Don't know a lot about boats but would like some opinions

Hey, how's it going? I am about to write an article about a dredger (the Mallard II) which is currently (not even started) at User:JPxG/Draft24. Would you be able to tell me what you think when I've got it a bit more put together? I don't want to miss out on any important information, but I'm not familiar with writing articles about watercraft. Cheers, jp×g 10:34, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JPxG: Sure. I'd be happy to to take a look at it once you are done. Also, I hope you don't mind, but I added a blank ship infobox to the draft. GreatLakesShips (talk) 14:09, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox and the minor edits have been helpful. I've written about as much as I think I can write about this, although I could probably still find some more to put in by the time GA rolls around... I am not sure that I've been grammatically correct in everything (especially italics, definite articles referring to it, as well as "is it a ship or a boat?"), so if you wanna give it a once-over, go nuts. jp×g 22:54, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JPxG: As soon as I have finished my new article, which I hope to have done by tomorrow, I will do some work on your article. GreatLakesShips (talk) 22:58, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SS Edward L. Ryerson

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article SS Edward L. Ryerson has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

You'll notice I added "Upper" to "Great Lakes" which is more accurate. I assume the ship never sailed on Lakes Erie or Ontario.

Before you submit the article for FA consideration, there are a few things that need to be fixed, which appear to have been missed during the GA assessment. This sentence - "She is one of only two American-owned straight deck lake freighters, the other one being the 1958-built freighter John Sherwin." - appears in the lede but not in the body of the article. It should be included there with a citation.

A work by Tom Wenstadt is cited throughout the article. This work is self-published, which does not necessarily mean it is unreliable. However, if you can cite the same information with "traditional" sources, I suggest you do so. (See: Wikipedia:Identifying and using self-published works)

One obvious question not covered in the article is the total cost of building the ship. Is that figure available? The ship has been sitting unused for 13 years. The article does not say so, but I assume that other (foreign) sources of cheap steel have devastated the U.S. steel industry and there is no need (or a dramatically reduced need) for iron ore. Perhaps you could expand on this? I assume you found nothing to indicate any future plans for the ship?

Those are all the issues I found. Best of luck with the FA when you get to it.

Regards,

Question on Great Lakes storm of 1913 sunken ship co-ordinates

I've been responding to a very thorough FAR of this article. A question arose on sourcing the coordinates of the sunken ships, which I noticed that you added. Could you tell me where you got those from? Any answer is cool. For example, if you derived them from the Brown map I think I could just note that and keep them. Thanks. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 23:02, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@North8000: I seem to remember getting the co-ordinates for the Hydrus and Argus off Wrecksite. I believe the others came from the rest of the articles in this section.

Edit revert

GreatLakesShips, I wanted to discuss this edit, in which you undid a previous good faith edit I had made. There was no edit summary, so I'm not sure the reason for the revert. Could we discuss? Thanks! CaptainAngus (talk) 02:06, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CaptainAngus: I have been unable to find any evidence to suggest that the Gunilda had any female crew members, and most sailors on the Great Lakes at the time were men. Also, "manned by a crew of 20" reads better than "carrying a crew of 20". "Manned" is a widely used and understood phrase, and removing it from Wikipedia is utterly ludicrous. GreatLakesShips (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GreatLakesShips: The change brings the article in-line with MOS:GNL. We could certainly find a different way of stating it, if you'd prefer. How about "Crewed by a complement of 20"? This wording preserves the original intent and is actually more logically correct, as a steam yacht does not require men to crew it, either gender would suffice.

{{re|CaptainAngus}] When it comes to the word "manned", MOS:GNL only explicitly states it should be avoided when referring to space programs. Furthermore, the big discussion that happened last August ended with no clear consensus. GreatLakesShips (talk) 23:03, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GreatLakesShips: I would disagree with the interpretation that MOS:GNL only applies to space programs. Would you object to the following phrasing: "Crewed by a complement of 20"? This wording preserves the original intent and brings the article in-line with MOS:GNL. I would again state that there is nothing that special about sailing a yacht that requires a particular gender; the emphasis of the phrase is on the size of the crew for this particular boat, which is captured by the proposed edit. CaptainAngus (talk) 02:07, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CaptainAngus: This change brings nothing to the article, and given how the debate on the usage of "manned" ended without a consensus, I believe MOS:VAR applies here. GreatLakesShips (talk) 21:47, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GreatLakesShips: I will defer to your preference here, but humor me as I make one more pitch. Our discussion has helped me understand your personal perspective, but I still think the use of the word 'manned' is potentially misleading. If you pick any random visitor that might come across this page, they are not all going to have the same historical context you're citing. The original phrasing does not tell the full story that a crew of any gender is able to sail. I get the value in the recommendations of MOS:VAR, but I personally think this is more than just a question of writing style; the statement is logically incorrect. Appreciate the discussion.

S.S. Cayuga

GreatLakesShips. I just finished copy editing SS Cayuga. Terrific article. Most of my edits were smaller, style and grammar stuff. One big edit - I took a lot of content out of the lead section in accordance with WP:MOS/Lead Section. The editor who awarded the article a well-earned GA status pointed out that the lead needed to be more concise; I agreed with him. Nothing was lost; all content remains in the body of the article. Nice work!I enjoyed reading and editing it. I also added the article to the disambiguation page. Cleveland Todd (talk) 19:43, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I did not realize you were British. I changed some of the spellings in the article to the US version. I can change them back if you wish. Sorry. Cleveland Todd (talk) 16:31, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SS Manasoo

Hi -- I took a look and would be happy to review it again, but I wanted to check a couple of things with you first. I see you managed to find replacements for steamboatstories.ca, which is great. I also see that all the newspaper stories cited to MHGL are now cited to the papers themselves, which is also good to see. However there are still many citations to this page, which is one of the sites we'd like to replace. Can anything be done about that? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:17, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Christie: This one wasn't flagged in the original review. This is a site I've used very widely, and it has always been accepted, even in an FA nomination.

OK, I'll take another look. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:31, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just looked at the PS Keystone State review and I see you went to some trouble there to change all the references to that site to references to the original newspapers that it was showing. The site was questioned there by Ealdgyth, and after I agreed with her you started going through and changing them all; that's how we got that article through GA. For the Manasoo, I see you did the same thing. The difference is that here you are also citing a page written by that site, not just copied from elsewhere -- that wasn't the case with the Keystone State. So I had a look at the source of that page; it comes from the Scanner, the journal of the Toronto Marine Historical Society. That issue was edited by Jay Bascom, who appears not have any academic qualifications, so I went looking for other reliable sources that cite him, as evidence that he is regarded as reliable. I found him described in Ships and Shipwrecks: Stories from the Great Lakes by Richard Gebhart as "Jay's standing in the realm of Great Lakes maritime historians is unsurpassed on either side of the U.S.-Canada border". I think that's good enough, certainly for GA. I'll pick up the review in a moment -- it might take me a day or two to complete it.
