Talk:USS Toledo (SSN-769)

September 2005

I removed an extraordinary claim that Toledo was at least present at and possibly caused the sinking of Kursk. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, yet the anonymous author of that claim did not provide any references whatsoever to support his statements. I will continue to remove such claims unless supported by reputable documentation. ➥the Epopt 13:43, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

The claim was made in the televison documentary "Kursk: A submarine in Troubled Waters" by french director Jean-Michel Carré. See this link this, rather for a synopsis of the documentary. --ZorroIII 22:07, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Wow. I'm removing the last statement in this article, as it is quite pov, and unreferenced. Actually there arent any references in this article. The only reference is another wiki article. Link to references, not wikipedia articles about the reference. I'm surprised nobody has noticed this. --Festus Mcracken 06

USS Toledo (SSN-769)

I noticed on USS Toledo (SSN-769) you reworded most of the article, is there a reason you did this? A 10 fireplane (talk) 15:29, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

• @A 10 fireplane: - In of itself, this is a rather odd question. By that I mean, I made that edit 5 months ago, and while I'm sure many others have also noticed it, you're the only to ask on all that time, about an article you've be we edited before. Is there a reason you're asking, other than you "noticed" it? - ^theWOLFchild 18:32, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

@Thewolfchild: oh sorry I worded my question wrong, what I meant was "How'd you keep track of your edit", moving everthing around would get confusing and I like the way you reworded it. I was just asking so I could reword some articles I've been looking at. Thank you A 10 fireplane (talk) 23:14, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Ah, I see... no problem. I've actually been asked this before, but there is no tool I use or any secret to it, I just open the the entire page for editing (instead of going section by section), start at the top and work my way down. I just look for typos, missing markup or templates, clunky writing, empty refs, non-standard section headers, spacing, and so on and so on, and make changes as I go. I use the "Show Preview" and "Show Changes" buttons several times before finally saving my edit. I've been editing ship/military and especially USN articles for several years now, so I sort of know what to look for and what usually works. If you're looking to make changes, I would suggest reading several other similar, established articles of the same subject to get a feel for how they're typically written. For example, if you're looking to improve some of the new Virginia-class submarine stubs, perhaps read through some of the Los Angeles-class submarine articles first. Hope this helps. - ^theWOLFchild 23:36, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

@Thewolfchild: yes sir it does help, thank you for your help and all that you do for Wikipedia. I hope to be as good as you one day. Happy editing A 10 fireplane (talk) 15:26, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
