Sorry for the late reply, I am without regular internet service at the moment. Feel free to recreate it as an article. Its only content was a blatant attack when I deleted it. I wouldn't delete it as an article. Dina 13:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. Needs populating still.LeadSongDog 17:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Callander Bay
Hi - I moved the discussion of all this from my talk page to Talk:Callander Bay so it would be more accessible to others, especially given the good refs you guys were digging up. The discussion can continue there- thanks for your good work. Cheers Geologyguy 23:32, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

HMCS Miramichi (J169)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of HMCS Miramichi (J169), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: :. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Canadian ships
Thanks for the work you are doing on Canadian ships. I'd like to invite you to join WP:SHIPS, where you will also find some documentation on Wiki conventions for ship-related articles. A couple things I'd like to quickly point out: Looking forward to seeing you at WP:SHIPS! Maralia 17:49, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The disambig pages you have been creating lately, such as HMCS Miramichi, aren't quite written to convention. It is important not to hide a hull/pennant number in a link on a disambig page - you should link as HMCS Miramichi (J169) rather than HMCS Miramichi. Additionally, as the articles already have distinct designations (hull number, pennant number, or year), assigning them roman numerals is confusing. The standard would be to say 'The first, HMCS Miramichi (J169), was a World War II' etc.
 * I noticed an edit today where you added a sort parameter to an article's categories at HMCS Restigouche (H00). I just wanted to point out that the DEFAULTSORT that was already in place in that article handles sorting automatically for all categories - if you use defaultsort, the only time you'd need to add a sort parameter to an individual category designation is when the ship had different names, like you did for HMS Comet (H00). Hopefully that will save you some typing!
 * Thanks for the encouragement and the pointers. I understood that the warship template may be under revision to address the buried pennant issue.  Certainly the List of ships of the Canadian Navy buries the pennants and shows the roman numerals. I've been making redirects from HMCS Whoopsplash (I) to HMCS Whoopsplash (BB00).  I'm agnostic on which way, but there's a lot of these out there each way, so a better way to make them all consistent would seem useful.LeadSongDog 18:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I rarely use warship and hadn't noticed that it doesn't display pennants as a default. It really should, since conceptually one normally would want the pennant displayed; however, if we changed the default now, it would change the display of potentially thousands of links - ugh. I'll take a look at the template. Thanks. Maralia 19:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
