The last ref you added pointed to a non-existent web-site. Please can you check the source and, if possible, format the reference as I have done to the only viable reference in the article. Thanks  Velella  Velella Talk 12:56, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for all your great work so far! I don't know if you've seen it yet, but the Guidance for younger editors page has some good things to keep in mind whilst you're working on Wikipedia articles as a younger editor.

Disambiguation link notification for February 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited SS Willis L. King, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lifeboat ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/SS_Willis_L._King check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/SS_Willis_L._King?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Good work
...on the articles that you have written. You have put forth good effort.

I notice from your userpage that you have created several accounts such as and. Why? Are you not able to do the work with one account? It is good to see that you have them linked as required by WP:VALIDALT, "Alternative accounts should always be identified as such on their user pages, except where doing so would defeat the point of the account." — Berean Hunter   (talk)  12:16, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Niagara (shipwreck)
Hello, GLS, and welcome! Nice job on this article. It's hard to believe that you are only 13.

I made a couple of changes to the article, which I explained on the talk page. The errors in the source I deleted are very common, and we should be suspicious of sources which confuse GT, GRT, NT, or NRT with displacement. They often also confuse draft (draught) with depth, which also seems to have happened here.

Autpatrolled user right
Hi GreatLakesShips, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AGreatLakesShips added] the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Mjroots (talk) 06:31, 26 March 2018 (UTC) Mjroots (talk) 06:31, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

 * I now see this in a subpage although you still haven't answered me directly. I have known since March 12 and have been very patient with you. I've converted your block to 72 hours . Uploading copyright photos is wrong. Which photos do we need to scrutinize? All of those uploaded by LittleGreenLights? Will we find copyvio text? Pinging since we will need more eyes on your contribs.
 * Until we get certain issues cleared up, you are blocked indefinitely. Issue #1 - communicating with other editors and particularly admins. I want to hear about how you are going to improve on that. Trying to get you to account for this has taken quite a while. We're not going to go through that again if there happens to be other issues in the future. Issue #2 - WP:SOCK - please explain what you have already done and also whether you have any more accounts. Issue #3 - WP:COPYVIO and your cooperation concerning cleanup will go a long way towards being unblocked. Please feel free to file an unblock request per the guide.

From know on I will reply to messages that are important (the reason why I didn't reply to you is because I was scared). Using the, I only uploaded photos, and edited but hardly ever. When I received your message about being blocked, I created the account (I misspelled the name) to reply to you but it didn't work. If the images I uploaded are copyrighted, that is because I misunderstood the license. Otherwise I try to upload copyright free images. GreatLakesShips (talk) 20:24, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

I am checking the images listed at Special:ListFiles/LittleGreenLights and so far they are public domain photos from the LoC. Incorrectly tagged but public domain. I will do the rest later — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:34, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

tagged them, not me. I did tag them, not. I just remembered wrong. But thank you for looking and sorting then out. GreatLakesShips (talk) 20:36, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, for reviewing admins' benefit, the thread at the top of your talk page was the first time that I asked and the next time that I asked was at my talk page. I next posted twice with this question in this thread on different days. I received this response from you or your father? After seeing that you hadn't replied but had edited, I placed the CU results above which prompted your reply on my talk. That's the timeline.


 * Are these accounts your first Wikimedia accounts?  Accounts at the Hungarian Wikipedia? From your userpage, you have high proficiency in that language.


 * Why didn't you respond to Nthep with the other account, ? He was trying to help you.

— Berean Hunter   (talk)  21:44, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The only thing that held me back from giving you a barnstar was the fact that there was an account,, that you wouldn't own as yours. Otherwise, the work looks commendable.

Which accounts do you mean? If that is not a stupid question. GreatLakesShips (talk) 22:12, 10 April 2018 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  01:36, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I've amended my previous post and clarified in . Apologies for not being clearer.

Apologies for a late reply. But you were asking me if I had a Hungarian Wikipedia account. I never created a Hungarian Wikipedia account, but while logged into my English Wikipedia account, I visited the Hungarian site. My username appeared in red on the page, I don't know much about this, so if that means I have an account, I have one. But I never created a Hungarian account so I'm assuming that means that I don't have one. GreatLakesShips (talk) 14:55, 11 April 2018 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  18:21, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Iris (1866 ship)
Hi GreatLakesShips, Why did you revert my edits? First, the vessel was apparently launched in 1866, so why did you change the category to 1886 ship? Second, the first paragraph recapitulates the title. Third, the launch year is implicit, and should be explicit as it makes it unnecessary to subtract 47 from 1913 to figure it out. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 14:28, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries, not wrong. Just a question of how do we make things simple and clear, and mileages differ between editors. As for the 1913, typos are just what I do best. Acad Ronin (talk) 14:39, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Just checked out your User page. Welcome to WP, and to ships. You are off to a great start. (Just don't get sucked in to this hobby as I have been.) Cheers, Acad Ronin (talk) 14:43, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Copyright
I noticed that File:Lakeland sinking.jpg has been nominated for deletion. Copyright laws are perhaps the most difficult thing to handle on Wikipedia. With this image, if we can find who took it, where it was published we can find out how to proceed. If it is a Coast Guard photo, it will be free to use. If we can't find the information it is possible that we could upload it here on Wikipedia as a fair use image. See WP:Copyright and Commons:Copyright rules for further details. Media copyright questions may also be helpful. Rmhermen (talk) 20:56, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for a late reply. I have seen that you have edited the file showing the name of its creator which means it can't be used freely. As soon as the file is deleted, I will upload it as a fair use image. GreatLakesShips (talk) 16:11, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

George Spencer and Amboy
Hi, I've nominated this as db-nocontent, on the basis that it had no content, but merely an attempt to have a page redirecting to two pages. A title can only redirect to one page - if you tried to redirect it to two, how would it know which to go to?

An article with a title "X and Y" would be appropriate only if there is a single entity (such as a work or a company) with this name (e.g. Jack and Jill or Marks and Spencer), or X and Y are notable as a pair (e.g. Gilbert and Sullivan or Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen), in which case the article would describe their collaborative careers or whatever. — Smjg (talk) 10:04, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

SS Choctaw
I asked Parsecboy about the photos and this is whst he said: '''no, the licenses are not correct. The photos are all US works, so EU copyright law is completely irrelevant. For us to be able to use the images, we need evidence of publication before 1923.''' I hope this helps A 10 fireplane (talk) 16:07, 22 May 2018 (UTC) A 10 fireplane (talk) 16:07, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi,

My name is Dan, and I've been trying to correct some erroneous information in the SS Choctaw article. While I realize that your edits are based on published material, I believe I have better first-hand knowledge of the current state of the wreck than TBNMS does, based on many hours of video and sonar, both remote-operated and diver-operated.

I just looked briefly at the article and noted a number of erroneous changes. I'll read it carefully and post my findings here.

Cheers!

Creating articles
I saw your post at WP:SHIPS. Since you have a lot of experience creating articles, I recommend you skip the AFC process and just create and post them. I usually work on the article in my sandbox, search for the title, create the article by clicking on the redlink, and copy/paste from the sandbox. Usually, within 24 hours somebody will "patrol" the article and add it to the encyclopedia. RobDuch (talk·contribs) 19:12, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages
Thanks for your recent addition to October 18. I've gone ahead and tightened up your addition a bit and added a reference.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.

Whalebacks
Hello My friend! It seems that as your interests are the same as mine, you could help me with this project. I'm trying to make an article for every Whaleback ship. The list of all Whalebacks is hard to find on the internet, but I found the book Whalebacks by Neel Zoss. That has a list of all of them that I can post if you need me to. Will you help me with this project? Bowtiesarecool06 (talk) 19:58, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Why Not Both?
I think a list should be made on the Whaleback page, but each ship should have their own article. I can make the list as long as you are able to help me make a couple of the articles and/or expand on some of the lacking articles that already exist. Bowtiesarecool06 (talk) 20:30, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

I think it is definitely possible, but it would take quite a long time. GreatLakesShips (talk) 20:39, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

That's true, but the process will be sped up significantly as with the book we will actually know what ships need articles. I'll go make the list now. Bowtiesarecool06 (talk) 21:16, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Congratulations on more than 9,000 pageviews! However, this doesn't qualify for our monthly list, as it appeared in a 24-hour run and the average pageviews per hour were below our 416.7 views per hour threshold. Best, Yoninah (talk) 11:13, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi GreatLakesShips: I've done a review of Robert C. Pringle (tug) and identified a couple of issues that need sorting before it can be approved. Can you please take a look when you get the chance? Thanks! MeegsC (talk) 13:22, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
Hi GreatLakesShips, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AGreatLakesShips added] the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Girth Summit  (blether) 12:43, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

What link??
Ahoy there - I have just received a notice (21 Feb 2021) that your article SS Russia has been linked to an article I created long ago HNoMS Axel Thorsen (1810). I cannot see why such a link should exist. Your ship was launched in 1872, my ship was lost in 1872 - but they never met nor did they operate in the same waters. Is it just me that is confused? Viking1808 (talk) 15:06, 21 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I suspect it is the "Maritime incidents in 1872" category. GreatLakesShips (talk) 15:22, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * How strange! but I am a bear of very little brain. Thanks for the reply. Viking1808 (talk) 15:30, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. GreatLakesShips (talk) 16:40, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
