Talk:HMCS Kootenay (DDE 258)

message: Sources on the internet state that Kootenay was scuttled off Mexico in 2001 (or possibly 2001).  An unregistered user 66.119.179.93 made an edit changing "She was sunk off Mexico as an artificial reef in 2001." to "She was thought to have been sunk off Mexico as an artificial reef in 2001. There are no reports after 2001 to indicate she was sunk."  There seems to be no shortage of online sources stating that she was scuttled off Mexico in 2001 (or 2000).  I have not found any sources saying that this did not happen.  If somebody has some sources for a claim that this did not happen, then please quote them to justify casting doubt on the the statement that she was scuttled off Mexico in 2001.--Toddy1 (talk) 20:03, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Please provide cites for the assertion that it did. All I've seen is a blog entry, not a WP:RS.--User:LeadSongDog (talk) 03:52, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The narrative recently added by 2607:FEA8:C3E0:4130:5454:4B79:827:642B needs to be rewritten to meet Wikipedia standards for encyclopedic tone per MOS:WE. That said, the first person narrative style and the lack of a citation per WP:CITE suggests that this narrative was copied from an unknown source with minor or no edits, and plagiarism is a serious violation of Wikipedia policies. Alternately, it may the editor's own story, which would violate the central Wikipedia tenet of no original research. This story needs a citation meeting WP:RS or I will remove it.

replies: text: Deleted the addition, it is uncited, unencyclopedic and reeks of having been ripped from a blog. Had I noticed it earlier I would have reverted it on the spot. Llammakey (talk) 14:47, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I was going to give the editor 24 hours but that's fine! Let's keep an eye on this article; this sort of thing has a habit of resurfacing. Carguychris (talk) 15:21, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
