Wiki Edu Project[edit]

I will be doing some work on this for a school project. It is my intention to "bring this to life" by adding information about notable events and people, marine operations, and descriptions of what is done at the various facilities. I will do my best to make these additions complement the work that has already been done. If anyone would like to join in this project, I would be thrilled to collaborate. If there is anything that anyone is curious about or feels that should be included, please let me know and I will try to find the information to add it to the article.

Edits[edit]

I have made many edits to this article. If anyone would like to review these, please let me know if you find any inaccuracies in what I have written. I made small adjustments in some work that was previously done to improve the flow of the article.BoatnerdJenn (talk) 18:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I quickly looked over the article and have to say - while the prose is well done, the reference style is hard to track. The use of a bibliography and Template:Sfn would be greatly appreciated. Also, using Template:Citation to format your citations consistently would make them easier to understand. Recon rabbit 16:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you taking the time to look over the article and leave suggestions for improvement. I agree with what you said about the references. When I get some free time, I will work on making those more consistent and easy to follow. Thank you! BoatnerdJenn (talk) 15:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
