As I have been looking at pictures I have posted in the past I have noticed that a number have been renamed by what I guess would be administrators.
Well, the problem is the "corrections" they are doing are not always correct.
For example, when I have named a US Navy LCAC as "US Navy LCAC XX", the administrator has renamed them "USS LCAC XX". The problem is that are not commissioned (nor ever have been) and there for not entitled to be referred to as "USS". I know this may be a "minor" thing, but in the interest of accuracy I have striven to label pictures correctly and to have them mislabeled as a correction is incorrect, IMHO.
Another example, is my label of "US Navy Harbor Security Boat XXX" has been changed to a simple USN Harbor Security Boat. These boats carry specific numbers and when I can, I try to identify them as such. Also, it causes them to be combined with boats that are clearly not the same.
Finally, I strive to use the correct spelling of names when posting. One is using periods when indicated, while I understand the site does not like this, to not do so is inaccurate. Also, "USCGC Flyingfish" is clearly ONE word on all the official documentation I can find, not two.
While I know many of you will disagree with me, and it is not normal to call out administrators (trust me, I know you job must be hard and try to respect your decisions as much as I can), accuracy is important to me and I hope there is some middle ground we can meet.
Also, I have a decent knowledge of naval ships and I more than willing to assist when needed in properly identifying or labeling them on the site (in fact would look forward to the challenge), all you have to do is ask.
Thanks, and please understand I am not trying to be disrespectful, just express my thoughts.
