Talk:SS Dakotan

Date linking style
The Manual of Style no longer requires date linking, so I would like to propose that this article switch to the cleaner unlinked date style. I have boldly made the change, but feel free to revert and discuss here. (Note that linking single years or years in a month–year combo is discouraged under the date linking system, so I have removed those in a separate edit.) — Bellhalla (talk) 06:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Slave Ship?
While serving in the far east, was the Dakotan among the ships used by to transport slave workers to the Magadan mines?68.111.71.197 (talk) 00:43, 20 November 2010 (UTC)


 * See Magadan (a port city) and Kolyma (the region) for details about the gold mining in the Gulag in the Russian far east. There are numerous sources in those two articles, and perhaps another editor can answer this question. --DThomsen8 (talk) 01:08, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Note technique
For me, the use of  along with a Note section containing  to create a separately numbered series of notes from the usual inline citations is interesting and worthy of attention, especially for veteran editors who may need the technique in other articles where explanatory footnotes are needed. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:44, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Code Letters
This article makes no mention of the Code Letters used by Dakotan. Details of these can be found on the webpages linked from here. There was a worldwide change of Code Letters in 1934. Mjroots2 (talk) 06:21, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Lead
Just a couple of observations... The summary on the main page is excellent - it drew me in, certainly. But the lead in the article proper seems poor to me - the first paragraph appears to be a summary of the rest of the lead - is this necessary? I'm sure this cound be rearranged to better introduce the article. 194.205.143.129 (talk) 18:22, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
