[edit]Hello, I'm KylieTastic. I noticed that you recently removed content from Hawaiian Chieftain without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

- Hi,
- I didn't "adequately explained" my modifications because they were all minor. I don't recall removing any information but corrected an inappropriate format and while I was there, I rewrote some of the infos into a style that is more accurate in the nautical industry (see SV LADY WASHINGTON page).
- I see you removed all my corrections (except those about the format errors).
- I'm not sure I understand why.
- I did it all thinking it was best (except an error I made with "sail plan" that I obviously mistook for "sail area").
- Yet I have never heard of "sparred length" for a ship! The adequate expression is LOA (Length overall).
- Grammatically the ship is a "square topsail ketch". Capital letters are not justified since it is not a title or anything of the sort, that's why I also changed this. I consider this very minor corrections, as it is about grammar. Just like other minor corrections I did but do not recall now.
- It's your choice to cancel everything as a bulk but it looks to me as a very personal decision quite unfounded. I won't interfere again as it is time lost for me. LaVoileuse (talk) 20:19, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry but the changes were not "all minor" - you broke the image changing File:Hawaiian Chieftain Commencement Bay.jpg to File:IMG 0942.JPG which is why I noticed, but you also removed all the references and refernce section; you also removed valid categories and added three invalid ones? Did you look at your actual edit this as looking at your other edits it does appear unusual? I'm wondering if this was just a mistake somehow and your actual edit was not what you intended.
