[edit]

Two redirect pages may be in order for this article. There is already an article Santa Paula but it pertains to the 1958 built ship. This article would make the second ship name Montanan to be sunk in war service.

Ship Year?

[edit]

This article was named Santa Paula (1916) because another editor Benea had moved SS Santa Rosa (1917) to SS Santa Rosa (1916) citing "dab by year of launch, per WP:Naming conventions (ships))". While I do not have an exact date for the Santa Paula's launch, her completion date of April 1917 would have most likely placed her launch date in 1916. So now I'm confused on what it is to be because a recent editor BusterD has placed this article in 1917, rather than 1916, category ships. NightSt✷r talk 13:27, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A mistake on my part. Fixed it. BusterD (talk) 13:32, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copying

[edit]

The last paragraph appears to be taken verbatim from this source. Unless that source is public domain, or copyright has been released, the paragraph needs to be deleted and the content completely rewritten. Kablammo (talk) 11:58, 7 October 2012 (UTC) I have truncated the section to remove the parts taken verbatim from the source. I did not check other parts of the article against their respective sources. Kablammo (talk) 12:30, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph has been completely rewritten. If the re-write is still too close to the copyrighted material it may be necessary to just give the basic facts of the ship sinking without a description of the event or the fate of the crew. The other reference, which cites another section of the SS Arkansan web site, was a summary of a crew member's inter-war years service and used to summarize her itinearies.
