My research on Midway Class Carrier is quite in-depth and diverse while examining through several blueprints and diagrams and trying piece information together while trying be historically accurate as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Big Confused Noob (talk • contribs) 11:10, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

In your recent additions to this article, you noted the sources in your edit summary, instead of adding them to the article. This is next to useless, as readers won't, and shouldn't have to, search through the page history for references. Please ensure your sources are, first reliable (we can't use content from every random website, it needs to meet certain criteria), and then add your sources per WP:CITE. For more assistance, see Help:Referencing for beginners, and for any questions, contact the Help Desk. Thank you - wolf 16:41, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Your edits were removed today (by another editor) as they contained what are considered self-published sources. This is why I had encouraged you to read our policies & guidelines, specifically our guideline on sourcing. But further to that, you really should read through the 'welcome' box above, and all the links it contains, before you edit any further. There is a great deal of useful information there for new and inexperienced users. It can help you to add or change information correctly, and help you to determine which sources are useful. Ultimately, this can help you to add worthwhile content, instead of wasting your time, or the time of our readers and your fellow editors. I would also encourage you make use of the Teahouse, a resource for beginners, see:
