[edit] Sailing Infobox

I think you've been adding the infoboxes to sailboat pages, correct? Your raw code is a little concerning; are you copying it from somewhere? Or subst'ing a template? - Davandron | Talk 17:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I am the originator of the infoboxes. They are a hack copy from something else. When I started the project, I was the only one making them and no one noticed. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Minnesota1 17:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, good. I'm going to see about creating a sailboat infobox template. When I've got something, would you mind taking a look? - Davandron | Talk 13:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks for your sailboat spec infobox update to the Laser 4.7 page. Can you help me understand why the hull weight information doesn't display, even though it appears in the raw code? Is there a master infobox somewhere that needs to be updated? Thanks for your assistance. Wtroopwept 20:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 America's Cup

The results of the Louis Vuitton Cup should be in the Louis Vuitton Cup article. Do you agree? Boatman 07:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe less extensive results. I think a narrative would be better with final results. Minnesota1 19:25, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Ship Stub Problems

Sorry for the delayed response, do you have some examples of the boat taggings? -- pb30<talk> 15:19, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] == Phantom (sailboat) ==

Hello. This is more or less a retread of what I posted to Wtroopwept's page, so please forgive the apparent spam.

I've spotted a new dinghy article, Phantom (sailboat), set up by a new user. I've lent a hand WRT adding a few things, but there's a limit to my expertise in this area. So, as I noticed you've been involved in related articles, I thought I'd pass on the news to you, so you can alert interested parties. Thanks. --Turnipface 13:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. My main worry was the lack of info box (wouldn't really know what goes where), but if it's not needed, that's ok. --Turnipface 09:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:470logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:470logo.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
