Duplicate Wikidata pages for "Kolomna-class cargo ship"
[edit]There are two Wikidata pages for the Kolomna class of cargo steamships, built in Rostock in the 1950s. (Q1779579) links to the German Wikipedia article "Kolomna (Schiffstyp)". (Q25230999) links to the English article "Kolomna-class cargo ship". I do not know how to fix this. I would be grateful if someone who knows how Wikidata works were to delete Q25230999 and link the English article to Q1779579 and the German article.
Thankyou, Motacilla (talk) 21:36, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- I believe Tagishsimon is an expert on Wikidata matters. Mjroots (talk) 08:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

DANFS down?
[edit]Is anybody else getting a 503 error on history.navy.mil? It seems to have gone down yesterday, and it's still not back up. Parsecboy (talk) 16:49, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I ask about it and then it comes back on. Parsecboy (talk) 21:59, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- The site always has issues, so this is routine. GGOTCC (talk) 12:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Talk:HMS Launceston Castle
[edit]Talk:HMS Launceston Castle states in the talk page header "This non-existent page does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale."!!! As the page is very much in existance, something is clearly wrong here, presumably associated with the articles recent move from HMS Launceston Castle (K397) to HMS Launceston Castle, but I cannot see why and how this can be fixed.Nigel Ish (talk) 21:56, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing that - it seems like normal to me? Maybe try refreshing the page and see if that fixes it. Parsecboy (talk) 21:59, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- I just redid the stub entry on the bannershell. It should show up as stub now. Llammakey (talk) 12:50, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Pontian boat
[edit]The Pontian boat was a lashed-lug boat built in the 3rd to 5th century CE and discovered near the town of Pontian in southern Pahang, Malaysia by British archaeologist Ivor Evans in 1926. It is one of the earliest examples of boat-building in Southeast Asia.
It would be great if someone would create an article about it. Mathglot (talk) 07:12, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Are you aware of the Viet Khe boat as per Bellwood, Peter; Cameron, Judith; Van Viet, Nguyen; Van Liem, Bui (March 2007). "Ancient Boats, Boat Timbers, and Locked Mortise-and-Tenon Joints from Bronze/Iron-Age Northern Vietnam". International Journal of Nautical Archaeology. 36 (1): 2–20. doi:10.1111/j.1095-9270.2006.00128.x.? This is an expanded logboat with raised sides, using lashed lug construction and is dated 500 to 300 BCE. There are a growing number of archaeologically investigated boats in SE Asia, so any "earliest example" statements are always at risk of being or becoming wrong. The other expanded logboats in the same paper are also of interest, though not quite so old. ThoughtIdRetired TIR 15:50, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
Suggested article splits from "Paddle steamer"
[edit]The paddle steamer article is pretty random, in more ways than one. One obvious issue with it, however, is IMO that there is too much material tangential to the topic. The two sections of concern are "Modern paddle steamers", and "Bangladesh" in the "History" section. The "modern paddle steamers" section is basically just a list of extant paddle steamers that adds nothing to the reader's understanding of paddle steamers, and looks quite out of place and WP:UNDUE. I am therefore proposing that it be moved to a new article with a name something like "List of extant paddle steamers".
The "Bangladesh" subsection of the "History" section also adds nothing of value given that the contribution of Bangladesh to the history of development or use of the paddlewheel lies somewhere between negligible and nonexistent. I therefore propose that it be moved to a new article named "Paddle steamers of Bangladesh" or something similar.

- Sounds like a good plan. Llammakey (talk) 12:56, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
