Talk:Thomas Welsby Clark

Comments are unclear
Can someone clear up the nature of the comments in the chart discussing the several ships considered as possible origins of the float? For example, what does "too fast" mean? What is the significance of the various currents mentioned? Does this evidence argue for the ship in question as being the origin of the float, or against it? --Badger151 (talk) 02:47, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Questionable list?
What is the list based on? I'm not saying its made up, somebody obviously went to great effort to go through these ships. But if this is not referenced, it shouldn't be here, because it might be OR. Ingolfson (talk) 10:50, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Rename the article?
As the body has now been formally identified should this article be renamed? 220.235.204.24 (talk) 00:01, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest that the current article name is still appropriate given that the central issue the article covers is that the body was unidentified for so long. Nick-D (talk) 08:24, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I came here to say the same thing. Now that the body has been identified it's no longer an unknown. I don't understand the logic above because the present title suggests an ongoing mystery when in fact that unknown is now a known! The title "Unidentified body on Christmas Island" should be a redirect from something like "Sailor's body on Christmas Island" or "HMAS Sydney body found on Christmas Island" etc 194.75.10.106 (talk) 14:48, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree; I think this article should be named after the individual it refers to, not a previous mystery. It should have a redirect from the current title. Gehyra Australis (talk) 10:14, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I came here to ask about this and I see that a few people agree. I took the liberty to rename, and quickly reformulated the intro. The rest of the article could probably be restructured too. ~ nicolas (talk) 12:12, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
