Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Navigational aid. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 15:16, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

WP:EL on Navigational aid
I really don't understand why you are so eager to have that external link, and why you think it is so important to the article. The article already includes an image which demonstrates how a chart with navigational aids looks like, so this most likely fails WP:EL. But I rather not start an edit war, care to explain? --Muhandes (talk) 18:07, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Website shows in practice the use of navigation aids at sea and on land, their types, characteristics and photos. What is the sentence:"But I rather not start an edit war, care to explain?" --DGPS (talk) 20:20, 21 February 2011 (UTC)


 * The article already includes an image demonstrating that, and if you think it is not clear, add a clearer one. There is no need for an external link, see WP:ELNO rule #1: "any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article" should be avoided. The sentence I wrote means exactly what it says - that I rather discuss this with you than revert your edit, and that I would like to hear the explanation of why this not exactly the case of WP:ELNO rule #1. --Muhandes (talk) 22:22, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
