Talk:Mathew Baker (shipwright)

message: Can anyone clarify the spelling of this guy's name? An internet search indicates some ambiguity between 'Mathew' and 'Matthew'—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ziggurat (talk • contribs) 03:14, 22 September 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Please bear in mind we're talking about the 16th Century.  Shakespeare was capable of signing his name with different spellings twice on the same document, so we can accept that Mathew (Matthew) Baker would have used both forms, and probably others as well.

replies: text: Mathew Baker →  – As pointed out above under Talk:Mathew Baker#Untitled, subject's name has also been referenced as "Matthew Baker". Those searching for the shipwright under the given name "Matthew" or for other men named "Matthew Baker", but possibly typing "Mathew Baker", would be best served by "Mathew Baker" redirecting to the Matthew Baker disambiguation page. :Category:English shipwrights lists five entries that use the parenthetical qualifier "(shipwright)" and one that uses "(shipbuilder)". If, however, consensus were to prefer "(shipbuilder)", I would not oppose such a qualifier. This nomination is tangentially related to the still-active RM at Talk:Matt Baker (presenter)#Requested move 2 February 2022 in that the name "Matt Baker" also redirects to the Matthew Baker disambiguation page. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:24, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
