Talk:USC&GS Dailhache

Incorrect information
There was no USC&GS named DAILHACHE. This vessel went to the Public Health Service as BAILHACHE, named for Dr. Preston Heath Bailhache (1835-1919). She was sold in 1934, becoming yacht MOBY DICK.

I know you won't correct this, but slavishly following an error laden publication like DANFS without correcting those errors doesn't lend you much credence as a reputable source. 2604:6000:6D42:4800:0:0:0:2 (talk) 21:32, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the tip. How did you know no one would correct it? It took four years for me to stumble across your coment, but as soon as I did, I did some research and corrected the error. You are correct that some DANFS entries are of lower quality, and the Naval History and Heritage Command's efforts to upgrade DANFS is not yet complete, but there are no grounds for making a blanket condemnation of DANFS or its users, as DANFS nonetheless has a great deal of good information that can make excellent starting points for Wikipedia articles. In the future, you might try avoiding a judgmental or accusatory tone toward Wikipedia editors you do not know personally or their commitment to improving articles as new information becomes available. Wikipedia always is a work in progress, and suggestions for improvement are always welcome, but personal attacks are unnecessary — especially as a way of opening an article discussion.
