Question/comment
Hi Thread 1972,

I see you've been doing a bunch of page moves. I don't have a problem with them, but because I'd hate for all that work to be for nothing, are you quite sure that CCGC isn't used anymore? If you are, then I'll leave you alone. If you're just pretty sure, can I suggest you discuss at WT:SHIPS or someplace to get a second opinion? While not required, usually people like to see a discussion before a large number of page moves like that, and it cuts down on arguments later.

Anyway, just a suggestion. Thanks for diving in and helping out. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:24, 10 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Got your reply on my talk page, thanks. Like I said, it didn't bother me, I was just slightly worried you might have been "pretty sure" of the change, and it would turn out to be more complicated for some reason, and there'd be lots of page moves to undo.  Sounds like everything is OK, though.  Cheers. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:30, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

a heads-up
Canadian Coast Guard Arun-class lifeboats was recently merged to Arun class lifeboat.

The justification the merge proposer made was "... they decribe the same class of boat. This article already has a section about the Canadian boats."

I missed the mergeto tag. I guess all of us who worked on the article did. I offered some reasons why I thought the the merge was a bad idea.

As someone who contributed to the original article I thought you should know. Geo Swan (talk) 07:47, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
