Question from Anthonymrainey (13:06, 17 September 2025)

does wikipedia have any rules about self-consistency or anything? this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Pommern) states SMS Pommern was "the fastest pre-dreadnought battleship in the world" and describes its speed as 19 knots but this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_battleship_Regina_Margherita) states the Regina Margherita had a speed of 20 knots. It's so glaringly obvious that 20 knots is faster than 19 knots that I'm tempted to edit it, but I really want to be careful because I'm new to Wikipedia. --Anthonymrainey (talk) 13:06, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The issue isn't internal consistency, it's just probably what the work being referenced says. The authors of "Die deutschen Kriegsschiffe" likely weren't aware of the Regina Margherita when they made that statement. Rather than removing it, the statement could be attributed (the Pommern was described as the fastest pre-dreadnought battleship in the world), but if you should make the direct comparison is a better question for the military history editors. Try asking on the talk page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:SMS_Pommern -- Reconrabbit 13:43, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I asked on the talk page. Is there any way to draw the attention of military history editors to my question? Anthonymrainey (talk) 14:43, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Anthonymrainey: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history is the place to go. -- Reconrabbit 17:24, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sullyaire (15:54, 18 September 2025)

Hiya! I had a quick question about a page I did some copy-editing on! It said the page was proposed for deletion. What does that mean? --Sullyaire (talk) 15:54, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. It looks to me that the reason for proposed deletion did not apply, since the subject was notable for more than just one event. Following your copy editing it looks to be in good shape (if a bit short). Anyone can remove a "proposed deletion" template if they believe it to not apply, or if a full discussion is required. Thanks for your work. I'll recommend that the person who proposed the deletion research subjects further when considering deletion, since they are a very new editor. -- Reconrabbit 16:55, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see, that makes sense! Thank you! Sullyaire (talk) 20:17, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Platttenbau (14:18, 21 September 2025)

Hello! I am a long time Wikipedia reader and I am now thoroughly enjoying writing and editing articles. I have created a few now, but I was wondering what is the best way to get feedback on what I have written so far, so I can learn more for future articles. --Platttenbau (talk) 14:18, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have found success asking for feedback in the WikiProjects relevant to your article subjects. In your case, I guess Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canada and similar. -- Reconrabbit 01:51, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
