Hello, I'm RovingPersonalityConstruct. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Type 054A frigate, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 22:55, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at USS Nicholas (FFG-47), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 14:24, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Given your style of editing, please keep in mind the following things:


 * 1) Additions/changes must be accompanied by citations to supporting sources (see Verifiability); it is your responsibility to do this (WP:PROVEIT.) This is the basis for the above warnings.
 * 2) The sources used must be acceptable as defined by the criteria set out in Reliable sources.
 * 3) When adding citations, use tags, not inline links (see Citing sources.) Be mindful that the citation is associated with the correct text (WP:INTEGRITY.)
 * 4) Read the WikiProject Ships content guidelines; these seem applicable to your area of interest.
 * 5) Use English for edit summaries; this is the English-language Wikipedia after all. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 22:29, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

You aren't the only one who can leave edit summaries. :) I did explain why I reverted the addition of the ship name in mine. To sum up, it's a WP:RS issue; the source of the name appears to be a Tweet, with other sources then retweeting or reporting in short unsubstantial articles. It really needs additional corroboration.

As for the number of ships, a short survey of recent sources shows disagreement over how many ships are actually on the way. Hence why I changed the source to SIPRI database figures (which says 4) since at the very least SIPRI is pretty solid as far as Wikipedia's reliable source criteria are concerned. So it was not appropriate to change the number back to 6. If there's a recent-ish reliable source that quotes 6, then that should be included in a way that shows that the ultimate number is uncertain. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 03:08, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
