[edit] Solway Harvester

Hi, thank you for your good faith edits so far. But the infobox in use on that page has been designed by contributors at WP:SHIPS and some of the fields can be confused. In this case, the 'in service' field is used to describe a period of active service, which might be interrupted by decommissioning, recommissioning, periods in which the ship has been laid up for sale, etc. In this case, we have the launch date, and the date of her sinking, which gives the same information more clearly, and it is therefore redundant anyway to repeat this in the 'in service' field. Please discuss this before re-adding it if you still disagree, either on my talkpage or the article's talk page. Thanks, Benea (talk) 20:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Solway Harvester. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. This is not a personal attack, it is a friendly notice which is being sent to both editors with the aim of gaining concensus. Thanks, Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 13:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I see you have re-added the field. I won't revert it, particularly because of the above. But please read the wikipedia guidelines. That infobox has been established for a reason and we try to keep them standardised by using the fields consistently to mean the same thing, to avoid confusion across articles. If you have a specific reason for re-adding the fields, please bring it to the article talk page or my talk page and we can discuss it. I notice that a lot of your recent edits have been reverted. Please try to have look through the guidelines you have been offered to see why this might be the case and above all, please communicate. Thank you. Benea (talk) 15:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Right Okay thanks Worcestershire'man (talk) 16:29, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
