Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships


This was a draft I created at the end of last summer. Since then progress has been slow. A lot of the content was copied from the Titanic article. The proposed article would go over the development and the pre-voyage history of the Titanic, the construction, and how the construction and faults could've led to the sinking. The draft at this point needs improvement. If you search for information on the "Construction of the Titanic," it's often scattered to different places. People don't have time to do deep dives on the internet, so that's where Wikipedia comes in. RanDom 404 (talk) 14:45, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know of any particularly good sources that discuss the namesakes of ships? While the SIA itself suggests Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy, I'd be interested to know who exactly the various HMS Hardys were named for, given that we also have Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Hardy, Admiral Sir Charles Hardy, Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy, and Captain Temple Hardy.

Hello, everyone! I have been working on an article, and have a question regarding what the flag in the ship infobox represents. Is the flag of registry (the nation/authority which the vessel is under) or is the current owner of the vessel? If so, would it be appropriate to place the flag of a private company into the box to indicate such?

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:SS Lavia#Requested move 4 June 2022 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. ASUKITE 14:06, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article cruiseferry has been without sources for thirteen and a half years now. I tried to find sources by googling for "cruiseferry" but could not find anything usable. The article Baltic Sea cruiseferries linked from the article, on the other hand, has quite many sources. Otherwise I would suggest merging cruiseferry to Baltic Sea cruiseferries or deleting it altogether, but then there would be no article on the English Wikipedia presenting a world-wide view of cruiseferries.
