If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Soviet submarine K-129 (Golf II), you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. It would seem that you are promoting a website and/or project which is directly related to the Wikipedia's encyclopedic content on Soviet submarine K-129 (Golf II), Azorian, Project Jennifer, USNS Glomar Explorer (T-AG-193), and others. You may be an eager researcher or fanatic of the topic (given your long history of edits), or perhaps you are involved directly with this project professionally. Consider that this is encyclopedia, and you have begun to promote an endeavor either for financial gain of yourself or someone. While the project may have a major effect on this article and others which you are editing, you need to work on WP:POV and WP:OR issues. I like to saw logs! (talk) 07:52, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

When a citation is needed, this citation needs to be from a reliable source, see WP:RS for more info on this. Wikipedia cannot use itself as a source because to point of a source is to get outside verification of the fact. Until(1 == 2) 19:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
To start with, I split out the part about Project Jennifer. I did keep the stuff from Red Star Rouge. Though I generally agree with you about the book's accuracy, it should be at least mentioned. I did add a bit that made it quite clear that the book was controversial. SirBob42 09:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I've recently added cite requested to the chart in the Tuckahoe-Cohee article because from everything I've read about the period in question - first the terms were used pretty loosely and - second a more rigid definition might be more useful. I think the Tuckahoes were the ruling elite and their relatives and close friends in VA and NC. The Cohees were primarily the Presbyterian Scotch Irish/Northern Border English settlers who moved into the trans-Allegheny section of VA and NC. To expand that (as it may have been on occasion) dilutes the meaning. Poor white trash living in coastal VA were not Tuckahoes. And wealthy landowners in western VA were not Cohees. In general this seems clear enough in the article- but becomes distorted in the chart. Lutherans would not generally have been called Cohees nor would they have accepted the Evangelical label in the time period in question. Since you are the main force in this article I'm writing to see if you think I'm wrong in my assumptions.(being wrong would not be a new thing in my life) Nitpyck (talk) 08:49, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

I noticed you are having trouble with inserting an image into the article. Where is the image? Is it on Wikimedia Commons or elsewhere? Mjroots (talk) 07:25, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
OK, thanks again.Gwyncann (talk) 03:31, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey: I'm the attorney for Triton Submarines and I put a chonk of stuff on the Challenger Deep talk page because I don't materially edit the content pages myself. However, with the 2020 Ring of Fire expedition underway, and the landing yesterday by Victor Vescovo and Kathryn Sullivan, I wanted to ping you and let you know there was activity in this space again and maybe was wondering if you would take a look at the whole manned, er, crewed mission stuff to get it cleaned up. Happy to feed you refs anywhere you would like to help it along. Thanks!--Brad Patrick (talk) 13:48, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Challenger Deep, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ROV and Swath (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Aquanauts Who Have Dived to the Bottom of the Challenger Deep, from its old location at User:Gwyncann/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055talk - contribs 18:52, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
