A.D. Read, not J.P.L. Reid

Cleaning up Flag Officer, East Africa ↗, I have just come across your listings of "Flag Officer East Africa". Notwithstanding that your original source 13 quite clearly links to a citation for "Flag Officer East Africa and Zanzibar," as is verifiable through other web citations, you then via https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=East_Africa_Station&diff=848910990&oldid=848908818 ↗ edit linked the sourced officer Rear Admiral A.D. Read to Peter Reid (Royal Navy officer) ↗, whose initials are J.P.L. Reid, rather than A.D. Read!! The two officers are clearly distinguishable via the listing at https://www.unithistories.com/officers/RN_officersR1.html ↗. I have fixed this, but I must warn you again: Wikipedia:Competence is required ↗ to edit this site!! Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 01:53, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Senior Naval Officer, West Indies was the title from 1956, NOT Commodore WI

I have just reviewed your edits at North America & West Indies Station and seen your inaccurate replacement of SNOWI with Commodore West Indies at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=North_America_and_West_Indies_Station&diff=844692086&oldid=843383074 ↗ on 7 June 2018. I inserted the correct data on 15 June 2008 - that the A & WI station was replaced by SNOWI https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=North_America_and_West_Indies_Station&diff=next&oldid=219465040 ↗. While the reference supporting the edit disappeared (UK Chiefs of Staff Committee, Command in the Caribbean ↗, DEFE 5/188/4, January 1971, via The National Archives ↗) another clear reference can be seen here - https://ziladoc.com/download/the-naval-review-3_pdf - page 68 of that issue of the Naval Review. I would kindly ask you again to ensure that any of your wholesale copying over from Colin Mackie's site is carefully checked - I am losing my patience running around cleaning up after your edits of dubious competence!!

Inactive userpage draft

25px|alt=Information icon ↗Hello, Navops47, I saw that you made a draft for a new article at User:Navops47/sandbox1882tennisSeason. Short term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable. But in this case, you haven't edited your draft for a long time. If you wish to improve the draft yourself, please do.

WP:PRIMARYSOURCES ↗

Primary sources are original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved. They offer an insider's view of an event, a period of history, a work of art, a political decision, and so on. Primary sources may or may not be independent sources. An account of a traffic incident written by a witness is a primary source of information about the event; similarly, a scientific paper documenting a new experiment conducted by the author is a primary source on the outcome of that experiment. Historical documents such as diaries are primary sources.[c]

Policy: Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them.[d] Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages to describe the plot, but any interpretation needs a secondary source.

'''Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so.'''

'''Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.'''

Just thought this kind of reminder might be helpful, as, far as I can see, you have created multiple articles based on interpretations of the Navy List, for example, Rear-Admiral, Alexandria ↗, and then edit warred with me when I attempted to bring the articles more in line with policy.

Tennis Archives

Hi Navops! Sorry to pounce on your edits so quickly at Ip Koon Hung ↗. Something to keep in mind with the Tennis Archives website is that the data is very much incomplete. There are some editors here that discourage using it as a source completely, but I've usually found that what is listed to be reliable (except for how every second player was apparently born in Scotland, eg Ip ↗) Tournaments appearances for example are selective and limited to singles draws. As such, any claim of a player's career span is dubious if based on that data, as for example they may have featured in an earlier or later tournament in doubles only.

Thanks a lot for your brilliant work on creating tournaments articles. They're filling an important information gap and have been of great use to me personally.

Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 07:23, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

30px|link= ↗ You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war ↗. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate ↗ with others, to avoid editing disruptively ↗, and to try to reach a consensus ↗, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;'''
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page ↗ to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard ↗ or seek dispute resolution ↗. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection ↗.

"World" tennis season

Why do you insist on adding "world" to the title? It's unnecessary wordiness, it's not as if this is an official designation. Even better would probably simply be "1888 in men's tennis" and the like, just like it is done for most sports, but your preferred version really is not an improvement. Fram (talk) 13:31, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
::Because I believe it's more consistent with the later men's or women's world tennis circuit/tour pages and it's a season of world wide tournaments. Also 1970 Grand Prix (tennis) ↗ applied to another 19 articles is not an '''official designation''' but you insist on targeting these pages move the other pages also. ITF Men's World Tennis Tour ↗ ATP World Tour ↗.--Navops47 (talk) 14:05, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
:::There is no reason why our descriptive titles, as described by WP:CONCISE ↗, should be partially consistent with some aspect of later proper names. For consistency within Wikipedia and between sports, it would be best if we moved things to "year in sports name" version, which is nearly universally used on Wikipedia, e.g. 1888 in baseball ↗ or 2025 in men's road cycling ↗ (if we prefer to keep the men/women division) or 2020 in shooting ↗. As there was no official tour in these years, unlike the later ATP / WTA / ITF tours and the like, it is best to just a generic, Wikipedia-typical title format. Fram (talk) 14:24, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
