Talk:Swampscott dory

message: hey, what's wrong with listing a builder of a boat...? They have more information at their site.

It is also advertising.  I don't think their model is particularly true to the Swampscott type either.  Of course with so few contemporary illustrations and so many different builders it is hard to argue the point.  Having lived a good part of my life in the Swampscott neighborhood I can say I have never seen a dory like their's locally.

A brief look at the articles history will show that it was -not- labeled as nominated for deletion, and, unsurprisingly, that was not discussed.  A slightly longer look at the article, the Banks dory article, and the Dory article will suggest why this proposed merger is incorrect.   Anmccaff (talk) 17:37, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: No.  Consensus implies previous discussion of the topic; you closed shortly after offering your suggestion, and have since conceded that it would have been better discussed before closing.  Anmccaff (talk) 18:50, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The Deletion Review on this has unanimously supported Salv's close, so consensus is against you here... Sergecross73 msg me 19:00, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Precisely.  A two-day consensus to merge this article.  Anmccaff (talk) 19:33, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not...exactly what you're driving at, but my point is that so far, you are the only person, out of like 10 people consulted so far, who has objected to Salv's decision. You can keep complaining all you want, but there's a firm consensus that he was in the right in his decision and action. Sergecross73 msg me 19:51, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Leaving aside the implication of canvassing posed by "consulted", what this seems to say is that there are 10 wikitors willing to vote on merger without bothering to read the sources, or whose bureaucratic mindset pinholes their vision to narrow questions of form.  I don't think that is exactly news. Anmccaff (talk) 20:43, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: "Consulted" doesn't implicitly mean "canvassed". No one was canvassed, nor is there any evidence to suggest otherwise. Now please, stop assuming bad faith, and once the DRV is closed, you need to adhere to the consensus, or you'll be blocked for editing against consensus.

text: * Anmccaff, I'm inclined to agree the Swampscott dory could remain as its own article. But I stopped participating some time ago because the combative way you demean the rest of us makes trying to collaborate too odious. I would rather do something else. --Epipelagic (talk) 23:11, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

message: As already discussed above the round-siders preceded the straight-sides dories, and by many years. Anmccaff (talk) 20:47, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  What's wrong with listing other sites with information about building and outfitting a Swampscott dory? 

message: A photo is a primary source of the design that the Swampscott Dories are designed to be launched from the beach, because it's showing an actual dory being launched from the beach.
:Take a look at WP:PRIMARY which says "Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so".--Cornellier (talk) 04:36, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
