Talk:HMCS Discovery

Deletion
Why is this page to be deleted? It is one of the few military bases in the Vancouver area. While it has an unremarkable history, and is an also ran to the older and larger Esquimalt. It should stay and not be deleted.

The base is highly visible from Carderos, the Convention centre, and the sea wall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.23.169 (talk) 05:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Article name, Command Team and role
A few comments/observations:

1) User Dcrice has chosen to change Discovery to 'DISCOVERY' throughout the article, but has left no reasoning. Just to add to the confusion, this stone frigate's article is entitled 'HMCS Discovery' i.e. first letter in upper-case, the rest of the word in lower-case. I always thought that ship's names were to be written in italics and words in capitals was tantamount to SHOUTING. So which way is right? 2) Does this article need a 'Command Team (complete with names) 2011'? Or any other year for that matter. 3) Does this sentence make sense to anyone? "During World War II the role of the reserves had to increase in order to maintain sufficent manpower." I think it could do with a re-write for clarity.

Due to these points, I have not ticked the 'milhist' box as far as 'grammar and style' are concerned. RASAM (talk) 19:55, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
