Help on Finding Ship's Sailing status
[edit]I have been reading secondhand reports from people involved with the San Diego Maritime Museum that HMS Surprise (replica ship) is not actively sailing, that work is focused on static preservation on the ship and that after hauling it to a dock earlier this year the decision was made to not renew the ship's licensing with the Coast Guard as an active sailing ship; with no plans in the future to bring it back to sail. From what I understand, this allows the museum to focus on maintaining their other active ships while doing conservation work on the Surprise with a focus on static display.
However, all of these reports are secondhand via Reddit and other social media comments; and the museum has not made any official statements regarding the ship's long term plans. I am pretty unfamiliar with finding ship information, is there any sort of source like a registration record that can be used to confirm if the ship is active or not? The article as it stands is written as if the ship still is sailing regularly, but from what I can tell the only times it has moved in the last few years has been under tow to and from docks for repair work. It makes the article seem dated, but without a better source I really don't know how to approach fixing the article. I did put in a "citation needed" tag earlier today on one of the bigger claims the ship is actively sailing, but is just a band-aid solution. Xboxtravis7992 (talk) 02:37, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
TfD: Single-use short sub-templates for Spruance-class destroyer infoboxes
[edit]I have listed 11 short sub-templates that had previous been included only by the {{Spruance class destroyer infobox ship characteristics}} infobox subtemplate — see the TfD at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 October 25 § Single-use short sub-templates for Spruance-class destroyer infoboxes. — sbb (talk) 22:58, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Duplicate Wikidata pages for "Kolomna-class cargo ship"
[edit]There are two Wikidata pages for the Kolomna class of cargo steamships, built in Rostock in the 1950s. (Q1779579) links to the German Wikipedia article "Kolomna (Schiffstyp)". (Q25230999) links to the English article "Kolomna-class cargo ship". I do not know how to fix this. I would be grateful if someone who knows how Wikidata works were to delete Q25230999 and link the English article to Q1779579 and the German article.

- I believe Tagishsimon is an expert on Wikidata matters. Mjroots (talk) 08:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
