message: What exactly is a "magazine building" refered to in the first section?  I am unfamiliar with this term, and a quick search on WP & the web didn't turn up any definitions, but I didn't want to remove it in case it is a familiar term in other parts of the world.

A magazine is a store such as a warehouse.  It is a very common Flemish and Dutch word.    The nearest English comparison I would make would be a magazine for ammunition. MalcolmSm1th (talk) 04:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Impounded Harbours 

message: Many of the cities on the natural harbor list have their own articles dedicated to the harbors - should we change the links from the main city article to the harbor?  See Boston Harbor and New York Harbor as examples  CSZero 15:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Harbor Articles 

message: From the long list of notable harbors, I failed to find any single one from the mainland China. While when I opened another page "List of world's busiest ports by cargo tonnage", There're five from the mainland China ranked in top 10 in the world by cargo tonnage, and 8 in top 20. So I guess this section should be renamed as "Notable Harbors beyond the Mainland China".
And as to "The busiest harbor is the twin Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach in southern California in the United States", they can be found nowhere in the list by cargo tonnage, and could only be in No.5 in the List of busiest container ports if put together. So I do think this section is made of poor quality and some citations should be needed here.

thread_title:  Notable Harbors 

message: arent all harbours (partially) surrounded by ground ? The article doesnt state this. Also, it should mention that a harbor is a type of seaport (surrounded by ground)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.245.79.192 (talk) 16:28, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Definition

message: Whys was this article's spelling changed from the original harbour to the current harbor? - it was previously in the original UK and Commonwealth spelling but was moved in 2006.
:The move history is confusing.  Please see Talk:Harbour where it seems to have been named Harbor in 2004. In any case, 3-5 years have passed and some of the edit history has been lost, so it is probably a little late to bring this up. VMS Mosaic (talk) 02:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Page name

message: Can a bay be a harbor, and can a harbor be a bay? Neither of those articles makes reference to that, but I'd like to know how this could be defined. Does anybody know? Schwede66 (talk) 05:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bay and Harbor 

message: It is claimed here that Mumbai is the World's Largest Natural Harbour.  The Wikipedia entry for Sydney,Australia claims that  Port Jackson (aka Sydney Harbour) is the largest. Can somebody research this and correct one or the other (I don't know the answer myself).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.41.133.81 (talk) 06:28, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know how you define a harbour.  The only referrable source I can find saying anything is [], which is hardly a wonderful source.  If you're including anything called a "bay" though, then Hudson Bay is enormous, and if it's any area of sea enclosed by land with just a little opening, then you'd have to include the Mediterranean / Black Seas, which together would be easily the largest.  Maybe we need a bit of a tighter definition of what a harbour is. 92.21.143.70 (talk) 22:18, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
