 * My concern is that there is already an article at Royal Naval Auxiliary Service and as such your new article is a duplicate Gbawden (talk) 06:28, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I cannot comment about the image as I didn't tag it for deletion. Yes the existing page may not have everything in it, but that is where you should edit rather than creating a new article. Edit that page or even better discuss planned edits on that article's talk page Gbawden (talk) 07:32, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see any edits by you on the page. I suggest you compare the two versions and then make the changes on the page. I will keep an eye on the page and let you know if you add stuff you shouldn't Gbawden (talk) 08:49, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Your edits look ok so far, but if possible add references to everything you add. See WP:REFB Gbawden (talk) 11:32, 23 June 2017 (UTC)Thanks for that what do you mean by "Everything" i did include citations and references where i thought necessary could you give me an example of what you would like to see references to thatDixon hill (talk) 22:19, 23 June 2017 (UTC) not already covered

Ta
 * Some thoughts. Firstly, don't link to external sources like you did with veteran. If you must, link to the internal WP article. Same for the ship names, don't link to a photo. To make the article look good, consider putting the ship names in a table. Gbawden (talk) 07:43, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your input and that table (i wanted to do that but could not figure it out) it looks great, so far i think i have read and edited it a thousand times adding links and citations as i notice where one may be needed also adding more information as i progress,i have to do it that way because of my dyslexia or it becomes too overwhelming

i keep trying to link to the wiki article but i cant get it to work (its me i will figure it out  ) thanks again Gbawden Dixon hill (talk) 08:00, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Ps The pictures that where linked to the loyal class tenders entry, are actually the on the marine traffic database for the vessels and gives current information as to there whereabouts if known IMO number,MMSI number call Sign:Flag AIS Vessel Type: ect are you sure i cant link to them ??

Mediation
Thank you for your inquiry about mediating the deletion of, but I'm afraid that Commons is separate from English Wikipedia and has its own standards and processes. Moreover, I do not work in dispute resolution there, nor am I familiar with its appeal processes. So, sorry, but I can't be much help. (And even if I could, I don't ordinarily accept private requests for mediation.) Regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 20:36, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

ok Thank you anyway ,very new to this still trying to get a handle on it --Dixon hill (talk) 21:11, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.

what ????? i have cited the publication the artacal appeared in year and month as advised to do when i asked on the editor irc channel and used an extract of that ; lengthy piece that is over 50 years old, as to punctuation "" , ect, i am 55 years old not a collage kid and i am dislexic and have to read thought it dozens of time to correct such errors

All in all this has been a pretty disappointing experience, i see no point in continuing trying to help update wiki as requested in there mission statement.when it come to historical entry's as this is, the over the top approach to Alleged CR infringement it detrimental to wiki`s mission statement .i used an"extract from what is a lengthy piece in the navy news cited dated and that not good enough --Dixon hill (talk) 19:56, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
