Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - wolf 05:59, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Thewolfchild: Evidence can be found in the following quotes+links, which include one source already existing from wikipedia.
1. <<The United States Navy maintains a number of its ships as part of a reserve fleet, often called the "Mothball Fleet".>> [1]
2. <<Most people call this the Ghost Fleet, or Mothball Fleet -- but its official name is the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet.>> [2]
3. <<After being laid up for years in the mothball fleet at Suisun Bay, she's the last ship from there scheduled to be dismantled.>> [3]/
4. <<The "Mothball Fleet" is about a mile off the coast of Suisan Bay, a body of water Northeast of San Francisco near the town of Benicia.>> [4]
While a person from San Francisco is more likely to say "Ghost Fleet", persons who grew up nearer to the fleet are more likely to call it "Mothball Fleet" as that was the term used in the area, which itself has a strong military presence. That is why I had put it is more commonly known as the "Mothball Fleet" and still mentioned others call it the "Ghost Fleet". Dlescure (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I placed an endorsement box because the candidate is endorsed by a legitimate organization and cited said source. I made two alterations to fix minor mistakes on my part. It was not vandalism. Dlescure (talk) 08:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
