Belgol
Hi, I see you've created articles on the the Belgol-class tankers. These should all be at titles in the style of "RFA Foo", not HMS Foo. The HMS Belgol article which you created has been nominated for deletion. Please do not move the article while the AfD discussion is ongoing. It can be moved later if kept. I've expanded the article, and it should now survive. Please take a look at the article and the sources used. We are lucky to have the Historical RFA's website to use as a source for writing articles on Royal Fleet Auxiliary ships. Convoyweb has extensive coverage of Convoys during WWII. The Times is a great newspaper source, which can turn up all sorts of information. One last thing, you wrote the article in the neuter gender (the ship, it), as is your right. Personally, I prefer to write in the feminine gender (she, her), as I find it makes for a better flow (e.g. MV Éridan (1928)). Per established convention, I have not changed this in the Belgol article. As the notice above says, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you will enjoy it here. Any questions, please ask.

- I MOVED IT, YOU COULD'VE DONE ASWELL, AND ALSO IT GOT EDITED BECAUSE IT'S PUBLIC. Woffio (talk) 06:56, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hey, calm down! There is no need to shout. You're new here, so I'm making allowances per WP:NOOB. Yes, I could have moved the article, but convention is that articles at AfD are not moved while the discussion is ongoing. That is why I didn't move it.
- Moving forward, what are your thoughts on expanding the other Belgol-class tanker articles you created? You've seen what can be done. I can help you with sources, such as those listed at WP:SHIPS/R. If you don't have access to The Times online archive, I can add from that source, after you've done as much as you can from the sources you can access. Mjroots (talk) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- can you find other sources cuz when i search the ship there's like only the historical website Woffio (talk) 01:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

- how does convoy web work? Woffio (talk) 01:28, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- You need to enter the convoy code and number into the boxes. For example, enter PQ and 17, click "find convoy" and a link should appear for the convoy's page. Mjroots (talk) 06:56, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- ok thank Woffio (talk) 23:21, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
