If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!..dave souza, talk 20:41, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

USS Mitscher (DDG-57)
The opinion you added to the USS Mitscher (DDG-57) article is unsourced, so I've moved it to the talk page. Everything in Wikipedia has to be verifiable as WP:V, and not original research as defined in WP:NOR – which means that your opinions are only suitable if they've been published by a reliable source. To meet WP:NPOV it would also be appropriate to show an alternative opinions. I'm pretty sure that Mitscher didn't try to sink MV Kenilworth, but we need a notable source for anything else ;) .. dave souza, talk 20:41, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
