[edit] Your Truxtun cruiser edits
Your edits to USS Truxtun (CGN-35) and Truxtun class cruiser look great, however you should be aware of a couple of items:
- In one of your edits [1] you noted the ship was built in New Jersey and changed the category. However the United States Navy state-related ships category is not a reference for where the ship was built, but instead from where the person whom the ship was named after was from. Since Thomas Truxtun was from Hempstead (village), New York, the proper cat for Truxtun is Category:United States Navy New York-related ships. I did go ahead and fix this.
- You also noted [2] that the Phalanx CIWS was installed in 1981. Can you find an external source for this? While I have no doubt that you are correct, official wikipedia policy requires that content have a verified source and personal experience is specifically forbidden. Right now the Phalanx content is attributed to the Haze Gray website (which apparently has the wrong info).
Again, good work on the articles, and thanks for helping to keep them accurate! --Kralizec! (talk) 15:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] DC Meetup notice
Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Maryland, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 00:28, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
