Image

The stamp depicting a sailing vessel has also been used to illustrate the article on the dhow. Your editorial staff should determine whether it is a felucca or a dhow, and assign the stamp to the appropriate article. --Simon 27 November 2006

The second image shows no sailing vessel that i can see. Facius 11:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reference

I find that the only reference cited in the article is quite puzzling:

Vincent Zammit, The Gilded Felucca and Maltese Boatbuilding Techniques

This book has neither date nor place of edition. I looked for it both in google and in Amazon and found nothing. All references in the web seem copied from WP and lack place and date of edition. Moreover, the only site which has further informations (here) says that the book is written by Joseph Muscat, not by Vincent Zammit. It seems that the former is a politician and the second an informatician... I'm very perplexed. Can anybody help? --Vermondo 13:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding article

I'd like to about double the size of the article, using in part information from http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/feluccas.htm . Any thoughts? I'd be open to someone else doing this, particularly one with special knowledge. Piano non troppo (talk) 15:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

John Muir: problems

There is a statement about feluccas in and around San Francisco, apparently in the late nineteenth century, attributed to John Muir, the famous naturalist and preservationist, but without citation. He died in 1914. There is a (dead) external link to a history of Fisherman's Wharf to 1930, credited to "John Muir, an Associate Curator of Small Craft at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park." The first quotation must be properly cited, and the second John Muir must be distinguished from the first. J S Ayer (talk) 03:25, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to clear that up. John C. Muir, the modern curator, has been linked to the naturalist's page. That can be fixed. The external link marked "dead", isn't (possibly marked that way because there's so much blank space at the top of the archived snapshot when I viewed it, and you need to scroll down). That external link can be moved into article space as the citation for the quote, which its linked article seems to support. Dhtwiki (talk) 20:11, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that is vastly improved! J S Ayer (talk) 16:17, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
