be glad if you left the part with the comparison to other units French Units. If you want, the link to the GIGN website is (https://www.gendarmerie.interieur.gouv.fr/gign/decouverte/missions2). As for the statement about the 1st RPIMa, I understand your position. But you should keep the comparisons to the SAS, SASR and Delta Force. As for the See also list, I put the Commandos Marine because of the relationship both forces have. Also, why could I not put the Commandos Marine if the Navy SEALs are there? So I am asking you to put this edit back (link to history of the Commandos Marine :http://le.cos.free.fr/commando-marine.htm). If you do not respond, I shall edit it back myself.


 * I had thought I had re-added the image it after you removed. But I know see that you uploaded two images to Wikimedia Commons on 4 Dec which were subsequently deleted on 14 Dec by an administrator because of copyright concerns as there was "No license" for the images. I suggest you read for information on what you can and can't upload to Commons and information you have to provide. In regards to GIGN, the introduction states it is a police tactical unit. A reader can click on the wikilink to the police tactical unit article which explains the difference between a military special operations force. I don't know what you mean by "counter-terrorism mission" the distinction you are making with COS units. The GIGN article already has a Missions section. In regards to 1st RPIMa, comparisons to other units require a WP:CITE to a WP:RS. I removed Navy SEALs from the SBS See Also list as it is in List of military diving units. Reading the Commandos Marine Wikipedia article and the link you provided it seems the relationship was with the Commandos in WW2 and not the predecessors of the SBS in WW2.--Melbguy05 (talk) 12:09, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

For the everything else, I understand your point, however, for the GIGN, I would like you to put the statement back: let me explain why: People will not read the whole "Missions" rubric, as it is complicated to understand for someone who hasn't got repairs in the subject or whom's mother tongue isn't English, and will therefore mistake the GIGN for a SOF and spread false information. This is why I put the statement about the 1st RPIMa on top, so it is one of the first things the reader understands. If he wants extensive details, he will go to the "Missions" section. However, if not, he will not be spreading false information. And I don't see what the fuss is all about as my statement was correct. If you want some proof, go to French governmental websites, and in case you don't speak French or aren't related to the subject, I suggest you let it go.
