Talk:Iberian ship development, 1400–1600

Requested move
Iberian ship development from 1400—1600 → Iberian ship development, 1400–1600 – The present form invites the question "from between 1400 and 1600 to what?"; and the em-dash needs changing to en-dash. I am similarly proposing: —Tamfang (talk) 16:43, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Iberian cartography from 1400-1600 &rarr; Iberian cartography, 1400–1600
 * Iberian Nautical Sciences from 1400-1600 &rarr; Iberian nautical sciences, 1400–1600
 * Iberian technology in nautical sciences, cartography and ship development from 1400—1600 &rarr; Iberian technology in nautical sciences, cartography and ship development, 1400–1600

Moved. Standard formatting. — kwami (talk) 21:59, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Needs Better Writing
This article is still phenomenally poorly written, however extensive and well-cited. I am going to propose a merger into another better-written piece. Suggestions? KDS 4444 Talk   10:47, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know that the answer to the poor writing is a merger with another article. It simply needs to be re-written.  It sounds as if it may have been poorly translated into English from some other language. Tmangray (talk) 06:33, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

I am trying to improve the writing, but it may need some re-organization.Divers Alarums (talk) 15:04, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Major reference usage
This article relies extensively on Roger C. Smith. Vanguard of the Empire: Ships of Exploration in the Age of Columbus. (Oxford University Press, New York: 1993). What is strange is that this book is 316 pages long, but the highest page number for this reference in this article is 47. Given that the reference's subject matter is very close to that of this article, it seems very odd that the there is no material in the remaining 269 pages that would usefully be covered here.
