User talk:Woffio

Hi, I see you've created articles on the the Belgol-class tankers. These should all be at titles in the style of "RFA Foo", not HMS Foo. The HMS Belgol article which you created has been nominated for deletion. Please do not move the article while the AfD discussion is ongoing. It can be moved later if kept. I've expanded the article, and it should now survive. Please take a look at the article and the sources used. We are lucky to have the Historical RFA's website to use as a source for writing articles on Royal Fleet Auxiliary ships. Convoyweb has extensive coverage of Convoys during WWII. The Times is a great newspaper source, which can turn up all sorts of information. One last thing, you wrote the article in the neuter gender (the ship, it), as is your right. Personally, I prefer to write in the feminine gender (she, her), as I find it makes for a better flow (e.g. MV Éridan (1928)). Per established convention, I have not changed this in the Belgol article. As the notice above says, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you will enjoy it here. Any questions, please ask.

I MOVED IT, YOU COULD'VE DONE ASWELL, AND ALSO IT GOT EDITED BECAUSE IT'S PUBLIC. Woffio (talk) 06:56, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey, calm down! There is no need to shout. You're new here, so I'm making allowances per WP:NOOB. Yes, I could have moved the article, but convention is that articles at AfD are not moved while the discussion is ongoing. That is why I didn't move it.

Moving forward, what are your thoughts on expanding the other Belgol-class tanker articles you created? You've seen what can be done. I can help you with sources, such as those listed at WP:SHIPS/R. If you don't have access to The Times online archive, I can add from that source, after you've done as much as you can from the sources you can access. Mjroots (talk) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

can you find other sources cuz when i search the ship there's like only the historical website Woffio (talk) 01:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

like can u give a small list here Woffio (talk) 04:12, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Sure, as you're new, I will give you some sources to expand the articles with.

• Slavol - Historical RFA, Shipping & Shipbuilding Research Trust, Convoyweb (enter convoy code and number to bring up that convoy's page), Uboat
• Rapidol - Historical RFA, Shipping & Shipbuilding Research Trust, Convoyweb (enter convoy code and number to bring up that convoy's page)
• Fortol - Historical RFA, Shipping & Shipbuilding Research Trust, Convoyweb (enter convoy code and number to bring up that convoy's page)
• Celerol - Historical RFA, Shipping & Shipbuilding Research Trust, Searle
• Vitol - Historical RFA, Shipping & Shipbuilding Research Trust
• Montenol - Historical RFA, Shipping & Shipbuilding Research Trust, Convoyweb (enter convoy code and number to bring up that convoy's page), Uboat
• Serbol - Historical RFA, Shipping & Shipbuilding Research Trust, Convoyweb (enter convoy code and number to bring up that convoy's page)
• Prestol - Historical RFA, Shipping & Shipbuilding Research Trust, Convoyweb (enter convoy code and number to bring up that convoy's page)
• Francol - Historical RFA, Shipping & Shipbuilding Research Trust, Convoyweb (enter convoy code and number to bring up that convoy's page)

That should keep you going! Mjroots (talk) 10:15, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

thank you sir Woffio (talk) 23:24, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

how does convoy web work? Woffio (talk) 01:28, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

You need to enter the convoy code and number into the boxes. For example, enter PQ and 17, click "find convoy" and a link should appear for the convoy's page. Mjroots (talk) 06:56, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

ok thank Woffio (talk) 23:21, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for building new content here, but I don't think that there is enough information out there for all the ships separately. I think that there is enough for the class as a whole (what a busy time they had in 1917!). So, I've merged most of the individual articles back into the class article; most of the content was duplication, and the content is almost entirely sources from a single database. So, I recommend focussing on building and refining the class article. If that gets WP:TOOBIG, the individual ships can be WP:SPLIT from the article. Klbrain (talk) 21:02, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Wow 31 hours, i haven't even edited in days, like what is this supposed to do, scare me? Woffio (talk) 23:34, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

No, it's supposed to be a wake-up call that your conduct is unbecoming of a Wikipedia contributor, Since your comment here makes it abundantly clear the wake-up call will go unanswered, you have been indefinitely blocked from editing due to your clearly being not compatible with a collaborative project. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:42, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Not that, I hope and trust, after Woffio's last spammed nonsense, there's the chance of a snowball in Hell that the block would be removed (and I'm sure folks would go for a CBAN at ANI fifteen minutes later). Ravenswing 04:24, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
