There is lots of infrastructure for ship info. Try List of ships of the United States Navy and things it links to, WikiProject Ships and Naming conventions (ships) for the favored standards, plus the "What links here" from a generic term like battleship will turn up lots of articles. We have several hundred articles at this point, including all US battleships, about half of US carriers, and an assortment of others. Stan 18:36 21 May 2003 (UTC)

Jimbo Visit
I will be at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 23 October, 2004, speaking at the ACM Reflections | Projections Conference 2004 -

This conference runs from 22. - 24. October 2004; it would be fantastic to have a Wikipedia booth, if I can get volunteers for it.

Do you think you could come? Jimbo Wales 16:35, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Rim-24-Firing-USN.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rim-24-Firing-USN.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. bayo 11:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
