HMS Enterprise
Please see my comments at Talk:HMS Enterprise (H88). Please remember that the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth, and I suggest you have a read of WP:SYN too. You said in your edit that "This is a public interest notice about actions that have a relevence to the general public." If you read WP:What Wikipedia is not, you will note that, among other things, "Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so".

Nevertheless, your contributions are welcome. If you can come up with a valid reference to support your edits, I would be glad to help you put a suitably verified section in to the article that does meet Wikipedia's guidelines. Just ask at my talk page. Shem (talk) 08:23, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Putting the text back in HMS Enterprise (H88) after it's been removed on the grounds of not conforming to Wikipedia's guidelines on verifiability is not appropriate. What you ought to do is discuss at the talk page, but I can assure you that without much, much better sources, this sort of stuff will be removed time and time again.  Furthermore, you are likely to be identified as a disruptive editor if you continue to make these sorts of edits.  Shem (talk) 18:00, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think you get it. Once more, please read WP:What Wikipedia is not and WP:Verifiability.  Thanks.  Shem (talk) 23:11, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
