Another RfC on capitalization of all our articles
I thought this was a done deal back in this 2022 RFC but obviously not. A handful of editors did another rfc with no sports projects input at all. And it's being challenged because we just noticed it. This could affect almost every single tennis and Olympic article we have, and goodness know how many other sports. Some may have already been moved it you weren't watching the article. And not just the article titles will be affected but all the player bios that link to the articles. Sure the links would be piped to the right place if thousands of articles moved, but if the wording in a bio still said 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles or Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre backstroke that would likely need to be changed by hand. There is also talk of removing the ndash completely.

Perhaps this is what sports projects want and perhaps not. Either way I certainly don't want projects ill-informed as the last RfC was handled. Express your thoughts at the following rfc. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Photo needed for Heaving to
Heaving to could really do with a photo of a modern yacht hove to, if only to balance the historic painting I have added of a square rigged vessel. If there isn't one on commons, does anyone have a snap they have taken that may be suitable?

The article already has an informative diagram. ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 11:54, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Please fix my father and uncle's names
Glenn Corcorran and Murray Corcorran are the designers of the Dolphin 15 Senior and the Dolphin 17. As they are both deceased, I (Murray's daughter, Glenn's niece) am trying to fix their legacy on every site I find it on because it is wrong everywhere. Their last names were Corcorran with 3Rs. Thank you! If you need proof of who I am and what their last name was, please feel free to reach out and I can provide you with anything you need. Shesasue (talk) 22:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Please add a citation or two to Furl (sailing)
This article:


 * Furl (sailing)

...has been "Unreferenced" since September 2008. Could someone with sailing knowledge please find and add at least one citation to the article, so we can remove the Unreferenced tag?

(Alternatively, if you think the article should Redirect elsewhere, that may also be a solution.) Thanks. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:46, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
