HMS Actaeon
Hi, I saw that you've created your first article on Wikipedia. I've added a couple of tags so that other editors can see that it needs working on to improve it. You may want to have a look at the WikiProject on ships and join the project if that is where your interest lies. I'm pretty sure that HMS Actaeon meets WP:V so the article shouldn't be flagged up for deletion. The main problem at the moment would seem to be that the log is in private hands and not readily accessible to the public. Don't take this as criticism, I'm sure that the article will be expanded and improved over time. Many a large oak from a small acorn has grown. Any questions just give me a shout on my talk page.

 * To further what Mjroots has said, I've had a run through the article and done such things as add an infobox to the side, and other changes. The main thing to remember about wikipedia is that articles need to be sourced to verifiable sources, (see WP:Verifiability) for a more detailed explanation, so the adding of reliable published sources is of prime importance. But feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Benea (talk) 12:00, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
