Ship pronouns

edit

Please do not change these without discussing it prior to making the change. The proper place to suggest blanket changes to multiple articles would be at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships. Thanks, -MBK004 04:36, 27 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely bring it up at WT:SHIPS, because we don't go by what someone wants, we go by our own consensus, which in some cases you are blatantly violating when you change an article that already uses the pronouns a certain way. There actually is a clause in the MilMOS about this and since everything on wikipedia is based on consensus, I absolutely recommend discussing this before you continue at all on the pronoun issue. -MBK004 20:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

A friendly reminder

  Edit summary reminder
Hello. I noticed that your edit to WT:SHIPS did not include an edit summary. Please remember to use one for every edit, even minor ones. You can enable the wiki software to prompt you for one before making an edit by setting your user preferences (under Editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". Thanks, -MBK004 05:04, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
