Evaluation of your site
[edit]I took a look at your page, http://priens-u-boat-site.webs.com/ as you requested. Unfortunately, as a self-published source we cannot use it directly to verify information on articles. However, the site shows evidence of good writing and research skills. Why not use the sources you used to assemble your site to improve articles on submarines and their personnel? I will be pleased to help you with any of the details as in how Wikipedia works. For example, you should definitely propose any changes at an article's talk page unless they are utterly uncontroversial. Quote your reliable sources and clearly suggest the change you wish to make. If folks agree (and lack of reply can be taken as agreement in 48 hours or so), you should add the material with reference. Don't worry about formatting; I or another experienced Wikipedian can take3 care of that. Best wishes, and let me know if you need more help. --John (talk) 06:15, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello John,
Thanks for letting me know. I don't know which ones on U-Boats could use my help as I mainly focus on U 47, and some odds and ends. Since I'm a member (via the forum) of the UK's U-Boat Society, maybe some of their members could help me out in finding ones that could be edited - and then I could get back to you for help in editing them. Regarding my site - so my site cannot be linked at the bottom of the page on Prien like the U47.org's site even though his is self published as well?
Sincerely,
