The "History of" section needs links!
Please add some relevant links to the history section.

Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

Ship transport
Why does the ship transport section list El Nino? The connection seems pretty tenuous; why not Gulf Stream or even the Sun (since without it there'd be no wind, hence no wind-powered ships)? SeanWillard (talk) 18:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

merge proposal
New stub lists a few fictional forms of transport - seems to me that this content would be better in this article which already has a section including fictional transport, with not much overlap if any. PamD (talk) 15:10, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

 * As an alternative, it could be put back in Animal-powered transport from where it was split...

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:12, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
