SS Edmund Fitzgerald

I see that you've been trying to change some information about the dive to retrieve the ship's bell. Is there any reason why you think MacInnes shouldn't be mentioned in conjunction with this? The article on the SS Edmund Fitzgerald is a Featured Article, which means it has been reviewed by multiple editors and judged against a set of stringent criteria to be among our best articles; only about 0.1% of articles are FAs. That doesn't mean that the article cannot be improved further, but we like to make additional changes in more measured fashions.

I see that you've tried to add a source for your version of the text, but {{Gwalchmai|Sea Technology|December|1995|p=10}} only produces "{{Gwalchmai|Sea Technology|December|1995|p=10}}" for output because we don't have a template named "Gwalchmai". I'm assuming you're trying to cite some source that isn't in the article already. It might help if you would post on Talk:Edmund Fitzgerald with the information on this source along with your reasons for changing the text. Then we can discuss the situation, help you to figure out how to code the reference, and then maybe update the text of the article. Imzadi 1979 → 00:00, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
